Carlowrie Castle

Absolutely love this venue. A mix of history and modern culture. The staff is top notch. They are so friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Couldn't have asked for a better venue for our son's wedding 💙

My husband and I married at Carlowrie in August this year and I don’t think we can put into words how incredible our day was, I feel like my review won’t do enough justice! Firstly, the venue itself is impeccable, the detail and care taken to bring the castle into the 21st century yet remain sympathetic to its architecture and beautiful grounds is second to none. As soon as we viewed the venue we knew we were in the right place to host our wedding! From the bedrooms to the orangery everything was beautiful. We were fortunate enough to have great weather for our day which was perfect for enjoying the incredible lawn and gardens. From the initial contact Ailsa was a pleasure to deal with, quick communication, she answered all my daft questions and really took the stress out of planning. We felt in very safe hands throughout the planning process and everything was approached with warmth, professionalism, and care. On the day itself everything went so smoothly and we were made to feel so special. The hospitality from all of the team is superb, we were well taken care of and the team checked in with us throughout the day. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and professional - an absolute credit to the venue! A special shoutout to Ailsa, Ronin, and Richard it was an absolute pleasure to have you on the day. The food! We still have our friends and family complimenting how great the menu was. The quality of ingredients and how beautifully presented the dishes were was another highlight, over the moon with how everything tasted. I really could keep rambling on for paragraphs praising Carlowrie but I need to end the review at some point. So if you are getting married in Edinburgh, look no further than Carlowrie as I can guarantee you will have the perfect wedding day you can only dream of. Once again, thank you to the whole team, we really can’t express our gratitude enough. We will certainly be back for future celebrations! Kirsty & Neil

We recently got married at Carlowrie this summer and we don’t even know where to begin in thanking the whole Carlowrie team. The castle itself is breathtaking, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the care, warmth, and professionalism of the team. The hospitality and organisation were absolutely flawless—beyond anything we could have imagined—and you took every ounce of stress off our hands. We genuinely felt like we were in the safest and most capable hands, free to just enjoy every single moment of our day. The food was another huge highlight. Our guests are still raving about the seafood risotto—it was a standout dish for so many of them. And the s’mores… they disappeared so quickly that we didn’t even manage to snag one ourselves! Everything was so thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. We also have to say how impressed we were with the team. Every single member of staff was exceptional—extremely well trained, attentive, and kind. Not one person was ever dismissive or impolite, and that level of consistency is such a rare and special thing. The male member of staff who was in charge in particular was outstanding—not only incredibly professional but also so funny, which added such warmth and personality to the day. We also really appreciated how the staff kept checking in with us and offering us drinks throughout the night—it was such a thoughtful touch, especially since we kept forgetting to eat and drink in all the excitement. Overall, it was an amazing day and one we will cherish forever. If anyone is considering Carlowrie for their wedding.... do it!

My sister had the most unforgettable stunning wedding here! Amazing service, installations, care! It was perfect!!!

We can't say enough good things about this place as a venue, and about the staff that works there. The entire process from initial Zoom meetings as a couple in the US, to our wedding day was taken care of so professionally. The food was amazing. We enjoyed talks with the bar staff, late night staff, and Ailsa and her team who were helping at every step of the way - even transporting bridesmaids with their luggage with her own car! If we could do it all over again we would choose this venue in a heart beat. I wish we could do it again to be there again! We (and all of our guests) will be talking about this place for years to come! We hope to be able to visit again soon!
