Venue overview

Weddings

One of Scotland’s most spectacular wedding venues

Inside Haddo House, the Library and Drawing Room can host civil, religious and humanist wedding ceremonies, whilst the beautiful chapel in the grounds is available for religious ceremonies of all Christian denominations.

The striking Palladian exterior, pretty terraced gardens and surrounding country park with lakes and woodland all offer a wealth of opportunities for gorgeous wedding photography.

The elegant interconnecting public rooms are ideal for drinks receptions, allowing guests to relax, mingle and enjoy the surroundings before dinner is served in the Library, which has played host to royalty and dignitaries over the centuries.

From the house, a short stroll through the grounds leads to the Haddo Hall. Inspired by Lord & Lady Aberdeen’s first trip to Canada in 1890, it’s an ideal spot for ceilidhs, dancing and the evening’s festivities.

For larger weddings, you can hire a marquee to be erected on the Lower Lawn, adjacent to the Haddo Hall.
