Description

Whether you would like a religious, humanist or civil ceremony, there are a number of beautifully romantic locations at Dundas Castle where you can exchange your vows. The Great Hall within the medieval Auld Keep is the most popular location for ceremonies; the Hall with its vaulted ceiling and ancient stonework add to the atmosphere of romance. The elegant Croquet Room provides an altogether different ambience for a wedding ceremony; the impressive open fire, crystal chandelier and outlook across the sweeping lawns of the Estate make this room popular for a more intimate wedding. Outdoor wedding ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular, and with a choice of settings, there is no reason why you can’t say ‘I do’ in a beautifully serene garden location on the Dundas Estate, or in the charming Courtyard. Once the formality of the ceremony is over and the celebrations commence, whether you want an intimate candlelit feast for close family and friends in Stag Chamber, a more formal wedding breakfast in the elegant Croquet Room or a larger dining celebration with dancing into the night for up to 200 people in the Pavilion, Dundas provides options to suit all. The front of the Castle is the perfect backdrop for a grand finale, with a marching Scottish pipe band and fireworks lighting up the night sky. Our expert team will guide you through the planning of your wedding, and make recommendations based on their experience, as to which suppliers would work best with you to make your dream wedding a reality. During your wedding, our skilled team will be discretely by your side throughout the day to ensure that each and every moment is enjoyable, seamless and to plan. Many couples take full advantage of Dundas Castle being a destination for their wedding; with 17 delightful bedrooms, a wedding is an ideal opportunity to extend the celebration for 2, 3 or more nights. However long you decide to celebrate with friends and family, your memories will be treasured always.

Fairytale Wedding of our Dreams
From the day we first visited the castle, to planning and reaching our wedding day was absolutely flawless; we cannot thank you and the staff enough. We were made to feel so welcome, like royalty but most importantly we were made to feel comfortable and at home. We highly recommend Dundas Castle as a place to get married. If you are couple who dream of having the fairytale wedding then Dundas is the venue to say 'I do!'. With hand on heart, we can say that our wedding day was perfection.

My dreams brought to life!
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined how perfect the staff at Dundas Castle and Heritage Portfolio would have made our wedding weekend! It was perfect from start to finish.. the organisation and execution was incredible throughout our New Years Eve wedding weekend. We arrived the day before the wedding, as did our guests, being piped in by Roddy, who also hosted our whiskey tasting, before we had an incredible meal and drinks. The wedding day started with archery, axe throwing and clay pigeon shooting for our guests after a lovely cooked breakfast! The rest of the day flew by in a blur of incredible food and celebrations before ending with fireworks and a Pipe Band at midnight. We have missed all of the staff we worked with in the couple of years of planning in the lead up to the wedding, and would recommend Dundas Castle to any and all couples looking for their dream venue! John from Heritage Portfolio was such a huge part of our weekend and hand on heart, my wedding weekend wouldn’t have been the same without him! Our guests loved him, and he made everything perfect and then some!

A wonderful venue for a magical day!
Weather was kind, Dundas Castle looked amazing, staff were professional and helpful, food delicious…the most perfect day. Only deviation to an absolutely five star review is…if you are going to operate a cashless bar, you have to improve your WiFi! Having guests waiting for 20 minutes to buy a drink is unacceptable I’m afraid.

We had the most incredible time
From the moment we arrived to Dundas for the wedding celebrations, every detail was thought of, they worked seamlessly with all of our other fantastic suppliers, and they could not have been more kind to all of our guests. We had the most incredible time, could not recommend Dundas more, and can’t thank them enough for making this international wedding everything we hoped for!

We had the most perfect wedding day at Dundas Castle. Each member of the staff was so kind and extremely helpful leading up to and on our special day. The day of our wedding, we had absolutely zero stress, and we have the staff and all of the amazing vendors to thank for that. From start to finish, we would not change a single thing about our wedding day and will always be incredibly grateful we chose Dundas as our wedding venue. It is a day we will forever cherish.

It was truly the most magical week of our lives
It was truly the most magical week of our lives and we have the whole Dundas team to thank for taking us every step of the way so that we were able to have that magical time. Ourselves and our guests can’t stop raving about the castle and the whole week culminating in the wedding. Our guests are fondly calling it the wedding of the century (which I think might be hyperbole, but it certainly was perfection)!

The staff was exceptional and everything went so s
Travis and I are so pleased with how well everything was executed for our wedding at Dundas. From the moment we got onto the property we were blown away by the castle’s beauty. It is truly breathtaking and seeing the llamas and golden retrievers made it truly magical. Our wedding day could not have been more lovely, the auld keep is absolutely stunning and I feel so lucky to say I got to marry my best friend in a castle from the 1400s. The staff was exceptional and everything went so seamlessly.

The staff was exceptional and everything went so seamlessly. Everyone was so friendly and kind and I truly felt like a princess. Travis and I decided to have a destination micro-wedding after my struggle with breast cancer last year and it felt so amazing to be pampered and taken care of after such a difficult time. We were both blown away by our 2 day stay and our family and friends were as well. If I am ever in Scotland again I hope to visit this glorious place and relive some of the enchantment of the best day of our lives.
