Kinkell Byre was truly the most wonderful wedding venue. It was actually the only venue we viewed as we knew it was absolutely perfect the minute we stepped foot in. We loved being able to choose which suppliers we could have on our special day, it allowed us to properly customise the day to make it feel very us. Although a blank canvas venue may feel intimidating, Kinkell provide an extensive list of excellent suppliers, to help build your special day. On top of this list, the team come with years of experience to help guide and advise in the lead up to the wedding. They were always just a phone call or email away. The setting was absolutely perfect. Set on the coast, with stunning gardens, beautiful glamping cabins (where the bridal party actually got ready in) - the place is perfect for a real Scottish wedding! I think the photos of Kinkell speak for themselves, but Kinkell Byre truly is a magical venue. We can't wait to come back and stay in the cabins for our 1 year anniversary. Thank you Kinkell!Kinkell Byre's reply:

Kinkell is a beautiful blank canvas that you can either leave in its natural beauty or make your own for the day. We had looked at quite a few different venues before we went to see Kinkell as we both initially had a different vision for the venue which meant we wanted to look at both and decide what would be best for us collectively. We looked at Castles and other barn venues but there was a lot of restrictions on suppliers and for some venues hidden costs.
Kinkell is a “what you see is what you get” venue with the freedom and support to make your day exactly how you want it. Some examples that may seem small but played a huge role in our decision was the fact we could allow our guests a choice of different food options on the day, that we could use any supplier to decorate the venue to bring our vison to life. The venue is so beautiful inside that if it was raining, we could still have amazing pictures inside. Until we looked and spoke to venues, we had no clue that some would have so many restrictions on certain areas. With that said this means more work looking for and organising suppliers but we honestly think that additional workload was worth it.
These were some of the many things that Kinkell would let us have our day reflecting on us, rather than a generic wedding day. The team at Kinkell were also very attentive, supportive and were always on hand to help. Even the day before and on our day, we had someone there keeping us calm and everyone right. They even took photos and videos for us to look at the next day which was honestly such a lovely surprise and addition to have! You can tell the team are invested and genuinely care, not once were we made to feel like an inconvenience, and they kept in touch before the wedding. Nothing was too much hassle and they kept suppliers right who arrived on the day as to how we wanted things set up. -

Kinkell was honestly our dream venue. A fantastic venue in an amazing location, backed up by the most helpful staff you could ever ask for.
If you are looking for a beautiful rustic venue you can really put your own spin on, there is no where better. -

The most amazing venue/team!
Kinkell was the dream wedding venue! We worked with Sophie and Claire to have the best weekend with all of our guests! All of the guests said how beautiful our venue was! Could not recommend Kinkell enough! -

We can't recommend Kinkell Byre and the team there highly enough. From the moment we went for the show around to the weeks following our wedding they were nothing but kind and helpful. The venue itself is stunning and the addition of the cabins make it perfect for wedding guests. You have pretty much free reign to decorate there but you don't need to do much to bring the barn to life, the twinkly lights and exposed brick and beams look incredible just as they are. But you can see all that from the pictures. The hidden treasure at Kinkell Byre is the team - they were amazing. All of them!! They dealt with my (probably 100s of) emails asking questions and checking things in the weeks up to the wedding so quickly and always helpfully. Nothing was too much trouble and they really helped make our day go smoothly without us even knowing they were there. As someone who chose not to spend on a wedding planner, having them there to help us along the way was invaluable. -

The team at Kinkell Byre were absolutely fantastic at every step of our wedding planning process - from our earliest enquiries to the day itself. As we live in London, we weren't able to visit much in the run up to the wedding (in fact just twice - once for Liane to see the venue herself, and once for the rehearsal), however the team made sure that we had all the information we needed to plan and liaise with suppliers, and the whole process ran incredibly smoothly. The beauty of a venue like Kinkell where you have pretty much a blank canvas was a real highlight for us, as it meant we could make our day really unique and incorporate lots of personal elements and touches to our ceremony and the space itself. The wedding day was unseasonably warm for early September, but the team were cool as cucumbers and really outdid themselves. They helped to coordinate all the suppliers and keep us on time with almost no input from us, meaning we could enjoy ourselves to the fullest, safe in the knowledge that everybody was being well looked after. We really can't thank Sophie, Clare, Julia and team enough for being such a big part of this special day - it was better than we could have ever hoped or imagined!
PS: Hopefully we'll pop back for a visit soon, and say hello to Coco, Ginger and their new friends! -

We had our wedding at Kinkell Byre in August 2023, and it was the best decision we made. As soon as we viewed the venue, we knew we had to host our wedding here. Sandy and his team are amazing, and they were so patient and understanding during the Covid period where we had to postpone. Our guests were blown away, and it was the perfect blank canvas for us to bring our vision for our wedding to life. It was important that we had a space where we could reflect both our Scottish and Indian cultures (as well as cater for a large number of guests!) and Kinkell Byre surpassed all of our expectations. A particular thank you to Claire and Sophie who both made sure that our day was the most special day of our lives. They took the stress out of everything, were so responsive to all of our emails and questions, and also made us feel like no task was too big. Kinkell has a personal family feel with a team who are able to achieve exceptional professional standards. Stevie also did a brilliant job of the lighting and the compèring on the day. Stevie has exacting standards too and his attention to detail is impeccable - we couldn’t be happier with the lighting, and also how he ran the day so smoothly. The team at Kinkell genuinely care, and it comes across in everything that they do. Thank you to everyone at Kinkell Byre for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. The Chauhans. -

The dreamiest wedding venue!
Kinkell Byre was the absolute perfect wedding venue! We knew we wanted a barn setting and Kinkell was the first one we saw. As soon as we walked in we got all the feels and knew it was the place for us! The team at Kinkell were fantastic and helped us so much in the planning process! They replied to every email so quickly and had some great advice. Kinkell is a complete blank canvas and we loved that you could have whichever supplies you liked (as well as being given lots of great recommendations). The venue has the most beautiful backdrop and grounds for photos and to explore throughout the day. The ceremony room won our hearts though! It was stunning and the lights in there were so beautiful! The whole planing process was very smooth and we had contact from Kinkell before the wedding to check in and see if they could help with anything . The day before our wedding we had a set up day and the team were on hand all day to help us with anything! Then our entire wedding day ran so smoothly & we couldn’t have dreamed of anything more perfect! Kinkell and the team ensured we had the most special day - thank you thank you! We couldn’t recommend them more :) -

Most magical wedding at a perfect venue
I cannot say enough good things about Kinkell Byre as a wedding venue.
We had only hit the drive way for our first viewing and we instantly felt like we could see ourselves using this venue.
The flexibility and creativity the venue gives you is amazing, and they will help you every step of the way. They took so much stress off my shoulders.
You can really make the venue your own and on the day it will feel so special and intimate.
I wish I could do it all over again!! -
