Islay Gardens × Amy Rose Events
A garden where love lingers in the air and every gathering feels like a secret meant only for those present. Sunlight through the leaves, tables dressed in warmth, laughter carried gently on the breeze. Carefully curated moments unfold slowly here — intimate, tender, unforgettable.

Islay Gardens was created for gentle gatherings — afternoons that unfold without rush, conversations that linger, sunlight filtering through leaves while time softens around you. This is a place for presence. For intention. For parties that feel less like events and more like moments you step inside and stay awhile.🌺

Micro weddings, intimate dinners, quiet toasts, and meaningful circles of friends — nature becomes the backdrop and the rhythm. Nothing loud. Nothing hurried. Only beauty, connection, and the luxury of being fully here.🌿

Gather softly. Celebrate slowly. Let the day breathe.
