Melville Castle

Melville Castle is a grand Scottish country house wedding venue set within beautiful woodland and parkland just outside Edinburgh. Steeped in history and surrounded by mature trees and landscaped grounds, it offers couples a setting that feels both stately and romantic. The castle’s elegant architecture and peaceful surroundings create a calm, timeless atmosphere that makes weddings here feel intimate despite the scale of the building. As Lee Live: Wedding DJ, Melville Castle is a venue where celebrations unfold with natural grace and flow.

The interiors of Melville Castle combine historic character with refined modern comfort. Ornate detailing, high ceilings and classical proportions give the rooms a sense of grandeur, while thoughtful restoration ensures warmth and usability for contemporary weddings. Ceremonies can be held indoors within the castle or outdoors within the grounds, allowing couples to shape the day around their vision and the season. This flexibility makes the venue suitable for both traditional and modern wedding styles.

One of Melville Castle’s strengths is the way the wedding day moves through its spaces. Drinks receptions often take place in the grounds or reception rooms, followed by dining and speeches in elegant function spaces, before the celebrations move into the evening. This progression gives the day a clear rhythm, helping guests feel relaxed and engaged at every stage. From a DJ’s perspective, it creates the perfect structure for building atmosphere gradually rather than forcing energy too early.

Evening celebrations at Melville Castle are warm, lively and full of character. The main reception spaces are ideally suited to dancing, with room for lighting, sound and a DJ setup that enhances the mood without overwhelming the surroundings. Once the party begins, the castle’s historic interiors provide a striking backdrop for a vibrant dance floor, creating a contrast between refined architecture and joyful celebration. Having DJed weddings here as Lee Live: Wedding DJ, it’s a venue that consistently delivers memorable evening receptions.

On-site accommodation allows couples and guests to stay within the castle, extending the celebrations into a relaxed and immersive experience. Being able to enjoy the evening fully and retire just steps away from the party adds to the sense of ease and indulgence that defines weddings at Melville Castle. The following morning, the peaceful woodland setting offers a calm and reflective end to the celebrations.



For couples seeking a wedding venue that combines historic elegance, natural beauty and warm hospitality, Melville Castle is an outstanding choice. Its balance of grandeur, intimacy and flexibility makes it a setting where unforgettable weddings — and unforgettable parties — come together effortlessly.
