Durn House

Durn House is truly the place to be for a wedding! Beautiful mansion house with the most amazing food to offer our guests. They dealt with everything for us (even the kilt hire)! If we could do it again, I would be back in a heartbeat! They also help to arrange honeymoons, along with many more extra addons. We will be back soon for a romantic night and food... Can't wait!

We had our wedding at Durn House on 7th October and we had a wonderful day. The staff at Durn House really worked hard to make our day so special. Many, many thanks to Lyndsey but especially to Bev, Aenea, Graeme the chef, Mary the housekeeper and to everyone who made the entire weekend so fabulous. The house was spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming for ourselves and our guests. Every detail we had asked for was included; nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing and served by attentive but unobtrusive staff. The chef even went personally into Buckie to source a stand for our wedding cake and we were given a beautiful engraved cake knife to keep.. Durn House is the perfect venue for a wedding and we have memories we will never forget; We are already planning to return next year for our first anniversary! The current Events team have delivered a great experience in a relaxed and extremely customer focused way. Our day, our weekend was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Thank you again to the whole team

We have just had the most amazing wedding day ever! From the minute we arrived we were warmly welcomed & waited on hand and foot, the staff were outstanding, they couldn't have done enough for us all (Bride, Groom & all our wedding guests). We had a dog & 9 children all under the age of 9, the staff were very accommodating and understanding of restless children, who hadn't been allowed to play and burn off some energy before the ceremony. The help given by the staff made all the difference to ensure that we got the attention to detail that we'd planned - from the little name tags on glasses, to blowing up the helium wedding balloons. Nothing was a problem. We felt that the staff at Durn House cared as much about our wedding as we did. The preparation for the day, the very high standard of the canapes and buffet-style 3-course meal were 2nd to none. I could go on and on describing as to how absolutely fantastic our big day was, this can only be accredited to the professionalism and dedication of all the staff at Durn house. With a special mention for Mary, the Head Housekeeper, who made sure everything went smoothly and we got the day we'd hoped for. The house itself has excellent facilities, in-keeping with the age and character of the house and grounds, the rooms, facilities, tableware and grounds were immaculate. All of our wedding guests that we spoke to, had an excellent day and gave the house and services nothing but praise. If we (the Bride & Groom), could have our day again, we wouldn't change a thing. We live near Portsoy and will definitely be spending a few nights here again. A HUGE thank you to all the staff at Durn House, that made our day fantastic and memorable for all the right reasons.

The staff at Durn House made our wedding day the most special and memorable day of our lives. Nothing was too much trouble, a tie for a guest, last minute ironing of bridesmaids dresses, even holding the ceremony outside 2 minutes before it was due to happen was all taken in their stride. The food was brilliant and the meal service was outstanding. We were so impressed by the service and the venue but particularly the staff, they shared in our joy their motivation to provide a top level of service was appreciated. The whole experience was stress free for us as the planning and service was provided right from the first contact to plan and book the event. All our requests and needs were met and exceeded. Honestly the3 best experience not only for ourselves but for all our quests. Nina, Mary, Karen, Christian all the bar staff and wait staff are incredibly professional but also made us feel like part of the family. They completely delivered on everything they said they would and more. I would love to stay again here even just for an evening meal and a romantic getaway. It is immaculately presented and simply a beautiful place to stay. Can't endorse them enough. If you want a magical day/night to remember you won't be disappointed.
