We are very sorry but we are unable to extend the invite to children, apart from the selected few within the bridal group we hope you understand and can still join us on our special day.
All invites are addressed to invited guests and we are unable to accommodate additional attendees.
Tuesday night: Cocktail Wednesday: Black tie, dress to impress but save white for the bride.
Although most wedding festivities will take place within the castle, please dress accordingly for the weather in Scotland in December is chilly and icy. Please bring any snacks or drinks you may desire throughout your stay. The bride and groom will be providing the welcome dinner and the wedding dinner as well as beer, wine, and champagne. We encourage you to BYOB if you would like something specific.
Our ceremony is unplugged so please no phones or cameras. After the ceremony please feel free to take as many pictures as you would like.
There will be a cash bar open for the evening of the wedding reception, it takes both cash and card (Amex is not accepted). Beer, wine, and champagne will be supplied by us on the Tuesday night and for the rest of the wedding day.
If you are staying onsite, check in is from 2pm Tuesday December 2nd and check out is 12pm on Thursday December 4th.
Each room is equipped with towels, toiletries, a hair dryer as well as access to an iron and ironing board. There will be a breakfast hamper (and a kitchen to cook it in!) but please feel free to bring any other snacks and drinks for your accommodation. For those staying within the castle (not the wings, cottages, or stables) breakfast will be provided
There is plenty of parking space at the castle. For guests staying onsite, a member of staff will direct you to the parking lot closest to your accommodation when you arrive. For those not staying onsite, you will be able to park in the parking lot closest to the castle.
We recommend checking specifically with your phone network. However, sim cards are a great option when traveling overseas and can be purchased in Scotland.
Please respond to the invitation rsvp and select that you would like to stay onsite. The bride and groom will reach out directly to you regarding accommodation. Accommodation information can be found directly on the Drumtochty website. However, payment and selections will go directly through the bride and groom. Rooms are booked through the couple. You let us know you are interested and your room fee is added to our bill. Once rooms are assigned pricing per room will be given and the total is due 3 months before the Wedding (August 2025). Payment can be made directly to the couple either cash, check, Venmo, or PayPal. If you have questions prior to accepting or declining the invitation please reach out to the bride or groom.
If you know you are joining us for our big day, get your passports ASAP. They can take a few weeks to process and they last for 10 years (5 years for children). If you have a passport, check that expiration date as there is a '6 month rule' in which you are not permitted to travel for 6 months before your passport expires.
Flights can be booked 11 months out so the earliest you can book a flight would be November of 2024. Google states the best time to buy international tickets is 5-6 months prior to your planned trip. There are agencies such as Expedia that will track the price of flights you are interested in. We've found booking further in advance gives us the best price, but it's recommended to browse on 'incognito' as the companies tend to bump the pricing of flights based off google searches/popularity.
Currency can be done at your bank, a credit union, online agencies, and at the airport. Fees for exchanging to Great British Pounds (GBP) may vary with the airport likely being the most expensive. We do recommend bringing some physical currency with you. Most places accept cards and even give you the option to be billed in USD or GBP. Additionally, be mindful of fees to use your cards overseas. Contact your local bank for that information. Also, make sure to notify your bank of your expected travels so your account does not get flagged
Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept any late payments towards accommodation for we also have a deadline through the venue. However, we would still love to celebrate with you and can share recommendations for accommodation throughout aberdeenshire.
