Getting married
Birkhill castle is a fully-exclusive venue so you and your loved ones can have the castle and grounds all to yourselves. You can book the castle for a minimum of 3 nights which will allow you to fully unwind and soak in the scenery that the 1500 acre estate and Firth of Tay offers. There are endless ceremony location options to choose from both inside and out.
We can accept up to 45 guests in our ballroom which leaves plenty of space to enjoy a delicious meal and dance your hearts out in the evening. There are 13 luxurious double rooms, 2 singles and a nursery that can sleep 6 children.
Why not kick off the celebration with a welcoming glass of champagne on the lawn, gather in the elegant drawing room or stroll beneath majestic 300-year-old oak, beech and redwood trees in our woodland gardens.
Relax before the big day with a game of golf at nearby St Andrews or for the more energetic, with a laughter filled afternoon of Scottish Highland games at Birkhill. Roaring fires and hot whisky toddies in the snow; champagne and summer cocktails on the beach – Birkhill castle is just the right year-round location for your wedding.
We have a variety of ceremony locations…
…BOTH INSIDE THE CASTLE AND WITHIN THE 1500 ACRE ESTATE
“We were married in the Wild Garden, amongst towering pines and on a carpet of moss. You could not wish for a more idyllic setting”
