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…
