We would highly recommend this venue for weddings
We attended our sister's wedding there. We drove up from the Wirral it was a beautiful drive. The scenery was spectacular. Once we arrived at the castle the driveway was ever so long but what a pleasant surprise to see the castle once we reached the end.

Couldn't have chosen a better venue for our weddin
Couldn't have chosen a better venue for our wedding. Everything about Drumtochty Castle was perfection. We loved the beautiful grounds it was set in, the gorgeous rooms and the incredible food. The staff were absolutely amazing and it was fantastic having it to ourselves. Our only regret is that we didn't book an extra night there to enjoy it further.

Looking forward to our next visit.
We’ve filmed weddings at Drumtochty Castle a few times over the years and love it, the location speaks for itself with beautiful photo spots easily accessible. The service and staff are great, really attentive whenever we need anything even as a supplier, we are made to feel special, and the food is great. Looking forward to our next visit.

Beautiful building
Beautiful building, and the staff were so kinda and helpful! I was there for 4 days for a wedding and every meal that was served was delicious and a very large portion. The rooms were beautiful, and we were free to explore the grounds. There was always something to do/explore.

The venue itself is stunning
We just had our wedding at Drumtochty Castle and all we can say is WOW! We had the weekend of our lives! We cannot praise the staff highly enough with Nikki and Tamsin being so accommodating with every request and being so welcoming! A special mention must also go to Eve and other staff who were so helpful and made us feel so special! The venue itself is stunning and all our guests couldn’t get over how beautiful it was

The only place you should look for a wedding
A venue specialising in weddings, exclusive hire for over 100 guests, and no sound restriction… what more could you ask for! a church onsite, multiple accommodation types and incredible food. Set back, the venue has so much to offer. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding weekend.

It was absolutely wonderful
We had our wedding at Drumtochty Castle in December and it was absolutely wonderful. Nicky and Tamsin were fantastic throughout the planning process. Their communication was wonderful and they did anything they could to help. From arrival we were made to feel at home at this beautiful venue. The staff were very attentive, polite and helpful and were happy to do anything they could to make the day special. The food was wonderful,both at our tasting day, where we felt so welcome and looked after and equally so on the wedding day. I really could not fault a single thing about the venue from start to finish and would like to thank all the staff and management for helping to create such special memories. xx

We had the most magical wedding at Drumtochty
We had the most magical wedding at Drumtochty Castle. Nothing was too much for Nikki and the team, they were willing to help us with anything we wanted. The castle itself is just beautiful and the church... wow. I couldn't have built anything more perfect in my dreams! Because most of our guests could stay on site, the weekend felt surprisingly relaxed - it was just one big party for everyone. And having the whole place to ourselves was wonderful. We could party 'til we dropped! This place has a special place in our hearts. We'll be back one day for an anniversary party!
