Dundas Castle

We attended a wedding at Dundas Castle and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We were incredibly lucky with the weather; clear blue skies that made the grounds look even more breathtaking. The castle itself is beautiful, with an older section that adds a real sense of history and character. We stayed in the Daphne room in the courtyard, which was charming, comfortable. A highlight was meeting the friendly black and white llama wandering near the lawns. His buddy is slightly less friendly! From start to finish, everything about Dundas Castle felt elegant and special. I would highly recommend.

Where do we even begin? Our two-day wedding extravaganza at Dundas Castle was beyond anything we could have imagined — truly a dream brought to life. We planned our overseas wedding for more than two years, and the exceptional service didn’t start when we arrived at the castle… it started the very moment we inquired about hosting our wedding there. From day one, Jill, our wedding coordinator, was extraordinary. Every conversation, every tiny question, every idea we had — she listened, took notes, and understood exactly how we envisioned our day. We always felt supported, heard, and genuinely cared for. And Morven from Heritage Catering was just as outstanding, helping us curate the perfect food and drink menus for both our rehearsal evening and wedding day. She made the entire process feel effortless and exciting. When we finally arrived at the castle, we were speechless. It was spectacular — straight out of a fairytale. Sir Jack, you’ve truly outdone yourself. The beauty of the grounds, the warmth of the atmosphere, the sense of historic magic… it took our breath away. The staff at Dundas were impeccable. They welcomed our guests with such kindness, personally helped everyone to their rooms, and made us feel so incredibly special from the moment we stepped inside. We were greeted by our day-of operations coordinators, Ellice and Emma from Heritage Catering — an absolute super team. Wedding planning can be stressful, but the second we met them and reviewed the final details, all the stress melted away. We knew we were in the best hands. Our wedding day itself was perfect in every way — surrounded not just by the love of our friends and family, but by the love, care, and attention to detail of the entire Dundas team. Everything flowed flawlessly. The food was incredible, the drinks were spot-on, and our guests had the time of their lives. We felt like royalty. Coming from the States and planning a wedding in a country we had never even visited before, we were truly blown away. Dundas Castle exceeded every expectation we had — and then some. If you’re considering getting married here, or know someone who is… run, don’t walk. It will be unforgettable. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to get married in a castle surrounded by such beauty? We would relive this experience over and over again if we could. Dundas Castle will forever hold a piece of our hearts. 💛

We had the best wedding day we possible could have at Dundas Castle in April 2025. From not long after we got engaged, we knew the venue was for us. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we loved that our ceremony, drinks reception and evening reception could all be held in different parts of the castle/grounds, making the day flow really nicely for our guests. There is so much history surrounding the castle and it's the perfect fairytale wedding venue. We just wanted to say the biggest thank you ever to you guys! We had the best day of our lives on Saturday and we absolutely couldn’t have done it without you. Our day ran so smoothly, there were no hiccups and that's all thanks to incredible team led by Sinead who went above and beyond. It made the day so much more enjoyable for all of us knowing that everyone was taken care of.We always felt included but never bothered in the decision making on the day! I LOVED that! All of our guests commented on how helpful the staff were and how it runs like a well-oiled machine. Offering a room for our friend who is breast feeding was such a lovely touch and much appreciated. It was the little touches we loved like our room being cleaned before our private moment, our family photos and guest book being so neatly displayed and moved down to the pavilion, or our stationery being so neatly packed up for us leaving with absolutely nothing for us to do. The accommodation is stunning and I felt like a proper princess that night. So thank you! Jill was absolutely amazing in her responses to emails, organisation, keeping us updated and being a familiar friendly face. The whole team are just fantastic. We would highly recommend Dundas Castle as a venue to all of our friends - for us it cannot be matched!

As a wedding photographer, I have had the privilege of shooting at many stunning venues, but Dundas Castle truly stands out as one of the most unique and beautiful locations I have ever worked at. The castle itself is absolutely breathtaking, with its historic architecture and stunning grounds. It provides the perfect backdrop for any wedding, with plenty of beautiful locations for photos both indoors and out. What really sets Dundas Castle apart, however, is the level of care and attention to detail that the staff provides. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed with how well-organized and professional everything was. The wedding coordinator Morven and other staff are friendly, accommodating, and always went above and beyond to make sure that the wedding party and guests were comfortable and well-cared for. As a photographer, I appreciated the flexibility that Dundas Castle offered in terms of photo locations and timing. There were plenty of stunning areas both indoors and outdoors to take photos, and the staff was always willing to work with me to ensure that I had enough time and space to capture the perfect shots. Overall, I would highly recommend Dundas Castle to any couple looking for a truly unique and unforgettable wedding experience. The castle itself is stunning, the staff is professional and accommodating, and the location provides endless possibilities for beautiful photos.

Finding the right wedding venue can be so daunting but Dundas and their staff are very experienced and efficient. The venue itself also does not need anything extra as it is stunning! We got lucky with the weather in the end but even if it continued to rain, it was still an amazing day. You can see the value for money in the way they manage big events. It was a day to remember and would highly recommend any bride and groom to book the castle for their wedding. The location is also amazingly close to Edinburgh and the airport. Thank you to all the staff on the day!
