Rising majestically from the clifftop, looking out towards the Isle of Arran, Culzean is an iconic Scottish castle set in a large country park, managed by the National Trust for Scotland.. Exchange your vows in one of the many unique settings – from the beautiful Orangery or Camellia House with its floor-to-ceiling windows, to the dramatic Robert Adam Oval Staircase, the elegant Round Room or the Viewing Platform overlooking the Ayrshire coastline... the choice is yours! Following your ceremony, enjoy a drinks reception outside on the Viewing Platform or inside the Armoury, before dining in the State Dining Room. Then end the day with a party to remember in the Fo’c’sle room. For larger celebrations, a marquee can be erected on the West Green lawn. Intimate or grand, weddings at Culzean are individually tailored to ensure your special day is like no other.

You get all of that at Culzean

Imagine a vast country park full of colourful gardens, decorative follies and woodland walks, in the middle of which is a castle with elegant interiors and a stunning spiral staircase. there's even a sandy beach with stunning views of Arran and Ailsa Craig. You get all of that at Culzean, along with flexible options for weddings up to 50 guests. As an added bonus, it belongs to the National Trust for Scotland, and all the income generated from weddings goes back into looking after the estate

Describe the best wedding that happened at Culzean Castle & Country Park?

This is a very hard one as I have quite a few but probably one destination wedding when everybody came from the States. The energy was amazing and everyone had such a memorable time. So much dancing, laughter and one of the best saxophonists I've heard. To see their enthusiasm and joy of being in such a grand castle and general appreciation of everything was very special.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
