⭐ Wedding at Glenapp Castle, Ayrshire
Set against the dramatic clifftop backdrop of Glenapp Castle, this wedding marquee was designed to complement the luxury and grandeur of the venue while giving the couple a truly bespoke space.
We provided a clear-span marquee positioned within the castle grounds to take advantage of the breathtaking coastal views. The structure included:
-
12m x 24m marquee for dining and dancing
-
Panoramic walling to frame the sea view and surrounding gardens
-
Ivory pleated linings, chandeliers, and floral rigging points for ceiling décor
-
Luxury carpet and timber subflooring for stability and comfort
-
Fully furnished interior with round dining tables, limewash Chiavari chairs, and soft lounge areas
-
Back-of-house catering tent, linked discreetly to the main marquee
-
Power, lighting, and climate control to ensure a flawless experience, rain or shine
The result was an unforgettable outdoor celebration that flowed seamlessly into the elegance of the castle setting.
Top Tip: For marquee weddings at historic venues like Glenapp Castle, early planning helps maximise access and layout options—especially if views and photo backdrops are key.
Features included timber flooring, standing zones with bar tables, themed lighting, and dedicated catering marquee. Styled in deep purples and warm lighting for a bold visual impact.
