Weddings and Civil Ceremonies
The elegance of the House and its estate settings make for a wedding reception which will give all you guests treasured memories of the day. Crimonmogate was amongst the earliest in Aberdeenshire to be awarded a license for civil wedding ceremonies. The weddings take place in the Great Hall that holds a capacity of sixty people, with one wedding only per day. The enchanting gardens make the perfect setting for a wedding reception where a marquee can be set up.

Companies, Organisations and Corporate Events
Business, social and professional groups have found Crimonmogate the ideal venue for that special event. It has hosted dinner parties, team building exercises and other events, including VIP visitors to companies, wedding anniversaries, retirements, birthdays and many other happy occasions. Foreign and British guests from around the region have been charmed by the Crimonmogate experience - the drama and elegance of the house. We can offer a wide range of team building activities, including:

• Quad biking
• Clay pigeon shooting
• Archery
• Helicopter hovering
• Fly fishing - casting practise
• Giant chess
• Paintballing

The area
The Crimonmogate Conservation Area is recognised by the Secretary of State for Scotland as being of unique historical and landscape interest. Recent surveys by Historic Scotland, the Scottish Wildlife Trust and the Scottish Garden History Society have established the unique importance of the estate not only as a setting for one of the last palaces to be built in Britain but also as a haven for plant life such as the fine stands of beeches and abundant wildlife.This delightful house and grounds are now available for the first time, as an exclusive venue for events. Given the truly unique nature of Crimonmogate, whether you are organising a wedding, a special garden party, or corporate event, few places in the Northeast of Scotland can compare.

Some useful facts about Crimonmogate; Britain's most easterly stately home:
Crimonmogate, an elegantly simple, proto-Doric templum in rure was designed by the celebrated neo-Classicist Archibald Simpson, who was the architect of many of the finest public buildings and country houses in Scotland during the Regency period, noticably the Music Hall in Union Street, Aberdeen; the Dollar Academy; and Stracathro House on the Angus border.

Crimonmogate is generally regarded as Simpson's finest country house. Its architecture is a uniquely successful blend of the unostentatious masculinity of the Scottish vernacular style with harmonious proportions and civilised, ordered grandeur of the neo-Greek. Crimonmogate is listed Grade A, indicating its unique historical and architectural importance.

The House is stately and yet homely, imposing and yet friendly, stylish and yet understated, ornamental and yet sparingly ornamented, palatial and yet intimate, substantial and yet manageable. Crimonmogate is one of the few stately homes in Britain that is comfortable to live in as a family home. 

Crimonmogate has now opened its doors to welcome event organisers with the opportunity to book the grounds and hall for events - in particular weddings. Why not hold the wedding ceremony in The Great Hall surrounded by painstakingly maintained grandeur of royal portraits followed by a marquee reception in Crimonmogate's beautiful grounds?

Some background information
If you are considering a corporate event venue which, in addition to Crimonmogates unique features, requires some additional surrounding geographic, historic and recreational interests, consider the North-East Neuk of Scotland, where Crimonmogate lies, as it thrusts itself boldly into the sunlit waters of the North Sea between the harbours of Fraserburgh (6 miles or 10km distant) and Peterhead (11 miles or 18km), the two busiest white-fish ports in Europe and a major source of the region's wealth.
The Buchan region shares with Salisbury Plain the distinction of having been settled by humankind at an earlier date than any other part of the British Isles. Many interesting stone-age and bronzeage archaeological sites may be visited, including the eerie remains of the palaeolithic Stone Circle of Lonmay, in a clump of trees in a field within a mile of Crimonmogate, or the fine stone burial-barrow of Memsie, just a few miles away. Almost every hilltop has the tell-tale circle of ancient trees which indicates a burial-mound. The early inhabitants of the region, like their descendants today, were attracted to it by the exceptional fertility of its soil, the abundant sea life, the wild beauty of its unspoiled coastline and the unusual clemency of its weather.
Buchan is noted for its many miles of clean and undisturbed sandy beaches, including the remote and beautiful beach at Rattray Head, just four miles from the House, where it is warm enough to bathe from May to October within the arms of the bay and seals are often seen. The estate lies two miles from the village of Crimond, for whose historic Kirk the famous musical setting of the 23rd Psalm, "The Lord's My Shepherd", was written.
The bird-sanctuary at the Loch of Strathbeg, a mile from Crimonmogate, harbours thousands of flighting birds on their annual migrations. From late October until mid-December thousands upon thousands of geese squabble their way above the estate in elegant skeins. The region's sea-going past is celebrated in one of Scotland's most haunting folksongs

Farewell to Tarwathie, adieu Mormond Hill, 
And the dear land of Crimond, I bid you farewell.' 
For I'm bound all for Greenland and ready to sail, 
In hopes to find riches in hunting the whale.

Kinnaird Head Lighthouse Museum preserves memories of the days before the last manned lighthouse in the United Kingdom succumbed to automation. Along the coast south of Peterhead stand the romantic and picturesque ruins of Slains Castle, whose sturdy walls, towering above the sea on a high cliff-top cleft with many sudden inlets, provided Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley with the inspiration for Castle Frankenstein. Close to Slains is the beautifully-situated Cruden Bay Golf Course, rated as one of the top 100 courses in the world, and just one of many first-class golf-courses within easy reach of Crimonmogate.

A well-known natural feature of the coastline close to Slains is the Bullars of Buchan, where the sea boils in and out of a series of breathtaking caves and rock arches at the foot of the rugged and steep heather-clad cliffs. The twin fishing villages of Cairnbulg and Inverallochy are only two miles from the house, and there are many other attractive, stone-built harbour villages along the coast, including Gardenstown, Macduff, Banff, Portsoy and, of course, Pennan where the cult film Local Hero was set.
