My daughter was married yesterday at your hotel and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone of your staff involved for the fantastic day. Everything was superb and very professional. What a wonderful team of staff you have. All the guest have praised your wonderful hotel. Please pass my compliments on to the chef for the delicious meal. Everyone has been complementing it.

Thank you very much for organising our wedding day on 2nd June. Thank you also to all the staff that were involved in our day. It all went perfectly, the room/tables looked wonderful and the food was delicious. Both the entertainment and florist provided in the package were of a very high standard. Our parents were very pleased too. Our guests particularly enjoyed the table service. The guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed it and so are we!

All the staff at the Macdonald Holyrood were fantastic. Your able deputy on the day went way beyond the level of service I expected. All of the staff involved were super attentive and nothing was left to chance.

Please pass on our thanks to everyone who, right from the minute we dropped off the car on the Friday, made this a wedding to remember.

Steph & Stuart Paterson

14th April 2012

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to you and all of your team who made our wedding an absolutely perfect day for me and Stuart.  We have lost count of the number of comments and compliments we have received for your team.  I think everyone from the concierge and the reception staff through to the bar and waiting staff on the actual day have been nothing less than a true credit to the Macdonald name.

Becky and Ian Lisseman

We were not at all stressed on the day thanks to your reassurance that all was organised and in control. The team of staff on the day was faultless; we could ask for no more, it all ran very smoothly. The staff were so helpful, never intrusive and helped every step of the way in making the day and whole weekend a resounding success...A specific mention must be made to the food, outstanding on every count, on every meal..."

Helen Thomson, Mother of the Groom

"A very big thank you for all that you did to make Jeremy and Louise's wedding such a special occasion. Organising any event from a distance is challenging, but this had plenty possibilities for being a complete nightmare!
In the end it was a lovely and very relaxing family gathering...."

Cheryl and Victor Vickers

"I would like to thank you for all your help in organising the reception.. ..Everyone that came on the day said to us that the reception was brilliant, the best they had been to in a long time, also everyone commented on how good the food was too.

Just a wee note to thank you for all your help in organising our wedding last Saturday (23rd June 07). Everything was just perfect for the entire weekend and all our guests had a ball!
...our thanks to everyone involved especially Alan (concierge) whose attentiveness and helpfulness knows no bounds and to all the bar and restaurant staff who were certainly kept on their toes!
Hopefully we will see you again - maybe for our first wedding anniversary!

Thanks Again

Leanne and Scott Rae

...You made our wedding day better than we dreamed it would be. The service and care of the staff was out of this world. Once again thank you very much.

Mairidh and Sean O'Rourke

..We would like to say thank you for all that you did to ensure we had such a brilliant weekend. After months of planning, I don't think it would have been so perfect had it not for you [Laura]. From the onset you were so helpful and enthusiastic and this was the main reason for choosing the Macdonald Holyrood Hotel, I definitely think we made the right choice! Everyone told us it was the best wedding they had been to...
Please pass on our regards and thanks to Colin and his staff who were all fabulous and to the girls [beauty] who did such a great job making me and my girls look gorgeous. Thanks to you again
