Situated in the vibrant city of Edinburgh, Scotland, Riddle’s Court is a unique hidden gem. This A-listed former merchant’s home nestled close to Edinburgh Castle has recently re-opened after extensive renovation. Now, it's offering stylish weddings in the heart of the historic city. From the moment you enter from the Royal Mile, the venue exudes character and charm with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

Facilities and Capacity

Steeped in 400 years of history, the venue used to host banquets for royalty, and has since been enjoyed by couples on their own special days. The spacious rooms are perfect for wedding feasts and dances, and the lovely balconies provide a beautiful setting for photos. The venue can comfortably host up to 60 guests, making it ideal for smaller gatherings. After the festivities, couples can spend the night in the King's Chamber, a 16th-century apartment that makes a perfect honeymoon suite. Beautifully renovated to feature all modern comforts, this room was once used by King James VI of Scotland to host a dinner party.

Services Offered

The venue’s dedicated team will work with you to bring your ideas to life, creating the style and atmosphere that’s right for you. They can provide a range of catering and wedding event services to ensure a memorable occasion, and are happy to recommended suppliers based on your specifications.
