weddings

Loch Morlich is a beautiful and romantic setting. Couples do get married on the beach and these tend to be mainly small, informal ceremonies. Loch Morlich Watersports is an activity centre and the business does not cater for weddings.

If you are planning to get married on the beach you need to inform Forestry and Land Scotland - enquiries.north@forestryandland.gov.scot

They have guidelines for such events and a calendar to ensure that there are not multiple ceremonies on the same date/time and that weddings do not clash with other events.

Loch Morlich Watersports hope that this information is helpful and wish you all the best with your wedding plans.
