It’s serving 90s rom-com, it’s delivering major Four Weddings (without the funeral) and My Best Friend’s Wedding vibes, and I’m SO here for it.

Some love stories deserve a castle, and Sara and Iain’s fairytale celebration at Cluny Castle was no exception. With the turrets and manicured lawns of this Scottish gem as their backdrop (Sara’s first choice!), their summer wedding day was a heady mix of romance and nostalgia and is the perfect nod to the 90s rom-coms we all secretly (or not-so-secretly) love, yet with a chic, modern twist. There’s a big white marquee, a garden’s worth of white and pink roses, and a bridal gown with all the drama.

Sara’s vision is a love letter to the golden age of romantic comedies and everything that made us swoon back then…and still does! Ready to relive the magic? Keep scrolling…

Every element of Naomi & Ross’s June wedding is completely enchanting, from the location (Cluny Castle is widely considered to be one of the most impressive wedding venues in Scotland) to the setting for the ceremony (a stunning private chapel located at the heart of the castle), and the stylish neutral colour palette incorporated in the outdoor marquee reception. Not forgetting the gents in kilts, a guest appearance from their beloved dog, and their gorgeous wedding portraits with the fairytale castle in the background. All expertly captured by Nicola Drummond Photography.

Cluny Castle stands proudly within 200 acres of impeccable Aberdeenshire countryside. A hidden gem steeped in history, nestled within a peaceful, picturesque setting. 

As well as being an exceptional venue open to a limited number of weddings and events during the year, Cluny Castle is also a beloved family home to Cosmo and Bronya Linzee Gordon, “Bronya and I are delighted to be able to welcome you to our family home for this virtual home tour”.
​
Cluny dates back to the 16th century and while it has been sympathetically restored and renovated over the years, it still exudes Scottish character and a quintessential grace. Guests are warmly invited to create their own unforgettable experiences within the grandeur of this country retreat, in an atmosphere that is both relaxing and welcoming.

We’re kicking 2024 off in epic style with the glorious wedding of Elle & Stuart. Featuring chic all-white bouquets, bridesmaids in champagne, and gents in tonal tweed, their super stylish Summer celebration blended timeless charm and modern romance creating a day that was nothing short of magical! This captivating love story is our first real wedding feature of the year, and we have to say, you’re in for an absolute treat!

“It was like we were living out own fairytale story,” Elle reflects, capturing the essence of a celebration beyond the ordinary. With its breathtaking and lush surroundings, Cluny Castle provided the dreamlike canvas upon which their love story unfolded.

Over to Elle for all the delightful details…..

Katie & Lewis instantly fell in love with Cluny castle as soon as they set eyes on it (well, wouldn’t you?!) and started planning their fairytale wedding straight away. They went on to marry here in early October surrounded by their loved ones and their precious golden Labrador, Eric. Their day was a joyous celebration, filled with fun, laughter and lots of emotion and was a beautiful mix of stunning autumn colours, incredible light and classic romance. If you’re a fan of autumnal tones, men in kilts and that warm October sunshine then you’re going to love this traditional castle wedding.
