Perthshire's Exclusive Wedding Venue

Set in extensive landscaped grounds near Dunkeld in Highland Perthshire, Murthly Estate is an award-winning venue comprising Murthly Castle, the Chapel of St. Anthony the Eremite, the Walled Garden and the Douglas fir wood.

Why Murthly stands out from the rest

Rarity Value - We host only a small number of weddings, to make sure we give you our full attention and keep Murthly special.

Always Exclusive - Murthly Castle is a private home, so the venue is exclusively yours, not only on your wedding day, but also during the set-up period. You're our sole focus.

It's Personal - With a single point of contact, you'll always know who you're talking to, and we'll always be up to speed on your plans. We'll also help you prepare for the big day and ensure it runs smoothly.

We've Got Your Setting - Ceremonies can take place in the Chapel, the Castle, the Walled Garden or the Douglas fir wood. We have hosted Christian, humanist, hand-fasting and civil ceremonies.

You're in Control - We'll share our extensive experience of local caterers, marquee providers, florists and other suppliers, but the final choice is always yours. We're here to help, not to tell you what to do.

Award-Winning - In 2023 we were the winners of the Hitched Wedding Awards. In 2022, we received a Gold Award certificate from Best of Bridebook Awards for providing couples with excellent service.

Testimonials

Our previous wedding couples are the best guide as to what to expect at Murthly. Here's what Lyndsey and Jamie had to say after their wedding in May 2025:

"Murthly Castle was the most perfect wedding venue, and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. The church at Murthly was incredible—such a beautiful and atmospheric setting for our ceremony.

The castle grounds looked absolutely stunning, immaculately maintained, and provided the perfect backdrop for the marquee. The marquee looked fantastic on the day and blended beautifully into the setting.

From the very beginning, Thomas was a pleasure to work with. He welcomed us for multiple visits with family and friends in the lead-up, and he shared a list of recommended suppliers who knew the venue well—something that made the day run seamlessly as everyone worked together smoothly. He was also a great source of advice at the rehearsal and the day before the wedding, and on the day itself he was ever-present to make sure everything ran like clockwork. Even the car parking team were brilliantly organised.

Thomas also built a genuine rapport with us, our families, and the groomsmen, which made the day feel even more personal. After the wedding he kindly shared a short video he had filmed, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the day from his perspective—a thoughtful touch we really appreciated.

Murthly Castle was already a place of family connection for us, but our wedding there, with Thomas’s guidance and support, has made it truly unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend it more highly."

At Murthly, you choose which suppliers you want to provide what you need for your wedding. However, we have plenty of experience of local suppliers and are always happy to give you the benefit of our experience. Our full list is available to couples who have booked, but here are some examples of suppliers that we recommend:

Local award-winning caterers, such as Ballintaggart, Gourlay Events and Season Catering. For wedding cakes, try Aran Bakery, Copper Rose Wedding Cakes and the multiple award-winning Taystful.

For marquees, Best Intent, Elegant Pitches, Gourlay Events and Myreton Marquee Hire.

Our local florists include Coach House Flowers or Something Special Flowers, both award winners. And for photography, we can recommend Laura at Eilidh Robertson, and Nigel at Perthshire Photography.

If that feels like too much to organise, we also know a couple of really excellent wedding organisers who can manage things for you.

Finally, no castle wedding is complete without a piper, so touch base with Drum plus Drones or Sinclair Pipers.
