Newlywed testimonial
“Rowallan Castle was a stunningly beautiful venue that far surpassed our hopes and dreams for our destination wedding. The grounds and facilities were breathtaking and the perfect backdrop for our special day.
“The staff was polite, professional, and delivered excellent service. Our meals were a 10 out of 10. I want to highlight our coordinator, Katy for answering our one million questions over a nearly two-year planning process and taking such phenomenal care of us on our wedding day. Without her diligent work and attention to detail, it would not have been as special as it was. Thank you to every member of the Rowallan staff and thank you Katy for a day we will never forget.” – Mr. & Mrs. Matthews
