We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and all the staff in helping with our wedding. We initially picked Dryburgh due to how welcoming and accommodating the staff were as that was what we were looking for. Our plans were a little different so we couldn’t just have an ‘off the shelf’ wedding. From the beginning you were all just amazingly lovely and helpful. We had so many compliments on the food.

Dear Jules, a very delayed thank you for all you did for Greg and I. From the very beginning you made us feel so special and I can't imagine a more attentive and helpful person to have walked us through the process of planning a wedding. Despite the weather being very touch and go in the morning, I am forever grateful we were able to do the ceremony outside! A huge thank you also to the entire events team.

We had our wedding at Dryburgh and well...what a day it is. Dryburgh makes everything possible! The staff - well their all lovely, Jules and Tracy are stars and some of the loveliest people to every work with. After working with a couple of nightmare planners (at other venues) these two were the fairy godmothers we needed. We had a couple of issues with rooms but Lee from reception was on it and so helpful throughout the whole process (despite some of our more difficult guests he was always smiling, polite and helpful). Can't praise the team highly enough. We had the best day and I put that down to the beautiful venue and fantastic team. I'd recommend Dryburgh Abbey Hotel to anyone as a wedding venue, short get away or even quick afternoon tea. Thanks again to the team for a truly spectacular day!
