With its heritage, beauty, and attention to detail, Atholl Palace Hotel is one of the most enchanting castle wedding venues in Scotland – the perfect place to begin your forever.
Atholl Palace is a true “Castle Wedding” venue with its 19th-century Victorian architecture, turreted suites, grand lounges, and sweeping gardens, offering all the romance of a Scottish castle alongside dedicated wedding packages and 4 star luxury.
If you're planning a spring wedding or a summer wedding, you may wish to hold your ceremony in the beautiful gardens. As the Scottish weather is very unpredictable ‘Plan A’ will always be hosting the ceremony indoors in the elegant Bow Lounge. However, if there are two consecutive days of good weather and if the weather is fine and dry on the morning of your wedding day, the Atholl Palace Hotel team can arrange the ceremony outside on our front lawn near the fountain, at no extra cost. Due to the intensive labour of setting up, the General Manager’s decision on the day is final.
To arrange private access for a wedding at The Atholl Palace Hotel, you must contact our wedding and events team directly to discuss your specific needs. We offer a range of function suites and event spaces that can be configured to provide private access and secure a dedicated area for your wedding, but specific arrangements depend on your guest numbers and desired atmosphere.
Yes, we are delighted to incorporate traditional Scottish elements such as handfasting into your wedding ceremony. Our team can help guide you in blending these timeless traditions with your own personal touches, ensuring your day feels both authentic and unique.
