Description: Your wedding day is one of the most important and special days of your life, but choosing Dunblane Hydro as the venue can make it even more magical. We have more than a century of experience getting marriages off to the happiest of beginnings, whether you share the day with just a few or up to 370 guests.
Although the setting is palatial you donÂt have to have the income of royalty to pay for it. We can work with any budget to create the wedding of your dreams  whether you choose the hotel for the reception, evening party or even the ceremony itself. From food to photographs, everything will be perfection.
From the ceremony (in the hotel if you wish, civil or religious), to the strains of a traditional piper welcoming the guests, to memorable photographs in spectacular settings, to stunning food and great entertainment. At the Hydro we provide that authentic total Scottish wedding experience which has endeared Madonna and a string of famous names to celebrate in this land.
Our caring philosophy really comes into its own. Let us look after your special day, your every whim and need. Booking a wedding at Dunblane Hydro is not the customary frustrating experience, nor the anonymous transaction. All our friendly staff are there for you to ensure that from the time you call on us until the moment you leave our care, a wedding at the Hydro is a memorable experience. A complete cocktail of celebration. We have listened to our guests and built an enviable reputation for genuine dedication to please.

Additional details: Dunblane Hydro leisure
Dunblane Hydro has created a leisure club that looks good and will definitely make you feel great.
Triangle Health and Fitness Club, built as a separate complex within the hotel grounds, with swimming pool, gym, spa, solarium, steam room, sauna and beauty salon is a popular attraction for all ages. A leisure club Âpar excellenceÂ, where guests enjoy an unsurpassed range of facilities on offer under one roof. One of the few hotels in the areas with indoor leisure facilities.
Although Dunblane Hydro is run primarily as a luxury country mansion house hotel and resort, we do offer exclusive use for your wedding, corporate event or business conference or convention, or private party.
Maximum single accommodation for 200 guests, double or sharing for 370. The bedrooms can of course be relet to your guests to reduce the exclusive use fee.
Exclusive use of the house offers much more flexibility of arrangements and timings. Be ÂLord and Lady of the Manor for a day or two, with the whole of the hydro, its majesty and grandeur and its extensive grounds at your disposal. Enjoy the relaxed and tranquil serenity and magical charm of rural Central Scotland.
