More than amazing, our life saver. After having to change our venue at the last minute, Michelle from Auchendarroch was amazing. She fitted us in and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We are so pleased we went with Auchendarroch house and it was the most perfect day. Worth every penny.

Michelle and the team at Auchendarroch House are amazing. The venue and grounds were perfect for our wedding. Michelle leaves no detail unattended, going above and beyond. Our day went so smoothly with Michelle and her team attending to every detail. I can't recommend Auchendarroch House enough, it was the best choice we made.

We received such wonderful feedback from our guests in relation to our wedding at Auchendarroch. Michelle and her team worked endlessly for us so we could have the wedding of our dreams. Michelle was easy to communicate with, was organised and made every single effort possible to help our wishes come to life. Our guests were fed well and cared for especially well. We couldn’t be more grateful to Michelle, she was there from morning to late night to make sure everything was perfect.

Terrific reception venue with wonderful staff. Very picturesque inside and out. Catering was wonderful, our guests loved it. Michelle and Annie made the whole experience seamless and stress free. The staff truly went above and beyond, and the head chef catered expertly to dietary requirements.
