Celebrate one of the most important days of your life at The Nightingale Hotel. Originally built as a private house known as Blenheim in the late 1800s by members of the Court of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, the building was converted later and was called the Blenheim Guest House. Now named after the poem by John Keats ‘Ode to a Nightingale’ to commemorate the poet’s connection with Shanklin, The Nightingale Hotel is one of the best three star hotels on the Island boasting spectacular sea views, hospitality and service.


For your wedding, you have the opportunity to rent the entire hotel of 31 rooms on a bed and breakfast basis for yourself and your guests to enjoy. Our Seaview Suite is allocated for the Bride and Groom which comes with a complimentary bottle of Champagne, chocolates, fruits and flowers with a late check-out. The price for this is £3,900 which also includes:


• Ceremony arrangements • Personal wedding coordinator to assist with the wedding planning


• Private use of marquee, wedding arch, white chair covers, white table linen


There is a choice of a civil ceremony wedding to be held outdoors or indoors,


as well as having the banquet only. We are suited right next to a beautiful gothic church only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Alternatively, we offer our private dining room and/or garden to be rented out for a Wedding Ceremony and/or Reception. Please note: this venue is available for 3 hours on this basis and the private dining room is for a maximum of 40 people. The price for this is £1200 which includes:


• Ceremony arrangements • Personal wedding coordinator to assist with the wedding planning • Private use of marquee, wedding arch, white chair covers, white table linen • Complimentary accommodation in a suite for the bride and groom for the night of the wedding


The Nightingale Hotel can put together your whole wedding package if required including invitations, photographer, cake, decorations, flower arrangements, transport, entertainment, children’s entertainment, DJ or band. We offer a choice of buffet, 3 course menu, selection of canapés or a garden barbecue during summer time. Our chef is able to offer an extensive variety of cuisines of your choice and will work closely with the bride and groom to create a unique menu to everyone’s taste.
