For religious ceremonies you can arrange for your minister\/priest or we can advise on local contacts.<\/p><p class=\"wb-stl-custom17\" data-dnid=\"140142\">From a small intimate family gathering to a larger occasion where you can hire a marquee and all the added extras, we can provide a beautiful and relaxed venue.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"wb-stl-custom17\" data-dnid=\"140146\">In the house we can cater for up to 35 people seated comfortably for your wedding ceremony. However, if you want to use the setting of our house as a venue to have a bigger wedding (with a few select guests staying in the house) then we can help you arrange a marquee wedding.<\/p><p class=\"wb-stl-custom17\" data-dnid=\"140154\">A number of people have now been married from the house with from 4 guests to 150. It certainly is a lovely personal venue, whilst the views over the loch make for some fabulous photos and we know many local contacts that can help with arrangements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6407ad0 elementor-align-start elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional
