Regret ever finding themRegret ever finding them
We greatly regret using Oswald House for our wedding. There were several issues throughout the wedding weekend. Then we went through; ten months, a successful legal case, two enforcement attempts and freezing their bank account to try and get our security deposit back and we still haven't received it. This review is our opinion on our experience with Oswald house and we do not claim to have information about anyone else's experience with the venue. Initially we were thrilled to find Oswald house as we wanted an exclusive use venue that our family could stay in and it seemed so perfect. Our meetings with the owner and the current event organiser at the time went great and we felt like they were organised and really open to personalising our wedding weekend. However at the time of the wedding we had continuous issues from when we walked in the door until we left two days later. Nearly every part of our wedding and stay had problems, I'm not going to list each issue as it would be too long and I would get too upset but broadly; there were problems with the rooms, the new head events coordinator, the set up, the heating, leaks, the ceremony room, the drinks, and the reception room. I would say the only things that were up to expectations were the meals and the other two staff members at the weekend, who I know tried to compensate for things. One of the constant issues was that the new event coordinator at the time of the wedding, who was in charge that weekend, we felt she was rude to both us and our guests and very ineffective, she didn't fulfill many of the personalised arrangements that we were so happy to have organised with the owner and constantly interrupted my day as the bride to ask and argue with me, about many of the prearranged things that were in the day plan written by the owner. including at one point where she tracked me down in the toilets to ask if I really wanted one of the prearranged items done, the answer was yes of course because that's why I had arranged it. After the wedding we got comments from nearly every guest saying the same thing, she was either irritable or down right rude in nearly every interaction, even just asking for cups for our grandparents or towels for the bedrooms. Another big issue was that there was no champagne served at the drinks reception and when I addressed it with the coordinator I was told flat out that we didn't pay for any. We had prepaid hundreds of pounds for the drinks weeks before, specifically including several bottles of champagne. Then the selection of drinks we arranged for the guests coming into the meal were also missing, meaning we had no drinks for any of our toasts. Both these issues were extremely embarrassing for us as they made us look thoughtless towards our guests for basic considerations. The last example of some of the serious issues was that there were several bedrooms with leaks and several without central heating, in December, in Scotland, including my 90 year old grandparents room! These are the only examples I'm going to give of the event. But I think you can understand how embarrassed we were that this is the experience our guests had at our wedding venue. Amazingly, worse than any issues throughout the weekend were the issues afterwards. We felt we had got on well with the owner so a few days after the wedding we sent her private feedback about some of the issues we had so she was aware of them, since she wasn't present at the weekend. Our wedding was in late December as mentioned and she didn't respond until February! This meant we also had not received our unused drinks money or deposit back since she hadn't been in touch, despite us attempting to communicate with her every two to three weeks. Once she had got back in communication we followed up about both of these and we were amazed to find out she was planning on keeping hundreds of pounds of our deposit. We found this out for the first time in March, over two months after the wedding! They were trying to keep our deposit because of another big issue we had, one of their heavy curtains and curtain rails fell on our cake designer right before the wedding ceremony. We had brought this up with the owner in the email because as well as it being offal for our cake designer it also meant that with low winter sun streaming through the uncovered window, I and all my wedding party were temporarily blinded walking down the aisle and I couldn't see any of my guests or most importantly my now husband waiting for me or him seeing me in the dress for the first time. We also found out later all the pictures of the wedding procession were ruined because they were completely blown out with the bright light. We don't have pictures of our little nieces being jr bridesmaids, my sister as maid of honour or my parents walking me down the aisle. This upsets me more than anything else. We were shocked that after having all these issues and many more not mentioned, we got blamed and money held from us. We eventually had to go through the legal system to attempt to get the money back, we won our case but still haven't received the money. Our wedding was in December of 2024 and at the time of writing it is November of 2025, over ten months later and the last update we heard is that after not responding to court notifications or written enforcements of the debt, one of their bank accounts has been frozen by sheriff officers due to the unpaid debt and it might take until next year to get our money back, that will be over a year since our wedding. We had decided to delay our review until our dealings were concluded so we could give a full account, but we never imagined it would take this long with no money returned so we felt we had to post even without the conclusion. We thought we had found our dream venue with Oswald House and it turned out to be an ongoing nightmare. They broke my heart.We greatly regret using Oswald House for our wedding.

My husband and I planned to get married at Oswald shortly after it had been taken over by the new owners Sarah & Doug. At the time the building was being renovated therefore we didn’t actually 100% know what the venue would look like on our day. What I can say is that they have done it beautifully! We had planned our day right down to the last detail with Sarah & Kerrie and couldn’t not have been happier with their help and support. Nothing was too much trouble and were able to have everything we wanted on our day. Sadly like many wedding ours had to be postponed due to covid, however, even with covid, we were able to reduce our numbers and have the most special intimate wedding which could only have been made possible with the help of Sarah & Kerrie. The decor was beautiful, the food was amazing which was confirmed by all our guests! We could not have pictures a better day and it is all down to the staff here. Anything we needed, wanted there was nothing that was too much. We feel like we got to know the girls so well and now we love catching up with them when we pop in for lunch or a few drinks! We are planning on having our little ones first birthday in the hall we got married and can’t wait to make many more memories hereMy husband and I planned to get married at Oswald shortly after it had been taken over by the new owners Sarah & Doug.

Outstanding!Outstanding!
I cannot fault Oswald House. Every single person we have dealt with has been amazing - from the first look around to our wedding day and beyond. Nothing is too much hassle. Sarah, Kerrie and the team are professional but also down to earth, and willing to do anything to make your day special. Kerrie made our day a breeze! I literally had nothing to worry about - Kerrie handled it all perfectly and just as we wanted. She was always at the end of an email in the run up to the wedding and met with us when I emailed with questions or worries, to check in on our plans and help with planning. It's an extra bonus that this venue is exclusive use as you have the flexibility to make the place your own. I will forever be grateful to Team Oswald for making our day perfect. This place is more than just a wedding venue - they are genuinely interested in you as a couple and want to be part of your journey.

FAQs

Find out a bit more from our FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

Every Wedding we host is completely unique and bespoke, We spend so much time with our couples from the initial showaround, the planning and then the day itself so this makes it too difficult to choose a 'best' day.

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

Enjoy every single second as it goes by so fast, go to all the wedding fayres, visit lots of different types of venues, speak to different suppliers, Your day will come together perfectly so always keep an open mind.

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Unique, Personal, Cozy, Calming, Fun

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

We love the newly refurbished Suite so the wedding prep photos are always stunning, I understand its difficult to promise the weather in Scotland but we have so many lovely areas outside as well as inside if the rain appears (Rain on a wedding day brings Good luck too)

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

I have seen a few celebrities at previous venues but unfortunately not Oswald (yet)

What’s your favourite canapé?

My personal favourite would be the mini savoury scone with soft goats cheese and roast red onion marmalade but the ultimate favourite for most guests is the Haggis Bon Bon!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

We do a quirky Oswald Chippy where the guests collect their suppers from a heated pass, Normally Battered Haddock, Haggis fritters and Jumbo Sausage, All complete with mini bottles of Irn Bru, Broon sauce and pickled onions.

What is your venue's most unique feature?

Definitely the exclusive use aspect, Weddings are normally romantic and intimate through the day then at night it opens up as more of a House party 'Home from Home' feel.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We are very proud of the refurbishments we have achieved so far, seeing the before and after of each room we do is incredibly satisfying. Saying that; the part of our business that I am most proud of would be the Team, there is nothing that can be done in any Hospitality venue without a good team so we are very thankful.
