Made our big day go perfectly

Fantastic, incredible, amazing. Everyone at the piping centre made sure our big day went perfectly. We're so grateful to all the staff, but especially Emily and Lauren who kept us on track throughout the day, and our piper who did a beautiful job piping my wife down the aisle. The team were very good with allergens and made sure all of our guests dietary requirements were taken care of. They were also just generally delightful and friendly, providing a wonderfully welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. I thought getting married would be more nervewracking but everything went so smoothly and we knew we were in safe hands. They were also incredibly LGBT+ friendly, which was very important for us as a queer couple with a lot of LGBT+ guests.

Small wedding, perfect venue

We booked in December, married the next May, on a Saturday. Where else is that possible?! Perfect all round, a very happy day. Emily gave us great service, understood what we wanted, and that’s what we got. Ceremony in the auditorium, drinks in the museum, dinner in the restaurant. Food was better than we had had when testing in the public restaurant. We booked rooms which was ideal. Upgrade to the wines by the bottle, much nicer and reasonably priced.

Absolutely amazing wedding venue!

The team at the Piping Centre couldn't do enough for us from the moment we enquired about having our wedding there until when we che ked out afterwards. They took away all the stress of planning our wedding and the day itself ran so smoothly. I stayed there for 2 nights and all the staff were amazing. The Piping Centre will always hold a special wee place in my heart. I couldn't recommend more!
