Wedding Venues in Moray

Finding wedding venues in Moray

Moray is Scotland’s whisky heartland, whose castle, country estate and coastal hotel venues have gained a following among couples looking for a quieter Highland alternative to the busier Perthshire circuit. The venues listed here span everything from the grandeur of Brodie Castle to smaller barn conversions and boutique hotels, with most concentrated around Elgin, Forres and Buckie. Venue hire typically falls between £2,500 for a weekday or off-peak Saturday and £12,000 or more for a peak summer exclusive-use booking, before catering.

Aberdeenshire and Highland are both within easy reach and have their own strong venue circuits; couples whose guest list is split between the areas sometimes find it easier to look across both before committing. Ask about exclusive-use availability early — many country house and estate venues take only a limited number of bookings per year, and Saturday dates in May, June and September typically fill well in advance. Confirm what the venue provides in-house and what you’ll need to source separately; the difference between a ‘dry hire’ and a ‘full package’ venue can mean significant additional supplier cost.
