“From the moment Mihir and I booked our wedding with Thirlestane to actual weekend itself, it has all been such an easy process. Thirlestane is so so lucky to have you and the rest the of the team. You made everything so smooth and seamless whilst also providing ideas and input that we needed. Nothing was too big for you, I mean you went out and got us beers on the Friday night! Thirlestane is a wonderful location with beautiful suites and rooms and if we were to redo my wedding again, we’d pick Thirlestane every single time. Our family and friends have said it was the best wedding they’d ever been to and so many commented on you Monica. I’m not sure how anyone or any place could top Thirlestane! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“Justine and I just wanted to reach out to say a massive thank you to you and the whole team at Thirlestane. We were blessed to have the most wonderful day, and you were instrumental in making it happen. You were extremely supportive and patient with us during the whole planning process, and your guidance on the day itself was very appreciated.”

“We could not be happier with our choice of venue in Thirlestane Castle. From the moment we visited, we were in awe of the beauty of the architecture and interiors, the surrounding grounds, and the amazing history of the Castle. Monica and the entire Thirlestane Castle team were amazing partners to work with both during the planning process and on the day of. They were incredibly organized, welcoming, and experienced. We love the bespoke nature of the wedding planning process and were able to create a unique set of experiences for our guests, utilizing multiple spaces across the property. One of the highlights of our weekend was the fact that both families as well as the bridal party could stay on site. Overall, for any couples looking for an unforgettable, stunningly beautiful, unique, and historic wedding venue close to Edinburgh, we could not recommend Thirlestane Castle highly enough!”   

“As we looked for venues around Edinburgh, Thirlestane stood out with its unique combination of beautiful, historic interior spaces, incredible grounds, and idyllic surroundings in the Borders. From the very start of taking a venue tour, we felt so welcomed and excited. The ceremony in the Rose Garden and drinks reception were amazing backdrops to help us appreciate the day’s significance. Our friends and family have singled out the overall experience as one of the most special they’ve had, and we couldn’t agree more. We had the best weekend of our lives at Thirlestane Castle, and we can’t wait to come back to celebrate!”

“Thirlestane Castle was the perfect location for our wedding with stunning views and a fascinating history. The hospitality and attention to detail from the Thirlestane team was incredible, Monica was such a source of support and steady calm in the build-up and throughout the day. So many of our friends and family commented on how the whole day was unlike anything they’d ever experienced before – an absolute dream. Thanks to the Thirlestane staff for everything!”

“From start to finish, the team were amazing at ensuring we had thought of everything – wedding planning is a daunting experience, but their expertise and professionalism helped to ensure it was a smooth sailing journey for us. Nothing was ever too much hassle… we really appreciated them taking that last-minute stress off our shoulders. Any bride and groom in the future would be incredibly lucky to work with Thirlestane Castle’s team to put together their special day.”

“That first drive up the gravel lane, where you see the front of the castle is unmatched. We remember it fondly from the first time we visited, and watching our guests experience it was so fun.

From day one, Sarah, Monica and the team were excited about our vision and encouraged us to get creative using the various available spaces. During the two days we spent at the castle, the team went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, that the spaces and parts of the grounds we used were pristine and that everything was going smoothly.”

“We loved that Thirlestane was a more personal experience. We liked that Thirlestane didn’t have a wedding every weekend and that we could really personalise our day rather than choosing this or that from a list. It really felt like from the beginning, that nothing was too much trouble, and that continued to the week itself. Everyone spoke so highly of the venue and the event, and that’s in no small part to the team at Thirlestane who pulled it all together.”

“We would just like to say thank you to the staff at the castle for making Saturday such a special day for our family, everyone was extremely friendly and courteous. It is a stunning setting, and the weather was great.”
