Description

Think of it as traditional Scottish hospitality and romance enlivened with a splash of 21st century attitude. We have put a great deal of care and craftsmanship into creating a place made for love, laughter and celebration – and we believe you and your wedding guests will love it as much as we do. Steeped as we are in Scottish tradition – and proud of our locally sourced and seasonal menus – we are as comfortable with the most sophisticated world cuisine as with a themed banquet. To whet your appetite, cast your eye over our selection of wedding menu packages – and feel free to ask your wedding planner about mixing and matching dishes. If you have something particular in mind, no matter how exotic, don’t hesitate to let us know – because nothing excites our award-winning chefs like the challenge of creating a bespoke menu for you. With the bridal suite, special rates on rooms and suites and complimentary use of our spa for overnight guests all wrapped up in your wedding package, the only thing you need to think about on the day is yourself, your partner and your new life together.

Our day couldn’t have been any better
Obviously when getting married the venue is probably one of the biggest make or break factors as it’s the just for everyone coming - guests and vendors -, they provide the food and your amoungst all their staff. I can truly say that Ardoe was the perfect venue for us and they made the lead up to the wedding and the day so amazing. The venue itself is so stunning with classic castle vibes in the grounds and inside but the events took themselves having a little bit more of a modern vibe to them. Eilidh the wedding coordinator is so lovely and leading up to the wedding was more than happy to help with any questions. On the day itself she was regularly checking in to make sure all was running smoothly and if there’s anything we wanted tweaked or done differently. The master of ceremonies - such a lovely guy! He looked after us so well from getting drinks for us in between getting our pictures done, making sure we had canapés when we got back and were mingling with guests and reassured us before entering the wedding breakfast. The rest of the staff - all so lovely and kind. Nothing was too big an ask for them and everyone we interacted with was so excited for us and willing to help in any way they could. When we initially booked Ardoe in 2022 we had our doubts as a lot was going round they may not have had the best few years. We are so glad we went with our gut though and picked them for our special day as they were nothing but amazing through the whole process!!

What an AMAZING day!
What a truly amazing day at Ardoe! We honestly couldn't have asked for anything more for our special day. From the very start of the journey, our first visit to Ardoe, to checking out the day after the wedding the team at Ardoe have been nothing but supportive and accommodating. Nothing was ever a problem, everything we requested was taken on board, the team were so hands on. The timing on the day was perfect and everything ran so smoothly. Eilidh did an amazing job and helped us so much in the lead up to the big day. Our guests truly loved the food, venue and we were blessed with some sun too! If you are thinking about having your wedding at Ardoe please do go and take a look around and meet the team - you won't regret it! Thank you team Ardoe from Mrs and Mrs Benford!

Happy parents of the Bride
From the beginning of my daughter and her fiancé journey to arranging their wedding to the day your staff have been so helpful and supportive. The venue was stunning, food amazing and your staff were perfect. Nothing was too much for them and they kept checking in with us throughout the day and evening. I would definitely recommend Ardoe House.

Describe the best wedding that happened at Aberdeen, Ardoe House Hotel and Spa?

All weddings are special in their own way. I love how every wedding is different and how personal couples make the day so every couple has the best wedding ever.

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

Create a playlist (or multiple) to have as background music for pre ceremony, during the drinks reception and during the meal. This will create a nice ambiance for your day. We have a portable Bluetooth speaker which couples are welcome to use for their special day.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

As the bride was German, a lot of her family either spoke very little/no English. To accommodate this the wedding programme had the ceremony in German, their favour tags were written in German and her sister translated all of the speeches to allow all guests to be involved in every aspect of the wedding.

Describe Aberdeen, Ardoe House Hotel and Spa in 5 adjectives

Where’s the best photo spot at Aberdeen, Ardoe House Hotel and Spa?

We have many amazing spots both inside and outside the hotel, however my top three would be: - The front door under the arches as this creates some beautiful shaping and the perfect space for your big group photos (and confetti shots) - The tree stump, our braver couples love to stand on the stump and get the whole hotel and lawn behind them creating the perfect backdrop for their photos (especially in golden hour) - Visiting our cows, they love to get photos with our couples and they create some excellent, unique photos for your wedding.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Aberdeen, Ardoe House Hotel and Spa?

While we have had many famous hotel guests we are yet to have any famous wedding couples or guests, however we would love to have in the future

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

My favourite midnight treat is our dirty fries station as there is nothing better at the end of the night than chip and curry sauce!
