Venues with wedding licences

Are you looking for that perfect wedding venue for your destination wedding? Then look no further. The Isle of Wight has every kind of reception venue to hold your ceremony and perfect reception. Whether you’re looking for a rustic, outdoor setting or an unusual hotel, we have something for everyone on this Island paradise.

While you can always get married at our official council registrar offices in Newport, and then set up your bridal reception at a venue of your choice, we also have plenty of venues that offer both on the same site. To save the hassle of travelling between venues for your guests, why not plan your event at the same spot. All you need to do is contact the officiant and complete the paperwork, book the perfect venue to hold the ceremony and party, and you’re there.

From unsual to traditional

We have plenty of unusual wedding venues, as well as the more traditional places to get married. If you’re looking for wedding ceremony ideas, then flick through our list of venues that hold wedding licences below. You’ll find an eclectic mix of outdoor wedding ideas, intimate wedding venues, various function venues and plenty of unique weddings to choose from.

Whether you’re looking for a hotel wedding or just looking for a wedding guide, we can help. All the details have to be perfect, of course, ranging from your invitations, decorations and cake to your venue, accessories and wedding dresses. At many venues you can get wedding packages offering everything you need for a seamless day, or you can choose to work with one of our Island-based wedding planners if your prefer. If you’re sticking to a wedding budget planner, then it’s always an option to hire the venue and decorate yourself. There are plenty of places, services and venues on the Isle of Wight that will definitely make your special day the best of your lives.
