Happy couple married in October

Stunning venue, amazing team

We fell in love with Venachar Lochside the day we went to view it, but it was the team that sealed the deal. All the staff at Venachar Lochside are just incredible! Sue is so laid back she’s almost horizontal! She is the perfect person to deal with your stresses as she is just so calm and collected. Megan has done the most amazing job turning the venue into what it is today. We couldn’t have been happier with how our day went. If you don’t fall in love with the most stunning views, you will fall in love with the people there!

Try your best not to get stressed over little things. Weddings are supposed to be the most relaxed and best day of your lives so enjoy every minute of it.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

It's really difficult to choose a favourite as there has been so many lovely things that people have added to their wedding to make it theirs. I think if I had to choose I would say when people find a way to include their pets in their wedding.
