Choosing to get married at Kinmount House is one of the best decisions could have made for our day. From our first visit we were sold on everything about the venue. Having a package to work from gave us piece of mind regarding price and arrangements for the day. All of the staff we worked with in planning for the day were fantastic in helping us illustrate our plans. Everyone was hugely supportive and very professional which assured us that we had made the right decision. Being able to set up for the day and stay on site was of huge benefit as it took stress out of the wedding day itself. The cottages were perfectly kept and organised, all of our guests were very pleased with the space and luxury of the cottages. The day itself ran like clockwork thanks to the amazing staff at Kinmount House. The timeline was expertly followed and communicated to us so that we could relax in our own wedding preparations. Everyone was on the exact same page and it felt perfectly coordinated. All of our guests remarked on how beautiful the House was, how it was excellently maintained and how much of a hidden gem we had come across. The expansive grounds and organisation of the day meant that it felt continuous and considerate, without feeling rushed at any point. From the start of the wedding until the last guests left, it ran seamlessly. We are so grateful for everyone we've had the pleasure of working with at Kinmount House. In the lead up to the wedding Lauren and Justine were a fantastic help, special mention to Scott, Erin, David and Yasmin for all of their hard work and coordination on the day. Their work was exceptional and they made sure to keep us looked after as well as all of our guests. They tended to us with a special care and consideration that made our day perfect. We would recommend to anyone to visit Kinmount House when they have the opportunity and feel privileged that we were able to start the rest of our lives there.

We just got married here a few weeks ago, and everything was perfect! My husband and I were a bit worried because we never saw the venue in person beforehand, but within minutes of arriving we were stunned by the perfection. We wanted something cozy, intimate, classic, and it was all these things. My one issue was that I think the Scots are a little more chill overall with the wedding planning, so after booking the small package (we had 30 guests), they didn’t really reach out for any follow up questions. However, I emailed any time I had thoughts/questions and they responded within a week everytime. Looking back, I was worried for no reason because they had everything covered so well, and they were able to accommodate requests. Food was 10/10 (our package included breakfast, dinner, and an evening buffet + the extras we added the night before), staff was 10/10 and venue was 10/10. Definitely recommend. Just so stunning and magical and truly great staff.

After a proposal on the beach at the foot of the cliff, booking Culzean Castle as our wedding venue was the only logical choice. We met with Catriona and were wowed by how many ceremony spaces the venue offers and types of wedding it can cater for. We choose to have an elopement style wedding in the camellia house with just our parents in attendance and it was magical. Not only is the venue and all its beautiful photo opportunities fabulous, the staff are truly wonderful and I cannot praise our coordinator Catriona highly enough. She was warm and friendly from the very first meeting and made us all feel so at ease and looked after. She allowed us to make the most of the beautiful castle and grounds and even became our buggy driver to get us to each area. If you’re looking for a wonderful venue hosted by the most kind and attentive person and team, look no further than Culzean Castle. Thank you Catriona and the whole team.

Having our wedding here just make it perfect. A real fairytale and a wonderful start to married life.

We were married at Dunskey recently, and I've been composing this in my head in the week since we left. I've had to conclude that no words are sufficient for capturing what a magnificent, special place Dunskey is. As a (self-described) perfectionist planning my wedding, I knew from the first time I spoke with Anne and Ali that I could trust them to deliver on one of the most important day of our lives. Yes, the place is as gorgeous as the photos would suggest, and yes, the food is some of the best we've ever had, but beyond that, what is impossible to capture in words and photos is the joy and dedication that goes into every event. Each member of the staff contributed to the success of our weekend (a special shout out to Lana and Chloe for fielding my endless emails and messages leading up to and during the event). Our guests have not stopped raving about their experience, and many have said it was the best wedding they've ever been to. No detail is spared in the planning and execution of a Dunskey event, but more importantly, the care, personal attention and relationships set Dunskey apart. It is truly a magical place.

Couldnt have imagined a more beautiful place to have our ceremony, very fairy tale and romantic. Lauren and her team were amazing and so accommodating, i couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you are looking for a stunning venue for your reception, this is it!
