Take these tips that your Scottish country marriage turns out perfect:

1.  Visit the area first. If you know somebody who resides in Scotland, you can ask them about the area around them and which locations are best. You can go browsing and have a quick look at some of the locale selections when it comes down to Scottish marriages and select some that you like. If you’re not familiar with the location, ensure that you schedule a weekend to go to Scotland to have a look at the locales available for marriages.
    
2. Consider a castle marriage. What can be more romantic than a marriage in a Scottish castle? There are castles in Scotland that can be utilised for this reason. This is the final romantic marriage, though not cheap. But as your marriage is a once in an entire life event, hopefully, this is definitely worth the cost. You may feel like royalty if you host your Scottish marriage in a castle.
    
3. Plan the civil rite. You can debate church marriages with church officers in Scotland, but most churches will marry those who are members of the parish. If you know someone that is an affiliate of a Scottish church, for example a relative, you can ask them to help with this matter. You can plan a civil rite nonetheless, and just plan a meeting for pals and family in the Scottish country.
    
4. Consider Scottish music and dancing. You’ll want to make sure you hire Scottish musicians who can play authentic tunes for both you and your guests during your Scottish wedding. You can even need to hire some dancers to amuse with conventional Highland dances. Make certain that you incorporate as much about the Scottish country into your marriage as practicable including the music.
    
5. Serve conventional Scottish foods. Ensure that you serve a normal Scottish fare at your marriage dinner. If you’re having a dinner, you’ll be wanting to plan the menu out with the caterer or the venue planner. If you’re just having canaps and cocktails, you can still add a little bit of Scottish fare to the mix.

Remember to make your Scottish wedding as authentic as practicable. If you don’t live in Scotland and plan on a party crammed with pals and family for your Scottish wedding, it is your task to look after their overnite arrangements. You must select a locale that’s close to an inn or offers guest rooms for people that are attending the marriage party. Plenty of the Scottish country estates and castles that offer marriage packages feature rooms for overnite guests as an element of the package.

Guthrie Castle took part in Wedding TV’s 10 part series The Best of British: Wedding Venues in September through to November last year. We were up against 26 other venues in the whole of the United Kingdom to win the title.

We were one of the only two venues chosen to compete in Scotland and on the 24th November the winner was announced, although we were not crowned the winner Guthrie Castle was awarded the title of Regional Winner and we were in the top 5 of the most viewed venues throughout the competition. Receiving this title as Regional Winner 2009 is a privilege as we were against venues that have been running for many years but also because the public voted for us.

We would just like to say thank you to all those who voted for us and that we will continue to grow as a wedding venue in the industry.

As our wedding party was quite small, we were able to enjoy the Castle for most of our wedding day.  The service exceeded all expectations.  Everything from the ceremony to the evening buffet went very smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.  The staff are lovely and made us feel very relaxed – we felt that the Castle was ours for the day!  The Pavilion was also a great place for our ceilidh in the evening.

The food was superb, and the Castle was very accommodating with special requests.  The accommodation was excellent too, both in the Castle and the surrounding cottages; we would definitely recommend staying in the Carrington Cottage!

We would like to say a big Thank You to all the staff at Guthrie Castle for making it such a perfect day, in particular Maeghan who organised everything on the day and Pamela who promptly dealt with all our queries throughout the year.  We had an amazing time!”

Our day exceeded all expectations, the staff were amazing, making sure that our every need was met and yet there prescence was understated not as to impose on proceedings.  The meal was beautiful and nothing was too much bother when we asked. The accommodation was elegant and again every need was catered for.

Craig and I would like to thank all the staff involved, especially Pamela, in making our wedding day truly magical and a day in which we can look back on with lots of wonderful memories.
