Description
Description
Megginch Castle has been the family home of the Drummond family since 1660. Catherine and Giles were married here themselves and have decided to host about 10-12 weddings each year meaning that you too can become part of this castle's fascinating history. The Castle is surrounded by ancient gardens, orchards and parkland and the ballroom itself overlooks an 18th century cobbled courtyard to one side and the formal Victorian gardens to the other. Your wedding ceremony can either be outside next to the historic garden ponds or holly avenue or inside anywhere from the small rustic chapel out in the woods to the grandeur of the castle drawing room. But as the sun goes down everything changes! With the Castle’s west façade and courtyard glowing gently in the background, Let the party begin! Turn on the music, programmable LED lighting, and truly celebrate your most special day! But that's not the end of the celebrations at a wedding at Megginch Castle. As well as the bridal suite being included in your package we also encourage you to come back the next day for a brunch with as many family and friends as you like. Why not try somewhere new? Maybe out in the orchard or in the walled garden overlooking the tea plantain or herb garden. And what about a castle tour for those interested to find out more about the history of this unique setting and what it's really like to live in a 15th century castle in the 21st century. We may also have some other rooms in the castle available for the bridal party and normally help your other guests find local accommodation with some of our nearby partners (all within 10-15 minutes). We can also help on transportation throughout the weekend with our local taxis and bus companies. Please contact us if you would like your wedding ceremony to become part of the history of this magical Castle of Dreams.

- CChloe and Jamie15/11/2024The most special day 🫶🏻The most special day 🫶🏻This was the most perfect venue. It is mix of modern and traditional, perfect for us as a couple. We had our ceremony in the ballroom, from the moment i walked into that room i had a vision for our ceremony. I imagined the drapes hanging and flowers and the top and it all came together perfectly! The bridal suite is the perfect getting ready space, me and my bridesmaids had great fun getting ready there, plenty space! Giles and Catherine are so lovely, nothing was a problem to them and they were so accommodating with all our ideas. Jan the wedding coordinator is amazing, she knows her stuff! Our day ran so smooth! All our guests loved the castle. there’s so many places to get gorgeous pictures to with all the beautiful gardens and the castle itself is stunning. We had a brunch in the conservatory the next day which was a perfect way to keep the celebrations going. Thank you so much to giles and catherine for letting us have the most special day on your beautiful home highly recommend this venue, once you see it you will love it!

- SShanlan and Fraser01/08/2024Lovely castle with lovely people - April 2024Lovely castle with lovely people - April 2024The team at Megginch Castle make you feel like you're apart of their family throughout the whole planning process and the day of the wedding. We organised our wedding from Australia through video calls, emails, tours by Fraser's family and we were fortunate enough to have a Christmas trip to Scotland where we got to visit in person. One thing that I really appreciated was when Fraser's grandparents requested to visit the castle prior to the day, Giles and Catherine happily took them on a full tour. They were so happy to see the place we would be getting married, and both agreed that it was lovely. Unfortunately, Fraser's grandmother passed away and his grandad became ill before the wedding so could not attend. It was nice to know that they had at least had the chance to see the castle in person. In the days leading to the wedding the team were great to work with. Jan is great at calming your nerves, she answered all my questions before I even asked them. She even laughed at my Dad's terrible jokes. Catherine and Giles add a touch of magic to all interactions. For our final meeting we took my 8 yr old daughter, Fraser's 9 yr old niece and my two parents from Australia. My parents absolutely loved hearing about the history of the castle and the two young girls were delighted when Catherine informed them that the 'easter bunny' had left eggs all over the bridal suite for them to find. It was such a sweet touch and I am sure they will always remember doing an easter egg hunt in a castle. I absolutely loved staying in the bridal suite with my bridal party. We were able to have a few drinks out by the fire pit to relax. The day of the wedding ran perfectly. I had chosen to use the chapel as my ceremony space. It is absolutely gorgeous! Our humanist commented on how unique it was. It is small but we were able to fit 46 guests in there. The soft lighting from the candles and the intimate size made it feel so special. The conservatory was lovely to have our drinks reception before moving into the ballroom for our meal and party.

- KKaela and Adam01/02/2024"felt like interacting with a distant relative" "felt like interacting with a distant relative"We couldn't have chosen a better place to get married. We looked at various different venues but, in the end, what set Megginch Castle apart from everywhere else we saw was the warmth and hospitality received from Catherine and Giles. Rather than feeling at all like interacting with a corporate entity with employees, the entire process felt like interacting with a distant relative who genuinely wanted to welcome you into their home and make sure that you had the best possible time.

- AAndy and Louise01/02/2024Such a unique setting like no other in PerthshireSuch a unique setting like no other in PerthshireWe booked after a few days of visiting as it is such a unique setting like no other in Perthshire. Included is use of the grounds for the weekend and an en-suite apartment for 2 nights in the castle. This was so helpful as there is not any back to back weddings which gives you the exclusive use of the castle and grounds for the weekend without being pushed out so the next wedding can take place.

- CCaitlin and Mike01/02/2024" you allowed us to have the day we wanted.."" you allowed us to have the day we wanted.."We chose Megginch Castle as our preferred venue because of the stunning castle and grounds but also because of the warm welcome we felt from you and your family. The fact you and Catherine were open minded and allowed us to have the day we wanted, made it so easy to organise and enjoy. Jan's coordination experience really proved it's worth on the day itself. Her calm demeaner put Caitlin and I at ease so we did not have to worry about things at all and all made our day perfect.

What part of your business are you most proud of?
I think probably the way we have mixed the old with the new... Whilst the castle is from the 15th century and the gothic courtyard has some of the first ever bricks used in Scotland, we have installed the very latest LED lighting technology in the ballroom and the ladies' loo takes luxury to a new level!
