Barcaldine Castle is the perfect setting for small, intimate weddings and is firmly established as one of the foremost venues for the celebration of marriage on the West Coast of Scotland.
Have your castle wedding ceremony conducted in the Great Hall by the open log fire, or by the sundial in the garden, weather permitting.
It suits some couples to ‘slip away’ to the tranquillity of Barcaldine Castle and marry quietly, enjoy a bottle of champagne by the fire and perhaps use the services of a local photographer to capture further photo opportunities in the area, and then have a celebration party with friends and family at a later date.
The maximum number of guests we can seat for a wedding ceremony in the castle is 36.
Wedding packages for the ceremony & facility fees range from £550 to £4,000 and include VAT. Rates are quoted individually and vary according to the number of people in the party, the time of year and duration of stay etc. A full written quotation is given once we have established your preferences.
The Registrar charges £452.60 to £603.60 to conduct a wedding at Barcaldine Castle. A minimum of 6-8 weeks notice is recommended. The Registrar is booked and paid separately by the couple and can be contacted on 01631 567908 or email Fiona.Dickie@argyll-bute.gov.uk.
The local Minister makes no charge but a donation to the local churches is welcome and you also need to pay to have the marriage registered. Please enquire here for more information.
For a Humanist Society Scotland Registered Celebrant to conduct your special and personal ceremony, we have previously had Registered Celebrant Rebecca Robinson conduct wedding ceremonies at the castle. She charges the usual Humanist Society Scotland fee for weddings of £410 plus travel expenses. Her contact details are: Rebecca.Robinson@humanism.scot or tel: 07856703337.
Other nearby Celebrants are Oban based Shona Sharp (tel: 07775 658970) and Gail Brack (tel: 07701 032349).
Please note if you are coming to Scotland to be married and you are subject to immigration control, you should check with your local authorities as you may require a marriage visa – this is not something the local Registrar will require to see but on entering the UK you may be asked for this.
Also available is a non-statutory ceremony or a re-dedication of marriage vows, this is an alternative to the legal wedding ceremony and allows the couple to get the best of both worlds
