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

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

Perfect Day!

We had the most amazing wedding with Barony Castle Hotel.

In the run up to the wedding Hannah and her team were amazing at making sure every little detail was listened to. No question was too silly!


The hotel is beautiful and all our guests commented on this.

On the weekend of the wedding we couldn’t have asked for better service. The duty manager Sara was incredible and so focused on making sure we had the most amazing time.

We would recommend Barony for anyone looking for their perfect wedding venue

Most magical day!

I would 100% recommend Barony Castle for your special day! They have everything you need to make your day as special as possible. The packages to choose from make it so easy to see exactly what’s included, so you know what you’re getting.

We loved that a stay the night before the wedding was inlcuded and both me and my husband had separate suite rooms. This made it a much more relaxing experience as we all got ready at the venue and didn’t have to worry about getting to the venue.
The bridal suite is such a lovely room, and has so much space for you and all your bridesmaids to get ready in!

Hannah the wedding coordinator is just amazing! She made the whole process a breeze. She really takes the time to go through the run of the day and happy to add more/adjust or take away things you have changed your mind on, and makes sure you are happy with it all. Hannah was happy to have numerous meetings with us and she responded to all my queries very quickly. Even on the day, she is checking to see if everything is running smoothly and checking on myself to see how I was. It was such a pleasure to have Hannah help us plan our wedding.

The whole day ran so smoothly, all the staff at the Barony are friendly and so professional. My family are still going on about what a wonderful day it was.

Michele was Marvelous! (Wedding Co-Ordinator at the Barony Castle Hotel)

The wedding coordinator Michele is a wonderful human being and an even better wedding coordinator. My daughter is disabled and the groom and myself (the mum) needed a lot of very specific help to ensure that my daughters could manage the whole day. Every single email request or enquiry was met with a warm, prompt and informative response. Michele went above and beyond to help us plan, organise and deliver the most wonderful day for the couple and the guests. She personally oversaw the wedding co-ordination on the day and surprised us by wearing a lovely colour coordinating outfit. She worked co-productively and problem solved very effectively. The venue was stunning the chef - catered beautifully for both Vegan and Roast Beef Wedding meal, Canopies and evening supper. The Bridal Room and Honeymoon Suite were simply beautiful. We stayed the night before and the day of. The staff made us and our guests welcome and provided an outstanding service.

Simply flawless

We wanted a very relaxed, chilled and most important, fun day. Michele and her amazing team dealt with everything. I was told where to be at what time, and the rest just fell into place without a hitch. Lovely staff, lovely venue and outstanding food.

An Amazing Wedding

Wow what can we say except from what an outstanding day!!! ❤️❤️

From the moment we booked our wedding, the team at Barony were just utterly amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble and what a day they brought to life ❤️ Michele was outstanding and everyone else were fab throughout as well. Our day was FANTASTIC and all that we hoped it would be and more. Genuinely was brilliant and everyone was commenting on how beautiful the place was and how amazing the wedding breakfast was as well. Many commented on how it was the best wedding meal they had ever been served. Which we felt the same.

We have visited Barony regularly over the years and there was only ever going to be one place we were getting married. Already looking forward to our next visit and this time a married couple ❤️

A dream of a day

We got the late date special offer on our wedding due to our previous venue going bankrupt a couple of months before our date. So with very little time, a slightly stressed bride and groom that dont live locally Barony Castle pulled it all together. Everything ran smoothly and the castle looked stunning.
