The Setting
Aswanley is a secluded fortified house and Victorian barn on the edge of the Highlands in Aberdeenshire. The 16th Century house and gardens provide a magical backdrop for your wedding and the blank canvas barn the space and versatility to create a truly individual wedding day.
The Vibe
Aswanley, still a much loved family home, is a unique venue suitable for both sumptuous wedding receptions, intimate family gatherings and elopements.
The barn has a series of interconnecting rooms with the fireplace room at the centre. Your ceremony can be held indoors or outdoors to suit the style of your day: in the garden, outside the barn or in the ballroom. For smaller weddings, the fireplace room can be used for the ceremony, reception or both. If that’s not small enough, escape into the hills to their elopement hut for the most intimate of celebrations.
The barn has all the space you need to throw the biggest party of your lives; you’ll love the reasonable bar prices, the extensive dancefloor and best of all you can be as noisy as you want! It can be styled as much or as little as you want, personalised with the tiniest of touches or completely re-styled.
Hire includes everything you need, from chairs and tables to a well-equipped catering kitchen, including cutlery, crockery and glassware.
Their shepherd’s hut is perfect for couples who would like to say ‘I do’ with the minimum of fuss. The hut has a wood-burning stove, rustic pine interior and the wild backdrop of the Grampian highlands. There’s enough room for eight people, and it’s only accessible by 4-wheel drive. So they’ll give you a lift!
