The Boathouse and Yurt Experience
At the heart of every Priory Bay wedding is its signature combination of seaside luxury and rustic charm. The Boathouse and Yurt are beautifully designed to celebrate their surroundings with sweeping sea views and the perfect balance of laid-back and elegant.
The yurt’s handcrafted structure sits within the woods overlooking the bay, creating a secluded space for dining, dancing, and toasting under the stars. Meanwhile, the beach itself offers endless opportunities for a truly bespoke set-up with long tables on the sand, driftwood arches, or even a sunset bonfire to round off the evening.
