Idle is the perfect picturesque location for your special day.

Our team will work closely with you both to curate a truly unique and memorable day for up to 40 people.

From celebrants, photographers, floral arrangements, catering and bride + groom accommodation, we can take care of it all. Or alternatively you can use your own team and hire the space.

Carefully tailored packages that reflect the two of you .

Idle works with a handpicked list of professional like minded creatives, wedding planners, stylists, caterers and celebrants. The team are more than happy to work with you both on whatever it is you require. If you would prefer another caterer, celebrant, or extended time on board etc we can chop change each package to suit exactly what you guys are after. Our goal is to make your day a stress free as possible, so you can just sit back, relax and enjoy this beautiful milestone together.

Gone are the days of the big flashy wedding.

With world events changing the way we live forever and ever, more and more of us are opting to spend our time with the people that really matter. And what matters more than the day you say I do?

We have carefully curated three unique little packages we think might tickle your unique little fancy. easy breezy, full of fun times and most important of all - small. So you and your lover can look back on memories of laughter with your nearest and dearest, a stunning heart felt ceremony (rain, hail or shine), and dancing all night long over moonlit seas.

Let’s get you hitched.
