Western House Hotel is a beautiful, award-winning wedding venue in Ayr, Dumfries Galloway & Ayrshire. Nestled on the edge of town, this country house is a picturesque setting to say "I do."
Facilities and Capacity
Step back in time at Western House Hotel. Dating back to 1920, this stunning locale was previously home to Ayr Racecourse’s Clerk of the Course and, therefore, entertained many who walked through its doors. From the moment you arrive at the start of the driveway, you'll be treated to a stunning view of the mansion. Its elegant decor and idyllic grounds serve as a beautiful backdrop for your special day. Inside, Western House Hotel is equal parts classy and comfortable, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The sweeping staircase, grandfather clock, and grand open fireplace combine with brickwork, which creates a traditional yet modern setting. Ceremonies can be held in the cathedral ballroom, in front of the beautiful fireplace or outside on the patio, which overlooks the gardens and water feature. Afterwards, celebrate your love with dinner and dancing in a number of indoor or outdoor spaces, which can be arranged with dance floors, live bands, and more.
