Guests who are not staying on site will need taxis or private transport at the end of the evening, as Branxholm Park is rural and there is no accommodation within safe walking distance. We recommend arranging taxis well in advance so everyone can travel safely and smoothly.

What kind of weddings is Branxholm Park best suited to?
Branxholm Park is best suited to couples looking for an intimate, exclusive-use country house wedding in Scotland rather than a large hotel-style or function-suite wedding.
It works especially well for relaxed luxury weddings where you want to spend proper time with your closest family and friends, have the house and grounds entirely to yourselves, and enjoy a celebration that feels personal, warm and beautifully hosted.
Branxholm is ideal for smaller and medium-sized weddings, with up to 74 people seated for the wedding meal, including the wedding couple, and up to 85 guests on site in total, including the wedding couple and any children. It is particularly well suited to couples who like the idea of a private house party atmosphere, in-house catering, accommodation on site, beautiful gardens, a romantic ceremony space, and a no corkage drinks model where you bring the drinks and the Branxholm team chills them, serves them and keeps the celebration flowing.
It is not a typical function venue. It is best for couples who want something more private, characterful, relaxed and personal.
