The Most Amazing Wedding Reception
Thank you all for your help to give us the most amazing wedding reception and everything else you have done, we felt like royalty over the entire weekend and a wonderful experience working with you all. A special mention to Barry, Jonathan and Mel who were just the definition of excellence over the weekend, nothing was too much or too little for them. We cannot thank you enough and we look forward seeing you again soon and coming back for our first anniversary.

We Had The Best Day!
Thanks so much for everything to you and the rest of the team (especially Sam) on Saturday. It all went so smoothly and all our guests were so complimentary about the Culloden. We really had the best day! It’s been such a buzz of a week and we’re on such a high still. So many guests have spoken so highly of the Culloden experience. Truly was the best day.

Thank You To The Team
I just wanted to reach out to thank every single member of your team for the absolutely beautiful day a few weeks ago. Everything went perfectly and we were so well taken care of. Thank you for all of your help over the last 2+years! It has been such a pleasure to work with you. I also need to specially call out Barry, who took incredible care of us on the day. He even walked me down the stairs because I was so nervous. He was amazing, can’t say enough good things about him!! Thank you again!!

You Made Our Day So Special
I just wanted to say thanks to you, and everyone at the Culloden who was involved in our wedding day. The day was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better! All staff at the Culloden were great, and the service was just fantastic on the day. The room was set up perfectly, and it looked even better than I had imagined! The food was delicious, and honestly the day just flowed so well, we loved it. We are so happy we chose the Culloden as our venue, everyone loved it.

Highly Recommended
From the first to the final contact with Michelle, our experience of The Culloden has been nothing but positive. Every staff member was friendly and professional and together provided us with a truly memorable day. The quality of professionalism in the setting, service and product both in the run up to and on the day itself was outstanding. The complementary spa membership in the run up to the wedding was a real highlight. I would highly recommend The Culloden as a wedding reception venue.

Made Our Dreams Come True
Two years go we decided to make the move and get married and the Culloden was the first and last venue we viewed. We were greeted by Ainsleigh who was an absolute delight and who explained every detail we needed to know about booking our wedding. I think we spent a good hour looking around and that was our minds set, we were booking The Culloden! We paid the deposit that night and then had a beautiful meal in the restaurant. I would highly recommend The Culloden to any couple looking to book.

The Best Day Ever
We had the best day celebrating our wedding at the Culloden. Ainsleigh couldn't do enough for us during the planning and run up to the wedding, she was amazing!! The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. We are looking forward to staying again next year.

The Most Magical, Wonderful Day
Simply the most magical, wonderful day was had by everyone. From the very beginning of planning our wedding to the day itself, the attention to detail was second to none and the service simply outstanding. We can’t thank the team (in particular Ainsleigh and Aaron) enough. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole process was so easy from start to finish. Our guests were simply blown away by the food and the surroundings and we both felt so special on the most important of our lives.
