Your Dream Scottish Castle Wedding Starts Here

Whether you're dreaming of an intimate celebration, a grand exclusive-use wedding or something in between, Melville Castle gives you the freedom to celebrate your day, your way. Set within 54 acres of private woodland just minutes from Edinburgh, our historic Scottish castle offers unforgettable weddings from romantic elopements to celebrations for up to 200 guests.

One of the things couples love most about Melville Castle is the flexibility to choose the wedding that suits them best. Unlike many Scottish castle wedding venues, you don't have to book the entire venue to enjoy your special day with us. Whether you're planning a smaller celebration or wish to enjoy exclusive use of the castle, we'll help you create the perfect experience around your vision and your budget.

From the moment you arrive along our mile-long tree-lined driveway, you'll feel like you've stepped into your own fairy tale. Hidden within beautiful grounds yet conveniently close to Edinburgh city centre and Edinburgh Airport, Melville Castle offers the perfect balance of secluded romance and easy access for your family and friends.

You can exchange your vows beneath the open Scottish skies on our stunning South Lawn or inside one of our elegant State Rooms or light-filled Ballroom. However you imagine your day, our experienced team will help bring every detail to life.

After saying "I do", enjoy drinks and canapés while wandering through our picturesque grounds for unforgettable photographs before sitting down to a delicious wedding breakfast. Our talented in-house chefs create seasonal menus using the finest Scottish ingredients, carefully paired with exceptional wines to create a dining experience your guests will remember for years to come.

For larger celebrations, your beautifully dressed marquee provides the perfect setting for dining, speeches and dancing beneath sparkling chandeliers and fairy lights. Later, raise a glass in our atmospheric Library Bar, enjoy a dram of Scottish whisky or dance the night away surrounded by the people you love most.

When the celebrations come to an end, you and your guests can relax in one of our 33 individually designed bedrooms and suites, including two luxurious bridal suites, allowing you to extend your celebrations into the following morning.

From your first enquiry until your last dance, our dedicated wedding team will be by your side, ensuring your planning journey is as enjoyable as your wedding day itself.

As part of your journey with us, you'll also receive exclusive access to our online Wedding Planner where you can:

✔ Create your own personalised wedding quote.
