    Excellent wedding venue

    Barony Castle is an absolutely stunning venue for any wedding. We had full use of the hotel & loved every second. The grounds are stunning for pictures & there's plenty of space for over night guests. Hannah, our wedding planner, made sure our day went nearly perfect. The food was excellent too! My husband & I were both very happy with our wedding at Barony. It's lovely when we return and the staff remember us too! Looking forward to celebrating our 1st anniversary at Barony too.

    A wedding of a lifetime

    We could not have chosen a better place to marry than the Barony Castle Hotel. From the moment we walked through the door to quietly observe the venue, Hannah and the dedicated hotel staff welcomed us with open arms, sharing our vision of creating a magical day not only for us, but for each and every one of our guests. The Barony Castle Hotel offered an enchanting location at an affordable cost, along with a comprehensive package where every detail was taken care of, from the flowers and music to the exquisite photos and an elegant wedding cake. All we had to do was relax and enjoy. Over a year of planning from two far away countries, and on the day itself, Hannah and the highly professional staff graciously accommodated every single one of our requests, tailoring our wishes into a seamless event that our guests called "a wedding of a lifetime."

    Dear Zoe and Vidar, thank you for taking the time to give such a wonderful review. We all love having you here, the staff still talk about how wonderful you and your guests were. I am just so glad that our zoom calls helped to translate the beautiful wedding day vision that you both created. Hannah X

    A lovely September Wedding.

    We had a wonderful wedding at the Barony. Hannah and the staff were so friendly and willing to help with any request no matter how small. We had the baronial package and it made the whole planning aspect a lot easier as you had most of the main things included. Very much looking forward to going back for our 1 year anniversary. x

    Beautiful Venue

    We had a truly lovely day at our wedding. Everything ran smoothly overall, and the team were incredibly helpful throughout the process. Our wedding coordinator, Hannah, in particular was fantastic — always on hand to answer questions and make sure things came together just as we’d hoped.

    The food was simply outstanding — by far the best meal we’ve ever had at a wedding, and so many of our guests commented on how delicious it was. Even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate (storm Floris), the venue offered plenty of beautiful indoor spots for photos, which turned out wonderfully.

    The suites were lovely, and having access to both the Eddleston and adjoining Darnhall in the morning was absolutely perfect for getting ready and relaxing before the ceremony.

    We’d also like to give a special mention to two members of staff who truly went above and beyond — Noah and Jack. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail were exceptional and really stood out to us and our guests.

    Thank you to the entire team for helping make our wedding day so memorable

    Dear Rachel and Andrew,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to give such a wonderful review, I really appreciate it. I am just so glad you are happy with your gorgeous photos regardless of the weather conditions! Maybe you can get dressed up again and we can see you next year for round 2? I will be sure to pass on your comments to the appropriate staff members who will be absolutely chuffed! Hannah X

    Wonderful wedding at Barony Castle!

    Our wedding day was very well executed, especially the meal. We had a few meetings with wedding coordinator, Hannah in the lead up to the big day which gave us plenty of opportunities to ask questions and get organised. She was also very reachable over the phone and email and keen to accommodate our requests where possible.

    We got married on the front lawn which was beautiful and we had a brilliant day. Thanks for everything!

    Barony Castle Hotel's reply:

    Dear Aimee and Charlie, Thank you so much for giving a review! I am so glad that you had a brilliant day. After the run around the weather gave us all, I am just so thankful that we managed to get you outside to the front lawn. It really did look stunning. Thank you, I always try my best to make all of your plans go well. I look forward to having you back for your anniversary! Hannah X

    Our Magical Wedding at Barony Castle

    Barony Castle didn't disappoint. We attended one of the wedding fares and I just knew this was the place I was going to take my vows.
    The pathway down to the alter with elm trees intertwined to make a tunnel was stunning and the sunlight bursting through the gaps made it very magical. Two years planning our intimate wedding and the help we got from Hannah and the team were amazing. The few days we were there for the wedding ALL of the staff were amazing and nothing was too much to do for you. All my guests and ourselves appreciate how friendly and helpful they were. The wedding day was perfect and we probably had the hottest day in Scotland ever. I just can't thank them all enough for making our day extra special. Everything ran smoothly and everyone really had the best time. I would highly recommend Barony Castle. Just wish I could do it all again

    Barony Castle Hotel's reply:

    Dear Janine,
    Thank you so so much for taking the time to give a review. I am just so thankful that you managed to get down to the altar and it was such a gorgeous day for you both. Look forward to seeing you again in the future!

    Stunning Wedding Venue!

    We have stayed at Barony Castle for overnight spa breaks for a number of years now and it soon became our favourite getaway. After our proposal in the grounds we knew Barony would be the perfect wedding venue.

    Hannah our wedding planner, and all the staff, are a real credit to Barony Castle. Hannah guided us every step of the way throughout the planning process and on the day itself. She ensured we had the perfect day and that everything ran smoothly.

    From our previous stays, we already knew how amazing the food and drinks were, but as part of our package we were invited up to sample all four courses of our wedding meal, including drinks, and we were blown away by the quality. All of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed their meals and on the food and drinks in general as most of our guests stayed for two nights.

    As for the actual venue itself, the grounds are stunning. Even after all these years we are still finding lovely new areas when we go out for our walks.

    The Elibank and Meldons function rooms are both beautiful and when set up on the day, looked absolutely stunning!

    The guest bedrooms are cosy, comfortable and always clean. We have stayed in most of the suites now which are all amazing, the Dean View and Eddleston suites in particular are gorgeous. We enjoyed an extra nights stay after our wedding in the Dean View which we would highly recommend.

    As part of our package, we were provided with and recommended all of our wedding suppliers. Again, these were all fantastic, easy to deal with, super friendly and professional in their work. Special shout outs to Brian Cassidy (Photographer) and his lovely wife Irene, Lynsey (Florist, Blooming Bunch), Beth Ritchie (Makeup Artist), Emily French (Hairdresser). Not only were they all amazing at their jobs, but were the kindest, friendliest people who made our day extra special.

    All in all, we simply cannot recommend Barony Castle highly enough. We had the most amazing wedding day and wish we could do it all again!

    We have already booked a party there for our 1st wedding anniversary and look forward to seeing the Barony team again soon!

    Barony Castle Hotel's reply:

    Dear Craig,

    Thank you so much to you and Catherine for your kind words. I am just so thankful that after all these years we are still one of your favourite places to go.

    We love having you all here to stay, you are both an absolute joy and bring smiles all around.

    I will be sure to pass your messages onto the staff and suppliers as they will be so happy to hear.

    We wish you both all the best going forward and will be sure to see you for your anniversary. Hannah XX

    The most amazing wedding experience

    We had the most incredible wedding weekend at Barony Castle, nothing was too much trouble, Hannah the wedding coordinator was beyond helpful and gave us great advice and guidance on the lead up to our day.
    The setting was absolutely beautiful, we were really happy with the food and the staff were fantastic.
    We had the use of 2 of the suites and can not fault either, they both made a gorgeous backdrop for our getting ready pictures.
    We thought the barony offered excellent value for money with their wedding package and they were so flexible with lots of our different requests helping make it a stress free and fun lead up to our wedding.
    I would highly recommend this venue

    Barony Castle Hotel's reply:

    Dear Aimee,

    Thank you so much for taking the time to give a review, I am so thankful that you had the best weekend! From the photos I have seen so far, they look absolutely brilliant!!

    We look forward to having you back for your anniversary! Hannah X
