Say 'I Do' on Necker Island

A Private Island Wedding Like No Other

Can you think of a better place to get married than Necker Island? Sir Richard Branson married his wife Joan here, arriving at the ceremony clinging to a helicopter. Twenty years later, his daughter Holly followed suit.

Couples seeking a suitably romantic setting to make their vows may opt for the stunning southern terrace of The Great House, the peacefully secluded setting of Elder’s Temple or, following in both Richard and Holly Branson’s footsteps, the white sands of Turtle Beach.

We can organise almost anything to make your special day just that, from dazzling fireworks to fabulous floral arrangements, gourmet dinners, beach barbecues, whatever it takes to make your event unforgettable. Your guests will be treated to a stylish reception and a legendary Necker afterparty, with the opportunity to relax and enjoy luxury amenities and the wide variety of activities in between
