Chloe H. Sent on 12/11/2024Barony 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 doingBarony Castle Hotel's reply:
Hi Chloe! Thank you so so much! I am just so grateful that after 2 years of planning we were able to have your wedding at the Alter! Sarah and Myself are especially chuffed to know that you have had a great day! I look forward to seeing you both (and maybe Charlie) for your anniversary! X -

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.Barony Castle Hotel's reply:
Hi Claire, thank you again for your kind words, it honestly means so much to me to know that you and your family felt well looked after throughout the entire process! It really was such a great day! I look forward to seeing you both for your anniversary! Hannah XX -

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.Barony Castle Hotel's reply:
Dear Claire,
Thank you so much for taking the time to give a review of your wedding day. It truly was a gorgeous set up. I am absolutely delighted to know that Katie and I were able to give you the perfect day. We both look forward to seeing you for your anniversary! Hannah -

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.

Hi Amanda,
Thank you so much for your positive feedback on the staff, food and venue. We are all absolutely delighted that your wedding day was how you envisioned (bar the weather) but I am so glad that Brian was able to get you back outside the next day again! It was heart warming to be part of your special day, I can only thank you for trusting me. We look forward to having you back again for your anniversary! Hannah X -

Kirsty B. Sent on 20/01/2024Our 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. -

one of the best times in our life's, highly recommended
great venue and very well put together. Michele and the team were very helpful in everyway possible and made the day run very smoothly. there is choice depending on weather if you want to get married indoors or outdoors with a beautiful setting for either. great choice of food options for the meal, which the food was amazing as well. would highly recommend Barony Castle to anyone who was thinking about there. all the suite rooms were beautiful as well.
