Weddings
You’ve decided who you want to spend the rest of your life with, now where do you start creating the memories that will do that justice? Raemoir.
Raemoir is available on a private use basis only and we encourage you to see the house as your own which ensures that your imagination can fly whilst keeping your day intimate and special. Whether you dream of a grand fairytale ceremony or just a family get together we have the venue and experience to help create that memorable event.
The house itself can hold 120 (split most comfortably between 70 day guests plus 50 more at night) otherwise the Marquee, which is connected to the house by a weatherproof link, is available. Between the house and the 14 acres of grounds there are cosy nooks, wide open spaces, room to dance, room to relax, there’s even a Woodland Cathedral which allows that real rustic touch to it all.
CEREMONIES
We are spoilt at Raemoir with a quirky choice of spaces for your ceremony, both indoor and out. There is the Grand Ballroom, the spacious Marquee, the Woodland Cathedral, under the Giant Fir or on top of the Hill of Fare. Where does your imagination take you.....
The Woodland Cathedral is a magical space next to the house, but hidden amongst mature trees, a beautiful rustic setting for the warmer months. Or if you’re feeling really adventurous, we can take you to the top of the Hill of Fare where the backdrop is Aberdeenshire, Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms.
Vows on the Lawn
Our south-facing Lawns provide a bright open space for the Ceremony with direct access from the house from the main door or from the Big Fish Bar and down the circular steps allowing views over the Raemoir estate and to the hills beyond.
Never Mind the Weather
If you’d prefer a roof over your heads then the Oval Ballroom, named for its curved walls and wooden doors, creates a uniquely shaped room for a ceremony and its open hearth, double height bay windows and vintage flock covered walls all help set the scene. The Garden Room suits the smaller, really intimate ceremony and our fully dressed Marquee Pavilion is the place for larger ceremonies.
FOOD AND DRINK
We are very proud to be able to offer some of the finest food and drink in the country here in Aberdeenshire. Overseen by our Masterchef of Great Britain, Robert Ramsay, our team not only works with local suppliers, producers and farmers to source outstanding produce in order to create wonderful dishes for you but forages the estate as well. Our chefs will happily work with you to create a menu that reflects your ideas whether for your wedding meal, an evening Supper, Barbecue in the Fire Pit or breakfast. We also have excellent local contacts for Asian cooking if required.
Our Big Fish Bar is stocked with Scottish beers, Whisky, Rums and Gin as well as everything else you would expect. We cannot stock everything however we are quite happy to arrange any particular drink or brand that you would like for your event.
THE COST
Everyone needs to budget for an event and a wedding at Raemoir is no different but because we are an exclusive use venue only we are able to manage your cost on a personal basis simply as you will be telling us what you want, not us telling you what we are giving you!
Many people think that exclusive use means expensive but we like to think this is not the case. Of course having a venue like Raemoir to yourself which comes complete with en-suite bedrooms, a full team of staff to cater for all your needs and private grounds will inevitably cost more than a price per head at a hotel that you have to share with the public or a dry-hire venue where the hire cost is just the start, but once everything is accounted for, and you can be assured that we have no hidden extras or unknown-at-the-outset additional charges (like napkins or red carpets or cake stands and knives) then you might be surprised at how reasonable the end result is.
