FAQs

Question

When must I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP via the website as soon as possible, and no later than 28 February, 2025. While we will send out reminders, unfortunately we will not be able to accomodate late RSVP's, as we will need to provide our vendors and venue with an exact guest count by a certain date.

Question

What should I do if I can't make the wedding or one of the events?

Answer

Though it would mean the world to celebrate with you, we understand if you cannot attend! We'd appreciate if you let us know as soon as possible if you cannot make the wedding or one of the included events. To do so, simply navigate to the RSVP tab and select "no" on the relevant events, so that we may plan accordingly.

Question

Question

Do you have any stay recommendations?

You can't predict the weather in Scotland. Plan for rain but hope for sun!

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Please refer to the schedule and RSVP section. The dress code for the Welcome Party is cocktail attire. This event is held at the castle and weather pending, will be in the courtyard outside. The dress code for the wedding is formal attire. The ceremony is held at St. Palladius Church and is a short walk from the castle. Kilts are encouraged but not required!

Question

No, the wedding ceremony will be held at St Palladius Church and the reception will be held at Drumtochty Castle. Both are on the same estate and are a short walk between each other. Cars will be available if required.

Question

What time should I arrive to the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony begins at 1:00pm. Guests will be asked to gather at St Palladius Church located a short walk from Drumtochty Castle, 20 minutes ahead of the ceremony. Our wedding party will be there to greet you, and escort guests into the venue.

Question

Is the venue indoor or outdoor?

Answer

Indoors! Scotland's weather is difficult to predict so the ceremony will be held indoors but we are hoping to spend time outside as well.

Question

Will there be any special dietary options?

Answer

Yes! Please let us know of your dietary restrictions in the RSVP section of our website.

Question

Can I take pictures during the ceremony?

Answer

While our ceremony will begin "unplugged," our officiant will let you know when everyone can begin taking photos and videos following the vows!

Question

Are there plans ahead of the wedding weekend?

Answer

There are no formalised plans ahead of the wedding but we do plan on being in Dunblane the week prior to the wedding. For those interested on the Thursday leading up to the wedding weekend, we plan on having welcome drinks at the Tappit Hen Pub in Dunblane. You can access Dunblane via train or if you wish to stay in the area prior to driving to Drumtochty Castle on Friday, we recommend the DoubleTree Hilton in town.

Question

Should I bring anything to the Castle?

Answer

Whilst breakfast is provided for our guests in the morning, we recommend bringing any snacks or food you wish to have on person as the nearest town to purchase groceries is 10-15 minutes away.
