Weddings at Brodick Castle
Within the castle, civil, religious and humanist ceremonies are held in the magnificent Drawing Room, famed for its intricate plasterwork ceiling depicting the heraldic story of the Hamilton family, from the marriage of Mary Stewart, daughter of James II, to Lord James Hamilton, up until the marriage of Princess Marie of Baden and the Marquis of Douglas and Clydesdale. With wonderful views across Brodick Bay to the Ayrshire coast, the south-facing Drawing Room is ideal for intimate celebrations.
