Reasons To Have A Weekend Long Wedding

Your wedding should be the happiest day of your life, but why should it only be a single day?
 
Instead, why not book a weekend long wedding at Myre’s Castle? That way, you can enjoy all the facilities at our beautiful wedding venue. There are many reasons to book a wedding over a couple of days.

Families come together

Having a weekend long wedding gives the two families more time to get to know each other. The idyllic surroundings at Myres Castle gives your families the chance to relax, mingle and enjoy the facilities together.
 
This also means less stress thinking about seating plans at the reception. Do you sit people next to people they already know, or people they might get on with? That isn’t a worry if people have a weekend to get to know each other.

Relax before the wedding

Booking a weekend for your wedding means there is no rush to get your dress on, get hair and makeup done, get the bridal party together and make it to the venue. Instead, you will wake up seconds away from the wedding venue.
 
This means you can relax on the morning of your ceremony. Maybe stroll through the gardens, enjoy some yoga or have a relaxing breakfast in your room.
 
Why stress about getting ready on your big day when you can make it a weekend and truly relax?

Pre-wedding sports

At Myre’s Castle you can spend the day before your wedding ceremony playing tennis, swimming or taking part in billiards. If your families are sporty, this is a great way to break the ice. Some gentle competition can really help to bring the families together.

Intimate dinner

You may feel like you haven’t paid enough attention to your closest family during a large reception, so why not book a weekend long wedding and have a cosy dinner the day before?
 
Invite your closest family to enjoy dinner before the wedding, for another chance for everyone to get to know each other.

Less travel

It isn’t just the happy couple that can be stressed by travelling to the wedding venue. But if your guests are already staying at our beautiful hotel, they won’t need to rush to get to the church on time.
 
Cutting down on travel is also a good idea if you want to have an environmentally friendly, sustainable wedding.

More time in the bridal suite

Why only spend the night of your wedding in the bridal suite, when you can relax there the night before as well.
 
The Tartan Lodge at Myres Castle is a private and romantic bridal suite. Once you have seen it, you will want to spend as much time there as possible. One way to do this is to book a couple of days for your wedding.

At Myres Castle, we are ready to welcome you and your guests, whether it is for a weekend long wedding or a single day. Contact us to discuss your wedding.
