Every Dunluce package includes an indoor backup venue at the access point, with a cosy fire, whiskey tasting and an optional picnic after the ceremony.

Shiobhan & Chad
It can be terrifying to say the least, to reach out and put your wedding day in the hands of a stranger. Through the entire process, I never felt an ounce of anxiety or that I was dealing with a stranger! And if you knew me, that alone speaks volumes for the wonderful job done by Stephen and his team.
Prompt response times (with any little question), professionalism, compassion, and attention to every detail and moment that Stephen and his team are dedicated to was impressive. Our day was magical and stress free as a direct reflection collectively of all their hard work. We cannot thank them enough for our blissful wedding!
