15“ I cant speak highly enough of the Venue and the team
at the Lodge on Loch Goil. We were married at the
Lodge on the 26th September 2015. The place is truly
magical. Its difficult to put into words just how unique
and special it is; a hidden gem like no other. Our stay
”
was amazing from start to finish.
16Celebrant information
The celebrant you choose is of huge importance to your forthcoming wedding.
In Scotland the laws are very different; you can get
married outside if desired. All legal paperwork must
be completed by the local registrar in Argyll & Bute
despite which celebrant you choose for your wedding.
The registrar must have notice of a marriage
3 months prior to the date and no later than 29 days
before your wedding.
In Scotland you can get married by our registrar,
humanist or a minister.
Registrar
The registrar is very similar to the humanist since the
laws have changed. You can write your own vows and
have your ceremony almost anywhere. We work with
Argyll & Bute Council registrars who have been coming
to the Lodge for over 15 years.
Humanist
There are only 6 countries in the world which humanists
can marry you and Scotland is one of them since 2005.
Humanists are available for any couples looking for a
non-religious, personal and meaningful way to celebrate
their marriage. The humanist allows you to write your
own vows and tailor your ceremony; they also offer same
sex marriages.
Minister
The Minister can marry you at the Lodge or at the local
church if you are looking for a religious ceremony.
Please note - if you choose the minister or the humanist
you will have to personally go and pick up your legal
paperwork at Dunoon registry office which is 1 hours
drive from the Lodge and return the paperwork the day
after the ceremony in person or by recorded delivery.
17The Ceremony
We have a variety of locations available to get married in the Lodge to suit the
needs of every couple.
The Treehouse
Our amazing treehouse is the only licensed treehouse in the world. With a
maximum capacity of 24, you can have your ceremony in here by candlelight. You
will stand at the treehouse balcony with your celebrant and exchange your vows
in front of family and friends. You can also play your own music in the treehouse
with our bluetooth speaker if you so wish.
18The Ceremony
Arts & Crafts Room
The Arts & Crafts room is a truly unforgettable experience. With church like
touches such as the Daniel Cottier stained glass windows and hand painted
wallpaper, this is a stunning room to get married in. We can have the chairs in
a theatre like style for all your guests. With the fire roaring, candles lit and the
red carpet rolled out, this may be your ceremony room of choice. The maximum
capacity for the Arts & Crafts room is 55.
19The Ceremony
The Orangery
The orangery is the Victorian word used for conservatory. The by-folding doors
can open this room up to the elements and has stunning views out over the
grounds and loch. Like the Arts & Crafts room the chairs and red carpet can be
placed here for your ceremony. The capacity for the orangery is 70.
20The Ceremony
The Loch Front
For the better weather days, the loch front is the ideal place to exchange your
vows. The wooden chairs with the red carpet can be placed down here with
your wedding being within yards of a Scottish sea loch. A unique and amazing
experience with the perfect location for photographs. The loch front can hold 70
with some guests standing, you can sign your paperwork in the treehouse if you
choose to get married at the loch front.
21The Ceremony
The Terrace
Scotland is a stunning part of the world at anytime of the year with each season
bringing its own beauty and tranquility, the lodge terrace and landscapes gardens
are the perfect place to have the ceremony by bringing the outside in. Nestled
between the shores of the loch with a majestic backdrop of mountain scenery, our
terrace we can accommodate 70 people all seated for the ceremony.

A Foodies dream
Your wedding breakfast is one of the most important meals of your life so it is imperative
that it is perfect. Luckily we have a fantastic chef with many years in the industry who will
lovingly prepare each dish for you. Being a family run business for the past 20 years, the
Lodge on Loch Goil prides itself on sourcing the freshest produce and ingredients from the
surrounding areas. Our chef takes the greatest care in selecting vegetables and herbs from
our Victorian greenhouse situated in the grounds.
24Rooms for Dining
The Arts & Crafts dining room can hold a maximum of 24. Also great for smaller
weddings the large table will bring all your wedding guests close together for a relaxing
meal. This can also be used for the meal the night before the big day.
Our amazing treehouse can be used for dining up to a maximum of 8 guests. Perfect for
small weddings or maybe for a close candlelit dinner the evening before. The treehouse
will be candlelit with the wood burning stove rustling in the background. You may wish to
have the doors open to look out over the loch at dusk.
The orangery is best suited for weddings of 50 or above. With the beautiful views over the
grounds and loch, we can fit up to 7 round tables in here for your wedding party.
Also a fantastic idea for the night before, we can create a large table for your ‘informal’
dining or a BBQ.
