We hired Kinkell Byre for our wedding on Saturday and it really was the best day of our lives! What a venue.. so unique and I love how every wedding is different and completely personal. Sam and Sandy were fab throughout, great communication and always there to answer any questions. Would highly recommend this venue, it was magical and our guests loved it. Thanks guys!! X
We were here for my friends wedding, ceremony outside, and the place was gorgeous. Everyone had an amazing day and the staff were super friendly 👌
We got married at Kinkell in October 2017, and we had the best day ever! The byre was the first venue we went to see, and also the last - we both fell in love with it immediately. Sam and Sandy could not have been more helpful, totally happy for us to come up for multiple visits, answered any questions i had and were fantastic on the day. Steve from i-light is also exceptional, i was a bit worried about how things woudl run on the day (being a total control freak!) but he took everything in hand, and it went so smoothly. I honestly wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else.
My husband and I got married at Kinkell Byre last Saturday and it was the venue of our dreams. An absolutely stunning venue that allows you to design and personalise to suit you as a couple but with enough of its own beauty and charm that doesn’t cause you a power of work or effort.
Sandy and Sam at Kinkell, along with Stevie at iLight were absolutely excellent from day one, so helpful and attentive, we never waited longer than a few hours to hear back from either of them with or questions. The day prior to our wedding Sam was an absolute superstar, helping where she could and assuring us she would take care of all the final touches for the wedding on the morning of which, she did brilliantly.
Our guests have commented consistently on the magic and unique beauty of this venue - a huge recommendation from The Gregory’s for anyone considering Kinkell Byre for their event.
We got married here on the 9/07/16 last year. We had a fantastic time! The best thing about the venue apart from the views and the privacy was the flexibility of the venue about bringing in your own suppliers and making the whole place your own. We hadn't had that option at other venues we looked at. We loved Sandy immediately and on the day Emma was wonderful. They worked very hard to help us realise our dream for the day and worked seamlessly with our planner Roni and we are so grateful! Amazing job!
My Daughter's wedding was in November. Cracking do and lovely venue. Top place couldnt believe the transformation.
We got married here on the 6th August 2016, and seriously cannot recommend this venue enough! Absolutely amazing setting and so great as it is a blank canvas and can have it any way you want! This was perfect for us as we wanted something different and all our guests were blown away with how great it was. With the recommended supplier list it also makes it easy to organise and find suppliers that suit you. We truly had the most perfect day and it was partly down to this fantastic venue. So glad we found Kinkell Byre.
Thanks to sandy and everyone else involved.

Great venue and staff for my wedding band ‘Goldstar’ first class .
First class!
Went to a wedding here and was very impressed. Logistics were good with everything in the one place, service was very efficient and good natured. The BBQ meal was well done (as in efficiency, not burnt) and really filling. Drink flowed at reasonable prices and bar service was slick with minimum queues. We also stayed at the B+B in the grounds which I would recommend, especially for the brilliant fried eggs laid in the grounds by their own hens.
A gorgeous open space where you can add your own little touches to make your wedding individual....���
The team are amazing, so accomodating nothing is too hard - thanks Sam and Sandy! Stevie the lighting guy is unbelievable, he made sure our entire day went very smoothly - he will become your unofficial co-ordinator. The venue is magical. Couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our winter wedding.
If your looking for something different, look no further. The setting is just beautiful. Sandy the owner is so helpful, the Byre is just stunning. All our guests are raving about it. Would definitely recommend this venue.
We travelled from Australia for our son's wedding to Liza Ferrari on
30 May, and absolutely love your venue. It was a great layout, with a lovely area where the wedding service was performed, and there was plenty of plenty of dining and dancing space. Our Australian guests were also impressed with the venue.
A wonderful time was had by all and we were also nice and warm.

We had our wedding at Kinkell Byre in August 2023, and it was the best decision we made. As soon as we viewed the venue, we knew we had to host our wedding here. Sandy and his team are amazing, and they were so patient and understanding during the Covid period where we had to postpone. Our guests were blown away, and it was the perfect blank canvas for us to bring our vision for our wedding to life. It was important that we had a space where we could reflect both our Scottish and Indian cultures (as well as cater for a large number of guests!) and Kinkell Byre surpassed all of our expectations. A particular thank you to Claire and Sophie who both made sure that our day was the most special day of our lives. They took the stress out of everything, were so responsive to all of our emails and questions, and also made us feel like no task was too big. Kinkell has a personal family feel with a team who are able to achieve exceptional professional standards. Stevie also did a brilliant job of the lighting and the compèring on the day. Stevie has exacting standards too and his attention to detail is impeccable - we couldn’t be happier with the lighting, and also how he ran the day so smoothly. The team at Kinkell genuinely care, and it comes across in everything that they do. Thank you to everyone at Kinkell Byre for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. The Chauhans.
We travelled to St ndrews for a wedding. A bit difficult to find. Better and bigger signposting would help. Guest parking on grass for a wedding is not the best and so l advise you drop ladies in their dresses at entrance first. Venue is deceptively large inside with lots of separate spaces. Bar is centrally located. Good wedding and reception venue with chill out and seating areas. Catering was great as well particularly the starters. Lighting of car park at night after event was none-existent. Overall a great wedding was marred by a few flaws.
Great place to host a party or an event. Very beautiful farm setting. Thanks for a great night!
Kinkell Byre is incredible! I've photographed numerous fabulous weddings here over the years, and I've always absolutely loved the final galleries. The location is spectacular! Sea views, country gardens, and the most perfect place for a spectacular sunset shoot. The interior has been made to look magical - twinkling lights and candles decorate a rustic, warm backdrop. There are so many options when it comes to photographs, no wedding is ever the same, which is fantastic for a photographer's creative eye.
The cherry on top of this stunningly unique venue is the staff. They care. They will go out of their way to help you create the most amazing wedding day you've ever dreamed of. You're in excellent hands with this venue.
Fantastic venue. Lovely views over the river to the north east coast. There were plenty of casual seats available. Staff is very attentive. Great place for any type of gathering. Penty of spa e if weather turns rain. Toilets remained clean and fresh all day, well done to all staff. Your efforts were really appreciated by all and helped us all have a great day.
We had our wedding reception in Kinkell Byre in June and it was the perfect venue!
All the staff involved made the entire experience from booking to the day, seamless. They are always on hand for any queries and go above and beyond to make your day extra special. We had so many compliments from our guests about the venue, location, views and staff.
Recently they opened on site cabins for guests to stay in. All of our guests took up the cabins and they couldn't believe how spacious, modern and comfortable they were. Not forgetting very affordable! We can't wait to try them for an overnight soon.
If you are looking for a unique venue with the opportunity to plan a wedding exactly to your dreams in the heart of beautiful St Andrews then Kinkell is the one.
Thank you so much to the team at Kinkell Byre!

Kinkell Byre was the absolute venue of our dreams and exceeded expectations massively on our big day. Being able to put our own stamp on it and the amazing effort the team all put throughout in made the day and run-up unbelievably good! The day went in a flash but we managed to pack so much in and the Kinkell team all made it run so so seamlessly - an amazing job dealing with suppliers, timings etc. which allowed us to fully enjoy ourselves!
We visited Kinkell in Oct 2020 - 2 weeks after our engagement and Sophie gave us the two tours over the weekend. She was so so friendly and knowledgeable and gave us a good initial feeling about the venue- we had it booked 2 days after! It was also the first and only venue we viewed in person!
The Kinkell team were absolute superstars, both answering my many emails with LOTS of queries. Nothing seemed too much hassle and they always responded super quick! A massive help was also Claire on the day who was like my third bridesmaid! Sorting my veil, decorating the cake, feeding me Prosecco when I was freaking out before going down the aisle and making sure we were ready for key photos/timings like the sparkler shot! Tegan was fab as well who had the not so lovely job of tidying up post-party and gathering our items for an easy pop in the car on Sunday.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, we found nowhere else near comparable. Spoilt for choice with so many beautiful spots for photos too. We chose Kinkell as we knew if we weren’t blessed with Scottish sunshine we would still get fab photos - luck was on our side and we were able to get photos in the orchard, against the red barn doors, the sea backdrop and by the golf course.
It was such an amazing day we’ll never forget. I would highly recommend Kinkell to all future brides and grooms looking for a stunning barn venue to put their own stamp on!

We held our wedding reception at Kinkell Byre in May 2022, after having to postpone due to COVID. We can’t recommend Kinkell as a venue and their team enough. Claire, Sophie and the entire team were amazing and super receptive answering all of our questions and helping us navigate the logistics of having to postpone. When it came to the run up and the actual wedding day, everyone at Kinkell were super helpful and ensured everything ran smoothly, meaning we could focus on enjoying the day! Stephen Leslie was also fantastic, the lighting really made for a memorable venue and he was great with the logistical help. The venue itself is so beautiful and we had so many comments about how unique and magical the setting was for our wedding reception.

Played Kinkell Byre twice and on both occasions been met with friendly and accommodating staff. The evening reception space is a great size for a big party. Looking forward to coming back next year.
Just back from a couple of days at the Kinkell Byre cabins. A stunning setting and a great way to chill out. So peaceful. The cabins are excellent and well equipped. Added bonus of being dog friendly we will definitely be back soon.
