Description
Description
Whether you would like a religious, humanist or civil ceremony, there are a number of beautifully romantic locations at Dundas Castle where you can exchange your vows. The Great Hall within the medieval Auld Keep is the most popular location for ceremonies; the Hall with its vaulted ceiling and ancient stonework add to the atmosphere of romance. The elegant Croquet Room provides an altogether different ambience for a wedding ceremony; the impressive open fire, crystal chandelier and outlook across the sweeping lawns of the Estate make this room popular for a more intimate wedding. Outdoor wedding ceremonies are becoming increasingly popular, and with a choice of settings, there is no reason why you can’t say ‘I do’ in a beautifully serene garden location on the Dundas Estate, or in the charming Courtyard. Once the formality of the ceremony is over and the celebrations commence, whether you want an intimate candlelit feast for close family and friends in Stag Chamber, a more formal wedding breakfast in the elegant Croquet Room or a larger dining celebration with dancing into the night for up to 200 people in the Pavilion, Dundas provides options to suit all. The front of the Castle is the perfect backdrop for a grand finale, with a marching Scottish pipe band and fireworks lighting up the night sky. Our expert team will guide you through the planning of your wedding, and make recommendations based on their experience, as to which suppliers would work best with you to make your dream wedding a reality. During your wedding, our skilled team will be discretely by your side throughout the day to ensure that each and every moment is enjoyable, seamless and to plan. Many couples take full advantage of Dundas Castle being a destination for their wedding; with 17 delightful bedrooms, a wedding is an ideal opportunity to extend the celebration for 2, 3 or more nights. However long you decide to celebrate with friends and family, your memories will be treasured always.
For bookings that take place from 24th July 2026, bedroom rates will include the Edinburgh Visitor Levy.

- SStephanie11/09/2025Just incredibleJust incredibleWe looked at so many venues when deciding where to get married and we just kept coming back to Dundas Castle. To sum it up, a day at Dundas is truly like a day out of a fairytale! The venue is absolutely stunning in every way from the moment you drive in, and we are so happy we chose to get married there. As soon as you arrive, the staff are helpful and efficient and make you feel like the castle is your home. Every room is decorated so beautifully and uniquely by Lady Lydia. Our guests couldn’t say enough great things about the entire place and experience. We booked the venue for two days to have more time with our guests and it was everything we could have hoped for and more. The wedding day went flawlessly because everyone there was so organized. All the food on both days from Heritage Portfolio was amazing with many compliments from our guests (huge thank you to the team with special mention to Morven, John, Emma for being so great!). Special shoutout to Morvern and Aileen and Jill for helping us plan such a beautiful day as well as our late night bar manager, Jen! And lastly, a big thank you to Sinead for going above and beyond to help us with anything and everything during our stay and on the day of the wedding. Our experience at Dundas Castle was incredible and so special. You will have zero regrets choosing them as your venue!

- SShabnam & Navid27/07/2025Words can not describe how magical our day Words can not describe how magical our dayWe recently had our wedding at Dundas Castle and it was truly the most magical day of our lives. From start to finish, everything was absolutely seamless — and that’s entirely down to the stunning venue and the phenomenal team behind it. A special thank you to Aileen, our wedding coordinator at Dundas, who was a calm and reassuring presence throughout the entire journey. Her warmth, patience, and eye for detail made such a difference — we genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. On the day itself, everything flowed beautifully and it was clear just how much care and preparation had gone into it all. We also want to give thanks to Morven, John, and Emma from Heritage Portfolio who looked after the catering. Not only was the food exquisite, but they went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcomed and looked after. Their professionalism, warmth, and friendly nature helped create such a relaxed and joyful atmosphere. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the castle was and how smoothly the day ran — and we’ll forever remember it as the happiest day of our lives.

- SSarah27/05/2025Fairytale Wedding VenueFairytale Wedding VenueWe had the best wedding day we possible could have at Dundas Castle in April 2025. From not long after we got engaged, we knew the venue was for us. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we loved that our ceremony, drinks reception and evening reception could all be held in different parts of the castle/grounds, making the day flow really nicely for our guests. There is so much history surrounding the castle and it's the perfect fairytale wedding venue. We just wanted to say the biggest thank you ever to you guys! We had the best day of our lives on Saturday and we absolutely couldn’t have done it without you. Our day ran so smoothly, there were no hiccups and that's all thanks to incredible team led by Sinead who went above and beyond. It made the day so much more enjoyable for all of us knowing that everyone was taken care of. We always felt included but never bothered in the decision making on the day! I LOVED that! All of our guests commented on how helpful the staff were and how it runs like a well-oiled machine. Offering a room for our friend who is breast feeding was such a lovely touch and much appreciated. It was the little touches we loved like our room being cleaned before our private moment, our family photos and guest book being so neatly displayed and moved down to the pavilion, or our stationery being so neatly packed up for us leaving with absolutely nothing for us to do. The accommodation is stunning and I felt like a proper princess that night. So thank you! Jill was absolutely amazing in her responses to emails, organisation, keeping us updated and being a familiar friendly face. The whole team are just fantastic. We would highly recommend Dundas Castle as a venue to all of our friends - for us it cannot be matched!We had the best wedding day we possible could have at Dundas Castle in April 2025.

- ZZoë & Billy x03/12/2024My dreams brought to life! My dreams brought to life!Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined how perfect the staff at Dundas Castle and Heritage Portfolio would have made our wedding weekend! It was perfect from start to finish.. the organisation and execution was incredible throughout our New Years Eve wedding weekend. We arrived the day before the wedding, as did our guests, being piped in by Roddy, who also hosted our whiskey tasting, before we had an incredible meal and drinks. The wedding day started with archery, axe throwing and clay pigeon shooting for our guests after a lovely cooked breakfast! The rest of the day flew by in a blur of incredible food and celebrations before ending with fireworks and a Pipe Band at midnight. We have missed all of the staff we worked with in the couple of years of planning in the lead up to the wedding, and would recommend Dundas Castle to any and all couples looking for their dream venue! John from Heritage Portfolio was such a huge part of our weekend and hand on heart, my wedding weekend wouldn’t have been the same without him! Our guests loved him, and he made everything perfect and then some!

Only deviation to an absolutely five star review is…if you are going to operate a cashless bar, you have to improve your WiFi! Having guests waiting for 20 minutes to buy a drink is unacceptable I’m afraid.
