Landmark Wedding Venues in Lothian & Borders

Our Wedding day at The Old Dr Bells Baths in July 2019, was without doubt, the happiest day of our lives. We truly appreciated the staff, their enthusiasm and intuition on the day added to the joy of the occasion as we were free to simply soak up the atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble and a lot of guests commented on how lovely they all were. The pairing of Dr Bells as a venue and Angels with Bagpipes as a caterer is a masterstroke; an exemplary menu and a superb venue both serve as an amazing foundation to any celebration and the success of our day was an outstanding example of that relationship. Right from the outset it was apparent that the Dr Bells "ethos" was to deliver the best at fair price, without adding on the wedding premium, of which so many other venues are guilty. All of our guests said ours was the best wedding they had been to. The unique brand of hospitality at Dr Bells, immediately made our guests feel at home. Our day was truly memorable and we owe this to the hard work of Mike and Fraser and their teams at the Old Dr Bells Baths. Thank you so much for all our happy memories. Laura & Kenny Lean

My husband, Neil, and I got married in June 2019 in the beautiful Riddle's Court. We had the most wonderful day with all our friends and family, and Riddle's Court played a huge part in making it so special. In the run up to our wedding, Gail and Louise, the events coordinators at Riddle's Court, allowed us the flexibility to plan our day as we envisioned, and were always eager to accommodate our wishes. On the day, their help and support was key in helping the day flow seamlessly (from our point of view anyway!), which meant we were able to fully enjoy the time with our friends and family. Riddle's Court is an absolutely stunning venue (all our guests thought so too!) and we feel so lucky to have hosted our wedding in its historic rooms. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Riddle's Court to anyone considering having their wedding there.

The day was perfect, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you so much to you and all of the team there.

We had our wedding reception at Ghillie Dhu. We searched many venues in Edinburgh for our wedding reception, but found that Ghillie Dhu could provide us with the bespoke style wedding package that we wanted. From our first enquiry into Ghillie Dhu right through to our final contact after the wedding, the level of customer service was superb. The venue itself is spectacular with amazing period features, so naturally our photographer had a field day! So many of our guests commented to us at how beautifully the venue had been lit and decorated for our special day. There was ample bar staff to accommodate our 130 guests, and the food served was incredible. We opted for a hog roast, and even I went back for seconds it was that good! Our wedding/event manager was fantastic, she organised everything perfectly and tended to our every need (including my flat shoes hidden under my seat!) We were made to feel very special, and could not have wished for any more. In my eyes, Ghillie Dhu deserves every wedding award under the sun and I look forward to hear how they do at The Scottish Wedding Awards!”

I stayed in Carberry Tower for a couple of nights with my girlfriend and was one of the most amazing places I've ever been in. The grounds and the exterior is breathtaking, the rooms are extremely nice and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the dining experience on our first night which I cannot recommend enough. All in all it is a great place to stay and there is no one I wouldn't recommend it too!

The venue itself is amazing and totally unique. We had both the ceremony and reception in the venue and the staff were really helpful and friendly. We knew we didnt want the normal sit down option and the Caves went out their way to find a menu that suited us - a huge medieval banquet! I would recommend this venue to anyone.

An excellent wedding reception venue
