I love a wedding at Haddo House
As a wedding photographer, I have done a number of weddings at Haddo House. The house and the grounds are so beautiful. It is a very versatile venue with the barn which is a blank canvas, great for dinner and dancing. The team are always so welcoming and I would highly recommend Haddo House as a wedding venue in Aberdeenshire.

Perfect setting!
Dear Rhona We can't thank you enough for all your help and support on the run up, during and after Louise and Michael's wedding. The House and Hall were just the perfect setting and the Chapel looked stunning - your help and advice during the rehearsal made it all run smoothly. I have to say several people commented on how you managed the wedding party and guests so efficiently - Haddo are lucky to have you! Much love and thanks Dawn & Alasdair

Best day of our lives!
Dear Rhona Finding the words to thank you is not an easy task!! You really are the very very best in your field and we feel so lucky to have had you as our point of contact throughout our Wedding experience. Your warmth, professionalism, organisation and dedication are second to none. You really were the reason we can now dub our wedding day the best day of our lives. Please also pass on our sincere thanks to Petra for all she did to make the day so special, I was especially VERY grateful to her fixing my hair ahead of the first dance but I know this was just a drop in the ocean to the colossal work you both put in!! With best wishes and love, Mr and Mrs MacGillivray X

Best wedding, fabulous venue!
Dear Rhona I wanted to thank you for the lovely way you oversaw and made sure that Patrick and Jeanne's wedding day went as smoothly as it did. We loved it from the start - with the beautiful service in the chapel. After this the gardens were such a wonderful place to stand and chat and then the confetti throw over the bridge and groom on the steps was such fun. I really enjoyed the house tour as did the others who joined me - your volunteer was very kind and well informed. Many guests also enjoyed sitting in the gardens during the photos and on the steps chatting. The hall was super place for the dinner and ceilidh. We really all had such a wonderful day and some told me it was the best wedding they had been to. Haddo is a fabulous venue - but alongside that we really appreciated your support and help behind the scenes making sure everything went without a hitch. Thank you again for all your input! Kind regards, Kate

Beautiful
I attended a friends wedding in the little chapel and then into Haddo House for drinks and some food. They were both stunning and the views were amazing.

Amazing place!
We were at Haddo House for a wedding back in April and what an amazing place it is! The building itself is incredibly charming, rich on history and nothing less than a dream location for a couple to get married, I'm sure. We were treated to a private tour by one of the finest men I've met!
