Legend Claws Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hello! So if you are married where did you tie the knot? I am looking for a venue for a civil/humanist ceremony and the websites out there are terrible. And as we are currently over here it is hard to get info other than said sites. Fancy getting married in a nice traditional venue and having the reception elsewhere. Most likely in Edinburgh/Borders/East Lothian maybe even Fife. Any help would be grand!

Tams bird Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 My brother got marrried at the mansion house at the zoo. Lovely setting outside. There was a humanist wedding the next day. Think it was the first one so a bit of a fuss about it then.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the ceremony, meal and reception there so no need to waste drinking time by moving venues. They did a great job. Incidentally, weather permitting they will take you onto the roof to get pics with Edinburgh Castle in the background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pammiep Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Avoid the Queensferry Hotel in North Queensferry like the plague. We were at wedding reception there last weekend. I had to keep my coat on the whole time cos it was freezing. The buffet (?8 a head) consisted of cold sausage rolls, stale rolls, turkey twizzlers and doritos. The fireworks over the bridge were the highight of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even did bacon and blackpudding rolls etc around midnight to soak up some of the alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fireworks over the bridge were the highight of the night. Thats a shame pam, I had my wedding reception in there back in 1999 and I had a cracking night, and the buffet was a lot cheaper, and the staff were really helpful, but then it was a few years ago and I guess the management has changed(as has my marital status. lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartgarfunkel Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Inchcolm Abbey Chapterhouse. There's bevvy on the boat out and back, a boozer right at the quayside (Hawes Inn), and you can take your own sauce onto the island. Had the reception at the Houston House Hotel, top service, stayed in the old castle bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you go around the corner onto Castle Terrace there is a church that will do non religious services. I can't remember it's name but will walk past it tomorrow and post. We used the Assembly Rooms. No complaints and a lovely venue. Rates by the hour and a choice of rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosewood Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Got married in January and had our reception at the George Hotel. Fantastic venue and the main hall has recently been renovated. I know you can get married there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Taz, would quite like a church but not sure about the rules with regards to humanist/civil services. Thanks to all for the info keep it coming!

chester copperpot Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Went to a cracking wedding reception down in South Queensferry. It was called the Orocco Pier. The wedding party were a bunch of tossers , and the guests were a harem of jakeballs, but the venue was just superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
