In June last year, Adele and Barry celebrated their wedding at Elsick House. With catering by Hudsons Catering,and a host of thoughtful personal touches, their day was truly unforgettable. Here’s what our Elsick bride Adele had to say about the big day, with images by Jonathan Addie Photography.
How did you first hear about Elsick House?
We live fairly locally but had never come across Elsick House before. While searching online for wedding venues in the area, we stumbled upon it—and we’re so glad we did.

What were your first impressions?
We absolutely fell in love with Elsick House from the moment we arrived. The beautiful gardens and stunning house completely exceeded our expectations. What really stood out was that it offered the best of both worlds: breathtaking outdoor spaces alongside equally beautiful indoor options for the ceremony and reception.
Did you look at any other venues?
No. Elsick House was the first venue we viewed, and after seeing it, we cancelled all our other scheduled viewings. It had everything we were looking for and more.

What made you book Elsick House?
After our viewing, we genuinely couldn’t imagine another venue offering what Elsick House did. The gardens were in full bloom and looked incredible, the house itself was stunning, and there was the perfect amount of accommodation for our families to stay and celebrate with us. We also loved that the indoor spaces were just as beautiful as the outdoor setting, which gave us peace of mind knowing we had a fantastic backup option if the weather didn’t cooperate. We were completely blown away.
What made your day unique?
Being surrounded by all our family, friends, and loved ones in such a beautiful setting made our wedding day incredibly special. Elsick House provided the perfect backdrop for memories we’ll cherish forever.
Any memorable details of the day?
Karen went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She checked in with us throughout the day, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The weather was constantly changing, but the team at Elsick House adapted seamlessly at short notice, giving us the flexibility to decide between an indoor or outdoor ceremony right up until the last moment. Their professionalism and support made the entire day feel effortless.

Would you recommend Elsick House and why?
Absolutely. The venue speaks for itself—it’s simply stunning—but what truly sets Elsick House apart is the people. The staff are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your day as special as possible. So many of our guests commented on the beautiful venue, fantastic food, wonderful location, and exceptional service. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our wedding.
