Norwood Hall Hotel is a large hotel wedding venue in Aberdeen, Scotland. This fine Victorian mansion was built on the site of Pitfodels Castle, one of the former holdings of Clan Menzies. The castle was abandoned in the 17th century; work on Norwood Hall was completed in 1881. The hotel is conveniently located only a short drive from Aberdeen’s city centre. The hall is set amidst seven acres of secluded woodlands. The property features magnificent landscaped gardens and grounds, and the main building is approached by a lovely tree-lined avenue. The venue affords breathtaking views of the Scottish countryside and award-winning managers offer friendly service and hospitality that are second to none.

Wonderful Experience

Aimee in particular was brilliant and even came un on her day off when she only got back from Dubai at 10pm the night before as she wanted to be there on our day to make sure it was perfect. Julie was lovely too. Everything ran perfectly from start to finish, food was amazing, decor I had arranged looked perfect, we had a magical time!

Vicky Westgate & Stuart McBain Wedding

Thank you & the whole team at the Norwood that made our weekend & wedding day absolutely perfect.
For the last 6 months every time we have been into the hotel it has been an absolute pleasure, you can tell it's an amazing place because whenever we have been in it's always the same team which is rare in the leisure industry
Both myself & Stuart have stayed in hotels a lot due to work & sometimes can be super critical but on the way home from the wedding we both said the hotel & staff were outstanding we would have changed nothing, I cannot thank you all enough for helping us create the most amazing memories.

Iwona Gwizd and Frantisek Rymes Wedding

Me and my future wife visited hotel in September 2016, fall in love with this place, visited ever since on several times and In January 2017 got married here. Simple as that. food was just amazing no matter what you have chosen. And staff? after couple of minutes you feel you know them ages. All very friendly and helpful. If I ever invite some quests to Aberdeen again-Norwood is number one choice.

The time of our lives...

We had the time of our lives. Everyone was commenting on how lovely you all were. Nothing was to much for you! I even had a lovely member of the reception hold an umbrella for me. Absolutely top class service. Macdonald Norwood Hall and all the staff are amazing. You've made a girl's wedding day dream come true.

A stunning venue

My husband and I had our reception here, September 2011. As soon as I saw this place, I knew it was the one. The wow factor as you come up the drive, with the stunning hotel at the top. My wedding photos are amazing! ( Deeside photographics). We got so much in our package, that saved us a fortune. Table cloths, chair covers, centre pieces, the bridal suite, and four additional hotel rooms, also reduced rates for guests, and some other things too. The food was amazing, four courses. And the hotel was very good at accommodating special dietary requirements, and kids too. The evening buffet was good too, haggis fritters were a big hit! The best thing was, we more or less had the run of the whole hotel, our wedding was the only one on that day, unlike some other venues in the area!
