Wedding Advice and Wedding Information at Loch Lomond, Scotland
"Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road" The most famous song written about Loch Lomond starts with this line and never more true are these words when it comes to choosing your ideal wedding venue - you will be quite literally spoilt for choice.
From a rugged castle set high above the hills to a luxury cruise on the water, Loch Lomond will have the perfect venue to meet both your taste and budget requirements.
Do you wish to marry in front of a large group of family and friends beside the Loch, or would you prefer a religious ceremony in a church followed by an intimate dinner in a hotel? In Scotland a ceremony can take place at any time and at any place, provided your minister agrees to it. Banns are not necessary, but you must give your chosen register office 15 days notice of your intention to marry.
Throughout Loch Lomond and the surrounding areas there are several different register offices that you have to register your Banns with.
