About Melville Castle
Nestled within 54 acres of beautiful woodland just outside Edinburgh, Melville Castle is a historic Scottish castle wedding venue where every celebration is uniquely yours. Whether you're planning an intimate elopement, a non-exclusive wedding or exclusive use of the castle, our experienced team will help bring your vision to life with exceptional food, beautiful surroundings and warm Scottish hospitality.
Whether you're dreaming of an intimate celebration, a grand exclusive-use wedding or something in between, Melville Castle gives you the freedom to celebrate your day, your way. Set within 54 acres of private woodland just minutes from Edinburgh, our historic Scottish castle offers unforgettable weddings from romantic elopements to celebrations for up to 200 guests.
Unlike many Scottish castle wedding venues, you don't have to book the entire venue to enjoy your special day with us. Whether you choose a non-exclusive wedding or exclusive use of the castle, our experienced team will create a celebration that suits your vision, guest list and budget.
Arrive along our mile-long tree-lined driveway and discover a venue that feels wonderfully secluded while remaining close to Edinburgh city centre and Edinburgh Airport.
Exchange your vows outdoors on our beautiful South Lawn or inside our elegant State Rooms or light-filled Ballroom. After your ceremony, enjoy drinks and photographs in the picturesque grounds before sitting down to a seasonal wedding breakfast, expertly prepared by our talented in-house chefs.
For larger celebrations, our elegant marquee provides the perfect setting for dining and dancing beneath sparkling chandeliers and fairy lights. As the evening unfolds, celebrate with family and friends before retiring to one of our 33 individually designed bedrooms and suites, including two luxurious bridal suites.
From your first enquiry to your last dance, our dedicated wedding team will support you every step of the way, ensuring your planning journey is as enjoyable as your wedding day.
You'll also receive complimentary access to our online Wedding Planner, where you can create a personalised quote, book a private tour and enjoy helpful planning tools.
Your love story is unique, and your wedding should be too. We'd love to help you create a day that's perfectly yours.
