Micro Weddings and Elopements
Lochend has been at the heart of proposals, engagements, weddings and elopements for many years. While we are not specifically a wedding venue, we do welcome small (micro) weddings, elopements and celebrations that are independently organised.
Generations of Lochend guests making new memories
It's a very special thing for us when guests make Lochend part of their family traditions. Many of our guests have been coming here for years, and we have the pleasure of seeing their children grow into adults, and later bring families of their own to Lochend! Proposals, engagements, weddings and anniversaries are joyful occasions that remind us of just how special Lochend is to us and the people who stay here!

Grace & Jono
Grace has been visiting Lochend with her family for many years. She and Jono decided to base themselves, and their families and guests, at Lochend when they married. We look forward to welcoming the new Mr & Mrs Robinson back to Lochend for years to come!
Stress-free Elopements
Lochend has become a destination for Elopements - and no wonder! Elopements allow couples to prioritize their own personal experience of exchanging vows over the expectations and complexities of traditional weddings
Amelia and Ryan Harrison eloped to Lochend to get married.
