What a stunning venue. The team at Whitekirk went above & beyond for us on our wedding day! It was exactly what we dreamed of. Nothing was too much of an ask the team really pulled out all the stops. Couldn’t recommend this venue enough, especially if you’re looking for somewhere with flexibility in what you can & can’t do. Everything from the communication to the planning to the actual day was amazing! Thank you so much to Erin & all the team at Whitekirk, We will definitely be back visiting.

Glencorse House & Kirk was the first wedding venue we went to view and we knew instantly that this was the perfect venue for us! The Kirk is a beautiful place to get married in and we had so many compliments from our guests. We had the most amazing day and everything ran so smoothly thanks to Sarah and her team who were on hand to help whenever needed, both on the day and the run up. The chef, Paul, ensured that all details were organised well in advance and the food tasted absolutely delicious- again with multiple compliments from our guests. We couldn’t have asked for a better day and the service provided at Glencorse was amazing – we would highly recommend this venue to any couples looking for a stunning venue to host their special day.

As keen road cyclists we headed to the Scottish Borders with our tandem to get married as well as ride some of the route which he battled through when we got to together. It seemed fitting and finding the tranquil setting of Roulotte Retreat became another beautiful piece of our story. The website does not do Roulotte Retreat justice! Avril and Alan have created something truly unique with so much heart and soul.... We were married outside in their gorgeous wildflower meadow following our lovely vegan breakfast hamper in our Roulotte. We enjoyed a simple stress-free morning and it was more than we could have ever asked for. We took Avril up on her recommendations for a local meal in the evening and photographer to capture our day. Both were great and having this support took all the fuss we wanted to avoid, out of the day. We thought we may miss our family and friends but Avril and Alan more than made up for that by making us feel supported with their kindness and enthusiasm on our special day. To describe our elopement and what Avril and Alan have created at Roulotte Retreat as 'magical' sounds a little over romanticised, but it truly was, and it will be a day we will never forget! We feel blessed to have shared our special day with Avril and Alan and our wonderful registrar, Jane who came recommended by them. Jane was a lovely calming energy who made the ceremony stunning, lifted our excitement and alleviated our nerves! Thank you all again

My husband and I got married at Branxholm on 19.12.16. Myself and my bridesmaids arrived and were greeted with champagne and led to the most amazing bridal suite where we got ready. My guests were greeted with canopes and fizz. Our ceremony was flawless and intimate. Absolutely amazing. We left the wedding 'hut' and were given warm mulled wine by the fire. Our guests were looked after whilst we wandered into the scenery for our photographs! I challenge you to find a more beautiful back drop..... We poured our prosecco tower in front of all our guests, just another small but amazing detail. The bell was rang for dinner and we walked in to the most beautiful dining room! Speeches were made and we ate. The food was faultless absolutely perfect! Whilst we ate, the children enjoyed pizza and popcorn in the cinema room upstairs, under the watchful eye of a professional nanny. Whilst we cut our cake in the main part of the house, our wedding room was converted into a dance floor for our first dance. Every part of our special day was catered for. Debbie and David were fantastic. The attention to detail was fantastic. I could not recommend this place enough!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 out of 10!

We had our wedding at Kippilaw this July and it was so seamless and magical! We rented out the whole manor for the weekend and our guests felt like they had stepped into a fairytale. So many people have told us it was their favorite weekend ever. Lil and Doug have put so much love into Kippilaw to make it a spectacular venue inside and out. They were so flexible and let us get married under their magnificent Copper Beech tree. No one had ever done that before and it was divine. Our guests felt so at home and loved staying at Kippilaw and the staff went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. All the food was DELICIOUS and exceeded my wildest expectations. That lemon meringue pie was the best I ever tasted! Working with Lil to create the wedding of my dreams was a joy and I had to plan the whole thing for 63 guests coming from the United States. She made everything run like clockwork and went to all lengths take care of our needs and vision. I would love to host another event at Kippilaw and would give this venue 10 stars if I could!

We held our wedding at Harvest Moon in June 2016 - and Alex and team couldn't have been more helpful in helping us prepare for our big day. We booked all the safari tents and treehouses and made a weekend of it with our friends! We had our ceremony on the beach - and even created double doors to lead on to the beach (pinterest idea!). Then we booked a Tipi to host our reception up by the safari tents. Everything was absolutely fantastic and although we didn't have the weather we hoped for - it made our photo's all the more dramatic. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Harvest Moon for a wedding!
