We had the absolute pleasure of getting married at Borthwick Castle, a venue rich in history and steeped in the stunning heritage of the area. The castle’s remarkable presence and centuries-old charm created a truly unforgettable backdrop for our special day. From our very first interaction, Charlotte and the entire team were warm, professional, and incredibly supportive, making the planning process feel easy and enjoyable—even from abroad. The venue itself is breathtaking. Borthwick Castle’s historic walls and majestic atmosphere completely wowed our guests—many remarked they had never experienced anything quite like it. The day felt truly magical, with the castle’s rich history adding a unique and meaningful dimension to our celebration. Dinner service was flawless—elegant, timely, and delicious—and every member of the staff was kind, attentive, and a joy to be around, even as we danced and partied late into the night. The level of care and professionalism made the whole day feel effortless. We are beyond grateful to the Borthwick Castle team for helping create a day we’ll treasure forever.

We had the best wedding day we possible could have at Dundas Castle in April 2025. From not long after we got engaged, we knew the venue was for us. The venue itself is gorgeous, and we loved that our ceremony, drinks reception and evening reception could all be held in different parts of the castle/grounds, making the day flow really nicely for our guests. There is so much history surrounding the castle and it's the perfect fairytale wedding venue. We just wanted to say the biggest thank you ever to you guys! We had the best day of our lives on Saturday and we absolutely couldn’t have done it without you. Our day ran so smoothly, there were no hiccups and that's all thanks to incredible team led by Sinead who went above and beyond. It made the day so much more enjoyable for all of us knowing that everyone was taken care of.We always felt included but never bothered in the decision making on the day! I LOVED that! All of our guests commented on how helpful the staff were and how it runs like a well-oiled machine. Offering a room for our friend who is breast feeding was such a lovely touch and much appreciated. It was the little touches we loved like our room being cleaned before our private moment, our family photos and guest book being so neatly displayed and moved down to the pavilion, or our stationery being so neatly packed up for us leaving with absolutely nothing for us to do. The accommodation is stunning and I felt like a proper princess that night. So thank you! Jill was absolutely amazing in her responses to emails, organisation, keeping us updated and being a familiar friendly face. The whole team are just fantastic. We would highly recommend Dundas Castle as a venue to all of our friends - for us it cannot be matched!

These will forever remain the greatest and most magical 3 days of my life. Duns Castle is an incredible venue for a wedding. 27 of our closest family and friends travelled from Canada and everyone was blown away from their very first view of the castle. Mr & Mrs. Hay make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. They truly care about the castle and all of their guests that attend. The staff on site is also wonderful. The breakfast, bar service (they stocked the bar with whatever we wished), grounds (especially in June, the flowers on the grounds are incredible), cottages (all within walking distance and have all the necessities for a comfortable stay) and rooms (all decorated beautifully) are all impeccable. They were not opposed to any of our requests and did their absolute best to accommodate us and our wishes. I would recommend Duns Castle to anyone who wishes to get married in Scotland. We cannot wait to visit again!

My husband and I were married at Thirlestane Castle this past June. We first discovered Thirlestane Castle online and instantly contacted them to see what it would entail for an international couple to be married there. I quickly heard back from Rhona and worked with her over the months to create the best wedding day and venue we could have imagined. We stayed in the Lauderdale Apartment at the castle for our wedding and it was an exceptional place for us to get ready at, and enjoy our time after our wedding. Rhona made our day so easy and smooth and took care of absolutely everything. I highly recommend Thirlestane Castle for your wedding day to be absolutely perfect!

Thank you very much for helping organise what was probably the best day of my life. I absolutely LOVED every second of my wedding so thank you very much for all your help in the organization and on the day itself. We have received some lovely thank you letters from the guests who all mentioned what a superb setting it was, how lovely it all looked, how delicious the food was and how smoothly it all ran. I am so happy we chose to get married at Wedderburn.

The team and venue are just simply perfection. Neidpath is perfect for couples looking for rustic, antiquated castles that haven't been renovated. We love the charm of the original structures and artworks - it is breathtaking. The views from the balconies are unbelievable and all round it is just perfection. The team were so brilliant in attending to every one of our needs - nothing was off the table. The flower arch they made for us was flawless and the candle package is an absolute must!

My husband and I planned on have a large wedding with almost 100 people. As we started planning this wedding, we started hating the idea more and more of how much time, and money, and effort went into planning this. We already had out yearly trip planned to Scotland, and I jokingly asked if he would be ok with an elopement style wedding at a castle in the UK when we went. The idea grew more and more on us. So, we reached out to our immediate family and they were ok with the idea. Of all the places we looked at this had the best packages for the price. We reached out and they sent over some many photos and fell in love instantly. But it wasn't jus the pricing and scenery we fell in love with. The wedding planner, Hannah, was so sweet and really made you feel like you were a member of their tiny town that everyone knows everyone and invites you over for dinner. We booked the wedding late December 2024 and she helped plan everything for the wedding in mid March 2025. All we did was send over our pintrest inspo and she did everything from the alter, to the reception set up, the cake, the dinner menu (all we did was pick), the first look with dad and private vow reading, managing vendors. She even asked questions we didnt even think of that really added to the overall experience of our wedding. The hotel, land, and town were just breath taking. There was not one complaint. There is nothing bad that we could say about this place. The rooms were clean and cozy. The bar and restaurant were delicious, loved cooking my steak on the lava stone. Even getting to and from Edinburg was easy. There is a busy that you can get on in the city and take it all the way through the countryside that drops you off at their driveway. And not to mention they have a farm along their driveway with alpacas. The town had a cute little tavern that the group frequented. The grounds have a lot of history. The wedding alter outside and the tree covered aisle were beautiful. Really trusted the process on this and highly recommend a small Scotish countryside wedding here.

Rae and the Winton Castle team were beyond amazing! Planning a destination wedding is never easy but Rae helped us by giving is recommendations for other vendors and made sure we had everything we needed. She knew to ask questions for things I hadn't even thought of! When the day finally arrived she and the rest of her team were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond with thoughtful touches like flying the Washington D.C. flag above the castle and coordinating the fresh flowers in our rooms with the wedding color scheme. We also booked two of the self catering cottages which were incredible and the Winton team helped us with the logistics to stock them with provisions and get everyone too and from the castle. I can't recommend them enough and I can't wait for another excuse to spend time at Winton!
