Delaney wedding


We came to view Muckrach around a year and a half ago and knew straight away it was exactly what we wanted for your wedding.

Fast forward to August 2025 we couldn’t have been happier with how our day and weekend went. We had the house and the lodges for a few days. All of our guests and suppliers were amazed with the venue.

We absolutely loved having our wedding celebrations here and couldn’t have done it without the incredible help of the team and flexibility we were given. Donnie was incredible and made everything seem completely hassle free.

If anyone is considering this as their venue we would highly recommend it! We can’t wait to hopefully come back one day.

Our Perfect Autuminal Wedding October 2024

We had the most wonderful experience getting married at Muckrach House in Scotland. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the perfect surroundings,peaceful, romantic, and truly breathtaking. We had visited twice before the run up to the wedding and when we arrived we were still taken aback by its beauty. The house itself strikes the ideal balance between being homely and cosy yet stylish and elegant, making it the most welcoming setting for such a special occasion.

The décor throughout the venue is beautifully done, creating an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and intimate. Every corner was picture-perfect, and it provided the most stunning backdrop our wedding photographs turned out absolutely magical thanks to the beauty of the location.

A huge part of what made our wedding so seamless and memorable was our coordinator, Lindsay. She was an absolute joy to work with warm, approachable, and incredibly supportive. She guided us through every step, offered thoughtful options for suppliers and ensured that everything came together perfectly.

We would also like to thank Jo, who looked after the house and was always on hand to help with any query, big or small.

Every aspect of our wedding day at Muckrach House was absolutely perfect, from start to finish. We will treasure the memories forever and cannot recommend this beautiful venue and its incredible team highly enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
