- CChris & Jenni08/11/2018Stunning VenueStunning VenueLochside was amazing, my husband and I knew it was the place for us the first time we saw it. We looked at a bunch of other venues but none compared to this. By far the most beautiful place inside and out, as well as not being as expensive as you'd expect. Great lounge for the guests to hang out in between different parts of the wedding and beautiful outside area if the weather's good. Great size rooms for ceremony and dinner/reception with good size dance floor. Bridal dressing room was also great and allowed me to see guests arriving on a large screen which I loved. Couldn't fault the staff who were all super helpful every step of the way and on the day itself too. Added bonus that their food is absolutely delicious which we took advantage of every time we went to sort anything. And the spas lovely too - thoroughly recommend that with your bridesmaids - was a super relaxing start to my wedding day! Book this venue - you will not regret it!Lochside was amazing, my husband and I knew it was the place for us the first time we saw it. We looked at a bunch of other venues but none compared to this.
