City Chambers Edinburgh Registry Office is the perfect civil wedding venue in Edinburgh.

It’s always thrilling being able to see inside a recently-refurbished wedding venue, and the Marriage Suite at City Chambers, 253 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1YJ, does not disappoint.

As the most experienced and sought after City Chambers photographers and videographers, we’ve been honoured to photograph countless weddings at this fabulous venue in Edinburgh and always enjoy the atmosphere and architecture on offer.

City Chambers Edinburgh Registry Office is in the perfect location for anyone wanting to get married in the city, with excellent transport links and an abundance of hotel accommodation to choose from. Only Gretna Green pips Edinburgh to the post for the most weddings held in Scotland each year. However, we think this relocation of the marriage room from Lothian Chambers might inspire even more couples to get married in the city. It might just begin to give Gretna a run for its money.

Many happy couples have got married at Lothian Chambers over the years. We’ve enjoyed photographing and filming many memorable weddings there. However, the Registration Services have made the move to the High Street, and with it has come a top-notch renovation we’re sure many couples will be delighted to take advantage of. Indeed, if you’re planning on getting married in this stunning location, surrounded by many of the key sights and attractions in Edinburgh, contact us now. We would be privileged to photograph your wedding.

Discover more about Edinburgh City Chambers

The City Chambers have been freshly and considerately renovated to provide a beautiful setting for a touch of romance. Three rooms have been made available for weddings:

Guest Lounge

Couples can meet family and guests in the comfortable Guest Lounge, which has fantastic views across to Edinburgh’s New Town and the Kingdom of Fife.


 

The Alexander Suite

The main Ceremony Room is officially called The Alexander Suite and was named in honour of Alex Currie, a lovely gentleman who had worked at the Registrars’ Office for 23 years. The Alexander Suite has been tastefully decorated in neutral yet warm tones, with a fireplace included as a focal point and an understated chandelier providing a touch of luxury.


 

Signature Room

Newly-wed couples sign the marriage schedule in a smaller adjoining Signature Room.


 

The appeal and versatile nature of these spaces work beautifully for your civil wedding ceremony.

Those in charge of the renovation have achieved a look any couple will love when looking for an Edinburgh Registry Office to get married in. This will not be remembered for a dated or tired look. Instead, the renovation has brought this stylish wedding venue into the 21st century.

The City Of Edinburgh Council has also taken great care to use locally-sourced suppliers for the décor and interior. A lovely example is the oak furniture in use in the marriage rooms, sourced from the Grassmarket Community Project. The fittings also feature contemporary velvet upholstery by Scottish Designer Mairi Helena, as well as Scottish Tweed from the Isle of Bute. Couples can also make good use of the experienced and friendly wedding team if assistance is required.

After your wedding at the City Chambers Marriage Suite, you can take full advantage of the city centre location. Photos can be taken inside the marriage room and in the reception area. An added bonus is the beautiful staircase which offers plenty of natural light for photos.

Outside there are many more opportunities to capture some beautiful moments against the backdrop of Edinburgh’s Old Town.

Iconic locations and landmarks including Parliament Square, St Giles’ Cathedral, and even the Alexander and Bucephalus statue located in the City Chambers courtyard, are all within easy reach. The many sights of Edinburgh provide ample inspiration for taking the wedding day photos you will look back on for many years to come.

Newlywed reviews from our City Chambers weddings

Jonathon photographed my wedding in June and he was fantastic. He is so experienced and laid back he makes everyone very at ease and comfortable. He has great ideas for shots that would work well, as well as incorporating shots that you really want to get. On my big day the weather was rubbish and it rained all day which meant changing some of our plans but Jonathon was brilliant at adapting and coming up with new ideas. We were able to get some beautiful shots. Jonathon is such a lovely guy, he was the only wedding photographer we met with as my husband and I hit it off with him straight away. Everyone commented on the day how nice he was. Definitely recommend Jonathon to anyone looking for a photographer.

Right from the first contact made Jonathan went above and beyond the service given. We were absolutely delighted with the photographs and we still haven't made up our minds which ones to order as all of them were great and just what we wanted. On the actual day we didn't want any fuss and taking the photographs was exactly that. Just like old friends going for a wander around the Royal Mile, having a laugh, taking some pictures which all turned out way beyond our expectations. Both Jonathan and Claire were very friendly, helpful, professional and made the whole experience fun when it could have been quite daunting. Being a Friday night, if we could have, we would have gone for a drink with them afterwards! Would recommend to anyone. Thank you again! x

Jonathon was an absolute gem on our wedding day and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He was professional, clever and made everyone feel at ease. The photos were absolutely beautiful. Several family members and friends commented that the photos “looked like they were just out of a magazine”, which was due to Jonathon’s talent and experience. We also received a sneak peek by the next day, and the rest of the photos the following week! I would also like to mention that he provided us a very last minute and very discounted videography (tripod) service as my mom, family and friends were all in Canada due to Covid19. I was concerned that the zoom call would malfunction (which it did!). We were impressed with his editing skills as there was a bit of chatter in the background of the zoom call during the ceremony and he managed to remove pretty well all of it. To sum things up: Jonathon did an all-around brilliant job, we are so pleased with his services and we would certainly recommend him to anyone!

Kenny – Edinburgh City ChambersKenny – Edinburgh City Chambersthe best photographer in town!

Jonathon photographed our wedding at the Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh, in May.

We contacted Jonathon several months before our wedding, he responded very quickly and our first impression was that he was very friendly and professional. We were both very impressed by his photos on his website and were both keen to have him as our photographer.

On the big day, he turned up to the chambers to meet and greet us and wasted no time to get started taking photos of everyone there. He has taken many photos at the chambers before so not only did he know where the best shots were, but he also helped us in terms of what to do and expect on the day. He did well to settle a few nerves too!

Following the chambers, we headed up to Calton Hill to get more photos. These turned out to be incredible shots that we fell in love with instantly. With his vast knowledge and passion for photography, he wasted no time in getting as many shots in many different locations. This was particularly important as we only had booked a short time with him.

I would 100% recommend Jonathon to anyone, especially if you are getting married in Edinburgh. Our family and friends were all very impressed by the final photos and have all commented to us that Jonathon was a joy to work with on the day.

Great guy to work with to capture our big day, so delighted with the results. Couldn’t possibly thank Jonathon enough for the services he provided to us on our wedding day. Very professional individual knew exactly what we wanted before even asking him. Amazing service provided from first enquiry straight through to receiving photo CD. Can’t stop looking at the end results of a lovely day. Had so many lovely comments from friends, family and work colleagues on how lovely the photos are and also passed Jonathon’s details on for future couples getting married next year.

We couldn't be happier with our photographs and video of our wedding by Love Wedding Photos and Film. We found them on Instagram and instantly fell in love with their work. Due to lockdown we arranged an elopement at Edinburgh City Chambers (after 4 cancellations...) and Jonathon and Claire made our small but special day stress free and captured so many moments that we had forgotten and moments which is great for sharing with our friends and family. Before the day, Jonathon gave us so many options on what we could do and how we could make the most of our time with them. They really know Edinburgh and pick the most beautiful spots. Jonathon and Claire also acted as our witnesses which is perfect for a micro-wedding/elopement (especially with the 5 people restriction). Thank you both again for perfectly capturing our day that we can look back on for years to come.

Lauren and Iain – Edinburgh City ChambersLauren and Iain – Edinburgh City Chamberscaptured so many moments that we had forgotten

We have just had the most fantastic experience with Jonathon last week at our Edinburgh City Chambers ceremony. We booked with him earlier this year and straight away felt at ease communicating regularly via email. He was happy answering questions at length and never made us feel like we were bothering him, always replying within the day. Unfortunately our wedding fell during the pandemic and for a long time we were unsure if it would go ahead, but Jonathon was patient and encouraging and assured us that he'd be ready to shoot our wedding at only a days notice if required. On the day he attended earlier than planned, as requested by us, at a moments notice and was friendly but professional throughout the day. We felt totally at ease and he went above and beyond to make sure we got the images we had dreamed of on our special day! Edinburgh holds a special place in our hearts and Jonathon captured it beautifully! We could not recommend him highly enough...he literally made our day and gave us memories we'll cherish forever.

We booked Jonathon for our intimate wedding ceremony in Dec 18. He has been extremely helpful, friendly and professional right through from our initial booking enquiry to providing us with our wedding photographs. He made us feel at ease on our day and we could not be happier with our photographs. We couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you Jonathon!

Organising a wedding from the other side of the world and at short notice could well have made our elopement a stressful venture, but from the moment my husband and I booked Jonathon to photograph our wedding day in Edinburgh, we knew we were in good hands. Thank you Jonathon for being such an important part of our day and for the wonderful photographs!

Thank you Jonathon for creating beautiful memories for our special day. I’m not the most relaxed person in front of the camera but you really put us at ease with your professionalism, calmness and organisation. We aren’t too familiar with Edinburgh, but Jonathon managed to match how we wanted our photos to look with the best locations. The pictures that we have of the day are perfect, and they are everything that we wanted them to be. I would recommend to anyone, thank you again.

Jonathon was absolutely amazing on our wedding day - he had an extremely calm, organised, unobtrusive and professional manner which was invaluable on a rather stressful day! He was so knowledgeable in terms of recommending the best light and locations for our various photos, and was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the day. We received our photos in a very timely manner and with an amazing choice of colour or black and white. We love each and every one of them and our friends and families love them too - commenting on what a fantastic job Jonathon had done in capturing every moment and every tiny detail. We are delighted with our photos, and would highly recommend Jonathon for anyone considering wedding photography.

We are absolutely thrilled with our beautiful wedding photos, taken by Jonathan and Claire. This lovely couple were friendly, helpful and very professional, also taking time to make our young daughter comfortable during the shoot. Our photos exceeded all expectations and we would definitely recommend Jonathan and Claire without hesitation. Thank you so much for capturing the essence of our special day and for giving us such wonderful memories that we will cherish forever. Your beautiful energy and passion for what you do was a key part of our whole wedding experience. Thank you so much again. From Craig, Steph and Amelia.

We're really pleased with the video. To be honest, it was never our idea to get one - we had our arms twisted by my mum - and we sat down to watch it last week expecting to cringe all the way through but were so surprised at how good it was and how pleased we are now to have it! (although I did have to admit to my mum she was right!) The quality is great, the sound's excellent and it's a lovely reminder of the day. We particularly like the way you picked up on our sense of humour and left some funny lines in on the audio. It really feels like the video has been customised for us rather than made-to-formula which I suspect is the case with other companies!

We highly recommend Jonathon as a wedding photographer. We are a Swedish couple who married at Lothian Chambers, Edinburgh, a sunny day last September. Since we have never visited Scotland before, we planned everything from abroad and were a bit anxious about many things and details. But Jonathon was reassuringly great from first contact. He was extremely helpful an answered quickly in our discussions. On the wedding day he made us feel relaxed and very comfortable and we can´t praise him enough for his professional work with his camera. The photos are really excellent, brilliant and beautiful. Eventually he also became one of our wedding witnesses! Thank you so much, Jonathon, for everything!
