About Weddings At Forter Castle

Forter Castle is the perfect location for an intimate highland wedding. The castle has its very own unique chapel on site, and has many years of experience in hosting weddings. Our luxury Scottish Castle is available to hire for weddings and other special  occasions throughout the year and is the perfect setting for your special day.

We recommend sixteen adults as the ideal number of guests but we can accommodate up to 24 for a day event. Each wedding can be tailor made to suit your requirements and as such, we can help you to arrange the fine details that make your wedding wonderful and as stress free as possible. Ceremony,  catering, hair, make up, flowers, Ceilidh band, fun entertainment, bag piper etc. are all things we are happy to help organise. We have a wedding package information document with prices which we will share with you on making an inquiry.

Forter Castle is fully licensed to host Civil, Religious, and Humanist wedding ceremonies as well as same sex marriages and wedding blessings. Two options are highlighted below.

Civil weddings are very popular at the castle and can also be conducted by registrars from within the chapel. For more information regarding the legal steps and documentation required visit the Angus Council Website or email Angus Council directly at regforfar@angus.gov.uk

Humanist weddings can also be a popular option – please contact the Humanist Society.

Our Scottish castle has hosted unique Highland weddings for many years with great success and so we would like to reassure our clients that we can help you bring your dream day to life. We have great feedback from past clients which can be found on our testimonials page including the marriage of Mick Hucknell of Simply Red fame.

Wedding Venue Surcharge

Traditional Wedding Toast

“A thousand welcomes to you with your marriage kerchief, May you be healthy all your days. May you be blessed with long life and peace, May you grow old with goodness, and with riches.”
