  The perfect venue for our big day

  As soon as we drove up to Dundas, we knew it was the venue for us. The castle and grounds are just extraordinary, with stunning views in every direction. The interior has been maintained beautifully, so that it feels traditional but fresh at the same time.
  The interaction with the team at Dundas was exemplary from the first time seeing the place, throughout the planning and particularly on the day itself - they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, at ease, and to handle all our needs. There are so many beautiful options of where to host your ceremony, and the suppliers on the recommended list were all fabulous at helping us put together our dream day.
  We opted to have the venue the night before, and had the perfect time with our wedding party and immediate family, enjoying the wide range of facilities and relaxation areas. This also meant we could get ready on-site, which was so much fun and something out of a fairytale.
  All our guests commented on how stunning the place is, and how helpful the staff were on the day.
  We could not recommend Dundas highly enough - it is truly special, and we are so grateful for the support we received throughout the planning process and celebration itself.

  Felt like home

  The team at Dundas Castle made us feel so welcome from the moment we went to view the venue to the day we left after our wedding. The whole weekend was perfect, the wedding team are incredible and our guests absolutely loved the look and feel of the Castle.

  The dreamiest location and 5* service

  We got married at Dundas in Aug'22 and it was a magical experience! From the moment we arrived at the venue, we knew it was truly a special location and we couldn't wait to get married there. The team at Dundas are true professionals, with incredible attention to detail who delivered a truly 5* experience from day 1. Everything was handled brilliantly on the day itself, giving us memories we will treasure forever. A huge shout out to Mahi, Louise and Katy!

  Five star venue, five star staff

  My husband and I wed here in July of 2022 and it was the experience of a lifetime. Our guests are still talking about it. Everything from the castle grounds to the beautiful bedrooms, to the incredible staff made the weekend unforgettable. Mahi and Morvern were GREAT people to work with and made the whole planning experience seamless. Highly highly recommend this venue if you are exploring others in the area - it is the best by FAR!
  
  My only caveat - if you are getting married here, please be wary of the catering company 'Heritage Portfolio'. Their food is incredible, but their execution on the day of the wedding was a complete failure followed by their staff (not Dundas') being less than attentive to the situation. Not a reason not to book this venue, but make sure you speak to the manager Adam (something I did not do) and confirm timings and meals ahead of time.

  Dream Wedding Venue

  My wife and I got married in Dundas Castle in June 2022. When we first went to visit Dundas, we fell in love with this stunning venue and knew we wanted our special day there. All of our guests commented on the exclusiveness of the venue and how it felt like being part of a fairytale. They were blown away by the beauty of the castle and its grounds.
  What made this a truly memorable experience for us was the in-house wedding coordinators. Suzi and Katy took our vision and made it so special, taking the stress away from us. Suzi and the team were attentive, professional and welcoming from the day we got there. Our suppliers were blown away by the service provided. We can’t thank them enough!
  I highly recommend Dundas as a venue, it truly was the best day of our lives, leaving us with the most amazing memories.

  5 star experience at Dundas Castle. Castle and staff absolutely amazing!

  I will never be able to properly articulate how amazing Dundas Castle and its staff is. My husband and I rented the castle for our 2 day wedding celebration this past May and it far exceeded expectations. Being from the USA, we had to make the difficult decision of picking a wedding venue based off of the pictures online. We both agreed Dundas was gorgeous in pictures and the fact that it is so close to the city and Edinburgh airport was a huge plus. It also slept all of our guests which was very important to us as we wanted to host our friends and family and make sure they were comfortable after flying overseas. When we arrived, I can say without hesitation that pictures do not do this place justice. Every single detail from the beautiful castle grounds to the immaculately decorated bedrooms was impeccable. Aside from that, the staff is top notch. Anything we or any of our guests needed, they made sure it was promptly taken care of. I personally worked closely with Louise, Katy and Jill and they were an absolute dream. Love them all so much!! If you are thinking about booking Dundas Castle for a wedding or event, don't hesitate!! Aside from saying "I DO", it was the best decision we made. Can't wait to rent out this very special place again some day!

  Fantastic wedding Venue!

  From the moment we first visited Dundas Castle, we fell in love with it and knew we’d found our wedding venue! We may be biased but it is the most gorgeous venue we’ve been to in Scotland. It was exactly what we were looking for, a Scottish castle yet intimate with a lovely family feel. Nothing was too much trouble for Morvern and latterly, our wedding coordinator, Mahi. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they were keen to share the load with us and help in any way they could. Mahi was with us the entire day and went above and beyond, keeping everything running to schedule and making sure everyone was catered for. We had the most fantastic day and all of our guests said it was a perfect venue with a lovely atmosphere. It will always be a very special place to us.

  Most incredible wedding venue

  Had the most incredible wedding at Dundas Castle last week. Molly who was in charge of coordinating the day was absolutely amazing and the whole team were on top of everything which meant I could just sit back and enjoy the day knowing that everything was under control. Nothing was too much hassle and everything ran like clockwork. The venue is the most beautiful venue anyone could ask for, our guests were so impressed. The auld keep is beautiful for ceremonies and the whole castle has so much to offer such as photos on the roof overlooking the bridges! Hollie liaised with me throughout the run up to the wedding helping put the itinerary together and being in touch with all our suppliers. I cannot thank the whole Dundas team enough and just absolutely love the venue and what it has to offer. Can not recommend it highly enough.

  The Most Incredible Day at Dundas Castle!

  We hired Dundas Castle for two nights for our wedding July 4-5, 2019. Hollie was excellent at the details and communication before the wedding. Genevieve and her team were top notch once we were at the castle! She made sure everything went smoothly and we cannot say enough good things about the amazing team and venue! All of our guests were in awe of the place and we had the best day ever. Thanks again Dundas for making sure we had the most incredible day at your stunning venue! Xx

  Perfect Venue for the Perfect Day

  Everything about Dundas is incredible. We got married on Hogmanay 2018 and it was such a special venue to hold our wedding at. We live abroad, so relied on my parents to visit it before paying our deposit and confirming our choice. Their reaction was so overwhelming we couldn't possibly have chosen anywhere else. We were a little apprehensive about not having seen it before we booked, but the excitement that all of our suppliers spoke about the castle with made us feel so much better, but certainly didn't prepare us for just how perfect it is.
  
  It difficult to find the words to express our thanks to the staff at Dundas. So many of our guests commented on how amazing they were, which is not something people would normally comment on after a wedding, but is testament to the level of service offered to everyone who attended our wedding. Our suppliers, many of whom were working in the venue for the first time, also commented on how well organised everything was and how great the staff were. Hollie, who helped us plan the wedding, was so warm and helpful throughout all of our communications, and responded to every email and question with the help and support we needed for every part of the wedding. While Rose, who was our operations manager for the day, went above and beyond to make sure everything ran incredibly smoothly throughout the day and that we had a wedding that exceeded our expectations.
  
  I honestly can't speak highly enough of everyone involved.
