THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL WEDDING
I would like to say thank you to you and your team for providing the best wedding ever. My phone has never stopped with guests saying that is the best wedding ever they have attended – the venue, the food, the staff, the Wedding rooms and the bedrooms were all superb. Your attention to detail was first class and everything was seamless. We are all still on a high – it was a wonderful day made even more special by you and your team. Brilliant venue and brilliant team

It was just perfect
Truly, I can't thank you enough for all the wonderful memories that you have made for us and everything you did, right down to all the tiny details. It was just perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Everything was incredible - please let chef know that the food was absolutely delicious and we have a few Cranachan converts south of the border now!

You really did go above and beyond
Thank you again for all your hard work, you really made our day what is was and that was perfect. Me and Josh and all our wedding party really were just able to sit back and relax and enjoy our full weekend because we knew you had everything under control! You really did go above and beyond and I don’t think we will ever be able to thank you enough. Rowallan Castle as a venue is of course out of this world but we literally could never have imagined our day being so perfect.

We both had such a great time
Just a quick email to say thanks to you and the team at Rowallan for Saturday and all your help over the last 12months or so and in the lead up to preparing for last weekend. We both had such a great time (as did our guests). Everything worked out really well and probably better than planned. The food was fantastic and thanks for all your efforts!

I want to thank you for all your hard work
I want to thank you for all your hard work to make the Davidson Wedding a happy occasion. When we arrived at the castle, the snow was falling, making for a beautiful atmospheric setting. The entrance hall looked stunning with the big fire, Christmas tree, and decorations. The dining room and library room were just beautiful. All the staff was very courteous and arriving guests felt very welcome.
