Description
Etive Estate is an exclusive-use Highland wedding venue set within 350 acres of breathtaking Scottish countryside. Offering complete privacy, luxury accommodation, and total flexibility, we provide couples with the freedom to create a wedding that is entirely their own.
Unlike many venues, we don’t believe in fixed packages, rigid schedules, or one-size-fits-all weddings. Your celebration should reflect your personalities, traditions, and vision. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering, a grand marquee reception, or a relaxed wedding weekend with family and friends, you have the freedom to shape every detail around what matters most to you.
When you book Etive Estate, you enjoy exclusive use of the entire estate. There are no other weddings, hotel guests, or members of the public sharing the venue. From the moment you arrive until the moment you leave, the estate becomes your own private Highland retreat.
Surrounded by mountains, lochs, woodland, and open countryside, the estate offers a range of indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies and celebrations. Exchange vows overlooking the water, host drinks receptions with panoramic views, celebrate beneath a marquee, or create a cosy indoor setting if preferred. The choice is entirely yours.
Many couples choose Etive Estate because it allows them to transform their wedding from a single day into a multi-day experience. Welcome dinners, rehearsal gatherings, outdoor activities, post-wedding brunches, and relaxed evenings with loved ones can all form part of your celebration, creating memories that last far beyond the wedding day itself.
Accommodation is available throughout the estate, allowing guests to stay together and fully immerse themselves in the experience. Every property features its own private hot tub, providing the perfect place to relax and enjoy the spectacular Highland surroundings.
To enhance your stay, we can arrange a range of additional experiences. Private chefs are available for everything from informal family meals to luxury dining experiences, while chauffeur services can help ensure smooth transport throughout your celebrations. Guests can also enjoy traditional Highland pursuits, including angling and gamekeeping experiences within the estate.
The estate’s 350 acres provide endless opportunities to explore, unwind, and enjoy the natural beauty of the Highlands. From wildlife spotting and woodland walks to lochside views and peaceful moments surrounded by nature, Etive Estate offers a truly unique setting for your wedding.
At Etive Estate, you’re not choosing a package - you’re choosing freedom, exclusivity, and the opportunity to celebrate in one of Scotland’s most beautiful private estates. With complete privacy, luxury accommodation, private hot tubs, indoor and outdoor celebration spaces, and the flexibility to create a truly bespoke experience, Etive Estate is the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding celebration.

Pricing for Etive Estate
Do you offer wedding packages?
Not in the traditional sense. We prefer to create weddings around the couple rather than offering rigid “one size fits all” packages.
Whether you want an intimate elopement, a relaxed woodland celebration or a full weekend wedding, we’ll tailor the venue, accommodation and experience around your vision and budget.
Can ceremonies take place outdoors?
Yes. The estate offers multiple indoor and outdoor ceremony locations, each positioned to take advantage of the surrounding landscape and views.
Do you offer extended wedding stays?
Yes. Many couples choose to extend celebrations across multiple days, including welcome dinners, post-wedding breakfasts and private gatherings.
Do you provide wedding planning?
We can recommend trusted local suppliers, planners and creatives, while allowing couples the flexibility to shape the day around their own vision. Our team at the estate can also help with planning your wedding.
What is the cost?
Our dry hire weddings start from £15,000, which includes exclusive use of the estate grounds, main house and event spaces. From there, the wedding is entirely yours to create, allowing you to choose the suppliers, catering, entertainment and experiences that suit your vision and budget.
For couples looking for a fully managed wedding weekend with accommodation, catering, styling and additional services arranged by us, costs can exceed £50,000. Ultimately, the sky is the limit, and we can help create anything from a simple celebration to a luxury multi-day experience.
We understand that every situation is different. Last-minute ceremonies and exceptional circumstances may be eligible for reduced rates, subject to availability.
