Cardney Steading - Events & Weddings - Dunkeld

What a venue, what a team, an absolute dream come true. From the moment we visited for the first time and all the way through we knew this was where we’d get married and it will forever be such a special place to us.

As a wedding venue it has everything you can possibly want and more, they really have thought of everything and we were absolutely spoilt in every way and had the wedding day of our dreams.

Our guests absolutely loved it and kept telling us how beautiful it was and how brilliant everything had been. We agreed 100%.

Eva is absolutely incredible and she made everything happen from start to finish so seamlessly, it was a pleasure to get to work with her and Lewis and we can’t thank them and the team enough for everything.

My son and beautiful daughter in law got married here and what a fantastic day it was! The venue and surrounding area is absolutely amazing. Staff were very friendly, caring and helpful. I'd highly recommend booking a wedding here.

I recently photographed an amazing wedding at Cardney. What an incredible place. Such a perfect location for a rustic wedding in Scotland. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for an amazing venue in Scotland.

What a fabulous venue, and what a wonderful team of people! Ive photographed weddings for over a decade and NEVER had the opportunity to capture a couple in a rowing boat on their wedding day until I came to Cardney! Goals!!!
The views, the expansive hills, forests, lakes... it's so picturesque it's almost overwhelming! If you're looking for a stunning, private, reliable, unique wedding venue in Scotland then look no further. Love it here.

I recently attended a family wedding at Cardney and having attended MANY weddings in my time, I was truly blow away by the faultless experience at Cardney.

The venue itself has such a perfect Scottish, rural, rustic, idyllic feel being in a converted Barn; but of all of the converted Barns I’ve been in…the is tops them all.
It was SPOTLESS and all the features - mezzanine area for quite chill time/small balcony in the mezzanine where musicians could situate, the circle bar that can be accessed from the Courtyard outdoors and indoors - just ideal. The toilets were also spotless and well attended.
All surrounded by sprawling grounds of stunning scenery.
It was beautiful.

The magic at the heart of this experience is the exceptional team on site.
They literally worked their socks off and did not stop I truly mean they did not stop; they demonstrated a burning desire to ensure the event was perfect and faultless, they operate expertly almost like they could predict what people needed.
EVERY detail was thought of and prepared for.

I was charmed to learn that the lovely man who from the morning of the wedding right through to the guests boarding coaches at end of night who was transporting the wedding party, moving furniture, in and out of the catering area, and basically ensuring every element was under control……is the owner of the estate. I think that says it all really. His commitment to delivering the perfect wedding, by hiring an exceptional team; extends to being hugely hands-on, on the day.

Definitely a venue and team you can put your full trust in.
First class. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

we got married here on the 19th August and it was the most perfect weekend ever. The staff went above and beyond and it couldn’t have gone any better. Beth was just amazing, so easy to communicate with and was the most helpful and lovely person. The accommodation was absolutely perfect too and we all had a fab time over the weekend - also a great bonus was our fur babies could come too and got to be a part of our special day! All of our guests absolutely loved the venue and we’ve been having guests still say what a lovely day they had - despite the weather being a little bit iffy!! I would highly recommend cardney to ANYONE who is trying to look for a perfect country rustic style wedding or just the perfect venue in general! If we could do it all over again we would!! love love love

We were so fortunate to find Cardney and instantly fell in love with the estate. This was the first wedding venue we viewed and from that moment it was obvious nowhere was going to beat it. This idyllic venue is perfectly located on the edge of the Highlands, below some of our favourite hills in which we got engaged a year prior. From our first meeting with Beth, she was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming. She was the perfect wedding co-ordinator, answering all of our questions and queries promptly, providing crucial advice and support in the lead up to our special day. The venue offers three potential ceremony locations, catering for those desiring an outdoor ceremony or a rustic barn feel. Couples can either have their ceremony on the lawn by the loch, in their enchanted forest clearing, or in the "old mill". We chose the forest clearing, as it encapsulated us as the outdoor couple that we are, thankfully the weather played ball on 22 August, and it was perfect. We cannot recommend Cardney enough for their stunning location and abundance of help and support they provided along the way. Our wedding day ran perfectly smoothly with Beth and the team taking away all the stresses. Many attendees, ranging from our photographer and videographer to many of our guests, complimented us on choosing such a beautiful venue and the smoothness of the day. Thank you so much Beth (wedding co-ordinator) and Lewis & Katriona (owners).

I had the good fortune to photograph an unbelievable wedding at this beautiful venue. This is genuinely one of my new favourite places to shoot weddings and I can't wait to get back. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff are extremely welcoming and everything about the place is perfect. If you're on the hunt for a rustic wedding venue then this place is definitely worth checking out.
