Weddings at McArthur Manor

McArthur Manor will not be the right venue for every couple, and we are comfortable with that.

If you are looking for a hotel-style wedding package where everything is pre-designed and selected from a brochure, there are plenty of venues that do that very well.

We take a different approach.

The Manor is hired exclusively to one group at a time, and each wedding is built around the couple rather than around a predefined package. Some celebrations are elegant and formal. Others are relaxed, informal and spread over several days. Most are somewhere in between.

What tends to attract couples here is the freedom to shape the experience around the people attending, rather than fitting their plans around a venue’s operating model.

Most couples stay for two or three nights, turning their wedding into a gathering rather than simply an event. Friends and family arrive, settle in, spend time together, and celebrate at a pace that feels comfortable. With a standard 4pm departure time, the relaxed atmosphere continues into the final day, giving everyone time to enjoy breakfast, say proper goodbyes, and leave without the usual rushed morning departure.

For some people, that is exactly what they are looking for.

For others, it is not.

The important thing is finding the venue that feels right for you.

More Than Just Venue Hire

When you book McArthur Manor, you are not simply hiring a building.

From your first enquiry through to departure, you work directly with Nicholas and Cynthia, who personally oversee every wedding hosted at the Manor. We can help with:

• Wedding planning and timeline development
• Tailored setup of the property to your chosen style
• Supplier coordination
• On-the-day scheduling and support
• Guest logistics and accommodation planning
• Catering, entertainment and activity arrangements

Every wedding is different. Some couples prefer a hands-on approach, while others want us to manage as much as possible. Most choose something in between.

A Magical Experience

Our wedding at McArthur Manor (01 October 2025) was nothing short of magical.
From the moment we arrived, Nicholas and Andy made us feel at home, supported, and genuinely cared for. By the time we said “I do,” it felt like we’d gained two new friends.
The Manor is breathtaking — traditional, cosy, and full of character. Our guests loved exploring the 30 beautiful ensuite rooms, the woodland grounds, the courtyard, and the many social spaces throughout the house. The function suite was perfect for our 60‑guest celebration, and the lounges and bars created lovely pockets for conversation and relaxation.
Andy’s food was a highlight of the entire weekend. From afternoon tea to breakfasts to our Mexican family‑style feast, everything was delicious, thoughtful, and beautifully catered for all dietary needs. Our guests are still talking about it.
Nicholas’ organisation made the whole planning process effortless. Timelines, allergens, room allocations — every detail was handled with care. We never felt stressed, only excited.
McArthur Manor is a venue with heart. Nicholas and Andy pour themselves into every moment, and it shows. We would recommend it 1000 times over

Wedding in september - relaxed, currated menu, friendly staff, amazing venue.

We got married at McArthur Manor last September and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue itself is beautiful and makes for an amazing wedding destination.

Our coordinator, Nicholas, was amazing from start to finish. He worked with us on every single detail and had a chilled approach that really helped keep the atmosphere relaxed and stress-free.

Another massive highlight was the food—it was absolutely insane! A huge shout out to Andy the chef, who allowed us to completely curate the menu and worked closely with us to get it perfect. Combined with the lovely bar staff and team, the service was top-tier. We lucked out with great weather, but the overall experience was great.

Our perfect day

McArthur Manor was the perfect setting for our happy event. Our dream was for an exclusive-use venue for our family and friends to gather and celebrate our wedding wih us. From our first inquiry call with Nicholas, we knew we wanted to work with him. That was instantly confirmed when we toured the manor. Beatiful inside and out. Loads of character, presented in a way that feels warm and inviting. Nicholas's helped us work within our budget and his enthusiam and flexibiity for our event never changed. Right up to and including our event, he and his staff were at our service. Any and every odd request was met with a smile and 'No problem.' All that culminated in our dream come true wedding. Our guests raved about the food, the accomodation, the service and the grounds. We highly recommend McArthur Manor.

Perfect wedding Venue

Perfect wedding Venue. Nick went above and beyond to make sure that we had a perfect wedding weekend. We had 21 family members staying in the house and 80 for the ceremony and reception - there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space as well as enjoy the common rooms together. If the venue is within your budget and is available during your days I highly recommend booking.

Beautiful Manor Wedding

We hosted our wedding here on 11 November 2017 during a 3 night stay. It was absolutely wonderful. The building has so much warmth, charm and character and it is beautifully decorated. Nick and Cynthia were so friendly and very informative and we felt we were in good hands when we visited before booking. There were 29 of us staying the three nights and an additional 40 - 50 people for the wedding. We had the ceremony in the Terrace room, which is already beautifully decorated, although we added some of our own! We managed to have 8 large tables for the meal and plenty of space left over for dancing and buffet tables. All of our guests commented on how perfect the venue was. The catering was spot on with the meals and service being to a great standard . All of the cutlery and plates were also beautiful. All in all, a great place for an event of any kind! We even saw the white peacock the day we left. Perfect ending to a perfect weekend! Nick must have been exhausted by the end as he did so much for us and was only too pleased to help.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

Hi, I'm Nicholas, owner of McArthur Manor. Alongside my wife, Cynthia, I have the privilege of welcoming couples and their families to our exclusive use venue in the heart of Perthshire.

As a family run business, we take a very hands on approach and genuinely enjoy getting to know each couple's vision for their day. From your first enquiry through to the wedding itself, we're here to offer guidance, practical support, and a warm welcome, helping you create a celebration that feels relaxed, personal, and truly your own.

For us, it's about more than simply providing a venue. We love seeing friends and families come together to make lasting memories in a place that feels like a home away from home.
