Venue Testimonials

The most incredible wedding venue! The grounds and castle itself are absolutely beautiful. The team at Blairquhan are second to none. The staff helped us to have the most amazing wedding. They were incredibly easy to communicate with and nothing was too difficult for them. They were so accommodating and helpful over the whole weekend and in the lead up to the wedding. The hospitality was absolutely fantastic and we honestly cannot thank the team enough, we would love to do it all over again!
