Description

There are few wedding venues in Edinburgh promising such a range of choice. Step through the 174-year-old Georgian archway at the entrance to the hotel, once home to the Lady Glenorchy Church, and instantly pass into a bright and contemporary space. Combined with the rooftop garden, and different rooms and pergolas to undertake your vows, and you have one of the most unique and flexible wedding venues in the city. As a fully licenced venue, we can host your wedding ceremony, not just the party. We are able to offer a variety of options for your wedding ceremony in Edinburgh. Our two-acre roof garden is a popular choice. Guests can gather on our green lawn and watch you exchange vows under our flower-decked pergola, or you can tie the knot in more intimate settings on a terrace overlooking the garden. Our stylish indoor spaces are also available, including the Calton Suite, The Brasserie and The Boardroom, which is popular for intimate weddings, housed behind the original church window out of which The Glasshouse Hotel was created. Ceremonies are available as part of a full wedding package, or as a standalone service. Once the formal part of your day is completed with the making of your vows, celebrate the start of married life at The Glasshouse with a luxury wedding reception. We can work with you to ensure that every detail, from decora, menus and entertainment are delivered to your exacting standards.

The Glasshouse
From the moment we visited the hotel, we knew that it was our venue! The packages in the brochure were good, but we wanted to create our very own special day, Natalie created a package for specially for us and included everything we wanted. The day went too quick, it seems like such a blur! The Glasshouse is a beautiful venue, the staff are fantastic. A big thank you to Natalie for making our day perfect

Our wedding at the glasshouse
Staff on the day were great, they could not do enough to help our guests while we were getting photos taken (which took a bit longer due to the rain!) Apart from the weather, our day was great, the carlton suite has beautiful views and the meal was lovely. Look forward to going back for our anniversary

Our day
It was exactly what we wanted, simple, elegant and stress free. Our ceremony was in the Henderson Gallery, followed by a small get together in the Observatory, the food was wonderful and we particularly enjoyed the champagne. Beautiful hotel, look forward to visiting again soon

Hi Natalie & Judy, we have just returned from honeymoon and wanted to get in touch with you. Speaking to all of our family and friends, everyone enjoyed our wedding and could not fault the glasshouse. Geoff and I cannot thank you enough for all your guidance during our planning! We would have been lost without you or definitely would have forgotten something! Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Exactly what we hoped for and more
Our wedding at the Glasshouse was perfect from start to finish! the weather was great, amazing food and we could not have asked for more! Natalie had been in contact with my parents to arrange a few surprises throughout the day - My dad being the biggest one! He was not going to be able to make our wedding due to working overseas but was just there on the day (very teary moment) Natalie was a dream to deal with, nothing was too much trouble for her. Everything was seamless on the day, my only complaint was that the day went too quickly! Thanks so much Natalie for making our day as special as it was xx Andreas and Alex

Amazing Venue
Andrew and I chose the glasshouse for our wedding venue, we loved the church front but the garden was the biggest deal breaker for us! Living in Scotland you can never pick the weather, we had a rainy start to the day, but managed to have our ceremony outside and the sun came out just as we were walking back down the aisle! The food was delicious, the evening band were great (think her name was Amy) so happy we booked the glasshouse. The staff were so helpful leading up to our big day and on the day!

Our wedding
Hi Natalie, just wanted to write to express our thanks for all your hard work on our wedding. You have been so amazing to deal with (apologies about my meltdown moments) You told us from day one that our special day would be perfect and memorable, and it was just that. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day xx

Our Daughters wedding
Our Daughter chose to get married at the glasshouse. My husband and I had spoken to Natalie by emails leading up to the big day. We only met her the day before the wedding (as we live in London) Natalie was a pleasure to deal with, she had everything under control, everything was covered, all we had to do was turn up. The day ran perfectly from start to finish our guests enjoyed the food and dancing, although there were a few fuzzy heads the next morning at breakfast! This is a very unique venue in the heart of Edinburgh.
