Welcome to Culzean Castle
Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for

Arran, Culzean Castle is set amidst
240 hectares of beautiful Scottish
countryside, with enchanting
terraced gardens, charming follies,
relaxing woodland walks and
inviting sandy beaches.
Redesigned by the famous Scottish
architect Robert Adam for the Earl of
Cassillis between 1777 and 1792,
Culzean Castle and its gardens offer
the perfect setting for your fairytale
wedding. Whether your dream

what is available at this extraordinary

charities, and helping us protect the

for present and future generations
to enjoy.

a place for weddings
Your arrival at
Culzean Castle
Upon entering the country park, follow the long driveway as it winds
through beautiful Scottish woodland, catching glimpses of the castle
through the trees. As you walk through Robert Adam’s Roman-inspired
ruined arch and across the viaduct, be prepared to be captivated as you
catch your first full view of magnificent Culzean Castle.
Beyond the castle’s entrance hall lies the Armoury. Renowned for its
world-famous collection of flintlock pistols and swords which adorn the
walls, this impressive room is ideal for welcome drinks on arrival and
celebratory drinks and canapés following the ceremony.
Maximum Capacity: 100
Your ceremony
in Culzean Castle
Within the castle, your ceremony can be held on the Oval Staircase, in
the Round Drawing Room or, for small parties, in the Eisenhower
apartment.
Oval Staircase
A Robert Adam masterpiece, the Oval Staircase lies at the heart of
Culzean Castle. Famous for its soaring colonnades, grand oil paintings
and dramatic carpet, the Oval Staircase is flooded by light from
the glass cupola high above.
Round Drawing Room
Used as a grand reception room by the 10th Earl of Cassillis to
entertain guests and dignitaries, the Round Drawing Room is an ideal
location for wedding ceremonies. Imagine exchanging your vows
in front of your friends and family, surrounded by six spectacular
windows offering panoramic sea views across the Firth of Clyde to
the Isle of Arran. The room is lavishly decorated with ornate cornicing,
giltwood chairs and a crystal chandelier.
Your reception
at Culzean
Castle
Depending on the size of your wedding party and
formality of the occasion, Culzean Castle offers you
a variety of unique locations for dining.
State Dining Room
Decorated in the Adam Revival style by the 3rd
Marquess of Ailsa, the elegant State Dining Room
features ornate ceilings, Corinthian pillars and
portraits of the Kennedy family who once lived at
Culzean. One of Scotland’s oldest families, the
Culzean Kennedys can trace their ancestry to Robert
the Bruce.
The State Dining Room can comfortably seat up to
72 guests. The castle’s original oak dining table can
also be used to seat more intimate parties of up to
36.
Georgian Kitchen
Dating from 1797, the Georgian Kitchen is located
on the ground floor of the castle, within easy access
of the State Dining Room and Armoury. The Georgian
Kitchen is ideal for ceilidhs, dances and drinks
receptions for up to 72 guests or dining for parties of
up to 36.
Home Farm Restaurant
Within a short walk of the castle, the Home Farm
Restaurant is ideal for a drinks reception for up to 120
guests or dining for up to 100. A versatile venue, it is
perfect for both informal and formal celebrations.
Your marquee in the
grounds of Culzean
If you are planning a larger wedding, marquees can be erected on
the Cannon Lawn, West Green or Fountain Court, using the castle
as a dramatic backdrop.
Cannon Lawn
A marquee on the Cannon Lawn connects directly with the Library,
encompassing the two impressive cannons standing guard at the
entrance.
West Green
This large open green, just a few minutes’ walk from the castle, offers
spectacular views across the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Arran.
Fountain Court
With a beautiful ornate fountain in the centre, the manicured lawns
of the Fountain Court’s sunken gardens are framed by palm trees and
colourful flowerbeds.
Your celebration
in the gardens
of Culzean
Camellia House
Constructed from ornate stone and glass, with lovely
views across the gardens, this Victorian folly is perfect
for intimate ceremonies.
Orangery
Once used to supply Culzean with exotic fruits and
flowers, the Orangery is a beautiful building on the
castle’s south-facing terraces. Today, ceremonies can
be held amidst the citrus trees or colourful summer
flowers.
Weddings alfresco
Culzean boasts a variety of gardens and extensive
castle grounds, many of which are licensed for civil
ceremonies. For couples wishing to hold open-air
religious or humanist ceremonies, the majority of the

Your accommodation at Culzean
The Eisenhower at Culzean Castle
In November 1945, General Dwight D
Eisenhower was invited by the 5th Marquess of
Ailsa and the Kennedy family to accept the keys
to a specially created guest apartment on the top
floor of the castle. Named in his honour, it was
gifted for his use during his lifetime, as a gesture
of Scotland’s gratitude for his command of
allied forces during World War II. General (later
President) Eisenhower, members of his family and
close friends stayed here on several occasions.
The Eisenhower apartment, which is completely
self-contained, has six bedrooms and can
accommodate up to 12 guests. In the style of a
country house hotel, the apartment includes a
Drawing Room and Dining Room and is accessed
using the original 1920s elevator.
Religious, humanist and civil weddings can take
place in the Eisenhower apartment. Intimate and
historic, this is a unique venue which is ideal for
small gatherings and is available with overnight
hire of the whole apartment.
