Bearnock Lodge is beautiful all year round, but in winter, it’s a truly magical place to be. We are already taking bookings into 2024 for small intimate weddings. Discover three reasons we offer the perfect destination for your winter wedding in the Highlands of Scotland.
Stunning Scenery:
The Highlands of Scotland are known for their breathtakingly natural beauty, and in winter it’s spectacular. Frozen lochs, and frost-covered trees can create a magical winter wonderland for your special day and a perfect backdrop for your photographs.
A Cosy Venue:
Bearnock Lodge is a grand old lady with plenty of room for your guests. However, with roaring fireplaces, warm lighting, and luxurious furnishings, we offer a level of cosiness that it’s difficult to beat. The chilly weather outside adds to the welcome you and your guests receive as you step into the stunning oak-panelled drawing room with a fireplace at either end.
A Romantic Highlands Theme:
Romance and Scottish culture go hand-in-hand. Discover more in this article. Our couples often incorporate traditions like handfasting and drinking from the Quaich into their day. The sound of bagpipes, traditional Scottish music, and the wearing of kilts can also add to the romantic and emotional feel of the day.
Hearty and warming Scottish dishes help to create a cosy and intimate experience at your wedding reception. Traditional Scottish fare like haggis, neeps, and tatties, paired with a fine Scotch whisky, can add to the celebratory feel of the day.
