Description

There is one aspect of the special day for which many brides have a shared vision – the venue. Raemoir House is unique in that not only do you have exclusive use of the House and grounds all year round but that it is provided with our private team of staff including chefs ensuring all your service and catering requirements are met. They will assist in creating a truly memorable and bespoke experience where your last memories on departure will be of your day of days and not of clearing up after a weekend of self-catering! Situated less than 30 minutes from Aberdeen in the heart of rural Royal Deeside, Raemoir is a beautiful, traditional Georgian house that provides the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding. Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined drive the first impression is one of grandeur but step over the threshold and the house feels just like a home, which is exactly how owners Neil and Julie Rae encourage you to think about Raemoir when planning your celebration. Raemoir literally becomes your home from home, your personal country retreat for the time you are here. From the 16 ensuite double bedrooms, the wood-panelled Sitting Room with oversized armchairs and the Big Fish Bar to the Oval Ballroom with its flock velvet wall coverings and sweeping views of the grounds outside, you have the opportunity to tailor everything to suit you and your guests. Weddings are the culmination of a lifetime of dreams and wishes rolled into one momentous event. Planning one can seem a daunting task but we help take care of all that for you. Take the time to visit to Raemoir and you may find that realising your vision is just a tree-lined drive away.

Personal Message from the Manager

Name of Wedding Contact: Julie Love
At Raemoir, when planning your wedding, we encourage you to consider the house as if it were your own. Many venues have a fixed format for weddings and find it difficult to offer anything else, we want yours to be as personal as possible so we work with every bride individually to deliver your wedding, not ours!

Food!

I have dietary requirements due to feeding my son who has a dairy allergy and I have genuinely never felt so well catered for! I had to cut out dairy too and in many scenarios when eating out, was always met with what felt like annoyance and very little effort made to cater. I just felt that you guys went above and beyond to supply those with alternatives that didn’t make them feel like they had to sit and eat an entirely different or bland meal.

Thankyou again for everything

Good morning. We just wanted to send a little messgae to say thankyou so much for everything last weekend. We had the most amazing day and thoroughly enjoyed our time (once the rain decided to ease off a bit) The fact our dog could also be there with us was just the best. All the staff went above and beyond and we're so accommodating and friendly which made the experience all the more amazing. Our guests even commented on how lovely and friendly they all were. The food was also mentioned a lot and every meal we had was just utterly delicious. Thank you again for everything

From the bottom of our hearts, thankyou

Dear Neil and all of the Raemoir staff, From the bottom of our hearts thankyou for hosting out wedding in July and for all that you did in the preparation of our celebration. The day brought so many special memories and we were grateful to have our wedding in such a wonderful location. We really appreciate the extra time spent helping out with dietary restrictions and special requests. The staff have excellent attention to detail and the whole team deserves credit. The day itself went well and many people commented so favourably on what a wonderful location Raemoir was to have a wedding at and we are still hearing compliments about the food quality and impressive scones.

We fell for Raemoir straight away

The whole venue and surrounding grounds is exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue, somewhere with character and accommodation to suit all of our family needs. We love that Raemoir is exclusive use only meaning the weekend will be all that more special. Neil has been great at communicating with us both over email and in person, allowing us to have a further show around and we appreciate that all the costs are given at the start meaning we don’t have to worry about hidden costs appearing after the wedding day. We fell for Raemoir straight away and have booked our wedding without actually looking at any other venues because we feel we will not find another venue that takes our breath away, ticks all the boxes and allows the venue and grounds to be exclusive use. Having our families together the night before with a meal of our choice is also just fantastic. We can’t wait to get married!

Venue steps in to make covid-hit wedding a reality for Aberdeen couple

Thankfully Raemoir House came to the rescue. Nestled in 14 acres of private and secluded parkland in the heart of Royal Deeside, the Banchory-based country house and estate was able to host the event with just three days notice. Mr Cheyne, who was married on December 23, spoke of his delight: “We emailed Raemoir and they were more than happy to help and give us what we wanted at such short notice. “They went above and beyond to make our day perfect. “They matched our previous menu so we didn’t have any last minute hiccups. “We were absolutely devastated when we heard the news and the reality of postponing our wedding for a second time.

Describe Raemoir House in 5 adjectives

Unique, private, indulgent, homely, yours

Where’s the best photo spot at Raemoir House?

Difficult to pick one as everyone's tastes are different. There is the Woodland Cathedral; under the 200 year old Wellingtonia tree; at the top of the hill behind the house with the fabulous panorama of the surrounding countryside in the background to name but three

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Raemoir House?

The venue is completely private and secluded and in its time has seen royals, celebrities and politicians walk through the door. Each guest enjoys the discretion that is provided so you may never know who has walked the hallways or slept in that bed before you......but you will know that you have been here as well!

What’s your favourite canapé?

It has to be the Haggis Bon Bon! Can't seem to make enough of them

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Scampi! The first time we tried this there was a queue down the hall which is over 100ft long so there was a frantic effort by the kitchen to keep up but definitely a hit.

What is Raemoir House most unique feature?

Fully staffed for all service and catering requirements which complements its complete seclusion and privacy in 14 acres of landscaped grounds. Our 3D Tours: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=11Jo2raiJoE and https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=h2Fe4gZ9aZx
