The day of our dreams!
When we booked Rowallan for our wedding we never imagined just how perfect it would be. From the start of our journey with Katy and her team they couldn’t do enough for us. Katy was always available for any request via email and we had plenty of in person meetings that put us at ease. The day before we were able to get into the venue with our family to set up and again Katy was on hand to help when it was needed. We booked out the Old Castle the night before for my bridal party and I would highly recommend. We also enjoyed dinner that night at The Glasshouse and the team couldn’t be more attentive. Our wedding day couldn’t have gone smoother, there was no issues and the place looked stunning. All of our guests commented on how incredible the venue, food and staff all were. Ourselves, family and bridal party stayed in the rooms within the main castle and each person commented on how stunning the rooms were, as well as being spotlessly clean! It really was the most perfect weekend and that is all down to the professionalism of Katy and her team. I would highly recommend getting married at Rowallan!

What an incredible venue!
We had an incredible experience at our cousins wedding in September! The venue was beautiful inside & out. The staff looking after us couldn’t be more helpful & the food was so good. We have been to lots of weddings & never had such a great experience.

Worst wedding viewing Don't bother
Very disappointed the viewing was very rushed and was more about the bedrooms. Not personal at all and was meant to receive availability information however, this was never emailed. Booked elsewhere

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!
