We are happy to be able to offer a wide range of wedding ceremonies at Guthrie Castle.  As well as Church of Scotland weddings (and no you don’t have to be a Member of the Church of Scotland to be married in this way) we have hosted a variety of inter-denominational marriages. Those wishing to celebrate with a Catholic service generally have the main service in one of the local churches and then return to Guthrie, possibly for a blessing and, the rest of the celebrations. For those wishing an alternative to a religious service we offer a traditional Civil Wedding Service, Celtic Handfasting Ceremonies and especially themed celebrations. And as our function rooms can dine around 300 guests we are now a popular venue for all types of Asian Wedding celebrations.
 
 
 
 


Humanist Wedding Services in Scotland

Scotland is one of only six countries in the world where Humanist marriage ceremonies are legal.  These ceremonies, as long as they are conducted by an offical celebrant (authorized by the Registrar General of Scotland), have the same legal status as civil and religious weddings.  They can take place anywhere within the grounds of this romantic castle, or inside the castle itself.

This type of service is an ideal alternative to the normal “Civil ceremony” conducted by a Registrar.

The Humanist ceremony respects virtually all situations; remarriage after divorce, weddings between people of different faiths or of no faith, and commitment ceremonies allowing gay couples to declare their love for each other (commonly recognised as “civil partnerships”).

Our experienced wedding coordinators can help you contact a suitable Celebrant and decide on which location within this romantic castle wedding venue is best for your Humanist wedding celebration.  If you prefer you can contact Gordon Ross on 0141 6366633 for more information on Humanist ceremonies in Scotland.
