Weddings at Glamis Castle
Nestled in the heart of the Angus countryside, the iconic Glamis Castle provides both a romantic and atmospheric setting for your wedding day. With its soaring turrets, grand interior and beautifully landscaped gardens, Glamis Castle is a venue that is sure to leave a lasting impression on you and your guests.
As the ancestral home of the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne, the castle is steeped in over 650 years of history, adding depth and character to your special day. Glamis Castle offers a wide variety of spaces to suit different wedding styles and sizes. The 16th Century Chambers or Medieval Crypt both provide an atmospheric setting for intimate gatherings, while larger receptions can be hosted in either the Victorian Dining Room or 17th Century Drawing Room.
Outside, the gardens and grounds offer a stunning backdrop for ceremonies, particularly during the warmer months when the landscape is in full bloom. With the castle as a dramatic backdrop, our front lawn offers the ideal setting for couples who wish to organise their own wedding marquee. This flexible option can accommodate up to 200 guests, providing the freedom to create a bespoke large celebration at a Scottish castle.
With acres of open grounds, Strathmore Estates offers a variety of secluded outdoor locations for photographs and the opportunity to host more informal, nature-inspired “wild” weddings. Options include the Captain’s Pond, tranquil riverside locations and expansive fields.
Another highlight of a Glamis Castle wedding is the flexibility to personalise your day. The experienced events team works closely with couples to bring their ideas to life, ensuring that every detail reflects their unique style and preferences. From bespoke décor to tailored menus, each wedding is thoughtfully curated to create a memorable experience. This attention to detail allows couples to relax and fully enjoy their celebration, knowing everything is in expert hands.
For guests, attending a wedding at Glamis Castle is an unforgettable experience in itself. The journey to the castle, the grandeur of the setting, and the sense of occasion come together to create a day that feels extraordinary. Ultimately, choosing Glamis Castle as your wedding venue means embracing romance, history, and natural beauty in equal measure.
Prices start from £125 per person inclusive of a traditional piper’s welcome, room hire, three course meal and a half bottle of wine per person. Based on 35 people experiencing a wedding in the 16th Century Chambers.
