Barony is underrated and worth a visit
When looking for wedding venues with forestry, sadly Scotland is lacking. Thankfully we have Barony Castle Hotel. The woodland alter was absolutely stunning and sold us right away. Our day had over 100 guests and Barony handled this with grace and ease. We had a lot of requests and the staff were happy to oblige or help us to achieve our dream day. Hannah the wedding coordinator was incredible at managing the bookings and details of our day, we couldn’t have done it without her. Another I’d like to mention is Sarah, she was really brilliant on the day and helped where Hannah was elsewhere. Even our guests commented on how great the hotel we’re at handling our big family.
Our day was so so special and very unique compared to so many other weddings I see online. I cannot thank or recommend Barony and their staff enough.
Some advice to future couples:
Firstly, for peak autumn, go for the second last Saturday in October. The leaves are gorgeous if storms hold off.
Make sure you get a photographer with a drone as their map of Scotland is stunning, some friends thought our photos were AI the grounds looked so good. And lastly, enjoy your day! Barony know what they’re doing

One of the best days of our lives
We chose the Barony because of the beautiful location, the friendly staff we met on that first day when reviewing possible wedding venues, the stunning grounds, the amazing wedding room along with the main function room. It provided us with the perfect Scottish wedding, that myself and my Portuguese wife were so keen to share with all our friends and family. Having such a well organised dedicated wedding planner like Hannah, took so much stress away from us. The wedding day went without a hitch, and we’ll remember it forever. Thank you Hannah, the Chef, and all the staff at The Barony. You all helped to make this our perfect Wedding day

Absolutely Fantastic
From initial booking to even the days after Barony Castle were absolutely brilliant, the packages they offer take all of the stress our of wedding planning with their excellent experienced suppliers just getting in touch with you directly.
Rooms were lovely, facilities at the hotel were great and the wedding coordinator there is exceptional, nothing is too big or too small and they are well practised with weddings, can't reccomend booking with them enough.

The best day ever!!!
We had our amazing wedding day here. I can highly recommend having your wedding day here. Staff were amazing and very accommodating and helpful they went above and beyond for us. The grounds are simply stunning and very picturesque. The food was also amazing and very good portion sizes none left hungry that's for sure. If I could I would do it all again here.

The Wedding of our dreams
We got married at Barony Castle on 4th July 2024 and it was the best day of our lives! Not even the fact that the weather wasn’t great therefore, we couldn’t get married at the outdoor alter dampened our spirits. We had a wedding party of 50 and the Elibank Suite was perfect and a beautiful room. The food was delicious and the staff were exceptional. Nothing was too much bother. Our wedding planners Hannah & Katie were fairy godmothers and made it a truly magical day. The package we chose includes an overnight stay for our 1st Anniversary and we cannot wait to go back.

Fantastic Experience
Callum and I got married at Barony Castle Hotel on the 24th of May 2024.
We cannot fault the team at Barony who worked so hard to make our day as special as possible.
Despite the weather not being great and not managing to have the outdoor wedding we had initially planned, Hannah made sure we still had the most magical day indoors.
All the staff were extremely kind and well-organised. They definitely helped make our day as special as possible.
The food we had was amazing. We highly recommend the Thai Style Noodle Box for the evening buffet.
The kitchen was very accommodating of allergies and requirements. Both my husband and I are vegetarian. They went out of their way to accommodate us and allowed us to have two vegetarian options on our menu.
All of our guests were extremely happy with their rooms. Callum and I were extremely happy with our suites. 😍
We highly recommend Barony as a wedding venue or even somewhere to stop and have some lunch.
We are really looking forward to our one-year anniversary and having the pleasure of celebrating this at Barony.
Thank you again for all your help and support to plan and make our day as special as possible.

Our dream, stress-free wedding experience at Barony Castle
We recently celebrated our wedding at Barony Castle, and it was genuinely an unforgettable experience.
The venue's beauty, both inside and out, struck the perfect chord for our special day, giving a sense of elegance and intimacy that's hard to put into words.
The entire Barony Castle team deserves applause. Their friendliness and dedication meant that no request was too much, and they consistently went the extra mile for us.
We were particularly taken with the well-organised wedding packages on offer. Teaming up with top-notch suppliers, they managed to take the hustle and bustle out of our preparations, offering a surprisingly stress-free planning experience.
A special mention must be made about the food - from the starters right through to the desserts, everything was impeccable.
When it comes to making your big day magical and stress-free, Barony Castle is the perfect choice. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue.

Our Perfect Day
We were married at The Barony Castle Hotel in April this year.
Our wedding was an absolute joy to plan. Michele, our wedding planner, and her team were truly amazing.
We had an intimate family ceremony and everything we had asked for was organised to perfection. The ceremony room was filled with fairy lights, fresh flowers and warm colours. Everything from our meal afterwards to our evening reception was timed brilliantly, we didn't have to do a thing, other than enjoy our beautiful day.
Nothing was too much trouble throughout the whole process.
We would recommend The Barony Castle to future couples, it's such a scenic place for amazing photos and a wonderful venue.

Our perfect day
Barony Castle was exactly what we were hoping for! The building and the grounds are STUNNING for photographs and all our guests commented on how beautifully everything was set up. Michele in particular was lovely and had such an attention to detail. The food was incredible with many choices for all dietary requirements. The suite we were in the night before and morning of was beautiful and had just the right amount of space for everyone

Magical Autumn Wedding at Barony Castle Hotel
We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have our wedding at Barony Castle Hotel! The venue itself is nothing short of stunning - an idyllic setting, perfect for our autumn wedding - and the exceptional service we received made our special day truly unforgettable.
Hannah played an integral role, guiding us through the entire planning process with meticulous attention to detail. On the day, her expertise ensured everything ran seamlessly, and her support was invaluable. When James took over in the evening, the transition was flawless, and we knew we were in the best hands. The entire team’s professionalism and dedication allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in every moment of our special day.
The culinary experience was equally exceptional. The chef crafted three delicious menus, including an evening buffet for the guests who arrived the night before the wedding. He also took the time to personally meet with us during the tasting to discuss our dietary needs. Each dish was outstanding!
From Hannah's planning expertise to Janette’s attentive care at reception, every detail was handled beautifully. We wholeheartedly recommend Barony Castle Hotel to any couple seeking a breathtaking venue with the friendliest, first-class service.
Our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for making our wedding day so magical!

Best wedding day ever
We chose barony castle as we had our first date there and got engaged there. So it made sense to also get married in such a beautiful venue. Hannah our wedding coordinator was absolutely amazing and put us at ease on the run up to our wedding and on the day. The day went to plan and we had the best day ever!

Perfect from start to finish…
The venue is beautiful, and for those who have never been, the first view of the hotel when you drive up is stunning. The team and their suppliers are some of the nicest, most helpful people you could meet and our guests thoughts it was possibly the best wedding they had ever attended.
