Everything on the day was perfect! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and the set-up was beautiful. Aaron was the coordinator on the day; he was very attentive, nothing was an issue, and they were very flexible with any changes in the schedule. Our guests were very complimentary of the food, the service and how smoothly the day went while also having a relaxed atmosphere - exactly what we were aiming for.

On the wedding day, we arrived at the main entrance and were greeted with a red carpet and a glass of champagne each on arrival. The staff were wonderful at making sure our guests knew where to go and where to sit, and all of our guests were so complimentary.
The Lady Jane tower was stunning for the ceremony, and we had our evening reception in the Holywood suite, which was wonderful as well. The canapés during the drinks reception were delicious too, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them.
Aaron was our coordinator for the day, and he was so attentive, calm and collected, and everything went so smoothly and without a hitch. All of our guests commented on how perfectly everything went, and a lot even said it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and I put a lot of that down to the professionalism and expertise of everyone at the Culloden.
I think the best way to sum up our day is that we were made to feel like the most important people in the world during our wedding day and the day after. We were given a complimentary late check-out, which was so much appreciated. Our suite had a lovely card, champagne and cupcakes from the team, and every single member of staff was so friendly and utmost professional. Somehow, every member of the team knew we were the wedding couple, even if we hadn’t been dealing with them directly, so well done to the Culloden for coordinating this lovely touch too!
Breakfast the next morning in Vespers was lovely, and again, everyone was so complimentary.
I could write a book, but I hope this sums up!
