What to expect

Can they make this a wedding to remember?

Cal and Demi are preparing to turn their beloved Kilhallon Resort into a wedding venue. With the cliff-top setting and coastal views, it's the perfect place for a magical ceremony.

To launch the venue they need something special, and their first clients are no ordinary couple. The bridge and groom are internationally famous actors Lily Craig and Ben Trevone. And they have the demands to match their celebrity status.

As the big day approaches and tempers soar, can Demi and Cal ensure that Kilhallon's first wedding goes off without a hitch? One thing’s for sure, this will be a Cornish celebration like no other …
