A magical venue
A magical venue. Every detail is well thought through from the perfectly manicured garden to the finishing touches inside the house to the bar and patio on the sea. It’s like one of those places you only see online but it’s real. If you haven’t seen Dougarie Boat House in person, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

A truly incredible venue!
A truly incredible venue! We were married there 12th August 2023 and it was magical. Breathtaking location, beautiful building and Malin the event organiser was brilliant from start to finish, there wasn't a request she couldn't fulfill or a problem she couldn't solve. Joel in the bar was so helpful, friendly and sorted everything we wanted in a quick and friendly manner. If you want a truly top quality, unique and memorable Scottish wedding, choose this venue!

Boathouse Wedding
We had our wedding at the Boathouse on 29th June 2023. The venue is so beautiful, our guests are still talking about it now! The events organiser Malin was really helpful in the run up to the wedding and was there on the day to help make sure everything ran smoothly. Joel and Sarah who ran the bar were attentive and lovely (Sarah even gave us a song on the karaoke - what a chanter!). It was a really beautiful day and we will cherish the memories always.

We got married at The Boathouse on the 3rd of June 2023. Our day couldn’t have gone any better. We truly had the best day of our lives. The weather was magnificent and the views were breathtaking.
Pre wedding organising was super smooth as easy. Malin made us feel so relaxed and nothing felt a bother the day before. Thank you for seeing our vision and bringing it to life. We truly had a magical day. Our photographer has captured the most beautiful scenery of The Boathouse, it’s a little gem of a place to mary. We couldn’t recommend it enough.
Thank you again for everything
