BOOK YOUR VENUE as soon as possible as attractive wedding locations are always in demand!

Thanks to changes in the law, it is now possible to have a civil ceremony at many venues where traditionally only the reception could have been held. Although the advantages are obvious, the disadvantage is that you are left with a staggering choice of beautiful locations in which to hold your ceremony and reception! Scotland has some wonderfully cosy intimate venues, grand mansion houses for elegant dining and a world-class range of hotels. Many have facilities for ceremonies, such as chapels, gardens, glorious suites and rooms where you can dine in style. In addition to privately owned venues The National Trust for Scotland and Historic Scotland offer an outstanding range of properties. Venues you would assume are beyond your grasp are, in reality, very amenable to hosting weddings, with the added bonus of an events team to help you along the way. Although there are certain restrictions with regard to the opening hours for the public viewing, the atmosphere and quality of these locations are unsurpassed. Whether privately owned or not,                                                             there is a venue out there that's perfect for your wedding...

Castles

Not as expensive as you might think, but often not as large, either! A castle is a romantic and memorable place which can provide a stunning background for photographs. Castles run as wedding venues tend to be incredibly accommodating, atmospheric and an ideal place for a stylish and classic celebration. The disadvantage can be the lack of sleeping accommodation for your guests. However, as castles often are located near beauty spots, this usually isn't a problem with bed and breakfasts, guest houses and hotels around the corner.

Hotels

Coming in all shapes and sizes, hotels vary in price structures and frequently have wedding packages to suit every taste. The advantage of a hotel is that there is usually a wedding co-ordinator to help with your arrangements, who will have good local knowledge of services available. Some hotels will have a function facility charge which can be as much as £5.00 per head, which can sometimes be waived if the party is over the minimum number set by the hotel.
