The Barn at Carrick Castle Estate

Our wedding at Carrick Castle was everything we hoped for and more. The reason we chose Carrick Castle to start with was because of pretty specific criteria – we wanted a rustic barn wedding overlooking a Loch! And that’s actually pretty difficult to find. When we visited for the first time, Hannah showed us around the estate, and we knew it was perfect. We loved the fact that we could really make it our own – with everything from the decor through to the food and drink.

On our wedding weekend, we booked all the extra accommodation options, which meant our whole family and wedding party could be on site with us, which was really special.

We were unbelievably lucky with the weather and had a whole weekend of sunshine! Pushing our wedding back one year due to COVID-19 made it all worth it.

Hannah and Darius were so helpful throughout the planning process and the wedding weekend itself, giving recommendations for suppliers, etc. and running through what was available to use on-site with us.

We can’t wait to come back and stay at the Estate in the future!

We got married in April and could not have asked for a more amazing, enchanting and beautiful location for our wedding. The setting of this venue is absolutely stunning, perfect for getting married outdoors with views over the loch. The barn is lovely and perfect for a DIY wedding, which is what we did. Some lovely bits and pieces have been left by previous couples, which you can use to make you’re wedding exactly as you want

Hannah and Cheryl were fantastic and always nearby if you needed anything. They were super flexible and so helpful with logistics, planning the day, and answering our (my) tireless amount of questions!

We got taken up into the hills in the Land Rover for some fantastic photos (definitely some of my favourites from the day), which was just epic! Having the venue for the entire weekend was incredible, and we always felt like we were being looked after from the moment we arrived Friday to when we left Monday. The facilities in the lodge and annexe are AMAZING; our guests (and us) loved everything the place had to offer – I mean, having a morning steam and hot tub on the day of your wedding isn’t something many people can do! It was perfect for our large group, the kitchen and walk-in fridge were ideal for the weekend, and the spaces for getting ready were phenomenal.

Honestly, if you don’t fall in love with this venue when you visit, I would be very surprised. We booked it without actually seeing it in person until not long before the wedding! The location is stunning, the team is incredible, and the lodge is luxurious. Honestly made for our perfect wedding weekend for both us and our guests; it couldn’t have been more special

We had our dream wedding at Carrick Castle estate, which was everything we could have wanted and more. From the beginning, Hannah and Darius made everything easy and accessible, with constant clear communication and understanding of how we wanted our special day to be. When the day finally came around, it was just perfect. The venue is in the most stunning location, and we were lucky enough to have the sunshine come out for the day. We said our vows overlooking the loch with our family and friends watching on. The party continued into the barn for the evening and it was a mixture of simple elegance yet fun and relaxed. We could completely bespoke our day to exactly how we wanted it. My family often say how much they’d love to go back and stay for a special occasion. I would 100% recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, rustic location for their wedding. We wish we could do it all over again!

My husband and I married at Carrick Castle Estate in July 2021 after we got engaged in July 2019. We chose Carrick Castle Estate the same month we got engaged, and for the two years that followed, the run-up to our wedding and the work Hannah and Darius put in was impeccable. From our initial visit to coming back up with my besties to surprise them by asking them to be bridesmaids here and recommending excellent suppliers whilst also giving us the freedom to choose our own – it was everything we could have wished for and more.

The communication was excellent, and even though we had so many questions, we never felt like we were taking up too much of their time. Hannah was one step ahead with all the special touches you could think of. Because we were doing all the decor ourselves, we were also made to feel welcome to come back up a few times before our day to give us the time and space to plan and pull everything together.

The actual day itself could not have been more perfect. I love looking at our photos (from recommender supplier Darren Mitchell) because the setting is unbelievable. The houses are also all stunning, and the barn is light and airy.

We had the houses for the whole weekend, and our guests felt like they were on a luxury weekend away—because they were! We had a great day at our barbecue the next day, catching up with all our loved ones about the day before.

Hannah and Darius have thought of everything. If I could go back, I’d make no changes. Thank you to the team for giving us our best day.

We had a wonderful time planning and celebrating our wedding at Carrick Castle Estate. We wanted somewhere we could make our own but also would provide the perfect backdrop without decorating too much. Carrick Castle Estate was perfect for that! We decided to make a weekend of it and spend as much time as possible with our loved ones and were not disappointed. There are endless possibilities to include small moments of celebration and intimacy. Hannah and Darius worked hard to make our whole weekend special and were always there when we needed them, but they also left us to it and didn’t impose. We even got surprise alpacas at our wedding! We couldn’t have asked for more!

We fell in love with Carrick Castle Estate the moment we saw the views! We loved the idea of having a wedding weekend with our friends and family. Also, it was important for us to have our own personalities within the wedding, and you can really make it your own at Carrick Castle Estate. I still love seeing all the other wedding couple photos because I know everyone will be so beautiful and unique.

We chose to use the barn, lodge, and guest accommodation, and everything was luxurious and outstanding! We had around 100 guests at our wedding, and there was lots of entertainment for kids (bouncy disco castle)!

The team at Carrick Castle Estate is wonderful and accommodating in every way. Hannah and Darius looked after us throughout our wedding planning journey, especially during the most difficult time with Covid rearrangements. They supported us and helped keep our spirits up during the most uncertain times. They made us feel so special and cared for on our wedding day, and nothing was too much trouble.

Our guests still talk about our wedding venue, and we cannot wait to revisit and meet the alpacas! We would highly recommend the best venue with the most wonderful staff and views.

We had our heart set on Carrick Castle Estate when we discovered it while searching for a rustic venue in Scotland. We were not disappointed when we viewed the estate’s stunning location and incredible accommodation. Hannah was extremely supportive during the whole process and simplified everything we needed to do. Hannah was very easy to approach and always had a speedy response and good advice based on previous experiences. We were able to tailor the weekend to be exactly what we wanted it to be, and then the sun came out and made it magical! We always planned an outdoor wedding, and Carrick Castle Estate made that happen – we can’t wait to come back one day!

We had a fantastic time planning our wedding and hosting at Carrick Castle. The team is incredibly friendly, and we loved that we could do whatever we wanted to the event space (within reason!). The team was very responsive, particularly as the big day approached, and they were keen to help make the day run smoothly. The space itself is just absolutely gorgeous, and all of our friends and family were in awe at the incredible scenery. We could not recommend this venue highly enough!
