Reviews for Mansion House, Edinburgh Zoo
Amazing planning and on-the-day coordination from a fabulous team at Mansion House!
The ceremony room is beautiful, the location was perfect for us, as it is such an easy venue for guests to park at or get public transport to and from. We loved the fact that we could both get ready in rooms within the venue itself - couples can easily avoid each other if they wanted to but we loved the option to spend some time together in the morning whilst also having plenty of space to get ready. The room for "the boys" is a really special library, and "the girls" have a lovely bright room which is ideal for hair and make-up: getting ready to the sounds of monkeys in the early morning was pretty special!
The venue combined so many of the key elements we were looking for - a traditional venue (with a twist!). We had guests with accessibility requirements which the venue worked with us to accommodate with ease. The option for our guests to explore the zoo during the reception and whilst we had our photos taken meant that everyone was kept well entertained in what can otherwise be a "slower" time.
The Mansion House events team were so accommodating and helpful in the lead up to and on the day itself - we can only thank them for all of their support, kindness, and flexibility which helped everything go smoothly on the day. The staff were consistently professional and personable, and we received lots of compliments on the food as well!
A massive thank you to everyone who helped make our day so special.
Wonderful venue, professional friendly staff

Uniquely Amazing
Most special day ❤️
An amazing day in a beautiful venue
Our wedding planner was so helpful and easy to communicate with, and really listened to what we wanted.
On the day everyone was so friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make the day go as well as possible and the food was amazing.
We couldn’t be happier with how our day went.
May the 4th wedding
Before our day the communication was professional and arranging face to face meetings for last minute nerves and queries were met with patience and positivity.
Nothing was too much trouble and our requests were all seen to with a smile.
On the day the team were amazing and the building and grounds were breathtaking.
Wedding 27-04-2024
On the day of and day before the wedding, Ben made us feel so relaxed by coordinating the full event so we could enjoy it to the fullest.
Fantastic venue
On the day itself, the venue looked beautiful and all the catering staff were so friendly and helpful from start to finish. Their professionalism, warmth and efficiency was impressive. We had some guests with mobility issues and others with special dietary requirements and all were catered to throughout the whole day/evening with ease. The meal we had was delicious and all our guests as well as us (the happy couple) thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend Edinburgh Zoo/Mansion house to anyone looking for a wedding venue.
Amazing Experience
Fantastic from start to finish
The zoo was an incredible venue. Everything was seamless and we couldn’t have been happier with the day. All of our guests commented on the kind staff and the stunning building (mansion house) .
Thank you for a wonderful day.
