The grounds at the Culloden are so beautiful and our guests were able to enjoy our drinks reception on the terrace and take a walk around the gardens. We had our string quartet play out of the terrace, the scenery is stunning!
Our reception was then in the Stuart suite which has the most incredible views from their floor to ceiling windows behind the top table.
The food and service was flawless, Josh our master of ceremonies ensured our guests were taken care of and the speeches went as planned.
The following day, we enjoyed a beautiful buffet breakfast followed by relaxation in the spa, with massage treatments, which was perfect after a busy day and build up.
This left us ready to enjoy drinks and dinner with family and friends at the Cultra Inn.
We couldn’t recommend the Culloden Estate and Spa enough.

The setting speaks for itself and is nothing short of breathtaking. Nestled among lush gardens and overlooking Belfast Loch to the town where I grew up, made the magic all the more real.
Without using a cliche (but in actual fact using a cliche), it was like something from a fairytale.
If the venue was something from a fairytale then each and every staff member we spoke to, dealt with, went to with an issue was in their very own way a fairy godmother/father/person. I have genuinely never experienced service like it. Right from the housekeeping staff, all the way to our event manager the perfect, delightful, fun, helpful and infectiously happy Ainsleigh Baxter.
What surprised me most in the lead up to the wedding, Ainsleigh and then on the day of the wedding, all of the other staff, seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realised what they were and each and ever one of them executed our day FLAWLESSLY. Their warmth and their attentivness added to what was already a magical day and neither myself nor my husband can ever really thank the team and Ainsleigh enough.
There are genuinely no words that I can possible write that will do justice to what Ainsleigh did for us. She took the time to know us, our vision and our story. Each and every time she made us feel like we were the only two in the world that mattered. Her warmth, laugh and happiness is infectious and if ever there was someone in the perfect job for who/what they are, it is Ainsleigh Baxter.
Thanks to her (and all of the other staff), our wedding was the most magical and perfect day we will never forget.
