Weddings and Conferences
WEDDINGS
The castle is quite simply the best wedding venue that any couple could have, whether you are one couple or a party of sixty.

The reception can take any form you wish - a Scottish tea, with your champagne/sparkling wine and possibly the cake/speeches, followed later by perhaps the piper/dancer entertainment and then a sit-down dinner or stand up buffet for numbers larger than 60: or you can have canapes, or no food and an earlier dinner - we'll discuss formats with you when you visit or by phone.

Details and costs are all are in our literature, on request, and many helpful guidelines. Our administrator will help you plan the entire day and our staff will ensure that it runs smoothly.

CONFERENCES
Duns Castle is flexible enough to be suitable for a wide variety of Corporate and incentive events. It is a spacious and secluded property with a wide variety of facilities. The historic 16th century great hall dining room can cater for up to 60 (seated) with fine service and genuine home cooked Scottish cuisine.
