Getting Married at Borthwick Castle

Your wedding day should be perfect and you can be assured that the intimate and romantic setting, along with the outstanding service and hospitality of Borthwick Castle will make it so.

The Castle is licensed for both civil and religious ceremonies. We welcome wedding parties from 2 to 75 (currently restricted to 65 for Civil Ceremonies) and the Castle can be hired for Exclusive Use for your special day.

The Ceremony

The Garrison Chapel can accommodate up to 75 guests, or for smaller wedding parties of up to 10 people the State Room may be used.

The CeremonyBorthwick Parish Church lies just by the entrance to the Castle's driveway. Your wedding service can take place here using the services of the local minister or a minister of your choice. After the church service, many couples choose to have a piper accompany them through the avenue of trees to the Castle.

The Banquet and Reception

The Piper

The newly-weds will then enter the Great Hall and greet their guests while a piper or perhaps a string quartet play from the Minstrels' Gallery. The Wedding Banquet will take place in this magnificent setting where up to 73 guests can dine with the happy couple. Choose your wedding banquet menu from the extensive selection available and our gourmet chef will prepare your meal with the emphasis on using the best fresh local produce available.

A fine choice of wines and champagnes is available to accompany your food. Champagne Receptions and Coffee may be taken in the State Room. While you are enjoying coffee in the State Room the Great Hall can be set up for an evening reception, dancing, ceilidh or entertainment.

"What a dream come true! Everything and everyone was perfect! We'll never forget it!"

The Ogelsby's Philadelphia, USA

The Garrison Room
"...thank you all so much for your help both before the wedding on Friday, but especially on the day itself. The high standard was noticeable throughout - the service, the food, the layout, the bedchambers - everything.

I appreciated also your assistance with things I hadn't organised properly! The day went wonderfully and everyone loved the Castle! Many thanks once again for a magic day."

Louise Paton, Perth

Getting Ready
