SUPERB WEDDING VENUE

Adam’s mastery of form in his radical adaptation of this castle, originally dating from 1590, has created a grand, impossibly romantic backdrop for modern events. Set in nearly 600 acres of beautiful countryside with woodland walks, inviting sandy beaches, terraced gardens and charming follies, this is a unique and inspirational setting for entertaining guests.
Grand and prestigious or intimate and relaxed, the options at Culzean are endless.

The breathtakingly beautiful Circular Saloon with its views towards the Island of Arran can seat 72 guests for a ceremony or concert, followed by dinner in the surprisingly intimate State Dining Room. For a larger event, the Home Farm Restaurant can accommodate up to 100 guests for a banquet or ceilidh. This air of exclusivity extends to the six-bedroom Eisenhower Apartment on the top floor of the castle, which, with its circular drawing room featuring a roaring log fire and its private dining room, can accommodate up to twelve guests in a country house style and is the perfect location for a honeymoon or luxury executive retreat.

WEDDING TARIFF 2007

Robert Adam's magnificent cliff-top castle was built for David Kennedy, the 10th Earl of Cassillis, to entertain his friends in style. Today Culzean can be yours for a summer's evening to entertain your friends in 18th-century elegance with superb views across the sea to the mountains of Arran.

From 1 April to 31 October the Castle is available for private hire from 4.30pm. In winter, it is also available for functions throughout the day. Rooms within the Castle and other buildings around Culzean’s beautiful grounds can be hired at any time for a more self-contained event and at a more modest fee than that for the whole Castle. The facilty fees reflect the National Trust for Scotland’s primary purpose of conserving Culzean for people’s enjoyment, now and into the future.
