Dornoch Castle Hotel Wedding

Dornoch Castle Hotel Wedding, view this spectacular wedding venue with stunning scenery which is the perfect wedding venue.

Spectacular scenery, wonderful hospitality and an ancient 15th century Castle. What more could you ask for when planning your wedding?

This will be one of the most important decisions of your life and you want it exactly as in your dreams. This is why Dornoch Castle provides an experienced Co~ordinator to reassure you and help to make your dreams come true.

Dornoch is recognized as one of the driest areas in the UK (comparable with the south east of England) and we at the Castle love to use our beautiful walled gardens whenever we can. This is also very helpful when our bridal party is piped over to the Cathedral for the ceremony.
There are excellent photographic opportunities in our Gardens, in front of the fires and on the beach.

Our wedding package is completely flexible and we can work on any ideas that our couples may have. (www.dornochcastlehotel.com). 2 to 150 ~ all are welcome.

We can cater for up to 90 persons in our Garden Restaurant, which opens out directly into our pretty walled gardens. For larger weddings (up to 150), we can attach a marquee directly on to this room to create a very large and interesting area.

For small intimate gatherings (up to 20 max) we have our Terrace Lounge and this room is available for small ceremonies of up to 30 also.
Our gardens have been used frequently for ceremonies, both religious and non-religious.
The Castle does not have a civil licence, but the beautiful Cathedral
(www.dornoch-cathedral.com) and the local registry are but 1 minute’s pretty walk away.
