Balbirnie House

Here at Balbirnie we have a choice of two gorgeous rooms for your wedding ceremony, one traditional and one more modern – so something to suit every couple. Your drinks reception will take place in the original sitting rooms of the house, as well as the grand old Library Bar. Your meal and evening reception will take place in our stunning purpose-built Ballroom, complete with LED mood lighting, fairy-light windows and a twinkling dancefloor! Balbirnie is one of Scotland’s landmark hotels, with a uniquely established history under 3 decades of personal supervision and private ownership, playing host and providing a backdrop for many thousands of Scotland’s most special private and corporate events. Over the years Balbirnie has been the recipient of a quite extraordinary collection of industry awards, especially for weddings. In these contexts, 2017 was an extraordinary year. We were quite simply overjoyed to announce that at the Scottish Hotel of the Year Awards 2017 ceremony (the Hotel Industry Oscars equivalent), and set against the competitive backdrop of the many wonderful hotels and wedding venues across Scotland, Balbirnie once again received overall ‘Scottish Wedding Hotel of the Year’ - Rather incredibly, that is now 12 times in the last 14 years that Balbirnie has received Scotland’s top wedding award, in recognition of our dedication to our weddings. Our whole team are over the moon and thrilled that all our hard work to make each and every wedding so special has been so well recognised. As always, we continue to review across the span of what we do, our endeavours as always, as to remain ahead of industry curves. Furthermore, in October 2017 at the global Haute Grandeur hotel awards ceremony which took place in Thailand, Balbirnie House became the recipient of an unprecedented global hat-trick: ‘Europe’s Best Destination Wedding Hotel’, ‘Europe’s Best Function Venue Hotel”, ‘Europe’s Best Romantic Hotel’ – this set of results let to a Motion in Sco
