    “Eglinton was our first venue to go and see and we loved it instantly. It’s an understated country-esque feeling hotel nestled in a lovely little village of Eaglesham, not far from where we stay in East Kilbride.

    You get married in Earls Hall downstairs and enjoy your wedding breakfast in the Gilmour Suite. That is a massive plus point not waiting on a room getting turned over from ceremony to wedding reception. The planning – flawless. Louize Hollywood and her team are fantastic, every question and query answered, every request met. I was never pushed with decisions and I was guided where needed. The venue – amazing. The staff on the lead up to and on the day are a credit to the company.

    Mark the out of retirement general manager who ran things like clockwork on the day, I cannot thank you enough. You made me and my bridal party feel so special and your workmanship did not go unnoticed by others. I was able to stay in the honeymoon suite the night before which was a fabulous little touch with my MOH.

    The package was the all-inclusive package we opted for and I cannot fault it. The little things that are included are so helpful to stressed out brides and takes some pressure off. The stationary is included which is your top table on a mirrored background, table numbers/names, place settings and menus. Candelabra centerpieces are also included. These look absolutely grand on the table and tbh who remembers your table decor, BUT i did end up opting for some extra decor through a company and swapped these out for vases and candles. The venue is very accommodating to your suppliers.

    The package was for 50 with a requirement of 60 on a weekend. We knew we would have minimum numbers and eventually had 72 adults and 6 kids. It included 4 drinks pp which I felt was very generous. The food was FANTASTIC and I think majority of my guests have commented on this. The package included 3 canapes 3 course meal with tea/coffee and roll buffet at night. We only added 1 extra canape and chips to the buffet at night which was welcomed by our drunken guests lol! The rolls were superb.

    I should also mention that you get a menu tasting at this venue where the chef comes out personally to ho over your choices! That was a lovely touch and as it is part of your wedding experience, we didn’t pay a penny for 3 courses tea/coffee and glass of wine (the wine that would be served at the wedding).

    I would choose this venue over and over again for what a wonderful day they provided. It’s an affordable venue with a beautiful touch of the country feel to it.”

    “My husband and I had the pleasure of getting married at the Eglinton arms hotel on the 6th of September 2025. We had a wonderful experience during all the planning especially the great communication from the wedding coordinators Louize and Sarah-Jayne.

    On the day of the wedding the manager Adrian was fantastic, we couldn’t have asked for a better day. Such amazing organisation and the staff are so friendly.

    The food was a big hit with all the guests, the appetisers, meal and evening food was fantastic.

    Thank you all so much again for a wonderful day, Andrew and I are forever grateful for all you done for us. Highly recommend the Eglinton arms hotel for any occasion.

    “We recently had our wedding at the Eglinton Arms Hotel. What a fantastic day we had. The venue was set up beautifully and the staff fantastic and the attention to details was brilliant. From arriving at the venue the night before, everyone was so kind, helpful and very efficient. Nothing was bother. Adrian and Mark were fantastic and kept us right on the day. The Earls Hall was outstanding and we couldn’t have asked for a better setting or assistance for our special day.”

    “On first viewing the hotel we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The hotel had a lovely feel to it giving it a more intimate vibe. From start to finish, the planning to the tasting menus, to everything on the day itself, was perfect!

    We would like to thank all the staff involved in making our day feel special. A special thanks to Louize and SarahJayne on the wedding team and the Manager Adrian who worked so hard on the day.

    “We got married here last Saturday and what a day it was. From start to finish the team at this hotel have been super attentive and helpful. A massive thanks to Sarah-Jayne and Louize for being with us every step of the wedding planning process. The general manager Adrian (AKA Hype Boss) is a credit to this venue! He was on the ball, super organised and able to make our wedding run the way we had dreamed it. Scott the guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the meal was. Thank you to all the staff at the Eglinton Arms hotel. “

    “From our initial meeting last August to look at the Eglinton we both knew straight away that this was thee place for us. Planning, meal and cake testing were just amazing. The day itself, massive thank you to Adrian, we had a little hiccup with the wedding car and a wall and he made sure to let me and my dad who were waiting at the house know as well as Craig to assure us both of the delay.

    Helping me out the car on the one and only day in May it rained, calming a very nervous bride (who wasn’t nervous at all until the morning of!) little touches like this went a long way.  The room was just beautiful for the ceremony. The meal was fantastic, I can’t tell you how many guests have commented on the meal alone…outstanding.

    Massive thank you to you and all of the Eglinton Arms hotel for a fantastic day.

    “We just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything! We really appreciate it more than words can describe and everyone was so amazing through the whole day!

    Please be sure to pass on our deepest thanks to Mark, Kerrie, and the whole team! They took such good care of us and the night ran so smoothly because of everyone and their hard work.

    Also a huge thank you for all the hard work of prep, we know there were a lot of wee last min changes and cannot express how greatful we are for being so flexible with it all!

    It truly was the most amazing night of our lives and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue

    Many thanks

    “We had a fantastic wedding at the Eglinton Arms and could not recommend them highly enough. The planning was very straightforward and Louize took care of everything, constantly keeping us updated and adapting with ease when we frequently changed our minds! She organised a meal tasting which was a lovely experience included as part of the package and we used the opportunity to treat ourselves to an overnight stay as the hotel itself and the surrounding area are lovely. We had 2 final planning meetings with Louize in the months before and we appreciated that these were in person.

    The package itself is very generous, with the drinks package and stationery included in the overall price as well as use of the gorgeous honeymoon site.

    Our day couldn’t have gone any smoother and all of our guests commented on the quality of the food, which we were delighted with. Our guests appreciated having 2 options and several said that they will be visiting the Eglinton Arms for dinner in the future. Adrian was a wonderful host and kept everyone calm, treating the groom and best man to a whiskey when the nerves set in! He also amended timings with ease when we were running late. Tiny touches such as tucking the mums chairs in at the top table did not go unnoticed. All waiting staff were professional and dinner was served promptly. Our parents are still commenting on how kind and accommodating the staff were. We had lovely weather, so we enjoyed that our guests were able to use the beer garden.

    We had a brilliant day, and if you book the Eglinton Arms you won’t regret it! It will always have a special place in our hearts and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

    “From the moment we walked through the door at The Eglinton Arms Hotel, we instantly knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. We were made to feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. The whole experience from start to finish was so smooth and slick, professional yet personal. My husband and I had a wedding day that was absolutely us to a tee.

    Every one of our guests commented on how amazing the staff were, how fabulous the food was and how stunningly beautiful the venue was. We wanted our Scottish wedding with a touch of laid-back elegance, and that is precisely what we got. Carolyn was a dream to work with and offered advice and suggestions that were invaluable to us throughout the planning stages on the big day she made sure everything went without the slightest hiccup. I’ve said this a hundred times to various people but we really did have the best day ever! I’m so glad we found The Eg, we feel like family each time we visit. For us, the thing that sets it apart from every other place that we looked at is the people,

    Carolyn who’s just incredible and was so lovely with my elderly Nan. Paul, who was the first person we met and made us feel so welcome and continues to do so each time since. Vicky on reception was amazing with our guests, bar staff, servers, Connie at breakfast and the wonderful housekeeping ladies who are always so warm and friendly. Each and every person there helped to make our wedding day a bit more special and for that The Eg will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you for everything xxx

    “We had our wedding at the Eglinton Arms in 2022 and we wouldn’t change a thing! The venue is beautiful, the food is great and it’s in a beautiful location for wedding photos with the Orry and old village in the background. We planned our wedding in only three months but the staff were all so friendly and helpful that we found it all pretty easy and stress-free! I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting married, a real hidden gem of a wedding venue!

    It is such a pretty venue and from the minute I went to view it I fell in love with it and my day was everything I dreamed it would be and more and I can’t thank the staff at the Eglinton arms enough. I would recommend the Eglinton arms to any future bride and groom.

    “The Eglinton Arms, where to begin!

    From the initial show around to leaving the hotel after the wedding it was an absolute dream. When we first booked to have a look around we weren’t sure what to think, living only 10mins up the road we had driven past it numerous times so thought we would just have a look. We are glad we did!

    Louize, an absolute angel, literally couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help plan our day. You can tell she really cares about her couples and ensuring they have the best possible day. Nothing was too much hassle, no question was too silly and the vast amount of emails from myself always went answered. Honestly, the best person to have in your corner to help plan your day.

    The day itself was an absolute dream. We were lucky enough that we were able to have our drinks reception outside and it went down a treat. The food was fabulous, everyone commented how amazing it was and the clear plates definitely reflected that. The space itself was perfect and was something that we didn’t feel needed adding to in terms of decoration, a couple of chair bows and table runners and it was our vision of perfection.

    Now to the main man on the day himself, Adrian. He introduced himself to me the night before and I knew instantly we were going to be in safe hands that day! Again nothing was too much much hassle and he ensured that everything went how it should. I think everyone needs an Adrian on their day.

    Our wedding, was a dream. Put together a bunch of Scots, Geordies and ALOT of whiskey and we had a spectacular day, but it wouldn’t have been the half of that if it hadn’t of been for everyone at The Eglinton Arms.”

    “We got married at the Eglinton arms hotel on last month on 7th December 2024 and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

    From booking right through to the big day all the staff were so incredibly friendly and made it all so special. The package we choose was amazing, well priced and covered all our needs which took a lot of stress out of the planning. Louize was brilliant meeting with us and helping to plan, giving us great ideas and suggestions and just generally keeping us right!

    We loved that we could tailor the day to suit us and had the option of ceremony rooms and we opted for the earls hall which the team catered to our taste. Having a menu tasting with wine pairing was another amazing experience we were provided that was excellent and made us so excited in the lead up to our wedding day. On the day the food was amazing with everyone telling us it’s the best wedding food they’ve had!

    The night before and the morning of the team were brilliant and made sure everything running smoothly. Adrian was absolutely amazing looking after me as I was a bag of nerves, he made sure our bridal party was happy and looked after them too and they were singing his praises.

    Can’t thank the team enough for making our day so special and amazing!
