Private events
D’Oyly Carte Island has hosted a number of private events from the late Queens Jubilee, the Kings Coronation, supper clubs and Christmas Carols with a hog roast and a wedding for 180 guests.
Birthdays & Anniversaries
Birthdays, anniversaries, and supper clubs can all be accommodated at D’Oyly’s, or on the islands East Gardens.
A typical event would be 50 -100 people with a venue and food budget of £75 per head
Weddings
We have limited availability for weddings in June 2026.
The most successful format is to take the guests on a journey covering all areas of the island throughout your special day.
Start with a drinks reception and/or ceremony on the East garden surrounded by water and a wide flower garden. Throwing the brides bouquet from the first floor balcony to the crowds below was a great crowd pleaser!!
Move from the East garden to the West garden where we will have a beautiful marque for the formal part of the day with speeches and the main meal.
Move from the East garden to the end of the island , where D'Oyly's will host your guests for drinks, dancing and a party on the river.
Every wedding is personal so we will provided a private island, a stunning marque, all the tables and chairs and a party venue to die for. Whilst every wedding is different a we recommend you budget £30k which includes £10k of drinks served to your guests from D'Oyly's amazing choice of beers, wines and cocktails.
This leaves you to personalise the event with catering, flowers, decoration and music.
