Full Description
There is one aspect of the special day for which many brides have a shared vision – the venue.
Raemoir House is unique in that not only do you have exclusive use of the House and Estate. The House is provided fully staffed 24/7 who provide for all your requirements and will assist in creating a truly memorable and bespoke experience.
Situated just 30 minutes from Aberdeen in the heart of rural Royal Deeside, Raemoir is a beautiful traditional Georgian house that provides the perfect backdrop for a fairytale wedding. Tucked away at the end of an extensive tree-lined drive, the first impression is one of grandeur, but step over the threshold and it feels just like home, which is exactly how owners Neil and Julie Rae encourage you to think.
The House literally becomes your personal country retreat for your stay. From the wood-panelled sitting room with oversized armchairs and roaring open fire to the Oval Ballroom with its flock velvet wall coverings and sweeping views of the grounds outside, your event can be tailored to suit you and your guests.
Weddings are the culmination of a lifetime of dreams and wishes rolled into one momentous event. Planning one can seem a daunting task at first, but take the time to visit to Raemoir and you may find that realising your vision is just a tree-lined drive away.
Personal Message from the Manager
Name of Wedding Contact: Neil Rae
At Raemoir, when planning your wedding, we encourage you to consider the house as if it were your own. Many venues have a fixed format for weddings and find it difficult to offer anything else, we want yours to be as personal as possible so we work with every bride individually to deliver your wedding, not ours!

We fell for Raemoir straight away
The whole venue and surrounding grounds is exactly what we were looking for in a wedding venue, somewhere with character and accommodation to suit all of our family needs. We love that Raemoir is exclusive use only meaning the weekend will be all that more special.
Neil has been great at communicating with us both over email and in person, allowing us to have a further show around and we appreciate that all the costs are given at the start meaning we don’t have to worry about hidden costs appearing after the wedding day.
We fell for Raemoir straight away and have booked our wedding without actually looking at any other venues because we feel we will not find another venue that takes our breath away, ticks all the boxes and allows the venue and grounds to be exclusive use. Having our families together the night before with a meal of our choice is also just fantastic. We can’t wait to get married!

Venue steps in to make covid-hit wedding a reality for Aberdeen couple
Thankfully Raemoir House came to the rescue.
Nestled in 14 acres of private and secluded parkland in the heart of Royal Deeside, the Banchory-based country house and estate was able to host the event with just three days notice.
Mr Cheyne, who was married on December 23, spoke of his delight: “We emailed Raemoir and they were more than happy to help and give us what we wanted at such short notice.
“They went above and beyond to make our day perfect.
“They matched our previous menu so we didn’t have any last minute hiccups.
“We were absolutely devastated when we heard the news and the reality of postponing our wedding for a second time.
