About Carrick Castle Estate
Carrick Castle Estate brings together a blend of wedding spaces and on-site accommodation within the landscapes of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park on Scotland’s west coast. Couples can shape their day around a rustic barn with capacity for up to 120 guests, with indoor or outdoor ceremony options including the barn itself, a rear courtyard, front courtyard or the lawn overlooking Loch Goil, all on the same estate grounds.
The estate also offers self-catering accommodation across multiple properties that together sleep up to 22 guests, meaning family and close friends can stay on site during wedding celebrations. Ceremonies and receptions can be tailored using the barn and external spaces, or designed around marquees, tipis or stretch tents on the estate lawns, giving flexibility to how the day unfolds.
Carrick Castle Estate supports a range of wedding styles from larger celebrations to intimate gatherings, and provides a list of recommended suppliers for food, photography and other services. The estate’s setting offers elevated views over the loch and surrounding hills, and the combination of reception spaces and accommodation allows couples to plan celebrations that span a full weekend with guests nearby.
