Castle Wedding Venues in Dumfries Galloway & Ayrshire

We got married at Kinmount House in May 2025. We had approx 95 at the ceremony and 105 for the dinner. We can’t put into words how incredible the whole weekend went. Our guests were wowed by Kinmount and the wonderful team that helped make the day run so smoothly. We hired the Croft the night before and we rented all the accommodation on site for guests. The ceremony was held in the ballroom which was followed by a drinks reception in the Italian gardens then terrace area of the Pavillion. The dinner was in the Pavillion. We had a lot of moving parts on the day, especially with live music from various different groups, but nothing was too much and the day went without a hitch. We managed to get photos in the Italian gardens, steps, boathouse and in front of the house at the swing and still had time to enjoy the drinks reception without feeling rushed. When we visited the venue we blown away but the actual weekend exceed all of our expectations. From the friendly staff and great food the night before at the croft to the delicious breakfast for those staying in the main house and beautiful surroundings inside the house to the excellent food and service on the wedding day to the little touches we cannot fault anything and wish we could do it all again. Special thanks to Lauren who ensured the day went so smoothly and did so with a calm and friendly manner. Also thanks to Leeanne and Connor and Justine who played an important part over the weekend. Fiona and George were very welcoming to us and our guests and have established something very special. If you are considering booking Kinmount for your wedding do not hesitate as it is the perfect venue.

We had our wedding at Auchen Castle, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful spaces perfect for photos and a sense of timeless elegance. We stayed for two nights, and having the ceremony, reception, and accommodation all in one place was incredibly convenient and made the entire experience feel seamless. A night before meal and drinks was the perfect opportunity for guests and family from both sides to get to know each other and warm into the wedding day. Our guests are still raving about the venue, the delicious food, and the overall atmosphere. The packages offered were well-priced and included great food and drink options, making it an excellent value. If you’re looking for a place that combines beauty, charm, and exceptional service, Auchen Castle is the perfect choice - I can’t recommend them enough.

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.

We had our perfect wedding day at Rowallan Castle in May 2023. Everything from start to finish was perfect and we had so much help from the dedicated wedding planner that no question was ever left unanswered. This took so much stress away from us in the lead up to the big day. The venue is stunning, the food throughout the day was delicious and everything came out piping hot, the wedding planner and wider team were there all day and were so friendly and helpful to all of our guests. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. They were also flexible and accommodating with everything we requested so our wedding day was even more special than we could have imagined. The venue has plenty of space without feeling crowded and with accommodation available between the new and old castles we were able to have our closest family and friends stay and celebrate with us for a full weekend. We would absolutely recommend this wedding venue and wish we could do it all over again!
