Blackshaw Barns sits on a farm just outside West Kilbride, up in the North Ayrshire hills with the Firth of Clyde below and stunning views across to Arran. It’s exclusive use, so for the day it’s entirely yours, and it’s only around half and from Glasgow. For Kirsty and Neil, that combination of countryside, the coast and complete privacy made it the perfect place to get married with the people closest to them.
Kirsty got ready in the farmhouse, which is one of the loveliest parts of a Blackshaw Barns wedding.
It’s calm, homely and full of character – the perfect ambience for your wedding morning.
By the time the Kirsty was ready, everyone had settled into the day and were ready to head over to the barn.
The ceremony was small and personal, with just their closest family and friends and delivered by Connor who told their story with real warmth. You could tell he knew them well. Every laugh and every wobbly voice in the room was real.
If you’re looking at barn wedding venues in Ayrshire, Blackshaw is well worth a visit. It’s dry hire, so you can bring your own caterer, whether that’s a sit-down meal or pizza and a BBQ. It has its own microbrewery, Blackshaw Brewery. It’s dog friendly, with plenty of outdoor space. And it’s close enough to Glasgow for guests, while feeling a world away.
