Glasshouse Hotel Weddings
Glasshouse Hotel, Edinburgh’s secret wedding garden in the heart of the city centre…
Combining Edinburgh’s finest history and City Chic lifestyle, The Glasshouse Hotel is the perfect venue to say ‘I do’ with a choice of five elegant spaces, each offering a unique setting for your big day. The Observatory is bathed in natural light and is perfect for ceremonies of up to 60 guests. Looking for a more intimate ceremony? Say your vows in The Henderson Gallery, which is set against the cast window of the original Lady Glenorchy Church holding up to 20 guests. For our pièce de resistance hosting up to 80 guests, hold your ceremony either on the lawn or under the pergola, followed by your Wedding Breakfast and Evening function in the Calton Suite. The two acre roof top garden features premier views of Calton Hill, offering the ultimate backdrop for your wedding photos.
Our dedicated events team are on hand to take the stress out of planning your big day.
A Walk Down the Aisle
With a variety of choices incorporating a lawn-set ceremony beside our romantic pergola, a vow exchange on the terrace overlooking the stunning Calton Hill, indoors within our observatory and its floor-to-ceiling windows, or our Henderson Gallery which is set against the vast window of the original Lady Glenorchy Church; the aisle you arrive down is really your choice.
Whether you have your heart set on a breath-taking rooftop ceremony or prefer something slightly more traditional in our stunning indoor spaces, we’re happy to accommodate your every need in our four distinct, dazzling and unique settings.
As well as our full-day wedding packages, we also offer a ceremony only option; starting from a personal bride & groom only affair, to a ceremony for up to 80 guests.
It’s Time to Eat, Drink and be Merry
Take a deep breath and relax; it is time for the celebrations to begin! Toast your newly wedded status with carefully chosen beverages and delicious canapés to whet your guest’s appetites, before your wedding breakfast is served. Our
brigade of expert Chefs have crafted a series of seasonal, locally sourced Scottish menus, providing the perfect culinary experience to your special day.
Once your evening guests arrive it’s time to dance the rest of the night away to your choice of DJs, live or Ceilidh bands.
We can comfortably cater for up to 80 guests for your wedding breakfast, and 110 guests for the evening reception.
And Now Relax
Weddings are a blur of activity from dawn until dusk, so it’s reassuring to know that you have a luxurious, calming space waiting for you and your spouse at the end of your perfect day. Our romantic bedrooms and spacious suites boast every conceivable luxury; including round the clock service, floor to ceiling windows, a breath-taking balcony or access to our spectacular roof garden. All packages include a complimentary bridal suite for the couple, and discounted rates are available for wedding guests.
