Named one of the Best wedding venues in the UK by Harper's Bazaar
Really? One of the best venues in the UK? What’s so special? Maybe, we are a little biased, but we would say everything! See below for just a few highlights.
Achnagairn Castle is a five-star exclusive-use venue, set in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland, on a 30-acre estate. It is breathtaking as a wedding venue, particularly thanks to the castle's crowning glory - a magical, historic, vaulted ballroom.
The ballroom is always the centrepiece of weddings at Achnagairn: the aisle for you to walk down, the setting for the grand wedding breakfast, and the site of the dancing that goes on to the early hours. It truly lends itself perfectly to fairytale weddings, large or small.
See for yourself
Although show-rounds are starting to be possible again for couples considering Achnagairn for their big day, we know lots aren't able to make it to the castle for the moment. So, we have teamed up with My Scotland Wedding to create this fantastic video to give you a virtual show-round of the castle.
Explore the magical ballroom, gorgeous grounds, bedrooms and even some of the Mini Manors (further bedrooms on the estate) in this fantastic video. But, even My Scotland Wedding's wonderful skills and a sunny day can't quite compare to walking through the doors of the ballroom for the first time in person at Achnagairn... We hope we can show you in person again soon!
We are so happy we found you... What a perfect venue! All of our guests were raving about it and we couldn't have better memories of our big day
