Choosing the Right Wedding Reception Venue

Sutton Forest is a hamlet of old country estates and hedged lanes in the south of the Highlands. Its wedding venue, Montrose House, takes weddings only and was the Badgery family's summer home for close to 150 years.

A Montrose House wedding day in Sutton Forest, step by step:

  • Getting ready: the couple prepares in the Retreat at Montrose.
  • The ceremony: vows in the heritage gardens, or under cover in the Carriage Barn.
  • A garden party: cocktails from the Greenhouse Bar, canapés and lawn games such as cricket and giant jenga.
  • The reception: Badgery Hall seats up to 130, with a dance floor beneath a crystal chandelier.
  • Later in the evening: a fire pit in the garden for the cooler hours.

Because the homestead is still a private family residence, the estate opens only for weddings and appointments to view.
