Facilities and Capacity
A wedding celebration at Dundonald Castle honours 3,500 years of local history. This hilltop setting hosts a limited number of ceremonies each year, adding to its exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime quality. Say 'I do' within its stone walls beneath a stunning 650-year-old barrel-vaulted ceiling. The optimal acoustics allows each of your guests to hear your vows (no mics needed!). Outside, you'll find stunning views of central Ayrshire, the mountains of the Scottish Highlands, and the Firth of Clyde from Arran to Jura. The castle was once home to Scottish King Robert II and a medieval royal court, adding a unique touch to the spirit of the venue.
Services Offered
Dundonald Castle is led by an experienced team who will work closely with you throughout the planning process. During a tour of the main hall, with its 14th-century design, you can make plans to transform it how you like. Although a classic candlelit ceremony is utterly dreamlike, it is your own unique style that will make your day special. With LED candles, twinkling lights, and comfortable seating, you can have a unique and very personal style of ceremony. They welcome couples to bring their own creative imagination in decorating the castle for their special day.
