Barcaldine Castle Wedding Ceremony

Getting Married in Scotland is Easy With Barcaldine Castle

Barcaldine Castle is the perfect setting for small, intimate weddings and is firmly established as one of the foremost venues for the celebration of marriage on the West Coast of Scotland.

Have your castle wedding ceremony conducted in the Great Hall by the open log fire, or by the sundial in the garden, weather permitting.

It suits some couples to ‘slip away’ to the tranquility of Barcaldine Castle and marry quietly, enjoying a bottle of champagne by the fire and photo opportunities in the area followed by a party with friends and family at a later date.

The maximum number of guests we can seat for a wedding ceremony in the castle is 36.

Getting Married in Scotland – Visitors

Please note if you are coming to Scotland to be married and you are subject to immigration control, you should check with your local authorities as you may require a marriage visa – this is not something the local Registrar will require to see but on entering the UK you may be asked for this.

A Non-statutory Ceremony

Also available is a non-statutory ceremony or a re-dedication of marriage vows, this is an alternative to the legal wedding ceremony and allows the couple to get the best of both worlds

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I stayed in August when we were in Scotland for our wedding. This was the most beautiful and enchanting place. We took lively strolls to the lake, pet farm animals, totally relaxed and felt at peace. We only spent 2 nights but we will be back for a whole week to explore all of Oban and the islands. The service from Patrick and Cecilia was 5 star: Cecilia makes an amazing breakfast. This was my absolute favorite place we stayed in our 16 day trip to Scotland.

On Saturday the 11th, my husband and I tied the knot with 35 of our closest friends and family in the cosy great hall. I cannot put into words how fantastic our experience was. From the very first e-mail exchange back in January, Patrick and Caroline have made us feel so special and looked after. They treated us like royalty through-out our stay, welcomed all of our guests with open arms and pulled all the necessary strings to make sure our wedding ran flawlessly while we kicked back and relaxed. I can't fault anything. Food was amazing, rooms were gorgeous and always spotless, service was out of this world. Highly HIGHLY recommended Barcaldine castle to anyone who wants a cosy wedding, or even just a cosy getaway. We hope to make a tradition of coming back for our anniversaries. Cannot wait to see the place and all the gorgeous staff again!

Thank you!! // Laurie and Jacob 💗

The stairs are most definitely not for anyone with infirmity! Altogether an exceptional accommodation but you must have a vehicle as it’s not close to anything!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The castle is beyond beautiful and they made so many personal touches that made it feel luxurious but also comforting. Breakfast was delicious and the rooms were clean and cozy. Our stay there was a higher highlight of our trip to Scotland and we would 100% stay here again!
