Religious Ceremonies
The 15th Century Auld Keep with the original 3 feet thick walls of this tower and magnificent vaulted ceiling of the Great Hall is perfect up to 90 of your guests for your wedding ceremony. With the option of a video link throughout the Keep, larger numbers can also be catered for. Should you desire, you can use our "Chapel of The Smallest Portion" for a quiet prayer together before or after the ceremony.
Civil Ceremonies
Our Georgian Croquet Room, elegantly created with views across the lawns, is perfect for a Civil Wedding Ceremony for up to 80 guests. Following your ceremony, you are able to entertain your guests with a champagne reception in the comfort of the main house while the room is transformed for your sumptuous wedding breakfast for up to 60 guests. Should your numbers exceed 60 the Pavilion with its breathtaking views of the estate and floodlit castle is an equally as luxurious location for your first dinner with your guests as husband and wife.
Humanist Wedding Ceremonies
For couples who dream of walking down the aisle and experiencing the unparalleled romance and enchantment of marrying in the Great Hall of the Auld Keep, but do not wish to include a religious element to their service, a humanist ceremony is a perfect option. Humanist ceremonies are legally binding in Scotland so only one service is required, (as opposed to a civil ceremony followed by a humanist ceremony in other countries). The ceremony provides you with the opportunity to be as personal and expressive as you desire.
Humanist ceremonies may also take place in the Croquet room within the main house.
Outdoor Wedding Ceremonies
The spectacular Dundas estate is a breathtaking outdoor wedding venue with a variety of locations to fulfil any dream. For an open air wedding ceremony that is both romantic and unique, choose from a ceremony on the immaculate lawns with the dramatic backdrop of the castle façade or on a hill overlooking the sun glistened waters of the tranquil Dundas loch.
On the rare occasion that the Scottish weather is unkind, you will always have the option of inviting your guests inside where we will have transformed your chosen location into your ceremony room.
