Carlowrie Castle – A fairy-tale castle for wedding venues in Edinburgh
There she is. The majestic Carlowrie Castle. Yes, the wedding venue I want to share is a real castle. It’s breathtaking when you stand next to it and it will create a memory that lasts a lifetime. It looks classy from the outside but the interior has been renovated. It has a modern and luxurious design. More on that later. I told you the wedding venue would be perfect, was I right? Let me take you through the castle and explain why it’s suited as the best wedding venue in Edinburgh.
A marble lounge
When you and your guests enter the castle it needs to be perfect. That’s exactly the reason why you’ll find the marble lounge right after you enter the castle… Nothing sets you more in the fairy-tale mood than marble stone. There is exclusive art and comfortable seats to keep your guests well entertained.
The marquee & orangery – your wedding venue in Edinburgh
Now we come to a very important part of Carlowrie Castle; the marquee & orangery. Here you will be able to conduct the wedding ceremony and host up to 110 guests for dining. The orangery has direct access to the breathtaking garden. There are more than 32 acres of private grounds for you and your guests to enjoy. A perfect way to make room for more cake and delicious foods being prepared by the castle’s own chef.
Your very own bar and yes, it’s stocked
In the evening, you can have wonderful conversations with your loved ones and relatives at your own bar. It’s a modernly decorated bar with beautiful lighting and art to make the place feel extra special. And of course, the booze is top-notch stuff and worthy of a wedding celebration.

The scenery, castle, and luxury make it a one-of-a-lifetime happening. And isn’t that exactly what you wanted for your wedding venue in Edinburgh?
A winter and summer wedding venue in Edinburgh
Castle Carlowrie isn’t just a summer wedding venue in Edinburgh. Thanks to the renovation, it’s also highly suitable as a wedding venue in the winter. It even has a more magical feeling in the winter if you ask me. The dark, cold night is in contrast to the bright marquee and orangery setting. A drink at the bar to warm up after a walk through the gardens. It really has something special. There is also a special winter offer, so it might be interesting to think the winter option through.
The Carlowrie Castle’s personal chef
Carlowrie Castle has a personal chef with a team to cater your wedding. They are top-notch food artists with a lot of experience in luxury dining. The food will help you to immortalize your wedding with extraordinary food and luxurious bites. He will pick the right wine to pair with your food and make everything come together. The team is highly professional and that means you can focus on your wedding.
32 acres of private grounds + tennis court!
I already spoke a little about the 32 acres of private grounds. It mostly consists of beautiful and well-manicured gardens with a diversity of plants. There are also great walking paths near the property. Great for exploring for your guests in between events. And if you are feeling competitive, you can ask your (least) favorite relative to play a match of tennis on the private tennis court. It’s in the center of the garden and it’s a great tennis court.
Note: keep an eye out for the little ones. 32 acres is a lot and you can easily lose them.
