St Mary's Full Description
Slumbered in the arms of a quiet Scottish Highland Glen, surrounded by towering mountains, enchanted woods and light dancing on the water, St. Mary's is the perfect sanctuary for a small home-made wedding. We're so proud to share our quirky converted church home with you (also a recording studio) to offer unconventional and intimate elopement ceremonies for gatherings of up to 15 guests, plus yourselves. We're all about slowing things down with that home from home feeling, offering you the perfect place to share your vows, unwind, embrace and celebrate.​ Musician and artist Jamie and Charlotte behind the magic offer complete flexibility to host your wedding ceremony in understated style and complete privacy, together with a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and environmentally friendly ethos. If it's just the two of you wishing to escape the pressure of family and friends, they will be more than happy to act as witnesses if required.

It was truly a perfect day in every way.
We found St Mary's & just knew it was the place for us. We wanted a really relaxed and special day & everything about our wedding exceeded our expectations. Charlotte & Jamie are exceptional people, with a beautiful home & Charlotte really went above & beyond to create an incredibly special space for us, with so many little touches that throughout the day we would all be discovering something new. The intimacy of St Mary's Space really is something else, & we felt comfortable to be ourselves!

It was truly a perfect day in every way.
Where can we start? We found St Mary's Wedding Space by chance on Instagram and just knew it was the place for us. We wanted a really relaxed and special day, and everything about our wedding exceeded our expectations. Charlotte and Jamie are exceptional people, with a beautiful home and Charlotte really went above and beyond to create an incredibly special space for us, with so many little touches that throughout the day we would all be discovering something new. The intimacy of St Mary's Space really is something else, and we felt comfortable to be ourselves and share precious moments from our day with our nearest and dearest. The communication throughout was amazing, Charlotte really helped us feel relaxed, she recommended an amazing photographer, hair and makeup artist and a celebrant that made our ceremony perfect for us. Alongside organising everything and making this experience completely stress free for us! Jamie cooked a beautiful meal for us and both him and Charlotte worked incredibly hard to make sure ourselves and our guests felt comfortable and that everyone's needs were catered for (which wasn't an easy task so thank you!!). Words will never convey how special getting married in St Mary's Space really is and how thankful we are to Charlotte and Jamie for sharing their beautiful part of the world with us. It was truly a perfect day in every way. Thank you so much Charlotte and Jamie, we are forever grateful ❤️

A wonderful experience at St. Mary's Wedding Space
I had the immense pleasure of organizing an elopement here for one of my married couples & it was all unforgettable. Charlotte and Jamie are wonderful people, hospitable, kind-hearted, helpful, creative & passionate about their work. Charlotte created a breath taking dinner table, Jamie is an exceptional chef, everything was delicious, genuine & beautifully plated. Their attention to detail was fundamental to making Serena and Andrea's wedding so perfect & enchanting. They are truly special.

A dream come true.
We left Italy with the idea of ​​celebrating our wedding in total harmony with nature and the spirituality that only these magical places transmit. Charlotte and Jamie are two incredible people: they were able to accommodate our every request, they listened to us, supported us and encouraged us. From the first meeting there was a beautiful harmony between us and we could never have hoped to find a better location than this. Every little detail was exactly perfect. We felt like at home! Not to mention Jamie's cooking: spectacular!! Our guests can't stop talking about it! We could summarize the experience we had at St. Mary's Wedding Space with just one sentence: a dream come true. We wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful place to all those who are looking for a location immersed in the magical nature of the Scottish highlands. Shall we do it again? :) Serena & Andrea xx
