Auchen Castle

We had a truly spectacular event. Everything was above and beyond, and Auchen's staff really took care of every single detail. It was so beautiful, so well-organised, and truly just perfect.

We got married at Auchen Castle last month and it was an incredible day. I can’t thank everyone enough for making my vision come true and for being so accommodating. Our day ran perfectly, and it was everything we could have asked for and more. The staff are all absolutely incredible and so friendly, which make the venue that much more special. Special shout out to Sarah, Lynne and Fiona who are the absolute dream team and are so lovely. The Castle itself is absolutely beautiful, tastefully decorated and the surroundings make the perfect setting. The accommodation is brilliant and was so handy to have and we were able to make a weekend of it which was exactly what we wanted. The food is amazing, and there is so much variety to please everyone. Our guests absolutely raved about our day, they loved the castle. As a bonus it’s a dog friendly which meant we were able to have our pups celebrate with us on our big day. It meant the world to us to have them there. I couldn’t recommend the castle more if you’re looking for a venue, the staff, setting, food, accommodation and everything else was a 10/10 and if we could do it all over again we would!

We got engaged when our boys were 11 months, and 2 years. I had recently returned to work as a teacher (after two maternity leaves), the thought of planning a wedding was overwhelming. But we took the plunge at attended an open day at Auchen Castle and were sold. The whole progress felt effortless from start to finish, whilst still feeling unique and personal to us. I couldn't recommend the castle more.

Just back from an incredible weekend stay for Mr & Mrs Osborne wedding. The Castle is set in a stunning private location. This is an ideal wedding venue. This experience wouldn't have been the same without the staff who were so warm, friendly highly proffessional and just couldn't do enough for you. Thank you Castle Staff for your amazing efforts. you made this such an unforgettable occasion. I'm so pleased to have experienced your venue and you totally deserve 5 star status. Love & Best wishes.

We got married here in September 17th. We had exclusive use of the venue on Friday and Saturday. It was worth the extra day as it allowed the bridal party and close family to arrive the day before, settle in and relax before the big day. The grounds were stunning and we got many compliments on how beautiful it was. The staff were outstanding with all our requests and needs. A special thank you to Fiona, Lynn, Sarah and Roy.

We had our wedding on the 29th of September. Our wedding coordinator Lynn was fantastic,she was there from when we first booked to the moment we left and nothing was too much trouble.. The castle was amazing and the food was out of this world. All the staff was very friendly and very professional.. Both me and my wife had a perfect wedding due to Lynn and the staff we couldn't have asked for more. All our family and guests were treated fantastic and all commented how perfect everything was.. I would highly recommend Auchen castle to anyone who is looking for a perfect venue for their dream wedding.

Where to even begin? The entire team at Auchen Castle gave us the most incredible and unforgettable wedding and there are not enough words to say how thankful we are. Sarah was incredibly accommodating from the day that our planner reached out for date availability, to the day that she dropped off our marriage schedule at the Lockerbie library on our behalf. Planning a destination wedding at a venue you have never seen and with vendors you have never spoken to can be quite nerve wracking. However, I had the utmost confidence in Sarah and they blew our expectations out of the water. My bridal party arrived at the same time that another wedding was checking out, and while I’m sure that was incredibly hectic and chaotic for everyone at Auchen Castle, you would never know it. We bought the “all things taken care of package.” Every vendor that was chosen for us we’re professional and did an amazing job. Our flowers were some of the prettiest arrangements I had ever seen, our cake was beautiful, the piper was amazing, the DJ was SO fun, and our hair and makeup team took on the task of 9 girls and nailed it. To top off the ceremony, we had the owl do a meet and greet afterwards which was a such a unique highlight of the day. When it came time to start gathering for the ceremony, Fiona was on top of everything. She made sure that everything happened when it was supposed to and I didn’t have to stress a single moment about anything at all. The biggest gift of all was getting to focus on our friends and family and enjoy our wedding. We were blessed to be able to have our ceremony outside in front of the fountain and it was prettier than I ever imagined, and the castle made for a stunning backdrop. The cocktail hour was enjoyed by everyone and the canapés were delicious. The reception space was beautiful; with big windows and views of the hills. The 3 course dinner was incredible and every meal was carefully plated. Because we planned this in such a short window of time, a lot of changes with our guest list and bridal party happened and Sarah and her team always were incredibly understanding and accommodating to those changes. And every time we thought we knew what to expect, Auchen Castle surprised us with yet another perk of our package. We were surprised at every turn over the 4 month planning period. All of our guests stayed in the castle the night of the wedding and each room was as stunning as the next. We couldn’t believe that this was OUR wedding. Breakfast the next morning was equally as delicious as dinner and the perfect way to cap off the weekend. Thank you does not seem sufficient but thank you for giving us the best wedding ever. We are forever grateful.
