An intimate wedding in the Highlands!
Love is the most incredible of all the experiences to touch our lives, it is the one feeling that we can depend on for life’s ups and downs and gives us the security to be ourselves. So it’s little wonder that the trend of intimate weddings in the Highlands has gained momentum over recent years. An intimate wedding in the Highlands allows couples to opt for a more personal and meaningful celebration as they pledge to love and care for each other, surrounded by those they love the most.
Why an intimate wedding in the Highlands? The personal nature of a smaller wedding is just the start of the benefits of keeping things small. There is also less stress before and on the day, allowing you to actually have time to spend with not only your partner but also your guests, making a truly magical day for everyone. Choosing a self-catering wedding, means having your wedding, your way – allowing you to add personal touches and create unforgettable memories.
The Ceremony
When looking towards venues for an intimate wedding in the Highlands, it is worth noting that in Scotland you are allowed to get married anywhere you choose (inside or outside) as long as there is an official celebrant present. So picture this: rolling hills, serene lochs, and ancient castles dotting the landscape – the Highlands of Scotland offer a backdrop that seems almost tailor-made for a romantic celebration. The intimacy of these locations allows couples to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Highlands. You can of course also choose to marry at your accommodation venue and our lodges have so many perfect spots to say your vows, you will be spoilt for choice.
As couples seek to start their lifelong journey together, the magic of a Spring or Summer intimate wedding in the Highlands is often what we think of. However, it is worth considering that Autumn in the Highlands paints the landscape in warm hues of red and gold, offering a cosy and romantic atmosphere. Whilst Winter weddings, on the other hand, can embrace the magic of a Highland snowfall, turning the surroundings into a winter wonderland. Each season brings its own charm and a Highland wedding brings you together with nature, tradition, and each other.
