6th June 2025 | Gordon Castle, Scotland

Gordon Castle in Moray is a historic Highland estate, renowned for its beautifully restored Walled Garden—one of the largest in Britain. Surrounded by rich countryside and steeped in 18th-century charm, it offers a peaceful escape with luxury, heritage, and nature intertwined.
It was the kind of day you dream about when planning a Scottish summer wedding — sun-dappled gardens, flowing champagne, and the unmistakable feeling of love in the air.

On the 6th of June 2025, Adele and Stewart tied the knot in the breathtaking gardens of Gordon Castle, surrounded by 100 of their closest friends and family. From the moment guests arrived to the final toast the next day, every detail reflected warmth, elegance, and effortless celebration.

Garden Ceremony with a Storybook Backdrop

Set among blooming flowers and under open skies, Adele and Stewart exchanged their vows in the castle’s perfectly manicured gardens. The ceremony was heartfelt and personal, with laughter, a few happy tears, and an undeniable sense of joy.

Cocktails in the Orangery & a Champagne Tower Moment

After the “I dos,” guests made their way to the stunning Orangery Room for cocktails, where a sumptuous champagne tower became the show-stopping centrepiece of the reception. Bubbly flowed freely as everyone toasted to the newlyweds, mingling in the warm afternoon glow.

Signature cocktails including an expresso martini added a modern touch to the timeless setting.

Canapés That Stole the Show

Before dinner, guests were treated to an array of beautiful canapés, served with flair and creativity:

• Tempura Prawns with Marie Rose Sauce Dip — elegantly presented in shot glasses
• Sticky Petit Sausages, glazed to perfection
• Pesto Vegetable Bruschetta
• Petit Cheese & Chilli Jam Toasties –

Each bite offered a burst of flavour — playful yet refined, just like the couple themselves.

A Feast Fit for a Castle

Dinner was a true celebration of Scottish hospitality and comfort, elevated with flair:

Starter

• Traditional Chicken Scotch Broth, served with homemade breads and rich butters

Mains

• Beef Steak Pie with duchess potatoes, tomato ragu, butternut squash purée, green stem broccoli, roast parsnip, and carrot
• Chicken Balmoral wrapped in parma ham and served with a silky whisky sauce

Desserts

• Decadent Biscoff Cheesecakewith warm Biscoff sauce and vanilla ice cream
• Refreshing Lemon Posset served with delicate lemon shortbread

As the sun dipped behind the castle walls, the celebration continued into the night with dancing, laughter, and heartfelt speeches. The energy was high, the dance floor full — and when the need for late-night fuel hit, the Thistle Signature Chip Station, and platters of finger sandwiches was a crowd favourite.
Day Two
The Celebration Continued: A Relaxed BBQ the Next Day

As if the wedding day wasn’t magical enough, Adele and Stewart welcomed over 50 guests back to the castle the next day for a relaxed and joyful BBQ in the gardens. It was the perfect way to unwind, share stories from the night before, and soak up one more day in this fairytale setting with loved ones.
From the garden vows to the BBQ farewell, Adele and Stewart’s wedding was more than just a day — it was a full experience of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

Congratulations, Adele & Stewart — your love lit up the castle.
