A venue made for weddings

We planned our wedding from Australia so it could have been a really stressful process but the team at Kinkell Byre made it all so easy. The team are friendly, professional and highly organised and have a roster of excellent suppliers who know the venue inside out. The venue is so charming, offering incredible views, a beautiful orchard garden and if the weather doesn't behave, the interiors are all stunning too. We really loved that we could hold our ceremony at the Kinkell Byre too and that the inside and outdoor spaces provided a lot of contrast for our guests & photographer throughout the day/night. Simply wonderful!

Exceptionally kind and proactive service

The team at Kinkell were fantastic for us, we had to plan the wedding from afar (we live abroad) and had many requests and questions some of which were a bit tricky but the team consistently helped us and were really proactive in getting us answers and support and keeping things stress free. We could not have had such a wonderful day without them, could not thank them enough by the end.

Venue of our dreams!

Kinkell Byre was the absolute venue of our dreams and exceeded expectations massively on our big day. Being able to put our own stamp on it and the amazing effort the team all put throughout in made the day and run-up unbelievably good! The day went in a flash but we managed to pack so much in and the Kinkell team all made it run so so seamlessly - an amazing job dealing with suppliers, timings etc. which allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves!

We visited Kinkell in Oct 2020 - 2 weeks after our engagement and Sophie gave us the two tours over the weekend. She was so so friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a good initial feeling about the venue- we had it booked 2 days after! It was also the first and only venue we viewed in person!

The Kinkell team were absolute superstars, both answering my many emails with LOTS of queries. Nothing seemed too much hassle and they always responded super quick! A massive help was also Claire on the day who was like my third bridesmaid! Sorting my veil, decorating the cake, feeding me Prosecco when I was freaking out before going down the aisle and making sure we were ready for key photos/timings like the sparkler shot!  Tegan was fab as well who had the not so lovely job of tidying up post-party and gathering our items for an easy pop in the car on Sunday.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning, we found nowhere else near comparable. Spoilt for choice with so many beautiful spots for photos too. We chose Kinkell as we knew if we weren’t blessed with Scottish sunshine we would still get fab photos - luck was on our side and we were able to get photos in the orchard, against the red barn doors, the sea backdrop and by the golf course.

It was such an amazing day we’ll never forget. I would highly recommend Kinkell to all future brides and grooms looking for a stunning barn venue to put their own stamp on!
