From the first moment we contacted Lochnell Castle they were brilliant, always responded quickly to questions and worked around our schedule for viewings. Sophie was amazing, showed us, our family and suppliers round the venue multiple times always working within our time frame. Value for money is great, we had the entire grounds and a whole section of the castle to ourselves. Would definitely recommend finding suppliers early so they can come to the venue in advance to have a look around. An absolutely beautiful setting, can't think of a better place to get married!

In celebration of our marriage, my new husband (!!), family, and guests had the dreamiest weekend at Borthwick Castle. Every single detail was flawlessly managed and executed. The team running the castle was kind, helpful, and welcoming. I couldn't imagine a more magical place to host such an important life event.

We have had the most wonderful experience getting married at Barony Castle. We first visited for a wedding open day and we were blown away by how beautiful the Elibank Suite is. Barony had everything we were looking for; stunning ceremony space, the right amount of privacy for our day, beautiful grounds for pictures, lots of space for our guests to stay. Hannah (wedding co-ordinator) was exceptional. She was an invaluable part of our wedding planning with her guidance, communication, organisation and pre-wedding meetings. She co-ordinated the day so perfectly for us, everything ran so smoothly and we appreciate her lead in this. The food is stunning. The staff are amazing. We were so looked after from our first visit and every time we have been. There is so much included in the wedding packages on offer, we were so appreciative about how transparent they were and nothing was too much to ask. We found that other venues almost tripped you up with extras that you would have to pay but Barony were so clear and we feel we got so much for our money. They have lots of recommended suppliers, Beautifully covered provided stunning decor for our ceremony and had lots more on offer. We feel that they truly wanted us to have the day we dreamed of and delivered it seamlessly. We had a perfect wedding day and Barony Castle will forever have such a special place in our hearts.

We had our wedding at Dundas Castle and cannot recommend it highly enough. The entire experience was exceptional, thanks to the wonderful team, especially Ellice and Aileen. Before the wedding, Aileen, the events manager, walked us through the whole itinerary. She made sure we felt completely comfortable with every detail. On the day, Ellice was truly outstanding. She kept everything running seamlessly, anticipated what we needed, and appeared exactly when we needed her. From running up and down the Auld Keep steps trying to find my makeup top-up kit, to rescuing my veil from our photographer’s hat, to guiding us to every important moment she made the day feel effortless! I didn’t look at my phone once because I knew she had everything in hand. She coordinated our vendors beautifully and ensured all our guests were well looked after. We stayed at Dundas for two days, which made the celebration feel so relaxed and special. The value for what we spent was excellent we had looked at several castle venues near Edinburgh and were able to enjoy two full days at Dundas for the cost of just one day at other venues we considered, without compromising on quality. Another huge benefit was their incredible relationships with vendors. Many of our, including the falconry and whiskey tasting through Maximillion Events and performers from Deadly Acts Theatre, already knew the space well, which made everything run even more smoothly. The castle itself is magical, and you can decorate it up just as you envision it, for us that was gothic and romantic and it was perfect. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, and our families felt completely at home. Our guests also loved the warm hospitality from the entire Dundas team everyone was so friendly and attentive. And of course, the friendly alpaca and the sweet castle doggos were such a charming bonus and a delight for our guests. We’re so grateful to Dundas Castle, Aileen, Ellice, and the whole team for giving us a wedding we will cherish forever. If you’re considering this venue, we wholeheartedly recommend it.

Our wedding at Blair Castle on 20th July 2024 was absolutely amazing! The team were brilliant from start to finish. Karen was really helpful and responsive throughout and Lesley who coordinated on the day was amazing, you could tell she really cared about making our day special and it really was! The location is amazing and we also loved the lodges that we and some of our guests stayed in, which were on the estate. Everything went so smoothly and all our guests had a great time. I would highly recommend Bliar Castle as a place to have your wedding!

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!

From day one at Dunvegan, Ro (Events Manager) was incredible. She was pleasant, professional and nothing was too much for her to organise. She took the time to show us round and as we are from out of area made sure that her responsiveness was quick both over email or by phone. Dunvegan Castle was picturesque and our photos were perfect. Everyone had a great time and the service was exceptional.

Not only is this the most incredible venue in Scotland and possibly the world, but the staff and service they offer is truly remarkable. Where else would you actually be treated like royalty??? You are made to feel so special and the place is your own for your entire event. The venue is pure magic. We didn’t even see it and had never been to Peebles but Sandy (who is the most wonderful person in all of Scotland) helped us with absolutely everything. From catering, to helping us plan, and bring our very unique vision to life. She always made space for us, was kind, compassionate and went the extra mile to mile. Every time! We are so grateful. Everyone who came said it was by far the best wedding they’d been to in their entire life. For us, it was such a gift to share this experience and this magical place with the people we love.

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.
