During the months of May to September we are delighted to invite guests renting Brewlands Lodge and some or all of our cottages to celebrate their wedding or other special event in the grounds of the Estate.
Each wedding at Brewlands Estate is different. Some couples get married at our own small, picturesque 18th century local church, a three-minute drive from the Wedding Meadow: others choose the river bank itself.
For those who are staying in Brewlands Lodge, a wedding breakfast for up to 16 can be served in the dining room. For larger parties, up to 38 resident guests can celebrate in a marquee of their choice on our stunning Wedding Meadow beside the crystal clear River Isla. (Further guests by arrangement).
Our Wedding Meadow is completely private and reached by a quiet country road, or by a 15-minute stroll along the riverbank from Brewlands Lodge. Although surrounded by glorious hills and sensational views of the Cairngorm National Park the field itself is flat and the marquee site is easily accessible, so the elderly or infirm can be driven to the door of the marquee. The river bank is a magical place. This small river which flows from the King’s Estate at Balmoral Castle teems with wild brown trout (which, as residents of the Estate, you are most welcome to catch): abundant wildlife and wildflowers live along its edge.
The Meadow is available for a minimum three day hire, or longer by arrangement. This allows you time and flexibility to decorate your marquee and the Meadow exactly as you would like, and, above all, to enjoy your wedding experience to the full, setting your own timings and organisation. Lots of couples have a reception dinner or Burns supper with pipers the night before the wedding and round off proceedings with a relaxed brunch or barbeque the day after. They can also use the Meadow for a private (and often highly competitive!) Highland Games using a former World Champion, a whisky tasting for all by the CEO of a world famous distillery (both organised by the Estate), or perhaps a falconry demonstration.
As so many of our guests come from overseas, staying on Brewlands Estate with its 5 star properties, amenities and activities like clay pigeon shooting (skeet shooting), mountain or river walks, picnics, and famous places to see, gives an intimate and very private feel to the whole experience.
Brewlands Estate has 5 star accommodation for up to 38 people, bookable here. Further accommodation by arrangement. No camping is permitted anywhere on the Estate.
The Meadow can be hired at £1,000+VAT for three days. Longer periods by arrangement. A 50% deposit is payable on booking, with the remaining 50% payable six weeks before the date of hire. Hire includes the meadow, the riverbank, and on the wedding night, firepits which will be topped up by a member of the Estate team until midnight. More facilities by arrangement.
Our House Manager Simon, a hospitality specialist, can be contracted separately at a rate of £27 per hour to assist you with arrangements and ensure that everything runs without a hitch. You can reach him on +44 (0)7949 547 882 or at [email protected].
Please choose from one of our recommended marquee and catering companies, who we trust to look after you on your special day.
