Dalhousie Castle

A big huge thank you to Shannon, Fiona and Cornelia for helping me with every aspect of this wedding, everyday! And a massive thank you to Camille for being the best master of ceremonies. You all helped everything run so smoothly. All the guests was extremely happy and especially me and Luke. Would definitely recommend. The food was perfect! The rooms as spacious and full of character and history. We loved being at the castle. You all helped us have the best day ever!

We had our wedding at a Dalhousie a few days ago and the service we received was excellent throughout our stay and exceeded our expectations. The day itself ran extremely smoothly thanks to the great organisation of Fiona and the events team and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed their time at the castle including the accommodation and wonderful wedding breakfast. I would thoroughly recommend this venue for a wedding in the Edinburgh area.

I just had my wedding here and it was absolutely perfect. Gorgeous historical setting and everyone worked so hard to make sure everything ran smoothly. Fiona, Cornelia and Patricia were so lovely and made everything seem easy. The food was delicious, the rooms are comfortable (and pretty) everyone was so helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Attended a friend's wedding here last week. We didn't actually stay in the hotel so can't comment on the rooms but the venue was superb. Beautiful place to get married, very romantic and intimate. The food at every course of the wedding breakfast was absolutely delicious. I don't normally eat desserts but I could have eaten that panna cotta dish several times over and what's more, I noticed that every single plate, for every course was cleared - a clear thumbs up that the chefs here know what they are doing ! A marvelous, memorable and thoroughly enjoyable day.

The grounds were absolutely beautiful. Our coordinator helped us plan the wedding she was lovely helped us with all our needs. We were in the Mary Queen of Scots room absolutely beautiful views. I couldn’t ask for a better place to celebrate with our close family

We had our wedding at Dalhousie Castle and it was absolutely perfect also the accommodation was amazing. Staff efficient and friendly would recommend and will definitely be going back again. This exceeds 4 stars

Wow what a venue! We were treated to a first class experience at the Castle. The whole team looked after us superbly. There friendliness courtesy and humour was exceptional. A truly perfect venue for my Son’s wedding. I have no hesitation in recommending The Castle to anyone, you’ll have a wonderful experience.

My husband and I were married at Dalhousie in September and I just want to thank everyone for making the occasion so special for us! The entire team have been fantastic since we booked the wedding 18 months ago. The wedding coordinator, Shannon, is superb. She is organised, knowledgeable, quick to respond to queries and super helpful in making the day exactly as you want it to be. I couldn’t rate her more highly, so Dalhousie, hold on to her! The castle is beautiful and so atmospheric. We booked in couple of days prior to the wedding and I would recommend you do this– having a bit of downtime before the madness commences was a good idea! We stayed in Castle Rocks which less is atmospheric than the castle itself, set a 3 min walk away in the grounds, but the rooms are very comfortable with extremely luxurious bathrooms (free standing tub, wow!) plus outdoor space and lots of extra lounge space in the conservatory. Spending time relaxing in the library bar over a drink was wonderful too. The evening before, we had dinner in the dungeon with our immediate family which was very atmospheric. We were running late so meant we were up against it that evening, but the waiting staff at dinner couldn’t have been more helpful. Our wedding was a Friday – the ceremony was held in the chapel, then our wedding breakfast in the Ramsay room and reception in the Alexander suite. It meant the day felt fluid, people could move from room to room without any hanging around waiting for rooms to be rearranged so it was very relaxed. We were fortunate to have great weather so guests could have fizz outdoors and enjoy the gorgeous grounds as well. Our toastmaster was excellent; along with Shannon, she ran her team with precision and was just generally good at making sure my husband and I knew where we needed to be and when. This helped it feel relaxed so we didn’t have to think too much and things just happened without our effort. Needless to say there were a few last minute changes on our side and the whole team bent over backwards to make things happen. We also had the piper who adds a sense of theatre to the day and a sense of grandeur as he piped guests in and was there for different parts of the day. He is a bit of character and my nephew (6years old) loved the fact he got to be involved and use a sword as part of the cake cutting ritual with the piper. This might not be for everyone though. If like me you are an emotional wreck before the wedding, give it some thought, as he reads poems in your room before the ceremony so by the time I got there, I felt quite teary. Very happy but emotional, so be warned! This is a perfect venue for a smaller, more intimate ceremony. We had about 60 people for the day and this was enough. We had a fantastic day and stay - we really loved it and I can’t thank the team enough!

I stayed here for my best friends wedding. Everything was brilliant, staff were really friendly and helpful, food was amazing, rooms and hotel were decorated beautifully and clean and the Spa was amazing. Spa I had the best message I've had from Lindsay. Chloe and another girl I forgot her name went above and beyond to fix both me and the bride's nails after we both smudged them before they dried properly, we just asked her to fill the little bit but she said she wanted it to look great so she completely redid the nails at no cost. The pool, sauna, foot baths were all awesome and was never overcrowded. Wedding Venue The castle and grounds are lovely so every photo looks amazing. The staff were brilliant, they were friendly and helpful and we found we never needed to ask for anything because they were always offering whatever we needed. When we did have the odd question they sorted everything out quickly and friendly. Room Clean and decorated nicely and a nice view. Toiletries were really nice and towels were huge and warm.

Our wedding at Dalhousie Castle was wonderful. Organising the wedding was simple and stress free. Our wedding coordinator was brilliant (Cornelia). We always got prompt responses to our enquiries and nothing was ever too much trouble. The chapel was a perfect place to get married and we had our wedding breakfast in the Dungeon Restaurant, which looked magnificent. The staff were so attentive, and we didn't have to think about anything because there was always someone there to see us right. The food was beautiful; we got comments from our guests as to how impressed they were with the meal. A perfect memorable day, which I wish we could do all over again, and not change a thing.
