Sarah H. Sent on 15/03/2024Amazing, enchanting wedding venue!
We got married in April and we could not have asked for a more amazing, enchanting and beautiful location for our wedding. The setting of this venue is absolutely stunning, perfect for getting married outdoors with views over the loch. The barn is lovely and perfect for a DIY wedding which is what we did. There's many lovely bits and pieces that the venue has / has been left by other couple which you can use to make you're wedding exactly as you want. Hannah and Cheryl were fantastic and always close by if you needed anything at all. They were super flexible and so so so helpful with helping us with logistics, planning the day and answering our (my) tireless amount of questions! We got taken up into the hills in the land rover for some amazing photos (definitely some of my fave from the day) which was just epic! Having the venue for the entire weekend was incredible and we always felt like we were being looked after from the moment we arrived Friday to when we left Monday. The facilities in the lodge and annexe are AMAZING, our guests (and us) loved everything the place had to offer - I mean having a morning steam and hot tub on the day of your wedding isn't something any people can do! It was perfect for our large group, the kitchen and walk in fridge were perfect for the weekend and the spaces for getting ready are just phenomenal. Honestly if you don't fall in love with this venue when you visit I would be VERY surprised and we actually booked it without actually seeing it in person until not long before the wedding! The location is stunning, the team is incredible and the lodge is luxurious. Honestly made for our perfect wedding weekend for both us and our guests, it couldn't have been more specialCarrick Castle Estate's reply:
Sarah it is wonderful to hear from you and yes it was an incredible weekend - cannot believe it was nearly a year ago now since you and Stuart tied the knot! I hope you are both doing really well and enjoying married life and I hope you are planning a trip back to see us soon. PS your questions were not tireless, you were a wonderful bride and we loved planning your day. xx -

Wedding of the year
We instantly fell in love with Carrick castle as soon as we found it, the pictures were stunning and the location perfect. When we viewed it for the first time we knew we didn’t want to get married anywhere else. The staff, venue and location make it 10/10 and all our guests were blown away with the natural beauty of the place! The day was flawless thanks to Cheryl keeping everyone in check and making sure the suppliers were just as happy as the staff! They work closely with many of the suppliers we used so helped that they had a good relationship already!
We have loved being married and all our guests asked us to do it again they loved it that much!

Hi Lydia,
Thank you so much for the amazing review, it is really lovely to hear from you and I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly :) Your day was so beautiful - you were incredibly lucky with the weather and I am so grateful you and Jordan were up for a photoshoot at Craigard to be our models! We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful couple.
Please keep in touch, we would love to see you again.
Best wishes to you both,
Hannah -

The Best Venue Ever
When it came to the decision of where to get married, me and my now husband had a very clear idea of what we want on the day and, after visiting Carrick Castle Estate, we had no doubt it was a perfect place for us (it was the first and only place we have viewed in fact).
The team was so helpful all along the way: from planning, that can be a bit stressful, to the stay itself when you are so nervous before the big day, but everything is made for all of you to relax. Everything was so perfect on the day and prior it so that I sometimes joke that I wish we could get married again.
Everyone at the venue were absolute stars and we made so many memories staying there with our closest friends and family. The head of the band who we had on the day said that they've never been there before, but they really want to come again.
We ourselves want to come again, too, so are our friends who have enjoyed the surroundings, hot tubs and overall hospitality,
A massive thank you to Hannah and Darius for being so accommodating and welcoming.Carrick Castle Estate's reply:
Struan and Katya it is amazing to relive your beautiful day again and to think of all the special and personalised elements you had. For me the thing that stands out the most was seeing Katya walk down the aisle and from there everything just fell into place, as if you both took a sigh of relief and knew that from then on you could just relax and enjoy it all.
You had really fantastic suppliers and it is they who are to thank for the seamless smooth running of the day - Andrea at Studio A, Lou at Nomad Catering and Lyndsey at Clementine to name a few! But ultimately it is the two of you and all your family and friends who made it so special, so thank you for choosing to bring everyone special to you here, at Carrick Castle Estate.
We would love to have you ALL back again in the future! Keep in touch and take care, Hannah -

Our dream wedding venue
The most perfect setting to get married in! We got married at Carrick in August and from the first viewing through to checking out as a married couple the team cannot be faulted. Hannah and Cheryl were so helpful with just the right amount of input into what is ultimately a do-it-yourself venue (which is a big selling point when you have particular ideas about how you want your wedding to be). Their recommended suppliers made the planning process really enjoyable as we could trust that everyone knew the venue and the area well. The accommodation is just next level and made us all feel like we were on a luxury holiday at the same time as a celebration. Their commitment to environmental choices is impressive and was another big selling point for us. We were thrilled they could accommodate our idea of planting trees on the estate as favours for our guests. Thank you to all of the team - you made our wedding so special for us and all of our guests.

Jess and Chris your day was absolutely stunning! Seeing the two of you walk down the aisle together was very moving. And Jess your shoes and earrings still stand out - what a beautiful touch which made your personal style stand out!
Thank you for choosing to get married here with us, as you say it is a DIY venue so it is you who makes us look good and your day was just perfect.
Congratulations Mr and Mrs Court-Parmiter x -

The best day
We got married on the 30/4/22 at Carrick castle estate! We absolutely loved our time there and guests still talk about the incredible views and the accommodation! Hannah and the team were so accommodating and made everything easy in the run up to and on our big day! We had a very rainy day but despite this the day was fantastic, we loved going up to the waterfall in the jeep! We would do it again in a heartbeat! Carrick Castle has a special place in our hearts! -

We had our dream wedding at Carrick castle estate and it was everything we could have wanted and more. From the very beginning Hannah and Darius made everything so easy and accessible, with constant clear communication and understanding of how we wanted our special day to be. When the day finally came around it was just perfect. The venue itself is set in the most stunning location and we were lucky enough to have the sunshine come out for the day. We said our vows overlooking the loch with our family and friends watching on. The party continued into the barn for the evening and it was a mixture of simple elegance yet fun and relaxed. We were able to completely bespoke our day to exactly how we wanted it. My family often say how much they’d love to go back and stay for a special occasion. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, rustic location for their wedding. We wish we could do it all over again! -

Our best day ever
My husband and I got married at Carrick Castle Estate in July 2021 after we got engaged in July 2019. We chose Carrick Castle Estate the same month we got engaged, and for the two years that followed, the run up to our wedding and the work Hannah and Darius put in was impeccable. From our initial visit, to coming back up with my besties to surprise them by asking them to be bridesmaids here, and recommending excellent suppliers whilst also giving us freedom to choose our own - it was everything we could have wished for and more. The communication was excellent, and even though we had so many questions, we were never made to feel like we were taking up too much of their time. All the special touches that you could think of, Hannah was one step ahead. Because we were doing all the decor ourself we were also made to feel welcome to come back up a few times before our day to give us the time and space we needed to plan and pull everything together.
The actual day itself could not have been more perfect. I absolutely love looking at our photos (from recommender supplier Darren Mitchell) because the setting is just unbelievable. The houses are also all stunning, and the barn is so light and airy.
We had the houses for the whole weekend and our guests felt like they were on a luxury weekend away - because they were! We had a great day at our bbq the next day, catching up with all our loved ones about the day before.
Hannah and Darius have thought of everything. If I could go back I’d literally make no changes. Thank you to the team for giving us our best day. -
