Welcome to Rothes Glen — A Castle Wedding in the Heart of Speyside

Set amid the breathtaking rolling hillsides of Speyside, Rothes Glen offers a rare blend of secluded elegance and easy access—conveniently located between Inverness and Aberdeen, with a private helipad for added ease.

Where Regal Elegance Meets Highland Romance

Weddings at Rothes Glen are personal, intimate, and tailored to you. Our dedicated team curates elegant celebrations for up to 40 guests (with 28 guests able to stay overnight), including bespoke ceremonies, gourmet dining, and luxurious overnight stays.

The castle's grand entrance, mosaic-tiled floors, and richly decorated rooms offer a timeless, romantic backdrop for your special day.

A Year-Round Picture-Perfect Setting

From the Cairngorm Mountains to our century-old 'marriage trees' and two manicured gardens, Rothes Glen provides stunning photo opportunities in every season.

Ceremony and Drinks Reception

Choose between indoor grandeur or scenic outdoor vows. Guests are welcomed with Champagne or fine whisky, and your ceremony can be enhanced with live music throughout the castle.

We also recommend beautiful nearby churches for religious services.

Wedding Dining

Dine in style—indoors or alfresco on the terrace, by the lochan, or in the tranquil courtyard. Our chef will craft a fine dining experience using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, with additional meals available throughout your stay.

Evening Celebrations

As night falls, enjoy live music, dancing, and cosy lounges. Guests can explore the castle's inviting spaces—from the library to the snooker room. Consider ending the evening with a spectacular fireworks display.

Accommodation

Up to 28 guests can stay across 14 luxurious king-size bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, heritage charm, and modern comforts. We can also assist with local accommodation for additional guests.

Bridal Suite — Phoebe

A light-filled, spacious suite ideal for getting ready in comfort and style.
