Perched on top of a cliff overlooking the Firth of Clyde, Trump Turnberry takes your breath away before you even set foot inside.
As you ascend the drive towards the hotel, it’s hard to not feel like you’re in a Hollywood movie.

The reception area sets the scene for the rest of the hotel, with its white marble pillars contrasting with the beautiful dark panelled walls.
However, what really catches your eye are the sparkling chandeliers.
A roaring fire is also there to greet you; a very welcome addition on a cold Scottish day!
On arrival, I was whisked off to the spa for a relaxing full body massage.
This was 50 minutes of pure bliss.
After the treatment, I was taken to the relaxation room where they provided me with a Kombucha shot, a glass of water and a lemon sorbet.
Just one small example of how they go above and beyond for their guests!
You can then continue your relaxation in their beautiful infinity pool.
While I was unwinding, my husband was being treated to a golf lesson with one of Trump Turnberry’s PGA professionals.
He loved it so much he booked himself in for another round of golf the next morning.
This would be the perfect way to let off some steam the day before the wedding.
Before checking in, we were given a show-round of all the beautiful venues Trump Turnberry has to offer wedding couples, who can choose from two packages.
If you want to host a big showstopper of a wedding, the To Have and To Hold package is the one for you.
It allows you to treat up to 500 guests for a grand affair in the magnificent Donald J. Trump Ballroom – although you also have the option to use the Crystal
Ballroom next door for your ceremony and drinks reception.
It is hard to put into words just how beautiful the Donald J. Trump Ballroom is.
From the moment you walk through the doors, it takes your breath away.
The first things you notice are the eight beautiful Swarovski crystal chandeliers, sparkling in the sunlight that streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows, which boast stunning views of Ailsa Craig.
Your wedding cuisine is all taken care of in-house, leaving you one less thing to worry about and from sampling a delicious three-course meal in the 1906 restaurant, I can assure you, your wedding breakfast meal will be one your guests will never forget.
Turnberry’s other package – the Happily Ever After – is perfect if you’re organising a wedding on a smaller scale, catering for up to 150 guests in the Caledonia Ballroom, where you can rest assured the team will treat you to the same outstanding service.
After touring the hotel’s sumptuous ballrooms, it was time to check in and we were treated to the beautiful Deluxe Ocean View room, which is included in both of the wedding packages.
The king sized bed is made from hand-carved mahogany and believe me, it’s one of the comfiest I’ve ever slept in!
My favourite feature of the room however had to be the sea view from the beautiful free standing bath!
We were lucky enough to enjoy a gorgeous sunset over Ailsa Craig.
I could wax lyrical about why you should get married at Trump Turnberry, but just know that if you decide to have your special day here, you and your guests will be treated like royalty!
