Nestled in the picturesque Scottish Highlands, 17th-century Innes House is a stunning, memorable wedding venue surrounded by expansive walled gardens within a private country estate. Dominating the Moray skyline, enhanced by the surrounding rolling farmland and Cairngorm Mountains, it offers a truly romantic setting for your special day.
Home to the fifth generation of the Tennant family, the castle’s interiors are swathed in tactile fabrics and warm hues, giving a sense of timeless country charm and natural flow to the rooms of Innes House. The Georgian-style sash windows look out over spectacular 5000-acre grounds, encompassing enchanting walled gardens, manicured lawns, wild meadows and historic woodland.
This charming family home, with an archive full of captivating history, creates a wonderful setting in which to be married and start your own story, enveloping you and your guests in its warm, relaxed and rustic charm. Exclusively yours and with an obliging hospitality, possibilities are endless for the design of your wedding - you may wish to elongate your celebrations by enjoying a pre-wedding dinner or post-wedding brunch party.
A Delightful Wedding Ceremony
As your guests weave through the castle grounds along a tree-lined drive, this elegant turreted castle will emerge with its pale yellow façade, pretty gables and steep rooftops. Guests then wander through the ancient courtyard and original stone-arched vestibule, leading into an atmospheric reception area, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead.
Whether out in the walled garden, cocooned by meadow and forest, or inside one of the two exquisitely designed and light-filled ceremony rooms, imagine exchanging your vows ensconced in such a beloved setting.
The Red Ballroom - for up to 60 ceremony guests
The East Ballroom - for up to 144 ceremony guests
Before and after proceedings, your guests could enjoy a glass of Champagne on the lawn, then, depending on the party’s size, gather in the elegant drawing rooms or stroll among the grounds of ancient Redwood trees and pretty gardens.
House Party Wedding
The intimacy and elegance of Innes House lends itself perfectly to a house-party style wedding with a choice of dining and reception areas:
Red Room - seats 50 guests on round tables / 12 guests on one table
The East Ballroom - seats 60 guests on round tables / 38 guests on one large table
Up to 100 guests can celebrate in the East Ballroom for the evening reception.
Marquee Wedding
Ideal for weddings from 60 - 160 on round tables, Innes’s enchanting marquee in the Courtyard Rose Garden can be attached to the side of the property enabling a seamless link to the house and allowing guests to step from ballroom to marquee with ease.
With a different marquee or stretch tent of your choice, maximum capacity for day and evening guests is 280.
Nostalgic Romance & Photo Opportunities
The dedicated team at Innes House have a passion for hospitality in a historic setting so you can relax in the knowledge that everything will be taken care of on your wedding day, from the aesthetics to the atmosphere itself.
From roaring open fires in cooler months to bright, bountiful flowers fringing the castle and filling the walled gardens in summer, your wedding at Innes House will be completely in tune with, and make the most of, your chosen season.
The gardens feature delicate flowers, box hedging, manicured lawns and characterful features, whilst the grounds are home to beeches, redwoods and ancient 300-year-old oak tree; all wonderful for capturing romantic moments in photos.
