Better than we expected and we had high expectations!

Neidpath is a fantastic venue to get married at. Its quirky nature means your wedding will stand out against all others. Everyone we dealt with before, during, and after our wedding was absolutely incredible. They did everything they could to take as much of the planning away from us as they could. I could not recommend Neidpath Castle and the team highly enough for your event.

A perfect day

We had a perfect day for our wedding and this is down to the great support we got from the Neidpath staff throughout the wedding planning and beyond. The castle itself is stunning, rich history and can be made up to as grand or as minimal as you would like it. The warmth we received from all the team made us want to made it all again! Thank you.

The castle is absolutely spectacular, but the real star is Sandy!

The castle itself is stunning and was absolutely perfect for our intimate wedding. It was a bonus that we were able to stay overnight in the castle. The real star of the show, however, is Sandy! She went above and beyond at every step. She was responsive, friendly, and so incredibly helpful! I highly recommend Neidpath and its crew! I only wish we could get married there again!

Our Fairytale Castle

We fell in love with Neidpath Castle as soon as we stepped in the door and who wouldn't. They have retained its historic features with the modern touches (plumbing) to make it comfortable.
We had our wedding in May 2023, the blossoms were still out and the weather was perfect.
Soon as we booked Neidpath castle, Sandy was our main contact and she was just spectacular. Sandy helped in any way she could with video calls, responding to emails at all hours and arranging visits for us and our suppliers. She had great suggestions for our wedding and let us run with our own ideas too.
What you need to know:
You arrange your own catering/bar etc. They will give you some supplier contacts but you can also use your own if they sign their contract.
Maximum numbers are around 94. This is a tight fit for dinner.
They have flower and candle packages you can use but not pressure to use.
You get 2 nights stay in the castle and cottage next door
Lots of stairs... just be aware
Plenty plug sockets etc for bands, DJs
Fully functioning kitchen

All you need to know is, if you are considering a castle in Scotland for your special day, you need to visit Neidpath castle. Thank you Sandy and Neidpath castle for helping our fairytale come true. ❤️

June Wedding at Neidpath - The Best Day

We had found Neidpath originally through a google search, and couldn’t believe such an amazing venue actually existed! We fell in love with it from the start, and couldn’t be happier that we booked it for our wedding day. We got a two nights stay in the castle as well which was the cherry on top. Once we booked the castle, we also had Rachel helping us with every step
Of our wedding planning process. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and always calmed us down if we were stressed. :) We literally couldn’t have planned our day without her, and she was there on the day to help as well make sure everytbing went smoothly.

The wedding day was an absolute dream. The guests loved the castle and getting to explore around on the day. It also made for some excellent photos. I can’t recommend this venue enough if you’re considering booking, do it!!

The perfect day!

Neidpath Castle was the only place we viewed, and we knew immediately that this was the most perfect venue. Sandy, David and the entire team, were extremely professional and welcoming throughout the entire wedding journey. Being handed the keys to an entire castle was simply surreal! Both the team and the location were serene and peaceful, and keep both bride and groom calm throughout the day.

An amazing venue and team!

Our wedding at Neidpath Castle was absolutely incredible! From the moment we decided to get married here, Sandy was fantastic, helping us to coordinate and plan our day. Sandy was so friendly, helpful and we felt in very safe hands during the whole planning process. The day itself went so smoothly and we were so grateful to Sandy and Innes for looking after us!

Neidpath as a venue is just stunning. Our guests loved it and it was an incredibly special place to get married. Thank you!

Unforgettable day

An unforgettable day in incredible surroundings. Neidpath Castle is the perfect representation of everything we love about our relationship - full of stories, warm, and fun. Our wedding, however, would have been impossible without the professional and tireless support provided by the team at Neidpath. Sandy and Val were open to all our suggestions about how to customise the castle - no matter how weird! Their hard work, experience, and wonderful attitudes helped the day go perfectly. Can't recommend highly enough!

Everything was just perfect, even the weather

For the majority of the guests it was their first to Neidpath and they all commented on how magnificent a venue it was. Most people had thought it was a ruin and were surprised when they stepped inside and were able to explore it. Many of them also said how lucky Gillian and David were to be spending the night there. It is now on the wish list of my son's girlfriend to spend a night there when they next visit from Texas.

Thank you once again for making it a day to remember for everyone.
