Belladrum Estate

We charge £270 (including VAT) for the use of the building per wedding, all of which goes towards its maintenance. This is no extra charge for time you may need to prepare the building or rehearse there the day before, subject to fitting in with the timing of any other wedding taking place there. For access to the Temple, please call caretaker Shelley Walker on 01463 741013.

As regards other aspects of your wedding at Belladrum, Susan Kirkness of Highland Wedding Bells, susan@bruach88.fsnet.co.uk or 13A Londubh, Poolewe, Ross-shire IV22 2LD telephone 01445 781330 provides an excellent overall service. She knows the Temple well – you can book it at the same price through her or direct with ourselves – and she can arrange legal necessities such as registrar procedures, priest or minister, piper, flowers, reception, cars or carriage and accommodation.

A non-refundable deposit of £50 is required in order to confirm your booking of the Temple. For bookings direct through ourselves (it is the same price to book via Susan), the balance is payable four weeks before the wedding day. To get married in Scotland, there is a legal requirement that you inform the local registrar in advance.

The paraffin or gas heater in the Temple will be lit two hours before your service.

The Temple is consecrated as Scottish Episcopalian. However, we allow services from any sect of Christianity or humanism to take place there. The Temple is not as yet registered for civil weddings. If you choose not to use Susan, we are able to provide some local contact information but we are not able to help with a priest.
