There are many wonderful and unique wedding venues in Edinburgh and Scotland. From small intimate wedding venues to larger locations able to accommodate 200+ people, there’s a wedding venue to cater for every taste and budget.
Since 2006, we’ve been fortunate to film and photograph over 500 weddings in a wide range of wedding venues in Edinburgh and throughout the length and breadth of Scotland.
Scotland has seen a steady increase in the number of Humanist wedding ceremonies. There’s no longer a requirement to be married in a church or Registrar’s Office. You can legally choose to be married somewhere unusual, unique and entirely personal. How does getting married on a beautiful beach sound to you? Or a hilltop wedding ceremony overlooking the city of Edinburgh?
Scotland has a wealth of fantastic locations in which to get married, limited only by your imagination.
Although there are many typical wedding venues in Edinburgh and Scotland, we’ve also photographed and filmed weddings in some unusual locations which most people wouldn’t immediately consider as a place to be married.
One thing all of the marriage places have in common – fantastic memories of two people publicly declaring their love for one another.
We looked back over our portfolio of wedding videos and gallery of wedding photos and wanted to share with you just how unique and diverse Scotland is for hosting weddings.
