My husband and I held our wedding at Auchen Castle on 20th July this year, and we were absolutely blown away!
The staff were honestly amazing, nothing was too much trouble both in the run up to the wedding & on the day itself. My wedding planning approach was rather chaotic so poor Sarah and Lynne had to respond to quite a lot of emails with random things i’d suddenly remembered, but they always responded promptly and were so lovely every time.
We stayed at the castle the night before the wedding with a lot of family and the wedding party & the bbq they put on for us was 10/10. It was such a lovely relaxed start to our wedding weekend and I’d highly recommend you take the night before option if you can!
The wedding day itself truly blew all expectations out of the water. In the morning while I was getting ready with the bridesmaids, Lynne and the staff were great, bringing up some bubbles and our breakfast orders (delicious!) so we could have a leisurely morning in the bridal suite. They kept checking in with us to make sure we didn’t need anything, and then later brought up a fruit platter my mum had ordered for us which was the biggest fruit platter i’ve ever seen & so gorgeously laid out.
The rest of the day flew by, but we were so well looked after throughout and the staff were so efficient but also just really lovely. Dinner far surpassed any food I’ve ever had at any other wedding - everyone adored their meals and friends & family are still raving about it to us whenever they see us!
We’re so happy we had our wedding at Auchen and I cannot thsnk & recommend them enough for making our day as special & fun as it was. -

We had our wedding at Auchen Castle, and it was truly a dream come true. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel like royalty—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful spaces perfect for photos and a sense of timeless elegance. We stayed for two nights, and having the ceremony, reception, and accommodation all in one place was incredibly convenient and made the entire experience feel seamless. A night before meal and drinks was the perfect opportunity for guests and family from both sides to get to know each other and warm into the wedding day.
Our guests are still raving about the venue, the delicious food, and the overall atmosphere.
The packages offered were well-priced and included great food and drink options, making it an excellent value. If you’re looking for a place that combines beauty, charm, and exceptional service, Auchen Castle is the perfect choice - I can’t recommend them enough. -

I don't know where to begin describing how perfect our wedding day was at Auchen Castle.
From start to finish, the team at Auchen Castle were amazing. We live pretty far away, so having the All Taken Care of Package took the stress out of finding trusted suppliers. The venue inside and outside is beautiful in any season and had so much for our guests to explore and enjoy. We did the 'Linger Longer' addition to celebrate with our guests on the Friday night ahead of the wedding on Saturday, and I would really recommend it. All of the food was exceptional, and special dietary requirements were provided for with no fuss. But most of all, it's the team at Auchen Castle that really made our day perfect. They couldn't do enough for us. We had a lot of surprises and intricacies that had to be choreographed perfectly throughout the day. They took all the stress away and nailed it! It was a jam packed day but it ran completely to time, and everything went smoothly.
I cannot recommend having your wedding at Auchen Castle enough. A huge thank you to the team for going above and beyond! -

We fell in love with Auchen Castle the very moment we saw it.
We took advantage of having the venue for 2 nights and used all the recommended suppliers.
There are no words I could used to describe just how magical the whole weekend was.
The staff give a level of service unparalleled to anything else.
If you are genuinely looking for a fairy tale wedding, then look no further. -

We had our wedding at Auchen Castle on a beautiful spring day in April.
From the moment we engaged Auchen Castle as our preferred wedding venue, it was plain sailing with Lynne and Sarah always quick to respond to our numerous emails from overseas. Their communication was first class and it made for planning an international wedding very stress-free.
During our three-day stay at Auchen Castle, everything ran like clockwork. The venue was stunning, the staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious. The attention to detail was flawless and the rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable.
The grounds were beautiful and our guests had an enjoyable and relaxing time. It really is the perfect venue for a wedding and the Auchen Castle team are experts in their field.
A huge "thank you" to the Auchen Castle team, you are the best! -

Mandy Sent on 02/05/2024Dream Wedding - Auchen Castle is Amazing!
My husband and I were traveling to Scotland from the US for our wedding, and we decided to hold our wedding at Auchen Castle. This was the best decision we could have made, and I can't say enough good things about Auchen Castle and the amazing staff there.
Planning a wedding abroad could seem daunting, but from the very beginning, the staff made everything very easy. They answered all of our questions (and there were a lot of them) and guided us through every step of the planning process.
I was already impressed with Auchen Castle, but when we arrived for our wedding my husband and I and our family were blown away! Everyone was incredibly nice, and made us feel welcome and relaxed. Everything just felt so easy - as a bride on her wedding day, I can honestly say I couldn't have been more calm. This is really down to the staff - they go above and beyond. I should also mention that all of the food we had - the wedding dinner, our breakfasts, and our BBQ dinner the night we arrived - were all delicious. It was the best food we had on our trip!
We selected the Petit Package, and having everything included made planning very easy. All of the vendors the castle works with are also top notch.
I cannot recommend Auchen Castle enough - our wedding was more wonderful than we could have ever imagined. -

My Husband and I got married at Auchen Castle on the 28th March 2024. We booked our wedding 2 years in advance and opted to go with the perfectly petite package. When I say that this venue turns your dreams into reality, I’m not lying!
Included in our package was the following:
- Exclusive Use of the Castle
- Bridal Bouquet and Grooms Buttonhole
- Honeymoon Suite
- Scottish Piper
- Wedding Cake
- Owl Ring Delivery
- Canapés
- 3 Course Wedding Breakfast
- Welcome Drinks and Toast Drinks
- Evening Grazing Platters
We had a small intimate wedding celebration of 20 guests but you can add on for additional fees.
From the moment we laid eyes on Auchen Castle we knew it was the one. It screams romance with its charm and beautiful surroundings. The team made us all feel so special and at home. Lynne and Sarah always replied to my emails quick and efficiently and no questions were ever too much or silly on the run up to the wedding. Having such friendly wedding coordinators really made for a less stressful wedding experience.
When we booked the venue I was posted all the information I needed in regards to the other suppliers. This included Bells Florist, Callum the Scottish piper and Sandra Braid our cake maker. I then proceeded to get in contact with each vendor to discuss our plans for the wedding day.
The night before the wedding we headed down with 9 of our family members to set up the castle, have a meal and play some games. This is when I met Fiona who was an absolute superstar through out the whole wedding weekend. She was there to greet us and made sure every aspect of our day was perfect.
This brings us on to the food and my mouth is watering even thinking about it! It was delicious. The catering was out of this world and as a picky eater who was worried I wouldn’t like anything, it was *chefs kiss*!
Everything about our time at the castle was exceptional and I wish we could relive it all over again! If you’re looking for your fairytale wedding venue then you must go visit Auchen Castle. -
