The Perfect Aberdeenshire Venue

I can’t say enough good things about our wedding experience at Raemoir. We were married the 6th of August, and had the most special time. From my very first correspondence with Raemoir, they were prompt, organized, and professional. This type of communication continued throughout the whole relationship. The transparency of the costs and what was included from the very beginning, as well as the location of the venue itself made it an easy pick to put down our deposit not long after getting engaged.

Neil (the owner) was always there to help out via email and Julie Love (the wedding coordinator) made planning an overseas wedding a breeze. Her decades of experience in the local wedding industry was invaluable. Although my husband grew up in the area, we planned the event from our home-base in Canada. Julie easily worked with the time difference and helped out wherever she could since we weren’t nearby. I loved getting to know her!

The two nights at Raemoir were truly a dream. To be surrounded by all your closest family and friends in one estate, to be so warmly welcomed by the owners and staff, and get to celebrate love all together…that’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is so incredibly worth it. I only wished it could have lasted longer!

The food was delicious, our long list of dietaries were thoughtfully catered to, and the rooms were so comfortable. Reena was so on top of the whole weekend and there at my elbow anytime I needed her—including helping to feed the busy bride in between socializing! Neil’s wife Julie and their daughter Emily were so attentive and thoughtful. Their two chocolate labs, Harry and Hunter, were the perfect addition to the party and all the guests loved them!

From the first time we saw the pictures of the Woodland Cathedral we knew we wanted to be married there, and we were rewarded with the most beautiful sunny day to do so. That being said, the atmosphere of the Oval Room is so gorgeous and historical, it would have made just as special of a place to have the ceremony. So many of our guests reiterated that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.

There is not a question in my mind that we made the best decision by having our wedding at Raemoir House! I wish I could live it all over again. If you are considering them for your wedding or event, book it now.

Raemoir House

We had our wedding at Raemoir house in July 25, on one of what felt like the hottest weekends of the year! From the moment we arrived on the Friday to leaving on Monday morning, we were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Julie kept us right throughout the whole process and covered every detail, which was reassuring as a bride with lots of things to worry about! Also a huge shout out to Reena, she was on the case with every element of the day and had a solution to any little issue that came up, she really was fantastic. The venue was just stunning and we had so many compliments from guests on the quality of the food throughout the weekend. Can’t thank all of the staff enough, you all made our wedding so special. Thank you!

Most magical day in my life!

Our wedding at Raemoir was the most magical day of our lives and worth every penny we spent. Our wedding was small reaching a maximum of 40 people. Everything went very smoothly and the food was outstanding. The owners and team were very welcoming and supportive throughout our stay for us, our guest and our dogs. We have been looked after during our stay, such as ensuring that we had valuable time together as a newly married couple. Leading up to our wedding we had full support and clear communication ensuring nothing was missed. We couldn’t recommend Raemoir enough the experience was incredible. I would also like to mention the opportunity to offer rooms for the guests especially when they come from far away is perfect!

Raemoir is the one!

We got married on the 31st July 2025 and the staff were nothing but amazing! Their professionalism, enthusiasm and caring about the couple and their family staying at Raemoir was what we needed. Food was exceptional, my Husband is a foody and knew when we had some of the food when we had visits and meeting the dinner was going to be incredible also and we weren't disappointed by the food, we had lovely feedback with our guests also so big shout out to the Chef Robert and the catering staff!

One of many special features about Raemoir is that you can pick a number of different areas to get married at. This can be from the Marquee to the lawn, to inside the house, to the woodland area. All is equally beautiful. Julie and Neil Rae (owners) Julie Love (Wedding Co-Ordinator), Reena and all the staff, have been a joy to work alongside, sad that we have no excuses to come to Raemoir now.

No faults we can give, except the weather on our Wedding Day😅

Raemoir House


We had the absolute best experience at Raemoir House for our wedding, and we can’t recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, Julie and the team were incredibly professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The venue itself is stunning and it created the most beautiful backdrop for our celebration.

Every detail was handled with care, and we felt so supported throughout the planning process and on the big day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the space was, how seamless everything felt and how amazing the food was. If you’re looking for a venue that’s not only beautiful but also backed by a passionate and dedicated team, Raemoir House is the one!

Unforgettable weekend

From the minute I walked in the door on Friday afternoon I knew we had made the best decision. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The staff are both attentive and discreet and create a warm and welcoming environment.
The food was fantastic, the grazing table a huge hit and more substantial than canapés.
No stress, no nerves just love and laughter all weekend. We wouldn’t have changed a thing. Cannot recommend this venue highly enough 🥰
