Aberdeen, Ardoe House Hotel and Spa

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!!

We had the most perfect wedding day at Ardoe House, made even better by the fact our dog could join us. The staff were lovely, the venue was gorgeous and the food was amazing

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!

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.

‘Ardoe and especially Eilidh were so supportive and kept me up-to-date with everything before the wedding. On the day itself everything was perfect, we felt supported throughout the day from the minute housekeeping attended our room in the morning to having breakfast delivered, being updated that all guests have arrived, and Eilidh constantly checking in on myself and my family throughout the whole day and evening. Ardoe made our big day that little bit more special’
