"We not only had the time of our lives but many of our wedding guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever attended!…… For all the efforts mentioned, and more, we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue for our wedding day."
Jenny & Nick
"We wanted to take the Garden Party theme and add a Scottish flavour, reflecting our Scottish roots. We added hay bales with tartan rugs, wheelbarrows full of iced beer (‘beer-barrows’), Jazz on the lawn (by the Ritz Trio), hula-hoops, croquet and football. Guests enjoyed delicious antipasti from outdoor stalls on personalised wooden chopping boards."
