venue to host your dream wedding. From intimate
religious ceremonies in beautifully ornate chapels to relaxed civil ceremonies in historical surroundings, and from informal family receptions to grand and lavish celebrations, the opportunities for creating your perfect day are endless.
These secluded yet accessible venues offer not only privacy but also a spectacular backdrop for stunning photography. Fyvie Castle, near Turriff, is no exception: expansive woodland, a private loch and a sweeping driveway make for a dramatic entrance to the estate. Enter the castle to discover the sumptuous Great Gallery, with a self-playing pipe organ ist this impressive setting can host ceremonies and receptions for up to 120 guests. For a less formal occasion, the early twentieth-century racquets court, covered by a beautiful glass roof, offers a larger space for a dinner dance for up to 150 guests. Marquees can also be erected in the grounds to accommodate larger celebrations, with the floodlit castle providing a romantic backdrop.
If you are thinking about a grand stately home for your wedding, then search no more: Haddo House, near Ellon, is a grand yet welcoming country house built with entertaining in mind! Adjoining the house, Haddo’s simplistic chapel, with traditional wooden pews and stunning stained-glass
window, is available to any Christian denomination and can seat up to 100 guests.

For a fairytale wedding, venture further north to Brodie Castle and experience Highland hospitality in all its glory! The embodiment of sixteenth-century grandeur, Brodie Castle is set amidst 175 acres of magnificent parkland, 3 miles west of Forres in Moray. This venue offers great flexibility: your wedding at Brodie Castle can be small and intimate, or for larger celebrations a marquee can be erected on the lawn adjoining the castle. For a memorable end to your special day, The Laird’s Wing in the castle offers luxurious accommodation for up to 14 guests, making it the ideal venue in which to celebrate with family and friends.
What’s more, the National Trust for Scotland offers exceptional value for money: by hosting your wedding in one venue, you can reduce transport costs and be able to make the most of the day with your guests. It is also reassuring to know that by choosing a Trust venue you will be helping Scotland’s largest conservation charity to protect the nation’s natural and cultural heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.
