Some places are designed for truly memorable celebrations, Penicuik Estate is one of them.
Here, weddings unfold among ancient trees, starlit gardens, and weekends spent with everyone you cherish. Each detail feels thoughtfully woven into the landscape, resulting in celebrations that are deeply personal and shaped by the beauty our landscape.
Penicuik House
At the heart of the estate, Penicuik House is the centrepiece of every wedding. With sixteen bedrooms, it brings everyone together under one roof, creating a welcoming home for your celebration. Light-filled drawing rooms provide the perfect setting for intimate ceremonies and champagne receptions, while the Courtyard and Rose Garden offer beautiful spaces to gather outdoors.
Whether you’re planning an intimate wedding for fifty or a lively gathering for two hundred, Penicuik House remains at the heart of your celebration, entirely yours for as long as you’d like.
The Orangery
Nestled in the Sunken Garden beside Penicuik House, The Orangery is a modern haven of glass, greenery, and light. By day, it feels bright and open, filled with reflections of sky and meadow, offering a light-filled sanctuary for ceremonies year-round. By night, it glows softly against the trees, alive with music and candlelight.
Ideal for larger weddings, The Orangery seats up to 150 guests for dinner and dancing or accommodates 200 for dinner alone, flowing seamlessly between the house, garden, and evening under the stars.
The High Pond
Just a few minutes’ walk from Penicuik House, the High Pond feels worlds away – a tranquil stretch of water framed by ancient woodland and the gentle rise of the Pentland Hills. During the warmer months, the waterside gardens are perfect for open-air ceremonies and drinks receptions. As dusk settles, sailcloth tents and glass marquees take on a gentle glow amid the trees, their canopies softly lit against the evening sky.
Couples can choose to arrive or depart by rowing boat, mooring at the old boathouse as guests gather on the shore – a moment that feels timeless and almost cinematic. It’s a place for beautifully romantic celebrations, where the atmosphere is defined by light on water, firelight after dark, and a deep connection to nature.
Old Penicuik House
For those seeking something truly extraordinary, the romantic ruins of Old Penicuik House offer an unforgettable backdrop where history becomes the stage for your celebration.
Within ancient stone walls, glass marquees conjure a sense of magic, transforming the ruins into a unique setting for candlelit ceremonies, lavish dinners, or parties that drift into the night. Here, music echoes through open arches and the glow of firelight mingles with laughter, creating a celebration vivid and enduring in memory.
The estate kitchen
Every wedding here revolves around extraordinary food. In collaboration with The Edinburgh Catering Company. The Estate Kitchen celebrates the rhythm of the seasons and the finest Scottish produce.
Your weekend might begin with a feast around the fire, the scent of cedar-plank salmon in the air, sizzling shellfish platters and ribeye steaks over the flames. For the big day, think long airy lunches or dinner is served by candlelight, with tables laid for sharing dishes that feel refined yet relaxed.
As the evening unfolds, the kitchen returns with midnight feasts of wood-fired pizzas and burgers. By Sunday, brunches linger into the afternoon, softening the pace. Each menu is tailored for your celebration, abundant, seasonal, and sure to be remembered.
