FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Old Dr Bells Baths?
That is a very hard question, as every couple we have had, have been great to work with and have brought their individual vision to our venue.
One that we all remember fondly would be the wedding of Sarah and Kenny, who got married with us last October. They were a truly fab couple from start to finish; very down to earth and laid back. The couple threw in some surprises for their guests, including an improv group and late night pizza from Mato. The whole day was great fun, with such a feel-good vibe and all of their guests were lovely.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
My favourite personal touch was at the wedding of Les and Dani. Dani sadly lost her papa just before the wedding so they made sure too honour his memory. They had asked for a seat to be kept out for him and his favourite hat was placed on the seat for the day. Les and Dani also added a nod to their history and had a special post ceremony cocktail, the same that they had from the bar where they met.
Describe The Old Dr Bells Baths in 5 adjectives
Cool. Contemporary. Intimate. Metropolitan. Timeless.
Where’s the best photo spot at The Old Dr Bells Baths?
This is a bit of a weird one but... our loos get all the action. We're not sure whether it's the amazing wallpaper or just the fact that the mirrors are huge, but they must be up there with Circus Lane as one of the most photographed places in Edinburgh.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Old Dr Bells Baths?
Confidentiality is our middle name... ;)
What’s your favourite canapé?
We have so many delicious canapes here at Dr Bell's. Our chef is such an absolute sensation that we promise, by the end of your wedding you won't be able to pick a favourite canape either.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
A bit of cheese! Midnight is the perfect time to crack out your absolute most 'guilty pleasure' song. Put a smile on the face of your other half with the silliest song that you both love... you know the one.
What is The Old Dr Bells Baths most unique feature?
Edinburgh is full of historical buildings, ours is the only fully contemporary wedding interior. We still have plenty of original features but overall, our look is paired back and pliable. No funky curtains, no wacky carpets, no artex ceilings! We are blank-canvas waiting to be painted with your vibrant impressions.
What part of your business are you most proud of?
Our venue is inclusive and unpretentious. We offer all the fun and none of the fuss to our highly varied clientele. We appreciate the unique nature of your lively love story and we work incredibly hard to make sure that you get the celebration you deserve.
