Cabins
Our 10 self-catering Cabins are available for you to book on the night of your wedding and the night before if you have a set up day. If you book all 10 they are cheaper than if you book individually, but this is also an option for you :)
They sleep 2 people each so 20 people can stay on site over your wedding. We have a communal BBQ area located at the front of the Cabins where you can get together with your friends and family the night before!
Furniture hire available from Kinkell Byre
We also offer optional hire of tables, chairs and Chesterfield sofas directly from Kinkell Byre.
No need for room resets
Kinkell Byre is made up of separate areas which allows each part of your day to have its own space, which can all be set up in advance. There is no need for room re-setting and this helps create a relaxed flow to your day. The average wedding here at Kinkell Byre is between 100-120 people however the space is extremely flexible and has hosted weddings from 60 people to 450 people.
We don’t charge corkage
We don’t believe in charging you extra for wines and fizz you’ve already bought, so you don’t need to worry about any extra corkage charges coming from us. Our preferred bar supplier, Event Bars St Andrews, offers a comprehensive choice of wine and fizz for your convenience.
Choose your own suppliers
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your dream caterer to get your dream venue – so we don’t tell you who to use. The only people that we ask you to use are our lighting and bar suppliers, as they have bespoke equipment tailored to our venue. If you are looking for ideas, we have a list of recommended suppliers who we have worked with often and regard as part of the team. If you are still looking for ideas, we are happy to offer our advice.
Coordinated Wedding Package
If you love the venue, but don’t want the blank canvas option, we can organise a full wedding package on request. Find out more here
Legal Ceremonies
We are very lucky in Scotland where getting married does not just mean a traditional church ceremony or registrary office. Scotland is one of the only places in the world that allows you to get married anywhere, your way, all that you need is a registered body and a marriage schedule. Here you can find out how this works.

Floor Plan
Kinkell Byre has 4 areas that can be used to suit your event. We are lucky enough to have a layout that allows for an effortless flow throughout the day, meaning you’re never herded into different spaces to reset rooms!
Below we have explained what each area is typically used for and the dimensions of each area. This should not be taken as a set format you are of course free to decide exactly how you would like to use the space.
Ian’s Shed
(Approx. 23.5 m x 6 m (141 m2 ) 1500 sq ft)
Usually used as an entrance area, but can also be used as a ceremony area for up to 110. Also can be used for additional reception space for serving drinks on arrival. It’s also a good indoor space for photographs if needed.
The Long Shed
(Approx 41 m x 5.5 m (225.5 m2 ) 2,400 sq ft)
Mainly used for the drinks reception, lounge seating and the bar – the hessian curtains between this area and the dining space and dance floor are kept closed throughout the day and are then opened after dinner to connect both spaces
Dance Floor
(Approx. 31 m x 14 m (434 m²) Approx. 4,500 sq. ft)
This wooden floor area, for most events provides plenty of space for tables, chairs and dancing without any need for re-setting. The space allows for flexibility to choose table sizes shapes and layouts to suit your theme and décor.
Tattie Shed
(Approx 14.5 m x 10.5 m (152.5 m2 ) 1,600 sq ft)
This area is the most popular for wedding ceremonies. Max capacity in here is 200 for your ceremony. Alternatively, it can be used as a second area for tables & chairs seating up to 120 which combined with the Dance Floor allows room for a total of 350-450 depending on required dance floor area.
After the ceremony, we move your chairs down to the tables and you can reuse this space in a multitude of different ways; games, mini golf, photobooth, buffet set up for your wedding breakfast or for your evening food
Stables
This area is is usually used as the kitchen space – your chosen caterer can bring in their own catering equipment and set up in here. There is a external door to bottle bins and recycling and also has direct access to the Long Shed to serve canapés and an easy route down to the tables for quick dinner service.
