Wonderful Venue, Staff, Food and Service

“Catherine & Grace, Just a wee note to thank you for all you did to make Adam & Seona’s Wedding such an amazing day. The venue, staff, food and service were wonderful, and you were both so helpful and friendly. You made it a relaxed and fun day for all of us. We have had so many positive comments from guests. Please pass on our thanks to all involved – chefs and waiters and waitresses – great food, big portions and served piping hot and all very quickly so no guests were left waiting. And the self catering lodges were excellent. Thank you so much, Donald & Elspeth (parents of the bride)” May 2024

Went Above and Beyond

“To Everyone at Atholl Palace, We just wanted to thank you for all making our Wedding Day so special. Firstly, we want to thank Catherine and Grace for helping with organising the day and dealing with our weird requests. (We’re sure the floating candles and strawberry milkshakes are a first!) We want to thank everyone who worked that night, both front of house and behind the scenes. The day went smoother than we could have expected, and you all managed to put up with our drunken guests (some more than others). We also want to give a final thanks to the people who have made us feel welcome while we’ve stayed the extra few days here. Especially Evan, Paige and Brody who have all went above and beyond. We know it’s not much, but we’ve enclosed something for all the people who worked on our Wedding Day. Again, thank you all so much and we hope to see you again soon.

All the best, Mr & Mrs Gilmour“

Perfect Venue

“Atholl Palace Hotel was just what we were looking for in a venue. We had our ceremony and meal in the Bow Lounge and evening reception in the Atholl Suite. We were also able to reserve the Stag’s Head Bar for our drinks reception for private use. The wedding meal was absolutely delicious, with huge portions. We received numerous compliments from guests about how lovely the food was. The best meal had at a Wedding. The Bow Lounge is stunning and has the view out the bay window down the valley. The Atholl Suite had everything we needed, with its own bar and toilets. It felt like we had exclusive use of the hotel at night, especially as it’s in the extension of the hotel away from other guests. The team were also able to accommodate our request of having breakfast the next morning in the Tay Room (a private area in the Verandah restaurant), so our guests could all be together. We had the most perfect time!” Hitched, February 2024

Top Notch Venue & Staff

“Atholl Palace stepped up after our Castle wedding venue went under liquidation. The staff at Atholl went out of their way to make our special day happen. Everything came together to give us our dream Scottish wedding even when we were planning from overseas. Pictures came out beautifully, the grounds are so dreamy. I highly recommend Atholl, they truly went out of their way on our wedding day!” Hitched, August 2023

Fairytale Wedding at the Atholl Palace

“We had a fantastic wedding at the Atholl Palace! The hotel and grounds are beautiful, well kept and perfect for a wedding and all our guests loved the setting. The staff at Atholl Palace were brilliant and the wedding moved seamlessly from start to finish due to their hardwork. The wedding team at Atholl Palace were amazing in helping to organise everything, allowing us to sit back and enjoy the lead up to the big day and the wedding day itself. Would highly highly recommend this wedding venue.” Hitched, August 2023

November Wedding

“My wife and I held our wedding reception with the Atholl Palace Hotel and we were delighted with the standard of service. All of the staff were professional, friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble from beginning to end. We were provided with a dedicated room which is perfectly equipped to host large numbers. The food and drink was delicious, with everything procured locally/regionally. Our reception ran like clock work, with all our guests commenting on the quality and standard of the hotel and its presentation. My wife and I highly recommend anyone contemplating a wedding at the Hotel to book with them. We would not hesitate to do so again.” Tripadvisor, November 2022

A Day to Remember

“Firstly, the grounds are simply stunning, everywhere you look has a fantastic view. From the moment we booked our big day to our final farewell to the venue the day after our wedding the staff at the Atholl Palace were incredibly patient, helpful and so accommodating. Would highly recommend the Atholl Palace as a wedding venue to consider, its warm, cosy inviting and I still have guests to this day commenting on how delicious the meal was. Overall 10 stars to the staff & venue!” Bridebook, October 2022

Wonderful Wedding

“Just wanted to leave an excellent review about the Atholl Palace Hotel after spending 2 nights there for my daughter’s wedding. The wedding planners were absolutely wonderful & nothing was too much bother. The wedding meal was really lovely and everyone was commenting on how tasty the food was. Our rooms were very comfortable and spacious. Everything we asked for was brought promptly (fans as we were all very hot) and jugs of iced water to keep us all cool. Catherine was absolutely wonderful and nothing was a problem for her to sort out for our wonderful day. I highly recommend the Hotel for a wedding and we were all really delighted with everything.” Tripadvisor, July 2022

Beautiful As Was The Wedding Reception

“My wife and I attended a wedding at the hotel and stayed overnight. The hotel was beautiful as was the wedding reception area. We had a lovely room which was huge with great views. Food at wedding and breakfast next morning was excellent. Would return again anytime and highly recommend a stay there.” Bridebook, June 2022
