Traquair House

About Traquair House

A unique setting for your wedding ceremony and reception, steeped in history with personal service and attention to detail. Set in the beautiful Tweed Valley, just an hour from Edinburgh, with its own Chapel and private grounds for your ceremony..

Catering for 2 to 150 guests, smaller more intimate receptions can be held in the main house or we can erect a marquee in front of the house or in the old walled garden for larger weddings

The maximum numbers for a sit down meal in Traquair’s Dining Room is 34 guests; however we can seat up to 50 by using the adjoining Lower Drawing Room. The Still Room is bright and friendly room which is perfect for very small wedding meals of up to 8 people. The stunning 17th century Drawing Room on the first floor of the house can take up to 50 people for a stand up drinks reception and if your party is under 30 guests dancing can be arranged on a small scale, a perfect room to have drinks before and after dinner.

Marquees are advised for weddings over 50 people or if you wish to have music and dance into the night. There are two main areas we would recommend siting your marquee. These are on the wine glass lawn in front of the house or in the old walled garden near the Garden Café. We can cater for a formal sit down wedding breakfast or an informal barbecue or hog roast garden party.

We have put together some wedding packages for your convenience, however here at Traquair we pride ourselves on being able to offer a very personal service, and each wedding is unique. Please talk to us about your ideas.
