Dryburgh Abbey Hotel Reviews (79) Write a review Perfect Venue Service By Gillian and Steve, on 01 Jan 2019Date of Wedding - 18 Aug 2018 We got married on 18/08/18 at the Dryburgh. From the second we met Jules and the team at the venue and seen the amazing setting we were hooked. We live in West Lothian but my husband is from the borders. We wanted something that was different and had the rustic settings which we both love. Jules went out her way to make us both feel at home, when we were there. On the day we were all set up for an outdoor wedding, then the showers started just as the guests went to they’re seats. Within 15 minutes Jules and her team had got all the chairs from outside and had set up in one of the stunning rooms. The food was amazing, the turn around of the room was very quick. All in all we would recommend the Dryburgh Abbey hotel, as a top venue to get married.Thank you all. Venue Service By Minna, on 04 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 08 Aug 2018 Dear Jules, a very delayed thank you for all you did for Greg and I. From the very beginning you made us feel so special and I can't imagine a more attentive and helpful person to have walked us through the process of planning a wedding. Despite the weather being very touch and go in the morning, I am forever grateful we were able to do the ceremony outside! A huge thank you also to the entire events team.Dear Jules Venue Service By Lauren and Lee, on 30 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 06 Jul 2018 Lee and I cannot thank you and the team enough for making our wedding so beautiful. We had an absolutely spectacular day. You and everyone there (especially your husband) went above and beyond. We are so grateful for everything.Thank you! Venue Service By Lottie and Gil, on 24 Dec 2018Date of Wedding - 27 Jan 2018 We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff in helping with our wedding. We initially picked Dryburgh due to how welcoming and accommodating the staff were as that was what we were looking for. Our plans were a little different so we couldn't just have an 'off the shelf wedding'. From the beginning the hotel and staff were amazingly lovely and helpful. We had so many compliments on the food.Thank you all Venue Service By Elise & Neil, on 12 Mar 2016We wanted to thank you for all your help in making our wedding day such an amazing experience for us and our guests.
