I have worked within Balbirnie’s team for the past four years as a
Senior Assistant Manager and I love it. I am passionate about food,
drink, travel and hospitality.

The past few years have brought me an amazing set of new skills which

we have used to launch the Balbirnie App, Takeaway and also the

amazing SEVEN at Balbirnie. Working as part of our team and seeing

what we all can achieve is fantastic. We really are passionate about

everything we do at the hotel and seeing our guests have a wonderful

time and enjoy themselves really is worth all the hard work and effort

that we all put in.




We are launching new Aafmterrneoalolynloteo

How did your love story begin? We first met at school when we were just teenagers and

our love blossomed from there. We’ve been together 10 years this year!
Why did you choose Balbirnie? Our main priority when choosing our wedding venue was
somewhere that would make all our guests feel comfortable but most of all where our wee


dog Apollo would be welcome! We brought us with him to view the venue back in 2018 and

knew straight away this was the one for us! The house dog called Balfour was the icing on top
of the cake as it’s now married name!
What would your advice be for future couples? Everybody says this and we thought yea
yea but it is honestly the quickest day! Don’t let nerves get in the way, everyone that's there is
because they mean something to you and want to celebrate with you!
Special thanks to everyone at Balbirnie for everything they done on the day! Was the best day
of our whole lives.
