FAQs
Absolutely! Shieldaig Lodge is a relaxed and intimate venue. Exclusive use will give you run of the gardens, the main house, and all 12 bedrooms. For the ultimate Scottish country house wedding experience, we recommend exclusive use! We offer exceptionally competitive prices for exclusive use weddings.
As a Scottish wedding venue, we don't actually require a license! In Scotland it is the individual (e.g. the registrar) who holds the license, as opposed to the venue. This means that you can get married anywhere (with the landowner's permission!) With that in mind, we have complete flexibility on where you hold your ceremony - in the main house, the gardens, by the loch, or in the surrounding grounds.
Definitely! Outdoor weddings are available at Shieldaig Lodge. You can get married on the lawns, in the surrounding grounds, or at the edge of the loch.

Please contact us directly to discuss this. Many options are available, depending on where you choose to host your ceremony, and whether you choose an exclusive use wedding (which gives you run of the entire hotel and gardens!)
