**FULLY BOOKED FOR 2024**
Hosting just 12 weddings a year (from March to October) ensures that we give you our full attention, and keeps our venue more special than anywhere else in Scotland. Murthly Castle, the Chapel of St. Anthony the Eremite, the Douglas fir woodland, and the walled garden are exclusively yours, not only on your wedding day but also during the set-up period. You have complete freedom of choice when it comes to suppliers, meaning that you can create a wedding day entirely to your taste.
We can host religious, humanist and civil wedding ceremonies in a variety of indoor and outdoor settings. The chapel interior often draws gasps of admiration from first-time visitors, while some couples choose to get married in our truly spectacular Douglas fir avenue. Receptions can take place in the castle or the extensive walled garden.
Murthly Castle is a private family home, so there are never any other events or visitors to distract us from your wedding. Relax in the knowledge that you have plenty of time to set up for your big day, with our help and advice at hand whenever you need it.

- LLyndsey & Jamie17/10/2025The most special day at the most special venue The most special day at the most special venueMurthly Castle was the most perfect wedding venue, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. The church at Murthly was incredible—such a beautiful and atmospheric setting for our ceremony. The castle grounds looked absolutely stunning, immaculately maintained, and provided the perfect backdrop for the marquee, which Thomas oversaw with great care. The marquee looked fantastic on the day and blended beautifully into the setting. From the very beginning, Thomas was a pleasure to work with. He welcomed us for multiple visits with family and friends in the lead-up, and he shared a list of recommended suppliers who knew the venue well—something that made the day run seamlessly as everyone worked together smoothly. He was also a great source of advice at the rehearsal and the day before the wedding, and on the day itself he was ever-present to make sure everything ran like clockwork. Even the car parking team were brilliantly organised. Thomas also built a genuine rapport with us, our families, and the groomsmen, which made the day feel even more personal. After the wedding he kindly shared a short video he had filmed, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the day from his perspective—a thoughtful touch we really appreciated. Murthly Castle was already a place of family connection for us, but our wedding there, with Thomas’s guidance and support, has made it truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend it more highly.Murthly Castle was the most perfect wedding venue, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

- SSean & Allison25/08/2025A magnificent venue for a magical dayA magnificent venue for a magical dayIf it is a perfect venue for your dream day then Murthly Castle truly delivers. Set in the beautiful grounds of Murthly Estate in Perthshire, our expectations of the venue turned out to be way more that we imagined, and are still in complete awe of the of the whole experience. From our initial meetings to the big day itself, the process in dealing with the staff at Murthly went with great ease, and could not have been accommodated any better. We must give a special thank you to Thomas for accommodating us right from the beginning, and helping us to make our day the amazing success it was. Our day began by exchanging our vows in the estate’s private chapel which is one of the most beautiful we have even seen. Our drinks reception and main meal were held in the castle itself within its grand & historic rooms. For the evening, we decided on a large marquee in the castle grounds which set the scene for such a tranquil and beautiful end what was wonderful, and truly memorable day. If you are on the fence as to which venue to choose, just go see Murthly as we did and you will not be disappointed. Thank you, Murthly Estate, and all who helped.

- MMichael & Mireille06/06/2024"Feels like a film set""Feels like a film set"We had an incredible wedding at Murthly Estate for 120 of our friends and family. I may be slightly biased, but I think this is the best wedding venue in the UK. All of our guests spent the day saying how amazing the location was, and they weren't wrong. As you drive up the very long drive lined by incredibly tall trees, you realise this is a truly special place. With deer grazing on the side of the track and oystercatchers hopping on walls, it’s totally surrounded by nature. What you find at the end of the drive is an awe-inspiring venue that leaves you wanting to have three weddings so that you can use all the amazing settings. From the great rooms of the castle, the absolutely stunning chapel, the Douglas fir wood, and the beautiful walled garden, you are absolutely spoilt for choice. If the venue couldn't get any better, you meet Thomas, whose laid-back attitude automatically puts you at ease and makes you feel like the estate is yours for a few days. Nothing was ever too much and he was always on hand if you needed him, even lending me his sgian dubh when I left mine at home. One thing to note is that this is a totally dry hire venue, so you will have to bring in everything including the kitchen sink (especially if you’re having a marquee wedding), but that little bit of extra effort enables you to tailor the whole day to be your own. It's also important to note that although Thomas has recommended suppliers, he doesn't put you under any pressure to use them, although I would suggest seriously considering them because some of our "off piste" hires didn't work out as well as the recommended ones. Ultimately, if you want a day that everyone will remember for years to come, you should definitely have your wedding at Murthly Estate.We had an incredible wedding at Murthly Estate for 120 of our friends and family.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
We had a Scottish - Brazilian wedding not long ago. The couple got married in the Douglas fir woodland avenue on a beautiful summer's day, and all the Brazilian men wore kilts. The guests said it was like being at Downton Abbey!
What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Don't buy or organise everything that bridal magazines tell you to - keep it simple and remember that the real focus of the day is the wedding ceremony itself.
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
A Hobbit themed wedding, with nearly all the music played being from the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films, and a hand-engraved sign at the marquee reading 'No Admittance except on party business'.
Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.
Private, spacious, tranquil, relaxing, happy!
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Our wedding parties love being photographed on the double sweep of stairs in front of the castle. Couples love being photographed in the yew avenue, with the sun slanting through the trees.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
Yes, but we don't tell , because celebrities have a right to privacy at a private party.
What’s your favourite canapé?
I don't get to eat the canapés - they're for the wedding guests!
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
These days, going to bed!
What is your venue's most unique feature?
The chapel is without equal, as is the designed landscape with its very tall, otherwordly trees.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
It's a properly private venue, run in a very personal way, and couples can customise nearly aspect of their day. That's what attracts people to get married here.
