You can hire the island and embark on the next chapter of your life surrounded by sea views, exceptional decor and the Devonshire sunshine, knowing the rest of your lives begin in the perfect place to say ‘I do’.
What could be more romantic than dedicating the rest of your lives together on an island, surrounded by breathtaking coastal views? Burgh Island is an enchanting and captivating location within Devon providing the perfect location for a magical UK coastal wedding.
We invite couples and up to 50 guests to utilise the hotel for their most special day in a coastal wedding venue everyone will be talking about. When you choose Burgh Island Hotel for your magical day, you will have access to 25 of our wonderfully unique rooms, each boasting its own charm, striking views and comfortable amenities. The hotel also offers an abundance of things to do with some incredible restaurants within our island confines. Additionally, take yourself back to the charm of the 20s and 30s with our gorgeous Art Deco theme.
To ensure your wedding is the talk of the town (and the island), we thrive on giving love birds the opportunity to create a bespoke ‘signature cocktail’ for a truly personal touch to your big day. Our talented bar staff will create a unique tipple and provide guests with inspiring recipe cards as a thoughtful keepsake of your extravagant coastal wedding. Dance your way down to our Art Deco Palm Court Lounge with fabulous entertainment – we’re always eager to recommend Murder Mystery players and London-based cabaret to wow your guests. Dance the night away under the stars on our outdoor dance floor surrounded by the sounds of lapping waves and the laughter of loved ones. The bar closes at midnight, with the option to extend to 2am, so there’s no reason for the Foxtrot to stop!
You can experience the charm and grandeur of the island for exclusive use, with delicious locally-sourced dishes and spectacular views from Sunday to Thursday from £20,000 or from Friday to Saturday from £46,000.

The perfect coastal wedding venue in Devon and a truly iconic hotel in its own right: Burgh Island Hotel could not be more incredible. Steeped in history, the hotel’s lavish interior will transport you back to the swinging 20s and 30s and invite you to jazz and jive your way through the bar and party till your feet hurt, celebrating your special day surrounded by spectacularity.
Nowhere else can you enjoy the reprise of the island’s privacy while also being inundated with a choice of fabulous things to do, see and eat. On the island you have access to a choice of delicious dining experiences, such as exceptional fine dining in our Grand Ballroom, as well as our famous Nettlefold restaurant, trying incredible traditional British cuisine surrounded by sights of the coast. Or perhaps try the equally delicious The Pilchard Inn, a little island gem with over 700 years of history behind it and a menu of local produce.
The hotel itself is home to an abundance of fabulous facilities. Our Ballroom hosts a selection of fantastic events, including your first dance, murder mystery events, lavish dinners, and of course, balls where extravagant evening wear is a must. Alternatively, explore the wider island and engage in a game of croquet, tennis or snooker, or work your way through the cocktail menu in our Art Deco bar. Not to mention the sea quite literally on your doorstep, ready to be explored and enjoyed.
Once you’ve chosen Burgh Island as your coastal UK wedding, finding us shouldn’t be a problem. We can be found just a moment away from Bigbury-on-Sea where you can board our iconic sea tractor and ride over the waves to your incredible wedding location.
