Venue Testimonials
Neither I nor my husband would hesitate to recommend Cluny as a wedding venue to others, it could easily be rated more than a five-star location, coupled with staff who also deserve more than a five-star rating. It's top marks all round!

A beautiful array of autumn colours filled the grounds providing a stunning backdrop for photos. Cluny Castle always proves to be an exceptional wedding venue, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering getting married. Not only were the staff and grounds amazing but the castle itself is a maze of spectacular rooms.
