We cannot say enough about our experienceWe cannot say enough about our experience
We had our wedding at Drumtochty in mid-August and cannot say enough about our experience. Every request - and I do mean *every* request - was met with an affable "no problem" and executed without our having to give it a second thought. The facilities are great, the team lovely to work with, and the location magnificent.We had our wedding at Drumtochty in mid-August and cannot say enough about our experience.

We had the most incredible wedding at Drumtochty Castle; my wife, who has been dreaming of her big wedding day since she was a child, commented that it was more than she could ever have imagined, and i also had a couple of the best days of my life. We had the feeling we were at home, only home is a castle, and we were royalty. Every detail was catered for, nothing was too much for Nikki and the rest of the wonderful staff, and having all the most important people from all over the world coming to spend their time with us, is something we will never forget. We will be sure to visit in the future!We had the most incredible wedding at Drumtochty Castle; my wife, who has been dreaming of her big wedding day since she was a child, commented that it was more than she could ever have imagined, and i also had a couple of the best days of my life.

It was absolutely wonderfulIt was absolutely wonderful
We had our wedding at Drumtochty Castle in December and it was absolutely wonderful. Nicky and Tamsin were fantastic throughout the planning process. Their communication was wonderful and they did anything they could to help. From arrival we were made to feel at home at this beautiful venue. The staff were very attentive, polite and helpful and were happy to do anything they could to make the day special. The food was wonderful,both at our tasting day, where we felt so welcome and looked after and equally so on the wedding day. I really could not fault a single thing about the venue from start to finish and would like to thank all the staff and management for helping to create such special memories. xxWe had our wedding at Drumtochty Castle in December and it was absolutely wonderful.

We had the most magical wedding at Drumtochty Castle. Nothing was too much for Nikki and the team, they were willing to help us with anything we wanted. The castle itself is just beautiful and the church... wow. I couldn't have built anything more perfect in my dreams! Because most of our guests could stay on site, the weekend felt surprisingly relaxed - it was just one big party for everyone. And having the whole place to ourselves was wonderful. We could party 'til we dropped! This place has a special place in our hearts. We'll be back one day for an anniversary party!We had the most magical wedding at Drumtochty Castle.

I highly recommend the Drumtochty castleI highly recommend the Drumtochty castle
We got married at Drumtochty castle and it was the ideal venue! It is absolutely stunning and Nikki and her team are extremely experienced at making the day run very smoothly. The food is provided by Drumtochty and is absolutely delicious especially the home-reared venison! The venue has enough space for over 80 guests to stay on-site which meant it was easy to party into the wee hours with all our friends and family. I highly recommend the Drumtochty castle for your wedding! Thank you so much, Nikki and her team for making our day so special. xxWe got married at Drumtochty castle and it was the ideal venue!
