February 6th 2026

An outdoor centre might not be the first place you think of for a wedding — but it works beautifully. As they say, it’s all about location, and Ardentinny is hard to beat. With churches in nearby villages, the centre itself, or even a beachfront ceremony on the loch, there are plenty of options for saying “I do”. We’ve hosted weddings before, and they’re always great fun — especially for couples with an outdoorsy crowd who want to enjoy activities together before or after the big day. With 34 flexible bedrooms sleeping between one and six guests, the centre can accommodate up to 130 people, making it easy to host everyone from close family to larger groups of friends under one roof. A spacious dining hall provides plenty of room for your wedding meal and a lively ceilidh, while the centre’s generous communal spaces offer relaxed areas for guests to socialise, unwind, and enjoy the atmosphere throughout the weekend.So think outside the box and celebrate your wedding at Ardentinny Outdoor Centre.
