Ormidale House

The feel

With 22 acres of grounds, fabulous views, and top class accommodation on site for up to 75 people, we believe the Ormidale House Estate must now be one of the most attractive private venues for a wedding in Scotland. We’ve hosted some really lavish wedding parties here, with top of the range marquees, amazingly lit, vintage champagnes flowing and £60 per head breakfasts. But we’ve had some very informal bashes, as well, at much lower budgets, and it can also be an incredibly cost-effective way to go about things – both for you and your guests.

We have hosted special days now for around two dozen couples, with humanist, civil, Catholic and Church of Scotland services having taken place in the house and grounds. Kilmodan Parish Church is just a couple of miles away, and is a really pretty venue for those wanting a religious ceremony in a traditional setting – but Scottish law recognizes humanist ceremonies as binding, and also allows a minister of religion to conduct the ceremony anywhere he likes, so you have all the flexibility in the world.
