The Perfect Venue!

Cluny Castle was the perfect venue for our big day and we could not be happier we chose it. The staff were absolutely wonderful to work with, especially Natalie who made coordinating a wedding from overseas an absolute breeze. Our guests were amazed with how beautiful the castle and grounds were, especially the stunning chapel. Each room was filled with charm and exquisite little details. It was a day we will never forget!

A Fairytale Setting!

The most beautiful venue with the best staff. From the first viewing we had at Cluny, Cosmo and the team were extremely professional and helpful. Over the whole wedding weekend, no ask was too much. Cluny speaks volumes for itself being so breathtaking, but knowing you have the Cluny team behind you takes the stress away for the whole weekend. It was the best weekend of our lives and we are so grateful to all the team and all of their efforts.

We just wanted to send you guys a quick message to say thank you so much for everything in the run-up to the wedding, and over the entire weekend. It was absolutely incredible, with ALL of the guests being taken aback by the beauty of Cluny Castle and the amazing staff. I lost count how many times I was told "this is the best wedding we've ever been to!". That was only possible thanks to you guys!!

Absolute Professionals!

I was fortunate enough to work at Cluny Castle last month at the wedding of Kris & Bernie. I travelled all the way from West Yorkshire and it was worth every mile. It is a truly breathtaking wedding venue and in such beautiful surroundings. The team are just so friendly, supportive and at the top of their game, they are absolute professionals! Well done Cluny Castle!

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES!!!

Dear Natalie (and Cluny team) Words cannot describe how lovely our experience was getting married at Cluny Castle! You were a fantastic wedding planner, Cosmo was the most gracious host, and Stephen was beyond helpful! We truly appreciate all the hard work you all put in, and I can confidently say we had the best day of our lives! I have been telling everyone who will listen how fantastic Cluny is, but please let me know if there is a good place to write a review or anything more I can do to promote the estate. Once again thank you (and Scotland in general) for being so welcoming to us rowdy Texans. Cheers to everyone at Cluny we certainly hope to be back someday! All the best, Kristen and Joseph Coldiron

BIGGEST THANK YOU!

We would like to pass on a huge thank you to you, Cosmo and the rest of the team at Cluny! It was the perfect wedding venue for us and had everything we could have wished for and more, from the stunning chapel, beautiful tenants hall, lovely grounds and accommodation to host our wedding party. I knew as soon as I entered the chapel when we initially viewed the venue that it was where I wanted to get married. It was lovely to spend the weekend there with our closest friends and family and they all can’t stop speaking about how amazing it was and we’ve never stayed anywhere quite like it, it’s a very special place! You did so much in the background dealing with our suppliers, helping with the rehearsal the night before and keeping the whole day on track which went without a hitch! You are the best at what you do! The housekeeping staff were also lovely and couldn’t do enough for us from helping Jamie and the groomsmen with their buttonholes and helping navigate our less able guests around on the day. Cosmo made us feel so welcome into his home and was always nearby to offer support if needed. He even made it into the photobooth with one of the guests. Steven the butler was great addition to have on hand and saved us and the guests a lot of work. We had the best day and would do it all over again if we could!
