The perfect venue for your wedding or special event
Alvie House is an Edwardian style shooting lodge at the heart of the 13,000 acre Alvie and Dalraddy estates. It is home to the Williamson family, who have lived here for five generations.
The house has always been a family home and its warm and welcoming atmosphere recalls years of happy family gatherings, parties and celebrations.
The house faces south and enjoys glorious views across a small loch and native pine woodland to the majestic Cairngorm mountains beyond. Its rooms are light and spacious, traditionally decorated with period furniture and family portraits. The reception rooms include a drawing room, library, dining room and billiard room with a full-sized billiard table.
All this makes Alvie the perfect venue for:
- Weddings
- Shooting and fishing parties
- Family parties and celebrations
- Meetings, events and training courses
- Corporate entertainment
- Filming
Weddings
Alvie is a beautiful place in which to celebrate your wedding. Its traditional charm and spectacular setting provide the perfect backdrop for your special day and will help create memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
We can hold wedding ceremonies at Alvie with either a religious or humanist minister. Your ceremony can be held inside the house or, in the warmer months, beside the loch.
We can host wedding receptions in the house, and for larger parties in a marquee on the grounds that we will arrange using our preferred suppliers.
And whenever we host any event we always let the house exclusively, giving you complete privacy to enjoy your special day.
Your wedding is unique and personal to you. So we don’t offer set wedding packages. Instead we’ll plan your celebration with you, doing our best to ensure you have exactly what you want to enjoy your special day.
Catering
We can cater for any event you’d like to hold at Alvie House. Wherever possible we use produce from the estate or the local area. This includes beef, venison, lamb, grouse, strawberries and raspberries.
Accommodation
Why not make the most of your wedding celebrations or special event and stay in Alvie House for the night – or even a few nights. All the bedrooms are available and can sleep up to 17, in two double, five twin and three single bedrooms. The double bedrooms and one of the twin rooms also have en-suite bathrooms.
Combine the bedrooms in the house with Top Flat, which sleeps ten, and North Wing, which sleeps eight, and up to 35 people can stay here.
It’s the perfect way to keep your celebrations going.
Other events
Alvie House is the perfect setting for more than just weddings. We can host any celebration or event, always on an exclusive basis.
In the past, people have used the house for family get-togethers, shooting and fishing parties, to hold meetings, run training, launch products and for filming.
Whatever event you’re holding, if you need a quiet, elegant and welcoming venue in glorious surroundings, come to Alvie.
