Ardtornish Estate

The feel

Ardtornish have become a popular wedding destination in the last few years, offering lots of flexible options to give you precisely the wedding you want. We are very lucky in our location and many of our couples, during the warmer months, decide to marry on the lawn in front of the house with Lochaline and the Morvern hills as the backdrop. Our Grand Hall, with the capacity to seat up to 120 guests, is the ideal backdrop for ceremonies and evening Ceilidhs. In addition to this, the main house has other smaller, but equally grand reception rooms for more intimate weddings depending on your final wedding guest numbers.

We believe we are unique in exclusive use and private country houses in that we can offer you exclusive use of Ardtornish House for your ceremony, reception as well as overnight accommodation for up to 98 guests on the Estate. With a number of holiday houses and a hotel in the area, all guests can be easily accommodated for the duration of your wedding. We are always more than happy to help organise all this as part of our service too.

Each year we have a handful of available weekends dates put aside for Weddings and Events at the House but will always try to accommodate specific date requests where possible. We prefer to only provide a few special events in the house each year, where we can really take care of our guests every needs and not just be a venue which holds the same wedding package week in and week out. Ardtornish is a special and exclusive venue for a wedding and we are sure you will appreciate that too.

At Ardtornish we have full banqueting equipment which can be customised and adapted to suit your wedding theme. We also have a PA system that can be used both for speeches and for playing your own playlist of music. Another popular addition is our large Games tent, big enough for over 100 years and a great gathering point on days pre or après-wedding where guests can continue to celebrate in a less informal environment. Many of our guests incorporate this with a Hog Roast or BBQ night with meats provided from our very own estate.

Catering

Again, we are extremely fortunate to have teamed up with our partner caterers, The Whitehouse, who are based at Lochaline and pride themselves on using good local produce from the sea, land and venison, lamb and beef from our own farm at Ardtornish. Menus and service are designed around you from formal Wedding Breakfasts to informal buffets.

Bar

During your stay we can offer a number of flexible options in terms of the bar too. Our caterers have their own licence and can arrange this for you or you can provide your own drinks with a corkage fee and bar staff provided by us.

Transport

Should you need assistance, we can help you and your guests with all transport arrangements in getting to the Estate or in getting anyone staying nearby to their chosen accommodation.

Plenty to do and see

During any stay with us at Ardtornish we can offer and organise a range of things for you and your guests to enjoy. A full list of suggested activities will be sent to you before your arrive, giving plenty of time to decide and book up. On the estate we can offer Bike Hire, Guided Walks, Watersports and Fishing to name but a few.

Wedding Extras

Having hosted numerous bespoke weddings here before, we can provide you with a list of our recommended suppliers who know us and the estate well, including Celebrants, Hairdressers, Photographers, Ceilidh bands, DJ’s, Pipers, florists, Make-up Artists etc.

We do hope that you choose Ardtornish for your special day and would be delighted to welcome you here to have a proper look around.
