Alexander House
Exclusive-use country house with glamping near Auchterarder, Perthshire, for weddings and elopements.
Alexander House is a private country house in the hills above Auchterarder, Perthshire, hired for exclusive-use weddings, elopements and vow renewals. Guests sleep on site, with the main house, an annexe and glamping units in the grounds.
Why it suits LGBTQ+ couples
GLW recommends Alexander House because the whole hillside is yours for your stay. There are no other parties, no strangers in the garden and no one to explain your plans to. The wedding is run by a small team, with a private chef, so the weekend feels like a house party for the people you chose. That privacy is a real advantage if you want a relaxed, personal celebration. The venue also states an inclusivity statement within its terms.
Ceremonies
Ceremonies can be held outdoors in the gardens, with Perthshire hills and the Gleneagles landscape as a backdrop. An orangery is available for indoor ceremonies, and a pole marquee can be added in the warmer months. Smaller elopements and vow renewals are also offered, using the glamping setting for a very small group.
Receptions and food
A private chef cooks for your group, with menus ranging from relaxed wood-fired pizza to a long tasting menu. Couples can run a private bar, choose their own drinks or bring their own. Tastings, afternoon tea on arrival and breakfast the next morning all feature in the stay.
Staying
The main house and its annexe sleep a sizeable group, including a bridal suite. In the grounds there are couples-only yurts and a converted lorry, and some units are suitable for children and dogs. Exclusive-use stays run for two nights, with check-in from late afternoon.
Getting there and the area
Auchterarder sits on the A9, close to Gleneagles station, which is a short drive away. Perth and Stirling are roughly twenty minutes from the house, and Edinburgh and Glasgow are about an hour away by road. Taxis are available locally for guests without cars.
