Lily Sent on 02/01/2025Our dream wedding and the PERFECT venue!
We cannot recommend Carrick Castle Estate enough! We had our wedding there in October, and it was nothing short of magical. From the very beginning, Hannah, Cheryl and the team went above and beyond to make our day everything we dreamed of and more.
Hannah and Cheryl were incredibly accommodating, always willing to give advice and recommendations on how to make our vision a reality. They were so friendly and approachable, making us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process. No matter how many questions we had (and we had a lot!), they answered every single one promptly and with such professionalism that it felt like nothing was ever too much trouble.
The estate itself is absolutely breathtaking - a truly unique and romantic setting that left our guests in awe. Every aspect of the venue was immaculate. From the moment we arrived to the final farewell, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly enjoy our special day. We stayed from Thursday until Monday and the feeling of having all your closest friends and family with you at such an incredible venue really is something we will cherish forever.
Thank you to everyone at Carrick Castle Estate for creating memories we will treasure for a lifetime. If you’re considering this venue for your wedding, don’t hesitate - it’s everything you could hope for and more! We can't wait to come back soon! -

We truly fell in love with this special place! I cannot praise Carrick Castle Estate enough, the manager, Hannah, and her husband Darius! The place itself is magical with its stunning surroundings of wild hills, the lake right by the estate and the Carrick Castle ruins nearby. This place is made for dramatic pictures! We knew we wanted to book the venue straightaway when we attended one of the open days. The place was perfect, as we were looking for a place we could have for the whole weekend (until Monday) and with good capacity for accommodation as both our families are from abroad. We booked the Lodge, Annex and Whisperwood and the accommodation in all three buildings was flawless. Everyone was amazed by the stunning setup, design, and decor. All houses are fully equipped including an extremely well-equipped kitchen (my friend was finishing our wedding cake in the kitchen and didn't miss anything). Hannah the manager was super accommodating and she went over and beyond to make our day as stress-free as possible (it wasn't stressful at all actually). Everyone was quick to respond to any questions we had (even the repetitive ones) and always did their best to accommodate whatever wish we or our guests had! Carrick Castle Estate is incredibly versatile and can accommodate any type of wedding you wish to have. We used the barn for the ceremony and celebration as the weather on the day was, well, very Scottish :) Part of the Lodge is also a hot tub, sauna and steam...having these the day after the wedding day was just the best! One of the best parts was when Hannah's husband took us in the vintage Land Rover up the hill for some super dramatic wedding photos! Also, the ride was super fun!
We are incredibly grateful for finding this place and having the opportunity to celebrate with our families and friends our special day! Thank you, Hannah, for being so reassuring, helpful and awesome throughout the whole preparations and the weekend. We have unforgettable memories and we truly wish to come back! -

Carrick Castle+ A hidden gem at the foot of the Highlands
Where do I begin. We are from the U.S., and I have visited Scotland multiple times, my enchantment growing with each visit. When I proposed, I did it at the foot of the Three Sisters in Glencoe. It's one of the most amazing places on Earth, so I knew that I wanted get married in this magical place when we began planning.
We were looking for a rustic venue that was flexible with accommodations, but also offered a modern experience with amenities and aesthetics of the venue. Carrick Castle Estate met those expectations, offering a competitively priced venue that had we done this in the U.S., we would've paid at least 2x the amount just to have the venue for a day. The DIY flexibility, coupled with Carrick's network of vendors and lovely management staff (Cheryl and Hannah, you were both BRILLIANT,CHARMING, and AMAZING HOSTS) made the experience so much better.
We were married in Autumn, which normally presents with mild weather, but the area in and around the estate suffered severe flooding. Thankfully, all of our vendors and planners made it on the big day, and the sun seemed to emerge minutes before the ceremony began. It was such a magical day, and I would recommend anyone looking for a destination event, or if you're on that side of pond, to book this venue. The natural beauty, history, and management of the estate are second to none, and I cannot wait to come back to this beautiful place and stay here again (this time, without the wedding stress haha). -

Amazing, 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 special -

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.

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!

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! -
