Meet the Wedding Coordinator

Lauren Welsh

Hi! My name is Lauren and I have been coordinating wedding ceremonies at Dundonald Castle since early 2020. It is a very rewarding role and I have worked with some lovely couples during this time. One of the main aspects of the role is helping to make the planning process as smooth as possible and help to eliminate stress. Only coordinating up to 15 wedding ceremonies per year, gives me the chance to really get to know our couples and it is always a pleasure to see everyone's happy faces on the day itself. We're always available at the end of a call, text, or email and will strive to help in any way we can.
