Wedderburn Castle

Wedderburn is an exceptional private castle available for exclusive use for weddings and celebrations.

The castle was built 240 years ago as a place to entertain and designed by Scotland’s most renowned architects, Robert Adam and James Gillespie Graham. Today Wedderburn’s magnificent rooms provide the perfect space for wedding ceremonies and receptions.

Wedderburn has party spaces suitable for weddings and events of up to 150, using either the castle itself or our new barn wedding venue. Rental of the castle includes all 12 bedrooms and five reception rooms. There is accommodation for 26 resident guests in the castle and up to 42 if using the luxurious estate cottages and lodges. In recent years the interiors and grounds have been restored to retain the property’s original charm and include all modern comforts required to make your stay enjoyable.

Religious and civil ceremonies can be held at the castle, or there are many beautiful churches nearby. Activities for guests – such as clay shooting in the grass park – are also available. We welcome live music and dancing in the ballroom after dinner.

Launching this year Wedderburn Barns, our new barn wedding venue, provides a more rustic experience than the castle. Set around a romantic courtyard in the Georgian stable block in the castle grounds there are two barns - one for eating and one for bands and dancing. At the barns we offer a wide variety of dining options ranging from hog roast to more formal buffet options, providing something for everybody.

Wedderburn is now celebrating its fifteenth year as a wedding venue. Please get in touch to arrange a visit or to talk to us about planning your perfect wedding

      So happy we chose to get married at Wedderburn
      Thank you very much for helping organise what was probably the best day of my life. I absolutely LOVED every second of my wedding so thank you very much for all your help in the organization and on the day itself. We have received some lovely thank you letters from the guests who all mentioned what a superb setting it was, how lovely it all looked, how delicious the food was and how smoothly it all ran. I am so happy we chose to get married at Wedderburn.

      Close to a year after our wedding, our family and our guests are still talking about our time at Wedderburn-- the beauty of the castle and grounds, the comfortable accommodations, the delicious food, and incredible service. Everything was first class and your staff made our wedding an incredibly special event. David and Georgina were an absolute pleasure to work with. I really appreciated all your helpfulness and patience with us while planning this from overseas. It was new to all of us and you made it so easy for us. I would be happy to write a recommendation for anyone inquiring about the castle. I could not have been happier with how the entire weekend turned out.

      We would like to say a big thank you and all of your staff for making our wedding weekend so absolutely fantastic. We had the most amazing weekend and everything was perfect, even the weather. All of your team worked so hard to make everything so wonderful and perfect and we didn't have to think about anything on the day. The food was absolutely fantastic, the BBQ, breakfast, lunch, canapes, wedding breakfast and supper were all delicious. All of our guests have commented on how wonderful Wedderburn is, how hard your team worked, and how amazing the whole weekend was. We absolutely loved every minute of the whole weekend, and hopefully will come back and stay in a lodge next year to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.

      The attention to detail was outstanding.
      The attention to detail was outstanding in every way and we cannot thank everyone at Wedderburn enough. Our families had the most wonderful time and all have said that they have not enjoyed themselves so much and been so spoiled. The food was superb throughout our stay.

      Wonderful time, outstanding food...
      One and all so enjoyed their time at Wedderburn. Everything went so smoothly, the food was outstanding, the castle warm. I didn't hear one word of complaint indeed there were many compliments and the whole event was just one big success. To have the run of the house with very little interference really is an excellant idea and it makes one feel so at home at such a joyous time. There is no doubt that this whole time will live long in our memories - Thank you.
