Romantic Scilly

It's hard not to fall in love with Scilly ... Islands of colour, character and contrast, with a warmth and hospitality rare anywhere in the world today. Whatever your special reason for loving Scilly, the Isles are the perfect place for celebrating special occasions.

The Isles of Scilly are a perfect place to combine a romantic holiday with a special celebration. Whether you are thinking of marrying or forming a civil partnership, celebrating the birth of your child or wanting to renew your vows in an island setting, where better than in Scilly?

Weddings/Civil Partnerships
If you're looking for a romantic island setting for your wedding, look no further. If you're looking for the perfect honeymoon destination, then you've just found it. Why travel abroad to an exotic beach location, when on your doorstep is a stunning collection of Islands with white sandy beaches, beautiful floral displays and gardens, great food and wonderful accommodation? And after the ceremony, you can relax, unwind, and enjoy your honeymoon without having to travel to another destination.

Four venues are licensed for weddings and civil partnership ceremonies. On St Mary's choose between the Register Office overlooking Porthcressa Beach, the historical setting of the Old Wesleyan Chapel or Juliet's Garden Restaurant with its magnificent views over the Islands and the harbour. Or why not opt for the beachside St Martin's-on-the-Isle Hotel? It offers all the service, flexibility and attention to detail that one expects from a premier hotel.

In addition, Scilly provides the little extras that make your romantic get-away even more special, including: photographs, spas, flowers, hairdressing, transport, music and great food!

Whatever your choice, we aim to ensure that no matter what your requests are for your memorable day, your expectations will be exceeded.
