Everything was perfect!Everything was perfect!
We both had the most amazing day from start to finish, even with the rain! Everything was perfect and we felt so well looked after. Everyone in the bridal party loves you (Rhona) and we were all saying how lucky we were to have you keeping us right. We have felt in such safe hands since our first meeting and knew that we could trust you to pull everything off perfectly, and you did! We always love coming to Haddo for walks and now it’ll be even more special. Can't express how thankful we are! We both had the most amazing day from start to finish, even with the rain!

I love a wedding at Haddo HouseI 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.As a wedding photographer, I have done a number of weddings at Haddo House.

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!

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!!

Best wedding, fabulous venue!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!
