We got married here on 18.04.26 and can’t praise the venue and staff enough. Every single person in the team at Dunkeld House hotel went above and beyond for our wedding. We had the most incredible day, it truly was perfect. The whole team were completely on the ball, and ensured our day ran smoothly. The service and food was absolutely amazing, all our guests complimented this. From our original meetings with the hotel, to our menu tasting and final meetings before the day, we were always made to feel in safe hands. Our wedding coordinator Anya’s communication with us was amazing, she was always there if we had any questions or worries and regularly checked in with us throughout the wedding planning process. Anya also made sure to check in with me and my husband throughout our wedding day, and was always supportive and genuinely excited for us. When the weather turned and we had a short spell of light rain, Anya was there instantly with an umbrella, keeping everything calm and stress-free. Anel was equally as amazing, she went above and beyond to look after us. It’s the personal touches that made the difference, such as Anel touching up my lipstick for me throughout the day so I always felt my best, and helping with the high heels when my feet started to hurt from all the dancing! She also got all our guests up cheering for our Mr & Mrs Douglas entrance! Callum was also fantastic, we first met him at our menu tasting where he provided such amazing service. He’s such a chatty, bubbly personality and never failed to make us laugh. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and that kind of attitude doesn’t go unnoticed. The whole team were an absolute pleasure to have around us, on the most important day of our lives. We stayed at Dunkeld House Hotel for 3 nights over our wedding weekend and we also want to thank Alison at reception who had such a welcoming, friendly attitude. Gareth in the restaurant provided top class service to us through our stay, making us feel so welcome. He made a rose from a napkin as a keepsake to remind us of our time at Dunkeld House Hotel. All these personal touches really make such a huge impact on our stay at the hotel and we are so thankful. There was also a Bulgarian waiter in the hotel restaurant who was just amazing and also looked after us so well! But I can’t remember his name sorry! Th

Dunkeld was absolutely the best place to get married. Natasha and the team amde sure that the day ran so smoothly for us, from the moment we decided to get married there about 2 years ago, until the big day in December 2025. Natasha, Callum, Nell, Maisie and Katie made us all so welcome. Natasha organised the day so beautifully, keeping us on track throughout and being a strong and reliant shoulder throughout the day, calming any nerves and ensureing everything ran smoothly. Callum and Nell made sure that the venue was everyhting we wanted, and ensured the smooth running of the evening. Katie and Maisie were amazing behind the bar, so many people raved about how lovely they were, and I think felt like everyone were friends, which was more than we could have asked for. The food was incredible. We opted to go for the additional charge beef and it was worth every single penny. The food tasting was amazing too. We took along my parents to get a borader idea of the food (more dishes to taste) and Dunkeld were so accomodating to do that. Even the bar manager helping us choose the wine genuinley made the experince so much better. The team (in particular Natasha) were so responsive throughout, no question was too silly and they responded so quickly as well. I think we got ectremely good value for money. I didn't have to worry about anything venue, food, drink, decor wise in the run up to the wedding. The venue is so gorgous both inside and out, we got married in the marquees and decorated exactly as we liked. Can't recommend more. My husband and I feel so blessed to have had such an incredible day with such amazing people aro

I couldn't recommend Dunkeld House Hotel more as a wedding venue. From our very first visit and tour, to food and wine tasting and finally the actual wedding day everyone at Dunkeld were absolutely amazing and helped us in every possible way they could. Natasha was the most amazing coordinator we could have ever asked for, entertained everyone of our ideas, was available in person and via Zoom calls whenever we needed. She was the perfect mix of kind, funny, professional and serious you need to manage the most important day in peoples lives. The whole day went perfectly and we did so little as the Dunkeld team handled everything so perfectly. Natasha, Callum and Nell on the day were amazing running around sorting, organising and ensuring everyone was where they should be and again always happy to help with a smile and a laugh. Maisie and Katie behind the bar added to the amazing night, and were lovely throughout the night and even chased down weird drink requests from the main hotel when asked. If you are considering getting married at Dunkeld, and the beautiful hotel and location for some reason aren't enough, then please be aware the whole team will make it the best day ever. I can't thank everyone enough for what th

Thank you so much for helping make our day truly special and ensuring everything ran smoothly, even with the impromptu speeches and the slight delays in timing. From the days leading up to the wedding—when everyone was working hard around the venue to finish the extra decorations and organise the favours—it was clear how much of a team effort it was, and we are incredibly grateful for all your support in creating such a wonderful day in Dunkeld for us and our guests. We are set on making Dunkeld a regular visit for us, and we will definitel

The hotel ticked all the boxes for us! We really wanted a venue with onsite accommodation so we could have all our family, bridal party and guests who were able to stay with us. We found that Dunkeld House Hotel was the only place that offered a lot of accommodation (which was gorgeous!) whilst still having the cosy, country house feel that we were looking for. It also was the perfect place for dinner the night before the wedding - we had a buffet in the Orangery which was a wonderful start to the celebrations. It was really special to

We had our wedding at Dunkeld House Hotel and it was absolutely perfect. The setting by the River Tay is stunning, and our photos are incredible. The staff were so attentive and made the whole day feel relaxed, well-organised, and personal. The ceremony and reception spaces looked beautiful, the food was amazing, and our guests were full of compliments. We truly felt looked after from start to finish

We were married in October 2024 at Dunkeld. Knowing we didn’t want a big traditional wedding, we chose the hotel’s Ashley package, which was perfect for us. It allowed us to enjoy an intimate ceremony and wedding breakfast, followed by a large evening party with all our friends and family. The team at Dunkeld were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. They were professional, supportive, and a pleasure to w

I just wanted to get in touch to pass on such a massive thank you to Natasha and Lauren(please forgive me if I have got her name wrong) and everyone else involved in the hosting and planning of our wedding reception. Everything was so incredibly well thought out and every single member of staff we spoke to or passed throughout the couple of days we stayed with you was a credit to your establishment. An extra thank you to Lauren (again my apologies if I have remembered her name wrong) for providing us with a CD player, this allowed us to listen to some of dads old music. We were spoken to and recognised by staff we spoke to during our visit in April which was incredibly heartwarming and really did make us feel even more special. It’s incredibly clear that the Dunkeld House Hotel are seasoned professionals when it comes to hosting wedding parties as everything was thought of and honestly I cannot praise and compliment the staff enough. Each guest has told us personally that they were so impressed not only with the scenery but the service, the food, the hosting and so many more things that I am struggling to remember. The rooms were beautiful and so well decorated and the planning involved regarding the itinerary for the day was clearly incredibly well thought out. I would particularly like to say a big thank you to the chefs as the food was amazing and I cannot possibly take credit for this despite the numerous compliments I have received regarding the menu. The catering for dietary requirements was more than I could have hoped for, especially being able to provide a last minut

Oh my goodness what an absolute blast it was!! The wedding blues are hitting hard this week! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so much for everything you did for us — the day was absolutely flawless and every single guest has commented on how special it was and just how taken care of they felt throughout the whole day! It was such a well oiled machine and we felt so able to relax and trust the process, which just truly allowed us to enjoy the day! We are so glad we trusted you with our big day, you absolutley brought it all to life down to the tiny details, and it was even more beautiful and special than we could’ve imagined! Your passion for your job absolutely shines through, and we could tell that from the minute we sat down with you for our initial consultation, and we are so honoured that we got to go on the whole journey with you! A huge shout out to Anel also, what an absolute superstar — her organisation was absolute out of this world and nothing ever felt like too much of an ask at all when chatting with her. Her energy was infectious and we felt like she genuinely cared so much about giving us the best day! We also are absolutely so grateful for her pep talks throughout the day/evening, she helped us tackle any nerves we had and kept the vibes high! The pair of you made us feel so relaxed and so special, and we know our guests felt exactly the same, which was all we wanted to accomplish and we feel our expectations were smashed out of the water! I know you already know it, but what an incredible place you work at, the entire team there

Ingrid and I just wanted to write and tell you that although we were unsure at the outset of this journey what kind of day we wanted for our wedding, had we known it would have been exactly what we got! Everything was perfect and of course the hotel and their staff deserve enormous thanks and credit for that. Gordon was a calm presence who kept everything under control and I would also commend Zoe who was working the bar with a cheery smile all night long and is exactly the kind of person I would wish to be representing my business! Everyone loved the setting and the reviews of the food were all first class. And to your contribution eilidh,
