  Wedding August 2024

  Amazing venue, wonderful helpful staff, lovely warm and cosy feel with fairy lights and can decorate as you like! We loved the rustic feel which matched our dried flowers perfectly. Lovely views of the sea outside and orchard garden out back. Plenty of space and guests loved it too!

  Unbelievable.

  Kinkell Byre is a venue like no other.
  The staff are the most accommodating people I have ever met. They went above and beyond of us from the moment we emailed about a viewing. I can't believe I got the day I did cause it felt like something out a of movie. Massive shout out to Claire who couldn't of been more helpful.
  I was told by so many guests " This is the most beautiful wedding venue they have ever seen".

  Summer wedding with short planning time

  Kinkell Byre is a stunning venue with absolutely exceptional staff. We planned our wedding in just 9 months and Claire and Sophie were there to support us every step of the way. They have amazing attention to detail and answer any question you have!
  
  Claire was extremely helpful on the day of with our guests, suppliers and calming some nerves too! We met with Claire the day before to step up and go through any last minute details or changes. Their support throughout the process from start to finish was truly impeccable! Thank you so much for being such a core part of our day!

  Beautiful, spacious, rustic and the styling possibilities are endless

  We had a fantastic experience booking, planning and eventually celebrating our wedding at Kinkell Byre. The staff were all amazing, with special thanks to Sophie, Stevie and Brian. The venue itself is beautiful, spacious, rustic and the styling possibilities are endless- ensuring that our wedding day was perfectly 'us'. Perfect location and beautiful views. We have also previously stayed in the cabins too which was the ideal cosy coastal getaway. We will come back for many years to come to what has become a very special place for us. Thank you again to the team

  Kinkell Byre - Perfect Wedding Venue

  We fell in love with Kinkell Byre as soon as we walked into the venue. The byre itself is a beautiful rustic setting but the ability to create a variety of romantic, fun and unique spaces was exactly what we were looking for.
  One of the most memorable features are the lighting installations, especially the beautifully lit ceremony space - something that we simply could not have replicated in any other venue. The flexibility within the byre allowed us to configure the spaces exactly how we wanted and the whole team went above and beyond to make sure our day was designed exactly how we wanted it. The venue is situated with stunning views over the St Andrew's coastline to the front and with the garden to the rear provides a variety of spots for photos without venturing too far.
  Kinkell provided everything we could have wished for in a venue and in the team on hand to help every step of the way. They allowing us to completely personalise our day and all our guests absolutely loved it. We just want to go back and do it all again!

  The wedding venue of our dreams!

  Kinkell Byre was the absolute venue of our dreams and exceeded expectations massively on our big day. Being able to put our own stamp on it and the amazing effort the team all put throughout in made the day and run-up unbelievably good! The day went in a flash but we managed to pack so much in and the Kinkell team all made it run so so seamlessly - an amazing job dealing with suppliers, timings etc. which allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves!
  
  We visited Kinkell in Oct 2020 - 2 weeks after our engagement and Sophie gave us the two tours over the weekend. She was so so friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a good initial feeling about the venue- we had it booked 2 days after! It was also the first and only venue we viewed in person!
  
  The Kinkell team were absolute superstars, both answering my many emails with LOTS of queries. Nothing seemed too much hassle and they always responded super quick! A massive help was also Claire on the day who was like my third bridesmaid! Sorting my veil, decorating the cake, feeding me Prosecco when I was freaking out before going down the aisle and making sure we were ready for key photos/timings like the sparkler shot! Tegan was fab as well who had the not so lovely job of tidying up post-party and gathering our items for an easy pop in the car on Sunday.
  
  The venue itself is absolutely stunning, we found nowhere else near comparable. Spoilt for choice with so many beautiful spots for photos too. We chose Kinkell as we knew if we weren’t blessed with Scottish sunshine we would still get fab photos - luck was on our side and we were able to get photos in the orchard, against the red barn doors, the sea backdrop and by the golf course.
  
  It was such an amazing day we’ll never forget. I would highly recommend Kinkell to all future brides and grooms looking for a stunning barn venue to put their own stamp on!

  Magical Kinkell Byre

  We were so lucky to get married at the incredible Kinkell Byre in December 2023. It was the most magical space we could have ever dreamed of with stunning views across the Scottish coastline.
  
  The venue itself is the perfect space to create your personalised wedding, in whatever way suits you! It felt like we were in a Christmas Winter Wonderland with all our fairy lights and candles. The ceremony space is so unique and all our guest loved how cosy and personal it felt.
  
  Aside from the venue (which is amazing!), the team are absolutely fabulous! Extremely organised, efficient, friendly and help you to feel so comfortable/relaxed on the day itself! There's no question they don't have an answer for or a way to find it if they don't.
  
  To those thinking about getting married or having a party at Kinkell - it's the best decision you'll ever make!
  
  Thank you so much for everything!
  
  Loads of love,
  The O'Connors

  Perfect day at our dream venue!

  We had the best wedding day at Kinkell! The venue is stunning, with views over the sea and a cute orchard at the back. The flexibility with the space was great, we had a 9-hole mini golf course in one room which our guests loved. The eating and dancing area is beautiful, we could fit all our guests without the need for moving them for the dancing. The team at Kinkell are so helpful from the moment you first visit, they help the day run very smoothly. Would highly recommend!

  Beautiful venue who gave amazing, professional support

  We held our wedding at Kinkell Byre in 2022. We had to delay our wedding by a year due to Covid and everyone at Kinkell couldn’t have been more helpful or supportive. The space is amazing and so flexible. The suppliers recommended were excellent. We had such a memorable day, and because the space is so flexible we were able to make it truly unique to us. We would highly recommend Kinkell Byre for a beautiful venue.

  Wonderul destintation wedding at Kinkell Byre!

  We met in St Andrews but live in North America and wanted to return to Scotland to get married. A friend recommended the Kinkell Byre to us and we booked it sight unseen for our destination wedding. This turned out to be a wonderful decision. The venue was beautiful and spacious. The location on the coast is stunning and easy to reach from St Andrews. The staff were extremely helpful in the process (going above and beyond to meet with us online to go over small details, show us the venue, and put us at ease in connection with other suppliers like the caterers we booked), especially given that we arranged everything from abroad. They treated us very kindly during the rehearsal, on the big day, and the day after. Our guests were really impressed with the venue and everyone had a blast! We have no regrets with the Kinkell Byre, just excellent memories and great satisfaction with how our wedding was orchestrated at the Byre. We would love to come back and look forward to doing so!
