VENUES
The Isle of Wight is truly blessed with an array of exceptional venues, each offering its own distinctive charm and elegance.
For grander gatherings, East Afton Farmhouse provides a breathtaking backdrop, nestled amidst rolling countryside. This exquisite estate features a collection of beautifully restored spaces including the Stone Barn, Events Barn, and the Coach House & Courtyard, perfectly suited for a stylish celebration immersed in nature.
In East Cowes, discover the historic Albert Cottage Hotel, once part of Queen Victoria’s Osborne Estate. This regal setting combines heritage and sophistication, offering a unique glimpse into the island’s royal past.
For more intimate affairs, Foresters Hall in the heart of Cowes’ Old Town is a refined boutique hotel exuding character and charm, ideal for smaller, elegant celebrations.
Another standout is The George Hotel in Yarmouth, a 17th-century townhouse steeped in history. Formerly the residence of Sir Robert Holmes, the island’s governor, and a frequent retreat for King Charles II, it offers a blend of coastal luxury and timeless grandeur.
Additional highly recommended venues include the rustic-chic Apple Farm, the stylish Brunswick Hotel, and the elegant Landguard Manor in Shanklin. Northwood House in Cowes exudes stately charm, while Ventnor Botanic Gardens and Pink Mead Estate offer enchanting settings for bespoke marquee events, perfect for those looking to infuse their celebration with a personal touch.
These are just a few of the many exquisite venues that make the Isle of Wight a truly magical destination for any celebration.
ENTERTAINMENT
It’s not all about the DJ – elevate your celebration with a curated selection of premium entertainment from a range of local suppliers.
Add a touch of glamour with a Casino or Blackjack table, offering guests the thrill of risk-free gaming in true Monte Carlo style, available from Wight Entertainment and Shuffles Events. Capture memories with sophistication using a Photobooth or the enchanting Magical Mirror from Isle of Wight Party Shop, perfect for personalised selfies and beautifully framed moments set against the backdrop of your event.
Delight your guests with exquisite caricature artistry by Adam Brown, or mesmerise them with close-up magic from the incredible Luke Lamont or Huxley Magic. If your venue boasts a scenic outdoor space, why not indulge in a game of boutique Crazy Golf from Wight Entertainment, always a guest favourite.
To close the evening in style, consider a 2 or 3 Channel Silent Disco from Hush Silent Disco. It’s the perfect way to maintain an elegant atmosphere while offering diverse music choices tailored to every guest, all with minimal noise and maximum impact.
CATERING
Cuisine is at the heart of every unforgettable wedding, and I’m fortunate to experience some truly exceptional menus during All-Day celebrations.
Seasoned Kitchen by Kevin Hendy delivers exquisite canapés and beautifully crafted meals, combining refined flavours with elegant presentation. All About Catering are another standout, offering delectable dishes that are not only delicious but also impeccably served with care and professionalism.
For a more relaxed yet indulgent experience, a Hog Roast by Fat Shaun’s never fails to impress, while So Much Dough crafts artisan pizzas that are perfect for an evening treat, served fresh and bursting with flavour.
When it comes to something sweet, The Plaza Ices serve some of the finest traditional ice cream on the Island. For a contemporary twist, Island Ice offer hand-rolled ice cream that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious, a truly memorable dessert experience.
PHOTOGRAPHERS & VIDEOGRAPHERS
Every photographer brings their own distinctive style and creative vision, and I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside some truly exceptional talent. Notable names include Boynton & Jones, Adam Jervis, and Jess Lyon — each capturing timeless moments with artistry and elegance.
For those looking to preserve their day in motion, Captured Videography and The Media House Agency are outstanding choices. Their cinematic storytelling and discreet approach ensure every precious detail is beautifully documented.
