Great Wedding Venue!

Would highly recommend Branxholme Castle for simply providing a bespoke service for the whole wedding party. Carol and Brian really looked after us all day. The castle is in a lovely setting and was perfect for our small, intimate wedding. The rooms in the castle are stunning and The Orangery doubled up as a superb “night club” for the wedding disco afterwards. We got married nearly three years ago now - and I still visit and would recommend.

Perfect wedding venue

After a couple of false starts due to covid we eventually got married in this wonderful venue. Carol and Brian from the very first chat put us at ease and made sure we had made the right choice. The work behind the scenes and attention to detail was second to none from all the staff. To this day our guests still remark it was the best wedding they had been to. If you are looking for a perfect venue with incredible hosts then look no further Branxholme with Carol and Brian will create memories for life.

Great wedding venue!

Carol was so great in our wedding planning experience! Very fast and responsive to all communication. Actual venue was brilliant so clean and exactly what we were looking for. Carol totally personalised our wedding to us which made the planning such a nice experience. Everything on the day went so smoothly due to Carol! Can’t thank her enough!

Amazing Venue

We couldn't have asked for a better place to hold our wedding ceremony.
From the moment we met Carol we knew we were in great hands. She was professional yet friendly from our first initial meeting to the big day itself. The venue was the perfect place for our intimate ceremony and we couldn't fault a thing. A beautiful setting in the Scottish Borders.

We got married here.

Best story ever, it was the day after the terrible storm in Nov 21 and the power went out in the morning, the guys at Branxholme could not have been better, a generator turned up in no time, the power was back on and everything went exactly according to plan. If they can cope through that, they can do anything!

An unforgettable wedding weekend, even after Storm Arwen!

My husband and I got married at Branxholme Castle on the 27th of November 2021, the day after Storm Arwen hit. We and our guests stayed at the castle and the guest house for the whole weekend. On the morning of our wedding, we all woke up to no power due to the storm taking out various power lines, but Carol and Brian wasted no time getting a generator sent from Edinburgh. They somehow still managed to serve us breakfast and keep everything running despite the storm, power cuts, delays, and ongoing Covid restrictions.

By the time I was about to walk down the aisle, the radiators were heating up again and the show was well and truly back on the road! I honestly don’t know how they did it, but they did and it was magical.

The venue itself was absolutely spectacular, and Carol went above and beyond, taking care of so much from recommendations for catering to even sourcing a hairdresser to do my hair. Despite everything that was thrown at them, Carol and Brian made sure our day was perfect.

It was a truly special experience that we and all our guests will cherish forever. ❤️
