🌿 Outdoor Wedding Venue in Scotland
Looking for an
outdoor wedding venue in Scotland where you can marry in the countryside but still have accommodation, a private ballroom and a proper indoor backup close by?
At Logie Country House in Aberdeenshire, you can hold your wedding ceremony outdoors in the courtyard, on the lawns, beside the River Urie, in the woodland or in other areas around the private estate.
You then have the house, ballroom and grounds exclusively for your
2-day midweek or 3-day weekend wedding.
With
18 bedrooms sleeping around 50 guests, an indoor heated swimming pool, two outdoor hot tubs and a private ballroom for up to
160 day guests, an outdoor ceremony at Logie can be one part of a much bigger wedding celebration.

💍 Where Can You Get Married Outdoors at Logie?
One of the advantages of Logie is that you are not restricted to one outdoor ceremony location.
Depending on your plans, guest numbers and the weather, you can choose from several areas around the estate.
Courtyard Weddings
The courtyard is one of the most popular outdoor ceremony locations at Logie.
It sits immediately beside the house, so guests do not have far to walk and you remain close to indoor facilities if the weather changes.
The house and courtyard walls also give the area a more enclosed and private feel than an open lawn.

Lawn Weddings
The lawns in front of Logie provide a more open setting, with the historic house behind you and views across the grounds towards Bennachie.
This works particularly well if you want a traditional outdoor ceremony with rows of chairs and plenty of space around your guests.
Riverside Weddings
The River Urie runs through the estate and provides another outdoor setting for ceremonies and photographs.
The river, lawns and woodland give couples several very different backdrops without leaving the venue.
Woodland Weddings
If you want something more secluded, you can hold your ceremony among the trees in Logie’s private woodland.
This is especially suited to couples looking for a forest or woodland wedding rather than a formal garden ceremony.

Private Island Weddings
For a smaller outdoor ceremony, Logie’s private island can provide a particularly unusual setting surrounded by trees and running water.
The Pictish Stones
Logie also has three historic Pictish stones within the estate grounds.
For couples who want something completely different, the area around the stones can provide a distinctive Scottish setting for a ceremony or photographs.
🌦️ What Happens if the Weather Changes?
An outdoor wedding in Scotland needs a sensible backup plan.
At Logie, you do not have to commit to an outdoor ceremony regardless of the weather.
If conditions are unsuitable, the ceremony can be moved indoors.
That means you can plan for the outdoor wedding you actually want without needing a second venue or asking guests to travel somewhere else if the forecast changes.
The decision can be made close to the ceremony once the weather is clearer.
Rain is not the only consideration either. Wind, temperature and ground conditions can all affect whether an outdoor location is comfortable for your guests.
🏡 Outdoor Ceremony, Indoor Celebration
Choosing an outdoor ceremony does not mean the entire wedding has to take place outside.
After the ceremony, guests can return to the house and private ballroom for the wedding breakfast, drinks, speeches and evening celebration.
The ballroom has the bar and dance floor in the same room, so everybody remains together for the party.
This gives you the scenery and atmosphere of an outdoor Scottish wedding without losing the practical advantages of a purpose-built wedding space.
🛏️ Stay at Your Outdoor Wedding Venue
Logie has
18 bedrooms sleeping around 50 guests.
For couples planning an outdoor wedding, this means many of your closest family and friends can stay at the same place as the ceremony and reception.
Guests do not need to travel between a ceremony venue, hotel and evening reception.
During the wedding stay they can also enjoy:
- 🏊 Indoor heated swimming pool
- ♨️ Two outdoor hot tubs
- 🎬 Private cinema room
- 🌿 Courtyard and lawns
- 🌲 Woodland and riverside walks
- 🔥 Open fires around the house

🗝️ Outdoor Weddings Over 2 Days or 3 Days
Logie is not a venue that you simply hire for an outdoor ceremony and leave a few hours later.
Choose either a
2-day midweek wedding or a
3-day weekend wedding.
The house and grounds are exclusively yours throughout your wedding stay.
That gives you time to enjoy the estate before and after the wedding day itself rather than the outdoor ceremony being the only time you spend in the grounds.

📸 Outdoor Wedding Photography
Holding your wedding at a country estate gives you a large number of photographic locations without having to leave the venue.
At Logie these include:
- 🌿 The lawns
- 🌊 The River Urie
- 🌲 Private woodland
- 🏡 The courtyard
- 🏰 Logie Country House, built in 1680
- 🌄 Views towards Bennachie
- 🐮 Highland cows
- 🪨 Three historic Pictish stones
The estate lands are recorded from
1492, so many of the settings around the grounds have a genuine historic connection rather than being created purely as wedding backdrops.
🐾 Outdoor Weddings With Your Dog
Dogs are welcome at Logie and can be included in your outdoor ceremony, photographs and wedding stay.
The private grounds and woodland give you plenty of space for walks and photographs.
Dogs simply need to be kept under proper control, particularly around the Highland cows and other livestock.

🌅 Outdoor Twilight Weddings
A later outdoor ceremony can work particularly well as part of a Twilight wedding.
Instead of following the traditional daytime wedding structure, the ceremony takes place later before moving into food, drinks, music and dancing.
You can still have photographs, speeches, cake cutting and a first dance.
The wedding remains part of your normal
2-day midweek or 3-day weekend stay at Logie.

🍽️ Food & Drink After Your Outdoor Ceremony
Wedding-day catering is provided by our long-standing catering partner,
Hudsons Catering.
Hudsons can prepare a quote around the food and style of wedding you actually want.
Wedding-day catering is charged separately from the Logie venue hire price.
For drinks on the wedding day, you can either use the
Hudsons bar or
bring your own drinks and pay corkage.
Hudsons’ bar prices are comparable to a good pub rather than inflated hotel-style wedding bar prices.

💌 Plan Your Outdoor Wedding in Scotland
If you want to get married outside but still want accommodation, proper indoor facilities and a ballroom ready if the weather changes, Logie gives you both.
You can choose from courtyard, lawn, riverside, woodland and other ceremony locations around the estate, then continue the celebration in the house and ballroom.
And because Logie is exclusively yours for a
2-day midweek or 3-day weekend wedding, you have time to enjoy the grounds rather than simply arriving for an outdoor ceremony and leaving afterwards.
