Our dream wedding venue

Almost as soon as we viewed Carberry Tower for the first time, we knew it was exactly what wed pictured for our wedding. The house, grounds, chapel and pavilion were all exactly right for our needs, and Isabella was extremely helpful throughout the planning process in terms of answering all our questions quickly and clearly. Our guests all had a wonderful time and mentioned how much they loved Carberry Tower. We’d definitely recommend it to other recently-engaged couples, and we’re already planning to come back and stay as guests for our anniversary next year!

A 5 star wedding experience

Our wedding planning experience was nothing short of 5 stars from the start. We had the pleasure of planning our wedding with Isabella and Lauren who were extremely responsive, provided lots of information in the initial pre-booking stages, showed us around the venue and went through every detail of the day. We never felt any pressure to book and felt all our questions were answered in plenty of detail. The events team were very organised and highly professional over email and in person. They provided us with detailed timelines and task lists in plenty of time, but also understood that some degree of flexibility was going to be required due to our very busy lifestyles.
Nothing was ever any trouble. Our day went about as smoothly as it could have done and our friends and family were blown away by how well everything was run.

The morning of the wedding was very relaxing with plenty of space for both of us to get ready with our bridesmaids and groomsmen. All staff were very calm and welcoming, always with a smile. It was very clear that everyone took pride in what they do. Agnes who took over from Lauren to run the wedding breakfast and evening reception was fantastic at ensuring that things ran to schedule paying a lot of attention to every detail.

Probably very few local venues have the benefit of being private (if you wish), yet having plenty of open space and variety of places for guests to enjoy the day - the chapel, the rose gardens, indoor lounges, wedding breakfast pavilion and another separate space for the evening party and dancing. This was something important to us as we did not want to be confined to just one room for the majority of the day. Having 30 bedrooms available on site for friends and family was also a massive bonus as it meant that we got to see our loved ones and share our memories of the night before with them over breakfast the next day.

The surroundings are also just beautiful with plenty of lovely backdrops for photo opportunities.

We highly recommend having your wedding at Carberry Tower!

Perfect day!

We got married at Carberry Tower this summer and we are so happy with our venue choice! The venue itself is stunning and we fell in love with it when we first visited. Isabella initially showed us around the venue and explained how the day would run and we came away knowing it was the venue of our dreams. Communication over the next 11 months was brilliant - Isabella was quick to respond and nothing was too much hassle for the team. In the run up to the big day, Rebecca took over from Isabella and she was so lovely to work with. She was completely up to date with everything we had discussed previously with Isabella and again nothing was too much hassle. The team were extremely flexible with last minute changes and we felt really looked after on our big day. Several guests have commented on how stunning the venue is but have said what made the day even more special was just how good the staff were at looking after everyone. My niece especially loved Lyn who told her she looked more beautiful than the bride!

We had the most perfect day and are delighted with how everything went and that is due to Carberry Tower and its staff. Thank you so much!

Fantastic Historical Wedding Venue

Carberry Tower is a fantastic venue

Staff were soo welcoming & attentive

Be mindful this is a historical building so will have some small rooms. But this is a well cared for & maintained building.

Would highly recommend

Gauld Wedding

I don’t know where to begin….the first time we visited Carberry Tower we fell in love. It is set in the most beautiful grounds with the best drive up to the Tower.
Isabella initially showed us around and explained how our day would go each room from where the ceremony would be, to drinks reception, marquee for dinner to finally where we would dance the night away just got better and better. We immediately left knowing it was our venue.
The planning over 14months were made very easy knowing I had a great team at Carberry on hand to help with anything. Their communication via email or phone is impeccable. On our wedding day Kasia was on hand to co ordinate our day, even if I changed how things went nothing was too much for them or a pain to change. I cannot recommend this venue enough! I just wish we could do it all again as I would book Carberry 100 times over.

A Magical Venue

We got married at Carberry Tower on 10th Jan 2024 and it was absolutely magical! The setting was gorgeous, the food and drinks were amazing and the chapel and reception room were beautiful. The package was very reasonably priced and Carberry was very flexible with change in guest numbers and any last minute changes. We had an amazing time, the team at Carberry Tower really looked after us and we look forward to visiting again soon!

Fabulous experience

We had the most magical wedding at Carberry Tower in October 2023, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of venue. The staff at Carberry Tower were not only incredibly friendly but also exceptionally accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was exactly as we envisioned. We could visit whenever we wanted, and they were always there to assist us. Their advice was invaluable, and their responsiveness and experience were evident throughout the entire process. It was clear that they were well-versed in orchestrating beautiful weddings.

The venue itself is nothing short of stunning. The beautiful gardens provided us with a picturesque backdrop, and the thoughtful options for both rain and shine ensured that our day was perfect regardless of the weather. The rooms were not only comfortable but also spacious, providing ample room for our guests to enjoy the celebration.

The food options were delicious, and the curated supplier list made planning a breeze. What truly stood out for us was the ability to take over the entire venue, allowing us to keep the party going late into the night without any restrictions.

We wholeheartedly recommend Carberry Tower as a wedding venue. Our experience was nothing short of magical, and we are grateful for the exceptional service and beautiful setting that made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

Wonderful day

Carberry Tower is the absolute ideal location for your wedding. The grounds are simply stunning no matter the weather (which is handy in Scotland when you can get all 4 seasons in one day) and the staff are so friendly, helpful and brilliant at what they do.

In particular, their wedding coordinator kirsty and her team are wonderful,they were able to guide and support us through our whole wedding journey, which was especially challenging during a global pandemic! The team are so knowledgeable when it comes to weddings that they are able to guide and make recommendations when needed to make your day as special as it possibly can be - in particular, their recommendation of our photographer (ryan white) who was brilliant on the day.

our day was fantastic, and everything from the chapel to the food to the organisation and management was brilliant and we didn't need to worry about a thing. we couldn't recommend this venue or their team any higher! 5 stars all round.

Utterly magical

We chose Carberry as our wedding venue and we were so, so glad we did. Kirsty in particular bent over backwards for us so many times that she must be in need of a good chiropractor at this point. Everything was just perfect. We had a large wedding of about 150 but there were no hiccups; nothing was too much trouble and the venue worked really well for the large numbers. The food was utterly delicious - we had loads of compliments from guests - and service was very slick. Staff were lovely throughout and there was no sense of pressure or anxiety at any point despite all the usual small bumps in the road you'd expect at a large wedding; they just seemed to roll with it. Carberry also dealt with our delay due to Covid absolutely impeccably so I would have full trust in them. Thank you so much - you made our wedding day truly everything we had hoped for.
