Dunglass Estate

Dunglass Estate is one of the most visually striking wedding venues in Scotland, set where dramatic coastline, ancient woodland and historic architecture come together. Located near the East Lothian coast, the estate offers a sense of scale and natural beauty that feels genuinely awe-inspiring, while still providing a well-organised and welcoming setting for weddings. From the moment guests arrive and take in the views across the grounds, it’s clear that this is a venue designed to leave a lasting impression. As Lee Live: Wedding DJ, Dunglass Estate is a place where atmosphere comes effortlessly.

At the heart of the estate is the stunning 15th-century dovecot, one of the most distinctive ceremony spaces in the country. Surrounded by stone walls and open sky, it creates an intimate yet dramatic setting that works beautifully for both religious and civil ceremonies. The sense of history combined with the natural surroundings gives ceremonies here a depth and emotion that couples and guests often comment on long after the day has passed. The nearby church within the estate grounds also offers an alternative option for couples seeking a more traditional service.

Following the ceremony, the estate encourages a relaxed and natural flow through the day. Drinks receptions often take place outdoors, allowing guests to explore the grounds, enjoy coastal air and take in the scenery before moving on to the reception space. The Pavilion, set discreetly within the estate, provides a light, spacious environment for dining and speeches, balancing the grandeur of the surroundings with comfort and practicality. This clear separation of spaces helps each part of the day feel distinct and unhurried.

Evening celebrations at Dunglass Estate benefit from the venue’s thoughtful layout and sense of seclusion. The Pavilion works exceptionally well for dancing, with ample room for a lively dance floor, my professional lighting and a DJ setup can build energy as the night progresses. Once the music starts, the contrast between the refined daytime setting and the vibrant evening party creates a memorable shift in mood. Having DJed weddings here as Lee Live: Wedding DJ, I’ve found guests fully embrace the experience, often dancing late into the night.

Accommodation within the estate allows couples and guests to stay on site, extending the celebrations beyond a single day. Being able to retreat to comfortable lodgings without leaving the grounds adds to the feeling of escape and immersion that defines a Dunglass Estate wedding. The following morning, the coastal setting and peaceful surroundings provide a calm and reflective end to an unforgettable celebration.

For couples seeking a wedding venue that combines natural drama, historic character and thoughtful modern facilities, Dunglass Estate is exceptional. Its unique setting, flowing layout and unforgettable atmosphere make it a place where weddings feel expansive, emotional and truly memorable — a venue that leaves a lasting mark on everyone who experiences it.
