Dundas Castle wedding venue, steeped in history, offers wedding couples a place that won’t cease to amaze and delight. Located just 8 miles from the Scottish Capital at South Queensferry, Edinburgh, EH30 9SP, Dundas Castle is sublimely peaceful sat amongst over four hundred acres of fine, mature parkland.

We’ve photographed and filmed many Dundas Castle weddings over the years, always coming away thinking just how special and unique this exquisite wedding venue is.

As you enter the grounds and begin your journey down the long, impressive driveway, you will know what an incredible venue awaits. You spy the magnificent castle, with its weathered stone and grand stepped entrance, and you will feel like you are stepping back in time and have become a member of the nobility.

With its exclusive-use policy, your wish is their command. Dundas Castle’s attentive Wedding Coordinators are ready to transform your event into a magnificent showcase of style, romance and beauty!

Dundas Castle offers a peaceful yet grand 5-star estate that blends requests for intimacy and splendour with perfect aplomb. You are guaranteed a warm, historical feel matched only with contemporary luxury.

Options abound when it comes to weddings at Dundas Castle, depending on the size of your wedding guest list and the feel you are seeking.

 

The Auld Keep

The Auld Keep allows guests to feel truly at one with the historical heart of this venue. The staircase within the Auld Keep is reminiscent of fairy tales and leads you to the Great Hall. The Stag Chamber within the Auld Keep can accommodate 24 for a candlelit ceremony, complete with authentic armour. Continue up the winding staircase and you emerge on the roof of the Auld Keep, giving you a staggering vista and backdrop for the most impressive wedding photographs, with clear views across to Edinburgh and the three bridges which cross the River Forth.

 

The Great Hall

The Great Hall, located within The Auld Keep, offers the largest interior wedding ceremony room. The Auld Keep can accommodate 110 for a ceremony. This impressive historical room is dramatic, with its vaulted ceiling and original brickwork. The Great Hall is, without a doubt, a truly romantic wedding location. At night, the Great Hall can be transformed into a dance area for under 75 guests, giving you all the options to unwind and have fun in an impressive setting.

 

Main Hall and Staircase

The Main Hall and Staircase are the perfect settings for post-ceremony drinks and canapés. Newly-weds make their way down the grand staircase, led by a Pipe Major and the thrilling skirl of bagpipes. What an exciting way to make your grand entrance in front of family and guests! The Main Hall is a great place to cut your wedding cake. Be sure to make the most of this photo opportunity by cutting your cake with Dundas’ antique sword! Smaller weddings can also take advantage of the Main Hall as the perfect setting for your evening reception.

 

The Croquet Room

The Croquet Room offers medium-sized wedding parties the perfect-sized venue for approximately 80 guests, with a classic and elegant feel. Situated in the Main Castle, the Croquet Room allows you to dine under an impressive chandelier. Feeling cosy with the open fire, yet with plenty of natural light, this room is a photographer’s dream. Your reception photos will look truly stunning when taken in the Croquet Room.

 

The Pavilion

The Pavilion allows guests of Dundas Castle to blend the outdoors with the interior of the venue, through a contemporary striking marquee. The Pavilion is another unique and dramatic option seating up to 180. At night, romance and enchantment abound as the Pavilion marquee ceiling is lit up with fairy lights and the sides twinkle with LED lighting that can be selected to choose your theme. The atmosphere is fantastic.

 

Gardens

Photos around the gardens of Dundas Castle are essential, weather-permitting. From manicured lawns to mature trees, loch views to intricate stone and ironwork, the backdrops are endless.

 

Drawing Room and Library

Inclement weather usually means indoor photography. Dundas Castle’s Drawing Room and Library are the perfect settings for newly-wed and family photos.

 

Bedrooms – Main Castle

Continuing with your exclusive use of the castle, you can make use of the luxury overnight accommodation. Dundas Castle offers a wonderful range of accommodation for you and your guests.

In the Main Castle, there are multiple spacious bedrooms, all offering the ideal setting to get ready for the wedding and a comfortable bed to come back to after an evening of dancing and celebration.

The accommodation consists of a range of double and twin rooms. Being light and airy, they offer a perfect place to get ready and enjoy some candid photos of your preparations. Each room has been individually designed and styled with modern, yet classic, luxury in mind. Spoil your guests with crisp, fresh linens, luxury toiletries and even complimentary whisky.

 

Courtyard Cottage and Stables

Adjacent to the Main Castle, the Courtyard Cottage and Stables offers spacious bedrooms and living areas, your own home from home.

 

The Boathouse

The Boathouse by the loch is a romantic getaway within the estate of the castle. This spectacular stand-alone accommodation gives newly-weds peace in a naturally stunning environment. Cosy, with beautiful views, it makes the perfect place for your first night as a married couple.

The Billiards Room

The Billiards Room offers a place to chat, drink and be merry before or during the ceremony. The wood-panelling and full-sized snooker table start the day off on the right foot: A chance to calm nerves and relax before a busy day.

 

The beauty of a Dundas Castle wedding and its exclusivity means you can choose from a vast range of options to enjoy on the estate. From a gentle game of croquet, through to the high-octane fun of off-roading, there’ll be something to make your wedding truly unique. The Wedding Coordinators are keen to ensure that you get the very best out of the castle, making your wedding both memorable and unique.

You and your guests will be in awe of the culinary delights on offer. The cuisine is truly 5-star dining with inspiration taken from Scottish history as well as the heritage and opulence of the castle.

Serafina and Kris – Dundas CastleWe can’t praise you enough for your service and would not hesitate to recommend you

Jonathon was a pleasure to deal with, he helped us out to design and supply our wedding album as the photographer we had chosen on our wedding day had gone into bankruptcy and could no longer provide us with an album. Jonathon was great and happy to help when a lot of photographers were unable to meet our request. Despite our problems, Jonathon made us feel as if he had been part of our day from the very beginning and had we known him previously we would have selected him for our big day. Highly recommended photographer, designed our album perfectly, very easy to deal with and a great personality! We absolutely love our album which was to a very high standard, we can’t praise you enough for your service and would not hesitate to recommend you. Thanks again!
