About

Glen Tanar is a sprawling Estate that was originally formed in 1865. Surrounded by Caledonian pine forests and riverfront views, it features several cosy holiday cottages, an on-site chapel, and a stunning Victorian Ballroom. Glen Tanar is home to various excellent event sites, allowing you to host every phase of your celebration at one venue.

You can host a traditional wedding ceremony in the Chapel of St. Lesmo, situated just a short walk across the meadow from the main property. Or, exchange vows on the stunning banks of the Trout Loch. After your ceremony, you and your guests can move into the spectacular Ballroom for an evening of dinner and dancing.

The ballroom has vaulted ceilings adorned with over 700 antlers, original oak floors, a roaring open fire, and a beautiful grand piano. Manicured lawns surround the space for an outdoor reception or activities, with plenty space to erect a marquee. This space can accommodate up to 140 guests plus additional evening guests. You and your guests will enjoy having exclusive access to this venue and experiencing Victorian grandeur in a private setting.

On offer, there is a range of wedding packages that suits different needs and budgets, which includes the use of the ballroom, getting-ready suites, a fully-equipped catering kitchen, round banquet tables and chairs, tableware, glassware, garden furniture, and garden games. We work with some of Scotland's best caterers, who would be happy to create a custom menu for your special day. You and your guests can also rent one of the seven eco friendly cottages if you'd like to extend your time on the property and enjoy all the area has to offer.

Our biomass system efficiently provides hot water and heating to our cottages and Ballroom, ensuring a warm and comfortable experience for you and your guests. Not only does this make the spaces nice and cosy, it also makes them highly sustainable—so you can enjoy your visit without worry.
