We had the most amazing wedding reception at the Culloden. I can’t praise the team highly enough. Their attention to detail was superb. They went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our wedding was memorable for all of the right reasons. All of our guests commented on how beautiful the food was and how attentive the staff were. I would highly recommend having a wedding at the Culloden. Our experience was exceptional. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly, welcoming and incredibly helpful. I would do it all again in a heartbeat!

A dream come true! We went to view the Culloden in March 2022, the first and only hotel we needed to look at. Michelle was welcoming, accomodating and kind. From this day on, Michelle was available, answering any questions and making sure that we had the day of our dreams. Being a 5* hotel, we got the 5* treatment. Michelle and the team at the Culloden could not have done anything more and if we could do it all again - we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you for allowing the best beginning of our story as a married couple.

James, Michelle, Josh and the wider team at the Culloden did everything they could to make our wedding day the most special! We had the most wonderful day, and our guests still talk about how delicious the food was, and how lovely all the service staff were. We loved every minute of our day, and would recommend the Culloden to anyone looking for a venue where you can focus on enjoying your day and not the details - as the Culloden will make sure to take care of them!

We had our wedding at the Culloden Estate and Spa hotel on 27/5/23. During the build up to the wedding, Ainsleigh our events manager, was on hand for any worry or query. She went above and beyond to help make our day run smoothly but also helped add those special touches to make our wedding our own. I was so impressed by her speedy email replies and anytime we met up with her, her enthusiasm and passion for her job was contagious. She made every aspect of planning enjoyable. The grounds at the Culloden are so beautiful and our guests were able to enjoy our drinks reception on the terrace and take a walk around the gardens. We had our string quartet play out of the terrace, the scenery is stunning! Our reception was then in the Stuart suite which has the most incredible views from their floor to ceiling windows behind the top table. The food and service was flawless, Josh our master of ceremonies ensured our guests were taken care of and the speeches went as planned. The following day, we enjoyed a beautiful buffet breakfast followed by relaxation in the spa, with massage treatments, which was perfect after a busy day and build up. This left us ready to enjoy drinks and dinner with family and friends at the Cultra Inn. We couldn’t recommend the Culloden Estate and Spa enough.

Our wedding in the Culloden Estate was nothing short of a dream come true. From the first moment we arrived for our first meeting until the last moment when I was dragged off the dance floor after having one too many, our day, thanks to each and every staff member that took part, was perfect. That is coming from a self certified perfectionist who will find issue with anything. The setting speaks for itself and is nothing short of breathtaking. Nestled among lush gardens and overlooking Belfast Loch to the town where I grew up, made the magic all the more real. Without using a cliche (but in actual fact using a cliche), it was like something from a fairytale. If the venue was something from a fairytale then each and every staff member we spoke to, dealt with, went to with an issue was in their very own way a fairy godmother/father/person. I have genuinely never experienced service like it. Right from the housekeeping staff, all the way to our event manager the perfect, delightful, fun, helpful and infectiously happy Ainsleigh Baxter. What surprised me most in the lead up to the wedding, Ainsleigh and then on the day of the wedding, all of the other staff, seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realised what they were and each and ever one of them executed our day FLAWLESSLY. Their warmth and their attentivness added to what was already a magical day and neither myself nor my husband can ever really thank the team and Ainsleigh enough. There are genuinely no words that I can possible write that will do justice to what Ainsleigh did for us. She took the time to know us, our vision and our story. Each and every time she made us feel like we were the only two in the world that mattered. Her warmth, laugh and happiness is infectious and if ever there was someone in the perfect job for who/what they are, it is Ainsleigh Baxter. Thanks to her (and all of the other staff), our wedding was the most magical and perfect day we will never forget.

What can I say? Simply the most magical, wonderful day was had by everyone. From the very beginning of planning our wedding to the day itself, the attention to detail was second to none and the service simply outstanding. We can’t thank the team (in particular Ainsleigh and Aaron) enough. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole process was so easy from start to finish. Our guests were simply blown away by the food and the surroundings and we both felt so special on what was the most important day of our lives. Thank you to you all! We couldn’t have asked for more!!

Well where do I start. Two years go we decided to make the move and get married after a long 7 year engagement. The Culloden was the first and last venue we viewed, where we were greeted by Ainsleigh Baxter who was an absolute delight and who explained every detail we needed to know about booking our wedding. I think we spent a good hour looking around and that was our minds set, we were booking The Culloden! We paid the deposit that night and then had a beautiful meal in the restaurant. For two years, I had Ainsleigh at my beck and call with the amount of stress and maybe a bit of aniexty of planning a wedding and there was nothing to big or small that she didn't help us with. Fast forward to the wedding day and Ainsleigh made sure she was working that day to see me off. I honestly can't put into words how amazing our day was, the staff were amazing and made sure to look after us from the moment we got there until we left. I would highly recommend The Culloden to any couple looking to book their wedding whether it be big or small. Thank you again for everything and for making our dreams come true. Love The Stewarts

After several tries, we finally got the wedding reception we had dreamed of. Thanks to COVID 19,we had a few attempts, and over each disappointment Jenny and Michelle took care to guide us through the next steps. They were attentive and understanding and very patient. Not to mention the opulence of the hotel itself and the beautiful grounds. Barry looked after us on The Big Day and from start to finish he was fantastic. We were confident in his management of our day's events and he was very approachable and happy to help, going out of his way more than once to help with any random requests. Thanks to the team for giving us the most special of days. Sarah and Phil.

From the first to the final contact with Michelle, our experience of The Culloden has been nothing but positive. Every staff member was friendly and professional and together provided us with a truly memorable day. The quality of professionalism in the setting, service and product both in the run up to and on the day itself was outstanding. The complementary spa membership in the run up to the wedding was a real highlight. I would highly recommend The Culloden as a wedding reception venue.

Ainsleigh, I just wanted to say thanks to you, and everyone at the Culloden who was involved in our wedding day. The day was perfect, and we couldn't have asked for it to be any better! All staff at the Culloden were great, and the service was just fantastic on the day. The room was set up perfectly, and it looked even better than I had imagined! The food was delicious, and honestly the day just flowed so well, we loved it. We are so happy we chose the Culloden as our venue- every single guest commented what a beautiful place it was and were so impressed. Thanks for making the day so special, and we will definitely be back in future!

Amazing is the only word I have for our day! The team at Culloden made everything so easy and effortless, nothing was a hassle or too much to ask. My family have all different dietary requirements and they met this above our expectation. Everyone was commenting and is still commenting on how amazing the food was. The team were always around for anything we needed and genuinely made our day one of the best days of our lives. I could not recommend the Culloden enough for a wedding.

Michelle, I just wanted to reach out to thank every single member of your team for the absolutely beautiful day a few weeks ago. Everything went perfectly and we were so well taken care of. Thank you for all of your help over the last 2+years! It has been such a pleasure to work with you. I also need to specially call out Barry, who took incredible care of us on the day. He even walked me down the stairs because I was so nervous. He was amazing, can’t say enough good things about him!! Thank you again!! I wish we could do it all again, but I’d like to think it’ll just be the one wedding for me! Sam

Michelle, Thanks so much for everything to you and the rest of the team (especially Sam) on Saturday. It all went so smoothly and all our guests were so complimentary about the Culloden. We really had the best day! It’s been such a buzz of a week and we’re on such a high still. So many guests have spoken so highly of the Culloden experience. Truly was the best day. Kind Regards Mr & Mrs Beverland

Ainsleigh, I just wanted to drop you a wee note to say a massive thank you to you and your whole team at the Culloden in regards to our BIG day on Friday last. Everything, and I do mean everything, was perfect!!! Many thanks to you and your team for making our wedding day so special. With kindest regards, Laura & Wayne

Michelle, Jenny and Ainsleigh, Thank you all for your help to give us the most amazing wedding reception and everything else you have done, we felt like royalty over the entire weekend and a wonderful experience working with you all. A special mention to Barry, Jonathan and Mel who were just the definition of excellence over the weekend, nothing was too much or too little for them. We cannot thank you enough and we look forward seeing you again soon and coming back for our first anniversary. Best regards, Martyn and Hanna (Mr and Mrs Mitchell)

Michelle and Ainsley, We would just like to thank you for everything you guys had done for us and how amazing you were at dealing with the wedding! Barry did a top notch job and honestly couldn't speak any higher of him! We just want to say a big thank you to Barry he made our day so special! Again thank you so much for all your help! Kind Regards Shannan and Jamie

Absolutely incredible, from start to finish we were treated with kindness, respect and utter opulence! The staff went above and beyond to help us with every detail and so many of our guests were blown away by the quality of the food!! We had many last minute worries due to Covid, but the staff supported us, adjusted numbers without question, and made sure the day went off without any hassle. My husband, who is Italian, loved everything from the location, to the food, and even enjoyed his coffee! We couldn’t have asked for a better day, because of the impeccable planning and support we felt from start to finish! Thank you to the wonderful staff in the Culloden - memories we will cherish forever.

We had the most magical wedding Day at the Culloden Hotel. I cOuld not recommend it enough. The staff looked after us so well. My husband and i live in England so his family all came over and stayed for the week. The hotel offered them the best service and were So helpful. From the first meeting until thE end of oUr wedding day they wEre always available to help in any way they could. Thank you for making our wedding day the most special day of our lives!

We had the best experience having the Culloden host our wedding dinner for us. From start to finish the service was exceptional... there was no 'chasing' up or un necessary stress, every little detail was taken care off, even the catering staff really excelled in their customer service. We were taken care of by Events co ordinator Ainsleigh Baxter who was extremely attentive and helpful. Not only is the Culloden a truly beautiful and lavish venue, they really do take care of you and try to eliminate any of that wedding worry 5 stars , we would 100% reccomend!!!

I know everyone says it is the best day of your life but that is because it really is! From start to finish everything ran perfectly. There was no problem too big that the staff couldn’t solve. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, from bar staff to the night porters and of course my lovely wedding planner Ainsleigh and the banqueting manager Victoria. The culloden is such a beautiful place to get married and the views are fantastic for pictures without having the worry of going somewhere else. I find it so calming when I am there even though I have a one year old child running around like crazy. It is honestly one of my favourite places in the world to go. The food on the day was delicious. So many guests told us they have never had beef so tender let alone when the chef was making nearly 60 of them! The desserts were so tasty I only wish there had been some left over. The bedrooms are clean and luxurious and we were in my favourite suite overlooking the water although by the time we got back to the room after dancing til 2am and up in the morning for the private breakfast with family and friends, I just I wish I had more time to enjoy it! I didn’t feel stressed, I was able to relax and enjoy the day. Not once was I told to hurry up because we were behind time and I was chatting too much. I was told “it is your day” and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better one. I just wish I could do it all over again! Thank you to all the staff for a day I will always remember
