Planning the Perfect Summer Wedding at Bachilton Barn

There’s something truly magical about a summer wedding in the Scottish countryside – long, light-filled days, golden sunsets, and an abundance of nature all around you. At Bachilton Barn, summer weddings are some of our favourites, and we’re already booking into 2026 and 2027 for couples dreaming of a warm-weather celebration full of relaxed charm and unforgettable moments.

If you're envisioning a summer wedding, here’s how to make the most of what our venue and the season have to offer.

The Beauty of the Summer Months

Everywhere you look at Bachilton Barn offers a potential photo moment. The rolling fields, rustic barn doors, wildflower borders, and tree-lined drive are ideal for capturing romantic, timeless images. And for those sunset shots? Our open landscape provides those soft golden-hour tones photographers love.

Outdoor Ceremonies Full of Atmosphere

Why not say “I do” in the great outdoors? Our outdoor ceremony space is a favourite during the summer months – nestled in nature, with a gentle breeze and birdsong in the background, it’s peaceful, private and unforgettable. You’ll still have the barn as a backup in case of any unexpected Scottish showers, but more often than not, you’ll be celebrating under blue skies.

Alfresco Drinks & Lawn Games

After the ceremony, enjoy a glass of fizz or a locally-inspired cocktail out on the lawn. The outside terrace and lawns are the perfect spot for guests to mingle, relax, and play a few rounds of lawn games – from giant Jenga and croquet to quirky touches like bouncy castle! It sets the tone for a laid-back and sociable celebration.

Speeches on the Terrace? Why Not!

One of our favourite summer trends? Outdoor speeches. The terrace at Bachilton Barn offers a beautiful and informal space for heartfelt words and a few laughs, all while guests stay seated with a drink in hand and the sun on their faces. It’s a refreshing twist on tradition, and one that always goes down well in warm weather.

Space to Celebrate All Day Long

With plenty of indoor and outdoor space, your summer wedding at Bachilton Barn can flow seamlessly from one part of the day to the next. Ceremony, drinks, dinner, dancing – and even fire pits and sparklers once the sun sets. Plus, with onsite accommodation including cottages and yurts, your guests won’t have to travel far after a full day of celebration.
