Emily T. Sent on 25/10/2024Wedding of dreams at Cluny Castle
We had a fantastic wedding at Cluny. Everything was perfect. Although we couldn’t plan for the weather (which was perfect), the castle itself lends itself perfectly to our wedding weekend. We hosted a cocktail party in Tenants hall on Friday which was great (but maybe a little bit cold - October isn’t ideal for open doors) and the wedding was held in the chapel which was stunning. We had a marquee for our wedding breakfast and the whole thing was seamless. The castle staff were incredibly lovely, everything was perfectly executed and nothing was too much. There was a slight challenge with the electrics in the brides room but our butler arrived to fix it within 5 minutes so I really can’t fault them.
Overall it was the most perfect wedding in the most perfect venue. -

Cluny Castle Wedding
We recently had our dream wedding at Cluny Castle which is situated in Aberdeenshire. From the moment you drive up to the castle from the main gate, it is absolutely beautiful and takes your breath away. When we viewed the Castle in January, it was snowing and this made the setting even more picturesque. The chapel speaks for itself and is a lovely setting for the ceremony, everything being in one location was a big factor for us and something other venues lacked. Also the intimate setting of the tenants hall was perfect for our wedding size. The setting at Cluny Castle is breathtaking, despite the weather not being on our side, it didn’t matter as we held the drinks reception in the drawing room which was lovely.
Cluny castle is a first class wedding venue and has so much to offer. From the accommodation for family and friends, to the chapel and tenants hall, the venue is absolutely stunning. The staff at Cluny, especially the wedding coordinator Natalie, made the whole experience, her help and guidance not only on the wedding day but the year and a half leading up to the wedding was a great support. She coordinated all of our wedding suppliers on our wedding day and everything went seamlessly. We couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect day. We would definitely recommend Cluny Castle as a wedding venue!

Cluny Castle is a truly fantastic venue. The castle itself is so beautifully decorated and in a great secluded location to spend the weekend with loved ones. It is such a magical place, perfect for a wedding.
The whole team are incredibly helpful and well organised and our wedding ran so smoothly. We both felt so calm and reassured thanks to their help liaising with all of our suppliers on the day. The entire day and weekend was perfect. We cannot recommend Cluny Castle enough, and could not have asked for a better venue.

Cluny Castle was the perfect venue for our big day and we could not be happier we chose it. The staff were absolutely wonderful to work with, especially Natalie who made coordinating a wedding from overseas an absolute breeze. Our guests were amazed with how beautiful the castle and grounds were, especially the stunning chapel. Each room was filled with charm and exquisite little details. It was a day we will never forget! -

Cluny Castle
We got married at Cluny Castle in July 2023 and had the most perfect day & weekend staying at the castle. Natalie & the all the staff went above and beyond to make the full weekend run smoothly and we couldn’t recommend them anymore. The castle is so well looked after, maintained & didn’t feel overused like many other wedding venues. Our guests loved the accommodation & felt spoiled by the butler provided for the weekend!
The Cluny Church was the selling point for us, it made the day perfect & photos so special!! -

Jack Sent on 23/11/2023Our Fairytale Wedding at Cluny Castle
Our September wedding at Cluny Castle was a dream brought to life, blending historic charm with enchanting elegance.
The estate's stunning features, from the intimate chapel and grand library to the luxurious four-poster bedrooms, set a backdrop of timeless romance. The West Wing’s self-catering kitchen and lounge areas, along with the fun-filled games room featuring a table tennis table, added a perfect balance of grandeur and homeliness.
The night before our wedding added a special touch to our experience. In the warmth of the castle's kitchen, our bridesmaids and groomsmen helped us prepare a delightful dinner of frozen pizzas and finger food from a local supermarket. This intimate gathering was filled with laughter and joy, serving as a pre-wedding celebration where all our guests could relax and bond. The evening wrapped up before midnight, keeping with the tradition of not seeing each other before the ceremony.
The day of our wedding at Cluny Castle was nothing short of magical. As the morning sun complementing the castle in a soft glow, anticipation and excitement filled the air. The castle grounds, brimming with natural beauty, served as a serene haven for our guests, who were captivated by the picturesque views and historic elegance of the estate.
The ceremony in the chapel was a heartfelt affair, illuminated by the stained glass windows and echoing with our vows. Post-ceremony, the castle grounds transformed into a lively celebration space, where guests mingled, laughed, and enjoyed the stunning scenery.
As evening fell and the castle lit up in its full glory, we transitioned to a beautifully set up marquee by Elegant Pitches, allowing our guests to appreciate the grand beauty of the castle in a new light, adding an extra layer of magic to our celebration.
Fundamental to the day's success was the team at Cluny Castle. Natalie, our remarkable coordinator, orchestrated every moment with perfection, ensuring a seamless flow from the chapel ceremony to the reception in the marquee. Her unwavering attention to our vision was evident in every aspect of the day.
We must also acknowledge Jill, who provided invaluable assistance to the groomsmen and guests, her warmth adding to the day's charm. Michael, our butler with his welcoming presence, ensured everyone felt at ease, adding sophistication and a personal touch to the proceedings. Cosmo’s involvement and the overall welcoming atmosphere he fostered made our day not just an event, but a cherished memory.
For anyone dreaming of a castle wedding, Cluny Castle stands out as the epitome of romance and elegance. The castle offers stunning accommodations and event spaces, and a team dedicated to making each wedding unique and unforgettable.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Jack and Lilly -
