There are many reasons why you would choose to get married in Scotland, whether it be that you have family connections here or just that you have always dreamed of a fairytale wedding in a romantic Scottish castle. Or maybe you just like seeing men in kilts!
Your wedding day will be one of the most important days of your life, and with our help you can rest assured it will be one you and your guests remember forever. We operate a fully comprehensive wedding planning service, and we will be with you every step of the way to ensure preparations are hassle free and that the event itself runs like clockwork. We can offer as much or as little assistance as you need, and given that every wedding is unique we will work with you, taking into account your own ideas and your personal tastes, to create your perfect wedding.
We can advise on possible venues for the marriage ceremony and the reception. Outdoor locations are always popular, especially in the summer months, and Scotland certainly has no shortage of castles, many of which are now run as hotels and can create the perfect back drop for your big day. We can offer advice on all aspects of the day itself, from flowers to wedding cakes, from kilt hire to wedding cars, from pipers to ceilidh bands.
The documentation always proves a bit daunting for our wedding couples but we will obtain all the relevant paperwork and can help you to complete the necessary forms. We will also advise you on which documentation from your own country will be required.
And at the risk of stating the obvious, we are quite good at honeymoon tours around Scotland afterwards!

I use all of these, all the time! My granny used to tell me I was “as thrawn as a bag o’ weasels” when I was a wee girl 😂💙🏴The Scots language has words for things no other language bothered to name.
Dreich — that specific grey, damp, miserable weather that isn't quite rain but isn't quite not rain either. The English say "overcast." The Scots say dreich, which sounds exactly like it feels.
Thrawn — stubborn in a particular way. Not just obstinate. Twisted, contrary, determined to do it the wrong way on purpose. There is no English equivalent because English speakers apparently gave up trying to describe this personality type.
Glaikit — vacant. Dopey. The expression on someone's face when the lights are on but nobody is home.
Couthie — warm, friendly, comfortable in a homely way. The feeling of a kitchen that smells like baking and has a dog asleep by the fire.
Wheesht — be quiet. But with feeling. Haud yer wheesht is the full version, and it means be quiet right now and I mean it.
Scunnered — utterly fed up. Beyond tired of something. A level of exasperation English doesn't have a single word for.
Every language reveals the priorities of the people who speak it.
Scottish priorities, apparently, include very specific weather, very specific stubbornness, and very specific silence.
Which one is your favorite? 👇

Hope everyone has been enjoying the antics of the Tartan Army over in Boston for the World Cup! Glad to see the Glasgow tradition of putting cones on statues is alive and well across the pond 😂⚽️🏴The Scottish fans didn't just bring bagpipes and beer to Boston.
They brought traffic cones for the statues too.
