Argyll and Bute has 23 inhabited islands, including Bute, Islay, Jura, Mull, Iona, Coll and Tiree, more than any other local authority in Scotland. The area is also home to Loch Awe (at 41 km, the longest freshwater loch in Scotland) and several long sea lochs, which bisect the landscape.

Everyone loves a wedding – and Argyll and Bute is no exception. If you are planning a special ceremony in the future, take a look at what the Argyll and Bute area has to offer.

Elopements

The dictionary definition of an elopement is: Noun: to leave home secretly in order to get married without the permission of your parents.

Our definition of an elopement is an intimate relaxed, personal marriage between two people where all of the focus is on their love.

We’ll leave it up to you to decide whether or not you keep it a secret

The Argyll and Bute registrars love weddings, big or small, get in touch to start planning your perfect day!

If you choose to get married in our marriage rooms during the week we can supply witnesses for you.
