WEDDINGS ON ISLAY

-

Islay lies off the West Coast of Scotland, within the group of islands known as the Inner Hebrides. Islay, the ‘Jewel of the Hebrides’ was once the seat of the Lord of the Isles; the ruins of their council buildings can still be seen today on an island in the middle of Loch Finlaggan.

Where to get married on Islay?

There are lots of beautiful locations on Islay to choose from and you can pick any one of them, whether it be one of Islay’s glorious beaches or a working distillery. The choice is yours. Options include Ionad Chaluim Chille Ile, Port Mor and Finlaggan.

Port Mor

This community facility is in the beautiful conservati­on village of Port Charlotte. Marriages can take place in the grounds around the centre which include a small beach, campsite and football pitches. In the event of bad weather, the centre boasts a beautiful glass-fronted room with fantastic views across Lochindaal to the Mull of Oa.

Loch Gorm House

Chatterbox Flowers

The Isle of Islay brims with Highland beauty at every turn, especially in its ‘machair’ dune areas, where wildflower­s burst into life each spring. In fact, there are a number of uncommon species that thrive on Islay. We can tailor your bridal bouquet to suit your specificat­ions including exotic, wild and seasonal flowers.
