Please find outlined below your step by step guide to your religious wedding ceremony held here at Auchen Castle Hotel, one of the most luxurious wedding venues in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland (print this page):- Choose a Wedding Date.
- Once you have chosen a date contact us by email (sales@auchencastle.com)
or telephone [+44 (0)1683 300 407] to check availability
and to book the venue.
We will confirm availability and if your date is not available we will give alternative suggestions. - Once we have agreed a date
we will place your date on hold provisionally until
your deposit is made within 3 days.
Deposits can be paid immediately by credit or debit card. Alternatively forward a cheque to Auchen Castle Accounts Department (Auchen Castle Hotel, Beattock, Near Moffat, Dumfriesshire DG10 9SH, Scotland) within 7 days. - Once we have received
payment with a signed copy of our terms and conditions, we
will ask you to:
- book your Minister; the Ministers' diary is incredibly busy so we recommend as much forward notice as possible.
- confirm the location of your wedding. You can get married in Auchen Castle itself or outside in the gardens (weather permitting). We also can arrange a religious ceremony in a local Church. - Auchen Castle will contact you and confirm that everything is booked.
- You will then need to submit completed
