The minister or registrar will arrive at the castle 15 minutes before the start of the ceremony to discuss the content with the Groom and Best Man. You will need the Schedule (previously obtained from the castle's local registrars), and expenses. After this he will interview the Bride in her honeymoon suite. The candlelit ceremony is usually conducted at 3 pm and lasts about 20-30 minutes, being informal in nature. The Groom, Best Man and guests are escorted to the castle by the piper about 5 minutes before the service, to assemble in the Great Hall.

The Bride is then escorted into the Great Hall with her attendants.

Comlongon try and keep the whole day as relaxed and informal as possible so guests stand during the short service, although some seating is provided for those who may have difficulties standing for this period.

Vows are exchanged before the blazing log fire whilst family and friends gather in a circle to witness the union.

At the conclusion of the ceremony the Bride and Groom will sign the Schedule, before being escorted by the piper from the castle to the private gardens where the photographers will be pleased to guide you through the numerous locations available.
