Every couple (okay, bride) wants their special day to be unique and memorable.  Unique memories are what THE LODGE on the Loch do best.

The entire venue, including Aboyne Loch and the Cairngorm National Park, await, like a blank canvas to be tailored to every whim the couple (okay, bride) may have.  If the bride’s greatest wish is to be rowed across the loch to her wedding.  So be it.  If the groom would like to abseil down Clachnaban and swim across the loch with a box of Milk Tray secreted in his cummerbund.  That’s fine.

In addition to the loch and mountains of course, four main areas are available for the ceremony and reception, however, the entire venue can be put at your disposal exclusively including the six double occupancy bedrooms.   All four function areas have been designed with the south facing aspect walled in glass bringing the beauty and romanticism of the backdrop to the heart of the occasion like a silent guardian guest.

The stunning Glentanar Room with two of its four walls in foldaway glass, is a most breathtaking area for the ceremony seating for up to 80 people, with wraparound views and outdoor decking.  The Formaston room on the top floor accommodates 75-80 seated dining guests or 110+ for the ceremony.  The Oaprey Restaurant below accommodates 120 seated guests for the meal and is ideal as the main dance area during the reception.  Leading on from the restaurant is the outdoor Osprey Deck with capacity for 120 This is an outside area, but we have sections that are fully enclosed with Glass Wall Marquees and canopies that make the area ideal in inclement weather. This is Scotland after all.
