Colstoun really is our house and our home. We love sharing it with people. Our unofficial motto is 'Our House, Your Home', and we want you and your guests to feel as though they are attending a party at your home, or that you have borrowed the place from a member of the family, or a very close friend. As such we are relaxed about how your day is run, and we'll endeavour to help you in any way possible. For any information about hosting an event at Colstoun, please feel free to contact us.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Cameron

Hi, My name is Cameron, I run Colstoun. Colstoun has been in my uncle's family for over 900 years. In 2010 we started turning the place around so that it was a viable entity in this modern world. We wanted to create an environment where everyone felt at home, like you were borrowing a friends house, or even your uncles house. In fact thats how it all started. We used to borrow my uncles house to have parties and functions and we really thought that it was so great we should share it.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Colstoun House?

Every wedding so far has been different, I would say that each of them has had best bits. I loved when our first bride didn't realise that she didn't have 'something old' 'something blue' or 'something borrowed' so my mother lent the bride a sapphire ring that had been given to my great aunt at her wedding. I loved when the second couples' wedding car broke down so my dad raced to the church to pick them up in his car. I loved seeing Ewan and Christina getting soaked by a surprise thunderstorm when they were out having their photos taken in the grounds, they ran under a tree to get away from the rain and it was the first time that day they were able to be alone, the sneaky pics taken by the photographer with the long distance lens really showed how happy they were (even though they were soaking!). I loved when our most recent couple insisted that we join them for the party.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Do what you feel is right. Its your day, not your mothers and not your fathers. If you want to have 20 friends only... then only have 20 friends, if you want to go crazy and have a wedding cake made of cheese then do that! Like I say to almost everyone who comes to view the place... We think Every Wedding Venue in Scotland is our competition, and at the same point none are, and thats because we want our couples to walk in the door and feel that Colstoun is the only one that is right for them. If your wedding day is planned around what you feel is right for you guys then it will be one of the best days of your life.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our brides named each of the tables after a Clan that was important to her and her new husband. Her clan, her new clan, her mothers clan. They met at Colstoun, so they also included the Brouns, the Sinclairs, and the Lindsays. Each of the tables was decorated in that clans tartan, the flowers had clan ribbons in them, and the napkins were tied up with tartan too. It was really beautiful.

Mini yorkshire puds with roe- venison fillet, redcurrant jelly and horseradish sauce... a different take on an oldie but a goodie
