Your Unforgettable Day, Our Unforgettable Setting...

Steeped in history, the iconic Lews Castle has been a centre of activity and intrigue since the early 19th century. Overlooking Stornoway harbour on the Isle of Lewis, the impressive Gothic Revival castle was built in the mid-1800s by Sir James Matheson, a wealthy merchant who transformed the surrounding grounds into picturesque woodlands. Since then, this beautiful building has served as a Second World War hospital, a college, and a school. Today, it stands as an iconic wedding venue and luxurious holiday destination managed by Together Travel.

The Isle of Lewis continues to earn its place as one of Scotland’s most remarkable destinations, with Lews Castle ranked the #1 thing to do in Stornoway on TripAdvisor. The island’s appeal is further enhanced by the Outer Hebrides being named one of National Geographic’s Best of the World destinations. From pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear waters to a rich heritage and breathtaking landscapes, this extraordinary island offers an unforgettable setting for your wedding celebrations.

We want to ensure every part of your wedding is tailored to you, creating a perfect experience and lifelong memories. We offer a range of catering options to suit all tastes and budgets and are here to help with any additional requirements. From recommending trusted local suppliers to sharing our own top tips, your wish is our command.
