💍 Affordable Wedding Venue in Scotland | Logie Country House
Looking for an affordable wedding venue in Scotland where keeping an eye on the budget does not mean giving up the house, accommodation, privacy or time with your guests?
At Logie Country House, you have an exclusive-use historic Scottish country house for a 2-day midweek or 3-day weekend wedding, with 18 bedrooms sleeping around 50 guests.
Built in 1680, on estate lands recorded as far back as 1492, Logie sits beside the River Urie in the Aberdeenshire countryside, with views towards Bennachie, ancient woodland and plenty of space to enjoy the wedding with the people you have invited.
You also have an indoor heated swimming pool, two outdoor hot tubs, a cinema room and a private, air-conditioned and soundproofed ballroom for up to 160 day guests.
🏆 Logie has been voted Best Exclusive Use Wedding Venue at the Top Tier Wedding Awards every year since 2018.

You are not simply hiring a room for several hours. Many of your closest family and friends can stay together at Logie and enjoy the house as part of the wedding.
🌙 1. Consider a Twilight Wedding
A Twilight wedding can be a particularly cost-effective way to get married at Logie.
Starting the wedding later in the day can simplify the catering and reduce some of the traditional wedding-day elements while still giving you exclusive use of Logie for your chosen 2-day or 3-day stay.
You still have the house, accommodation, grounds, pool, hot tubs and your private wedding ballroom.

🛏️ 2. Let Guest Accommodation Help Offset the Cost
Logie has 18 bedrooms sleeping around 50 guests.
The bride and groom’s room is excluded when looking at guest contributions, leaving 17 guest bedrooms.
Many couples ask the friends and family staying at Logie to contribute towards their accommodation, just as those guests would normally expect to pay for a hotel.
What you ask guests to contribute is entirely up to you, but it can substantially reduce the amount of the venue cost ultimately paid by the couple.
You can see how different accommodation contributions affect your own cost using our estimator.

📅 3. Look at Midweek & Late-Availability Weddings
If you are flexible about your date, a midweek wedding can be one of the most cost-effective ways to get married at Logie.
Late availability can also occasionally produce particularly attractive opportunities when an unsold date is getting closer.
Rather than repeating offers and figures across the website, we keep the current options on our dedicated pricing and availability page.

💡 4. Simple Ways to Keep Your Wedding Budget Under Control
Our wedding planners have seen hundreds of weddings at Logie and can help you work out where spending really matters to you — and where it does not.
- 🍰 Use your wedding cake as dessert rather than paying for a separate dessert as well.
- 🍽️ Keep the menu straightforward rather than choosing expensive ingredients simply because it is a wedding.
- 🥂 Bring your own wedding-day drinks and pay corkage if that works better for you.
- 🌸 Choose seasonal flowers and concentrate them where they will have the greatest impact.
- 🎨 Make your own decorations if that is something you enjoy doing.
- 📅 Be flexible about the date if reducing the overall cost is a priority.
🍽️ Wedding-Day Catering & Drinks
Wedding-day catering at Logie is provided by our long-standing catering partner, Hudsons Catering.
Rather than forcing everyone into one fixed menu, Hudsons can quote for the food you actually want and help you find options that suit your plans and budget.
For wedding-day drinks, you have two choices: use the Hudsons bar, or bring your own drinks and pay corkage.
Hudsons’ bar prices are comparable to a good pub — not inflated hotel wedding-venue prices. 🍻

💷 Clear Venue Pricing Without Drip-Drip Extras
We do not believe in advertising one attractive headline figure and then gradually adding essential venue charges afterwards.
The venue pricing page explains what is included and what is separate, so you can understand the cost before deciding whether Logie works for you.
Wedding-day catering is priced separately by Hudsons Catering because every couple chooses something different.
There is also no need to guess whether Logie is within budget: our Wedding Cost Estimator lets you build a ballpark venue figure yourself before making an enquiry.

🌙 Want More Time? Add the Evening Before
If you would like even more time with everyone, you can add an extra night before your normal wedding stay.
You have full access to the entire house from 9.00 pm the evening before, giving your family and friends another night together and more time to arrive, settle in and catch up.
Depending on availability, adding the extra evening can also make a Tuesday or Friday wedding possible.
