Edinburgh Wedding Venues
One of the first things that you need to do after getting engaged is to find a
suitable wedding venue. You'll often find that the most common question that
people ask you when they hear about your engagement is "Have you set the date yet?".
In most cases it's pretty difficult to set a date before you have chosen the venue
because unless your date is very far in advance you may find that your venue is
already booked on that date!
If you decide to get married and have your wedding reception in a single venue
you may find it useful to check out the
list of approved places for civil marriages in Scotland. This is a good starting
point, as you will not be able to have a civil ceremony unless the venue has a
license for this.
The next step is to start thinking about possibilities for venues. As well as hotels,
you may also want to think about castles, museums, colleges or universities.
If you want to go for a hotel wedding, a good place to start your research is
TripAdvisor. Have a look at their
Top Hotels in Edinburgh. These hotels have been
rated by members of the public who have actually visited and stayed at the hotel
so you get a good feel for the quality and service of the hotel, which is very
important if you are planning to have your wedding there!
If you don't want a hotel wedding or you are just looking for a unique wedding venue in Edinburgh here are a few suggestions:
Once you have done your research and decided on a short-list, phone each of the venues
and make an appointment to be shown round. At this point you will need to have a rough
idea of numbers and your budget so you can decide whether or not this is the venue
for you.
