Get married at Islay Cottages
Enjoy a spectacular wedding on this stunning island, surrounded by beauty. Beaches, sea, sand and the rugged Scottish countryside create the perfect backdrop for your special day.
Islay Cottages wedding venue
In Scotland, a civil marriage ceremony can take place anywhere that has been agreed by the couple and the registration authority, so long as it isn’t a religious building. So that means you can get married here at Islay Cottages, inside or outside. Make the most of our dramatic beach scenery and serene countryside in wedding photos that will forever be spellbinding.
We offer accommodation for up to 34 guests, making our Islay wedding venue perfect for small, intimate weddings or micro-weddings. We can work with you to make it exactly as you want. Would you like a marquee on the front lawn, decorated tastefully to your specifications? Or how about a barefoot wedding on the nearby beach, with the crashing waves creating your background music? You might rather have your wedding indoors, or even hike everyone up a hill! Islay is such a stunning setting for a wedding that you can let your imagination run free.
