Dream Scottish Wedding

Me and my husband couldn't be more thrilled with how our wedding turned out at kippilaw! We got married last year and we still reminisce about how perfect our whole weekend was. Everything from the ceremony to the house to the food was exactly as we imagined our dream scottish wedding would be. We can't thank Lil and the team enough for their amazing hospitality and attention to detail!!

Exceeded all excpectations

Couldn't have asked for a better wedding day! From the planning to the event and beyond, Kippilaw has exceeding all expectations. We booked for a full weekend and it was brilliant. Rachel is so incredibly helpful with getting all the details finalised and offering help whenever she can, double checking that everything was running well for us. The venue is just gorgeous. I cannot thank Kippilaw enough for giving us a perfect day, would 100% recommend Kippilaw to anyone looking!!

Beautiful, flexible, accommodating

We couldn't have imagined a better venue than Kippilaw for our wedding in June. Perhaps more importantly than the beautiful setting, Lil was fantastically flexible and accommodating in enabling us to have the weekend that we wanted and the day that we dreamed of, whilst providing plenty of useful advice throughout the planning process.

Beautiful and Quirky

We had our wedding here in Autumn 2022 and it was a perfect day. Everything from the beautiful and quirky accommodation to the delicious food and assistance from the staff on the day was great. In particular Rachel was fabulous, helpful and calm throughout the day. If you are looking for a unique country house location and a relaxed wedding vibe we would definitely recommend Kippilaw!

Ran our day to perfection

I cannot have imagined a better wedding venue than Kippilaw. The accommodation was beautiful and comfortable, food was excellent, and the grounds are lovely. But the thing that made Kippilaw really stand out from other venues was the owner, Lil, who ran our day to perfection. Throughout the year-long planning process, she was happy to discuss new ideas we came up with, advise us on what was a waste of money and what would be worth spending on to make the day special, and ran everything perfectly

Brilliant trustworthy staff, catered for all

Kippilaw is such a fantastic wedding venue with the most wonderful staff. We had to go pretty much blind into booking (we managed a quick visit but no tasting) but Lil and Rachel are such brilliant people to trust and the day was truly magical with such delicious food (genuinely the food was all the guests could talk about and the portions were very generous)! Thank you very much Lil, Douglas and Rachel, you’re amazing!!!!!!!!!!

Best Time Ever, with ancient tree!

We got married at Kippilaw House and had the best time ever. Rachel was the best, she was super helpful the whole time and made us feel very comfortable. We didn’t feel any pressure to do anything we didn’t want to as we skipped a lot of traditional things that didn’t match with who we are. They were amazing at changing the menu for some of the guest with allergies. If you want a special place for your wedding ceremony we HIGHLY recommend the ancient tree. It was magical.

Amazing experience, everything was handled

Recently had our wedding here and it was absolutely fantastic. Lil and Rachel worked with us to plan an amazing experience. Thanks to the hot weather, we were able to get married outside and it was beautiful. My partner and I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day, absolutely everything was handled for us. Food was delicious with delicious options for all dietary requirements. We actually had a full vegetarian menu and it was delicious. So many options to pick from...
