Your Wedding. Your Rules. Welcome to The Richmond.
Historic Bones
Modern Vibes
Ultimate Flexibility
You don’t want boring.
You don’t want to choose between chicken or beef because a venue said so.
You don’t want a wedding that feels like someone else's.
And you definitely don’t want your wedding to feel like a template.
The Richmond is for couples who want flexibility, personality and a space that adapts to them - not the other way around.
Think: character filled architecture, beautiful natural light, a space you can truly make your own, and the freedom to build a day that actually reflects you.
DIY it. Dress it up. Strip it back. Go big. Keep it intimate.
We’re here for all of it.

We’re experienced, calm, and quietly obsessed with making sure your day runs smoothly - but we’ll never box you into a “set menu wedding” mould.
The Space
Built in 1924, The Richmond has character in all the right ways.
Original architectural details.
Beautiful natural light.
A venue that transforms effortlessly.
It’s got that rare thing: history without heaviness. A space that feels warm, relaxed and effortlessly cool.
It photographs beautifully. It transforms easily. And it works just as well for candlelit dinners as it does for full-scale dancefloor chaos.
At The Richmond, you get the space - and the freedom.
Total freedom. Proper support.
We’re proudly a dry hire wedding venue in Ayrshire - which means no fixed menus, no forced supplier lists, and no “this is how we do it here.”
But here’s the important bit: You’re not just handed the keys and wished good luck.
We’re here to guide, advise and support throughout the process.
Need trusted supplier recommendations? We’ve got them.
Not sure how timelines work? We’ll help you map it out.
Want reassurance? Always.
You get creative control - with with our experience as backup.
