Planning a wedding has been incredibly stressful for many couples over the last year or so, with restrictions impacting plans in all sorts of ways. The good news is that people can now plan their wedding with confidence and excitement once more. And whether it’s a grand affair or intimate gathering, these Scottish wedding firms strive to ensure the occasion is the greatest day of their clients’ lives...

Dunkeld House Hotel

The Herald:

Gather your nearest and dearest in a romantic setting amid stunning Perthshire countryside and celebrate in style. Imagine when you come down the drive of the hotel, your little castle appears. Even on the busiest of days, it is an oasis of calm for your special day.

Once the holiday home of the Duke of Atholl, Dunkeld House Hotel has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment. Nestled on the banks of the River Tay in 280 acres of woodland, the luxurious country house retreat mixes 21st-century comforts with traditional features.  

Not only can you stay over and pamper yourself before the big day, but you’ll be able to host everything from the ceremony to the reception at the hotel. Make your entrance down the statement central staircase, sip on bubbles with a view over the river and explore the grounds with your photographer. Then party the night away before retiring to one of the 97 comfortable bedrooms.

Plan your big day as an intimate occasion in one of the chic event rooms or a grand party inside the hotel's marquee. You can also have your ceremony outside on the grounds in the breath-taking new ceremony room. Dine on delicious local food with helpful staff and let their friendly team do the work for you.  

Their dedicated wedding planner May will work with you from the moment you enquire to create cherished memories for you, your family, and friends that will last a lifetime. To find out more, please call 01350 728337 or visit www.dunkeldhousehotel.co.uk
