               EVENTS IN THE
                HEART OF THE
                 HIGHLANDS

    We are delighted that you have chosen to consider Macdonald Aviemore
    Resort as the setting for your special celebration or event, or for the most
    special day of your life, your wedding.

    Set against the Craigellachie Nature Reserve, in the heart of the Cairngorms
    National Park, we have a truly special location and spectacular backdrop for
    your photographs.

    And inside is no different. Each of our 3 hotels in the resort are 4-star with all
    the home comforts you would expect. For larger families and groups we have
    woodland lodges nestled in the resort grounds.

    Whatever size of event you're looking for, we can make it happen. Enjoy an
    intimate celebration in one of our elegant function rooms, an extravagant
    wedding in our Osprey Arena or an outdoor marquee with views of
    the mountains.

    With a highly experienced Events & Wedding Team you can trust us to
    make sure that the day you have envisaged is not only brought to life but
    truly memorable.

           Thank you so much for all your hard work in
           helping to organise our daughter Roseanna’s
           wedding. It was a perfect day in every respect.

     wonderlands, we’ve got packages all year round.

     We can also create longer packages for you to spend precious time with your

     perfect wedding for you.

THE CELEBR ATION

    Celebrate a special occasion at a magical location in the heart of the
    Cairngorms National Park. Host beautiful engagements, birthday parties,
    christenings, graduations and more all in the centre of Aviemore.

    ENGAGEMENT PARTIES
    Get your friends and family together in one place to celebrate your
    engagement. We’ve got lots of private rooms of all sizes and great outdoor
    space too.

    PRE-WEDDING CELEBRATIONS
    Aviemore is after all a perfect place for a short break. So why not have one
    last hurrah before your big day? How about whisky tasting and a cocktail
    masterclass, beauty treatments or something more active from quad trekking
    to sight-seeing.

    CHRISTENINGS
    Not only do we have our own little chapel in the resort perfect for
    christenings we can do informal parties for naming ceremonies too.

    BIRTHDAY PARTIES
    Whether it’s a birthday party for little ones in Aviemore Activity Centre or a
    milestone birthday extravaganza we can make it simply magical.

    AVIEMORE STAYCATION
    Why not extend your celebration and make the most of your time together
    in the Highlands ? With so much to see and do literally on your doorstep you
    will have wished you stayed for longer.

           We just wanted to say a big thank you for all the
           hard work that went into making Saturday such
           a success. We all had a lovely day and the hotel
           and staff couldn’t have done more to make it so
           special. The room looked wonderful with all the
           candles and low lighting and so many people
           commented on the delicious meal.
