Blairquhan Castle Wedding

May 2018 seemed to be the month for trans-atlantic weddings! Harry and Megan’s royal wedding was followed up the next weekend with another American Megan getting hitched to a British groom. This time it was Gordon and the blend of Scottish and American guests made this a high energy celebration with plenty of lively dancing and jubilation!

The venue was the well hidden Blairquhan Castle, an Ayrshire gem. The stunning grounds and fdormidable castle make this a very impressive, grand setting for a wedding. Lovely. And enough trees to keep Raymie happy.

Gordon got the wedding planner Tracey to phone us after the wedding ceremony to ask if they could change their first dance plans. Previously they’d chosen “Stand by Me” to be played from an iPhone but wondered if there was a chance we could do a live version. With only a few hours to go, we accepted the challenge and we’re delighted we did. The song went down a storm and provided the perfect springboard into the evening. Lots of new dances learned by the US first-timers and plenty compliments throughout the evening.

We wish Mr and Mrs Deans all the very best for their future together!
