Tucked away in Royal Deeside, Glen Tanar is a truly unique setting for your wedding – where Highland charm meets Victorian elegance.

At the heart of the historic estate is the Glen Tanar Ballroom, a breathtaking exclusive-use venue in the heart of the Cairngorms. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, Glen Tanar offers a beautiful, flexible space steeped in heritage and nature.

A ceremony setting like no other

Hold your ceremony in the romantic Chapel of St Lesmo, just a short stroll across the meadow. Or choose the banks of the Glen Tanar Trout Loch for an open-air ceremony.

Celebrate in timeless Highland style

Step into the spectacular Victorian Ballroom for an evening of dinner and dancing. Or, begin your day here with a breathtaking ceremony in a grand setting. Vaulted ceilings adorned with over 700 stag antlers, original oak floors, a roaring fire, and a beautiful grand piano create an unforgettable backdrop. This striking yet welcoming space accommodates up to 140 guests, with room for additional evening guests.

Stay a little longer, soak it all in

With exclusive access to the estate, you and your guests can extend your stay in one of seven beautifully restored self-catering cottages. Each cottage is thoughtfully furnished with British-made fabrics and hand-picked furnishings – offering comfort with character, and a home-from-home feel with a lighter footprint.
Set in the heart of the Cairngorms, with activities including hiking, mountain biking, fishing and horse-riding, there’s much to explore on the doorstep – making it easy to turn your celebration into a full weekend of memories.

Everything you need, all in one place

Wedding packages include use of the Ballroom and chapel, as well as getting-ready suites, a fully equipped catering kitchen, banquet tables and chairs, tableware, glassware, garden furniture, and lawn games. You’ll also have the option to work with some of Scotland’s top caterers, who can help you create a bespoke menu using locally sourced ingredients. Every part of the estate is cared for with conservation in mind, so your day feels meaningful in more ways than one.

A home from home
