Ceremonies

Your Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony itself can take place either in the Restaurant or Lounge and we are able to provide witnesses if required. A Scottish piper can be arranged for you to celebrate in style and the evening can be rounded off with Ceilidh dancing accompanied by a two piece band.

A Marriage Ceremony conducted in the Hotel may take the form of a Religious Ceremony, which must be conducted by an Approved Celebrant (e.g. this may be a Church of Scotland Minister) whom you should also make contact with as soon as possible and whose details the District Registrar will require before the marriage takes place; or a civil ceremony – a non-religious ceremony conducted by a registrar.

By law both parties to a proposed civil or religious marriage are required to submit Marriage Notice Forms to the Registrar of the District in which the marriage is to take place. The District Registrar for Port Appin is in Oban and is:
Mrs. Gemma Cummins
Oban Registrar,
Lorn House, Albany Street, Oban, PA34 4AR
Telephone 01631 567930
Office Hours of Business : Monday - Friday 9.30am-3.00pm

It is essential before you finalise the arrangements for your wedding that you make contact with the District Registrar for the Oban District, whose details appear above. You will obtain the necessary advice regarding the Legal Preliminaries to Marriage in Scotland and the appropriate documentation will be sent to you.
