The planning had been impeccable, every detail thoughtfully considered, all thanks to our incredible wedding planner, Aileen. She transformed our dream into a reality with her expertise, organisation skills, and just genuinely being the person we could always rely on. It was a day made perfect by everyone involved. As we looked around at the smiles and tears of happiness around us, we knew that this was just the start of our incredible journey to follow.

The difference with Dundas Castle is not only the venue but the staff; they are professional, attentive and discreet. They are always there to help you but also just enough in the background to not impose on you or your event. In summary, the test of a great event is not only the venue but the staff and the big question "would you use us again"? With Dundas Castle, there would most definitely be a resounding YES!
Elaine Little, Events Coordinator, Scottish Widows
With the help of the entire Dundas Castle team, we truly had the fairytale wedding of our dreams. The exquisite venue was the most magnificent backdrop for our weekend, full of love and laughter. We wholeheartedly recommend Dundas Castle for celebrating any of life’s important moments. We will treasure the memories we made at Dundas Castle for the rest of our lives.

An enormous thank you to you and your team for all your hard work in making yesterday run seamlessly. What a superb service you gave us. You have been so accommodating of all our requests throughout the organisation and on the day itself. It made the whole thing a much easier task for us knowing there was such a professional and capable team dealing with us. Thank you so very much.

The venue certainly combines the old and the new with the beautiful castle and grounds, and the flexibility the pavilion gives to staging larger events, backed by a truly professional team, excellent catering and event management.
