Ever dreamed of getting married in a Scottish castle? (Let’s face it, who hasn’t?)
If so, Dundas Castle has plenty to set pulses and imagination racing.
Just outside Edinburgh, Dundas Castle is one of Scotland’s most beautiful and historic wedding venues. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and packed with character, it offers an unforgettable setting for a truly spectacular wedding day. It’s one of our favourite wedding venues anywhere, and we’re delighted to be one of Dundas Castle’s recommended suppliers.
Dundas Castle offers a wonderful variety of options for your ceremony. Couples can exchange vows inside the medieval Auld Keep, or choose an outdoor ceremony in the castle’s stunning courtyard. Combined with the warm, professional Dundas team, it’s a venue that delivers both atmosphere and seamless organisation.
Many Dundas Castle brides choose to get ready in the elegant Winter Bedroom. With beautiful natural light and classic furnishings, it’s a photographer’s dream – the perfect space to capture relaxed preparations and those quiet, emotional moments before the ceremony.
Wedding ceremonies can be held in the Auld Keep, which accommodates up to 110 guests. A stone staircase leads to the magnificent Great Hall, creating an incredibly romantic and atmospheric setting for saying “I do”.
After the ceremony, couples can enjoy photographs on the roof of the tower, with panoramic views across the Forth and the surrounding countryside. The castle’s extensive gardens and grounds offer countless stunning backdrops for relaxed portraits throughout the day.
Guests can enjoy drinks and cake cutting in the Front Hall, Library and Drawing Room, all of which provide elegant spaces filled with character.
Smaller weddings can opt to have the wedding breakfast in the Croquet Room. This holds up to sixty guests for an intimate dinner.
Larger weddings can hold their wedding breakfast and evening reception in the Pavilion. This is a permanent marquee structure set in the grounds of the castle. We’ve loved photographing the creative transformations of this space over the years.
The castle grounds are also a fantastic location for capturing evening portraits, whether in fading summer light or Scottish mist!
I highly recommend getting in touch with the friendly team at Dundas Castle to arrange a visit.
