A Highland Wedding Extravaganza at Achnagairn Castle
A destination wedding, but rather closer to home… Have you considered Scotland? From kilts to ceilidhs and hog roasts to Highlands Games, a Scottish wedding is the ultimate romantic decadence, particularly at Achnagairn Castle.
If you are based in Cheshire, a Scottish wedding may not have been top of the list of considerations, but with a castle that is entirely yours, a location steeped in romance and tradition, and a short flight from Manchester, what’s not to like?
Nestled on a private estate, in the Highlands just outside Inverness, you will find Achnagairn Castle. Achnagairn offers entirely bespoke weddings of two nights or more in a private, exclusive-use venue, to allow you the time to truly immerse yourselves and ensure one of the most important celebrations of your life is not over in a flash.
The venue is bursting with character. The castle’s magnificent ballroom is the centerpiece of weddings. Originally constructed in 1912 for the owner’s daughter’s 21st birthday party, this vaulted room now makes the perfect backdrop for tying the knot, for up to 180 guests.
If finding accommodation for all those guests seemed tricky, fear not! The estate can sleep up to 140. No need for late-night carriages and distant hotels – your wedding becomes a holiday for everyone, with 24 luxurious and entirely unique bedrooms in the castle and an additional 38 rooms in the estate’s ‘Mini Manors’.
The castle’s décor is just one reflection of its general ethos. They are all about flexibility and tailoring every detail to you. From the flowers to the feel; the menu choices to the music. They don’t do packages – everything is bespoke.
Achnagairn is just half an hour from Inverness Airport, an easy journey from Manchester, with often over six flights a day from across the UK. It is set in the Highlands, on the doorstep of some of the UK’s most dramatic and breathtaking scenery.
And since you are bringing all your guests up North, why not embrace some of the rich cultural traditions of this romantic location? Don a kilt? Have the families compete in Highland Games? Or simply enjoy some of the world’s best whiskies… Achnagairn hosts weddings of two nights or more throughout the seasons. Get in touch for a bespoke quote tailored to your wedding plans.
