One of the north-east’s most popular hotels has celebrated success at a national awards event focused on recognising and rewarding excellence in the wedding industry.
Aberdeen’s country house in the city, Macdonald Norwood Hall, received the Best Wedding Venue (Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire) honour at the Your Scottish Wedding Awards after seeing off fierce competition.
The winners were announced during a black-tie ceremony, held at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Glasgow, with judges impressed by the team’s dedication to providing first-class customer service to brides and grooms.
Having secured the Wedding Venue of the Year (North) and Local Wedding Exhibition of the Tear titles at the Scottish Wedding Awards in 2024, this latest award for Macdonald Norwood Hall is welcome recognition for the hotel’s dedicated team of wedding professionals.

Katrina Wardrop, general manager at Macdonald Norwood Hall, said: “This achievement is credit to every member of our outstanding team who all work tirelessly to provide the best possible experience for each bride and groom that chooses to celebrate their big day at Macdonald Norwood Hall.
“The care and attention to detail shown by our colleagues, who know exactly what it takes to plan a successful wedding, plays a major role in our ability to deliver the highest levels of service consistently throughout the entire year.”
Built in 1881 and located within the grounds of the 15th century Pitfodels Castle, Macdonald Norwood Hall is surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery, including seven acres of gardens and woodland, which provides the perfect setting for weddings of all sizes.
The award-winning venue has welcomed thousands of brides and grooms through its doors over the past 50 years and continues to host countless special moments for all the family.
With 73 luxury bedrooms, including bridal suites and period rooms, Macdonald Norwood Hall can accommodate ceremonies of all sizes – from up to 200 people in the venue’s ballroom to smaller, more intimate events in the library or private function rooms.
The four-star hotel caters for weddings all year round and never holds more than one ceremony on any given day to ensure complete focus is given to each couple.
Similarly, the menu for each wedding or event can be personalised to suit individual tastes or preferences while retaining an emphasis on quality food and drink, including locally-sourced produce and fresh ingredients.
