Perfect for weddings of up to 50 guests, Assynt House is a unique venue which allows you to put your stamp on your day while the venue take care of the setting up and cleaning up!

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
This is very hard! One couple had a really intimate wedding in the drawing room with just their closest family and a few friends and then after drinks and canapés the rest of the guests arrived, they gathered in the garden and one of their friends "married them" all over again with everyone there, so informal and very special.
