Fabulous feedback from our The Caledonian Edinburgh newlyweds
Jonathan was so easy to work with, even with everything being booked overseas 😊 He was not pushy and did not try and make us appear mannequin like. Everything was easy breezy. He photographed our wedding before during and after and the photos were amazing! I would absolutely work with him again. Place your moments in his hands and you will come away with stunningly captured memories.

We absolutely loved having Jonathon and Claire shoot our wedding. From the planning to the big day we felt totally totally listened to and supported. Jonathon and Claire were able to make suggestions without being pushy and when it came to capturing the ceremony and reception they were very unobtrusive. Would highly recommend.

THANK YOU! The photos are fantastic and we are so so pleased with them. It was lovely to receive them and re-live the day again. Our family are equally as thrilled with the final photos as we are. You’ve done a great job.

Hi Jonathon, We watched the wedding video last night and we're both really pleased with it! Thanks so much, you have captured the day so well. We absolutely love the highlights edit!

I would highly recommend using Jonathon Fowler if you are looking for a high-quality wedding photographer. I first used Jonathon to video my brothers 21st which we were very pleased with the outcome. We, therefore, felt we could trust Jonathon to do a great job with our wedding photos and he did! He gives clear direction whilst taking the photos and has a great manner about him. We didn’t even notice him taking many of the other natural shots and were delighted with them all. The difficult part is choosing your favourites out of the hundreds of photos! There is lots of opportunities to customise your album to exactly what you like and we are absolutely delighted with the final album! The quality of the actual print and pages exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t have been happier. Thanks, Jonathon!

Peacock Alley
Peacock Alley is the social hub of this magnificent setting in Edinburgh.
Formerly part of the Caledonian Railway station, you can see the original stonework.
The original Caledonian Station clock can still be viewed in homage to the room’s history.
Peacock Alley is great for relaxing cocktails, delicious food, and famous afternoon teas.
Located near the lobby area, it’s also where wedding guests and family can gather to meet before being invited to witness your wedding ceremony.
Castle Lounge
The Castle Lounge at The Caledonian Edinburgh is the perfect gathering space for your post-wedding ceremony drinks reception and leads directly to the Castle Suite.
Pillars provide further interest and mark out space beautifully for your wedding reception.
The room also features a grand piano, which many couples have taken advantage of when considering some musical accompaniment to their celebrations.
Castle Suite
No room has more detail, history, and delights to be discovered than the Castle Suite.
As the name suggests, it provides magnificent views of Edinburgh Castle.
The room is also listed, so its many historic features have been protected and preserved.

With a capacity of 150 for a wedding reception, the Castle Suite lives up to its name in more ways than one.
Boardroom
Getting married in the Boardroom provides you with a distinguished setting for your wedding.
Oak panelling lends a traditional feel, while natural daylight floods into the room from the half-moon windows.
The room can hold 80 people for a reception, providing the ideal space to enjoy celebrating your vows.
Versailles Suite
It would be understandable if couples assumed the event rooms would be too large for their celebrations.
If you and your loved one are planning a more intimate wedding, consider hiring the Versailles Suite.
It features stunning neoclassical murals hand-painted on the walls, hidden air conditioning, plenty of natural light, and space for 25 guests at your reception.
As such, it provides the perfect marriage between style and size.
Pompadour Suite
Harking back to the famous Madame de Pompadour, the Pompadour at The Caledonian Edinburgh is one of the most celebrated eateries in Scotland, not just Edinburgh.
