Thanks to childhoods filled with Disney movies and royal weddings, many dream of a grand old Scottish Country House snuggled amidst acres of private grounds, woodland and unspoilt countryside. A place with a chandeliered ballroom, delectable food prepared by the venue’s own chefs and a sweeping staircase that seems almost purpose built for a bride making her grand entrance. A place like Raemoir.
Situated just outside Banchory and only twenty minutes from Aberdeen, Raemoir is a beautifully refurbished Georgian house that provides the perfect backdrop for that fairytale wedding. Sitting imperiously at the end of an extensive tree-lined drive, the first impression is one of a bygone grandeur, but step over the threshold and it feels just like home, which is exactly how owners Neil and Julie Rae encourage you to think about Raemoir when planning your day.
As the house is only available on an exclusive use basis for any event, the award-winning venue literally becomes your personal country retreat for the time you are here. From the wood-panelled sitting room with oversized armchairs, open fires throughout and Ballroom with its original flocked velvet wall coverings and sweeping views of the grounds outside, ensuite bedrooms so there is no need to share, a full team of staff to look after your every whim, Raemoir is different to other venues.
Weddings are the culmination of a lifetime of dreams and wishes rolled into one fabulous event. Planning one can seem a daunting task at first but our team will help you from the first hello to the final farewell and
everything in between so take the time to visit Raemoir and you may find that realising your dream day is just a tree-lined drive away.
