Interior of barn during wedding reception at East Afton Farmhouse, Isle of Wight

The Isle of Wight offers a picturesque backdrop for a wedding reception like no other. Our breathtaking landscapes, quaint villages, and rich history make for a unique and unforgettable celebration. Here, you can choose to get married and host your reception at a wealth of different venues, from country manors, clifftop sites, beachside hotels and royal residences, the Island has something for all wedding reception styles.

As well as finding the perfect reception venue, the Island has a thriving wedding supplier community - from planners to florists, magicians to festival tent hire, every small detail can be managed right here.

Treat yourself to first-class venues, amazing local food and sunnier weather (we regularly top the charts for our hours of sunshine and higher than average temperatures) and say “I do” at a real ‘Wight’ wedding…

Reception inspiration

From country house hotels offering laidback beach venues, to quirky locations, we have it all.

For stylish celebrations on a grand scale, follow Queen Victoria’s lead and get married on the Durbar Lawn at Osborne House. For classic country style, The Apple Farm in Afton where your ceremony can take place in the courtyard under the grapevine overlooking Tennyson Down.

If breathtaking reception views are at the top of your must-have list, Isle of Wight Pearl offers some of the best on the Island with a stunning vista across the English Channel towards Compton Bay.

Imagine your wedding in a sub-tropical garden paradise. Botanic Dream Weddings at Ventnor Botanic Gardens is an ideal setting for an unforgettable wedding - from the New Zealand Garden, Australia, the Med or even Japan, there’s a beautiful backdrop for your outdoor wedding experience.

Take a look at our list below for more wedding ceremony and reception venue inspiration, some of which can offer an all-inclusive wedding package.
