Drum Castle is found only ten miles from Aberdeen city centre and is a wonderfully intimate castle, ideal for smaller and more personal weddings. It is found in the midst of an ancient oak forest on the edge of Royal Deeside and manages to combine medieval history, Jacobean romance and Victorian opulence to striking effect.
Drum Castle is home to a beautiful 16thcentury chapel, which is nestled in the castle grounds among woodlands of holly and yew trees. It can seat up to 45 guests for a religious ceremony. Alternatively its impressive library with its large vaulted ceiling, rich wooden bookcases and open fireplace can provide a homely setting for civil, religious and humanist ceremonies for up to 70 guests. After the ceremony, wedding guests can enjoy sipping Champagne as they stroll through the delightful walled rose garden and this leaves plenty of time for the bride and groom to escape to have photographs taken and spend some precious time alone. Then listen out for the sound of bagpipes leading guests to dinner in the Dining Room. This warm and welcoming room is surrounded by a wonderful collection of family portraits and silver and offers an intimate location to entertain 50 of your closest family and friends.
