Wedding Venues in Lothian & Borders

Thank you very much for helping organise what was probably the best day of my life. I absolutely LOVED every second of my wedding so thank you very much for all your help in the organization and on the day itself. We have received some lovely thank you letters from the guests who all mentioned what a superb setting it was, how lovely it all looked, how delicious the food was and how smoothly it all ran. I am so happy we chose to get married at Wedderburn.

My husband and I were married at Thirlestane Castle this past June. We first discovered Thirlestane Castle online and instantly contacted them to see what it would entail for an international couple to be married there. I quickly heard back from Rhona and worked with her over the months to create the best wedding day and venue we could have imagined. We stayed in the Lauderdale Apartment at the castle for our wedding and it was an exceptional place for us to get ready at, and enjoy our time after our wedding. Rhona made our day so easy and smooth and took care of absolutely everything. I highly recommend Thirlestane Castle for your wedding day to be absolutely perfect!

Dundas Castle is nothing short of extraordinary. The castle itself is breathtaking, an exquisite setting steeped in history, surrounded by truly idyllic grounds that create an unforgettable atmosphere from the moment you arrive. From the very beginning, the planning process was smooth and effortless. Kayleigh was an absolute pleasure to work, she was professional, attentive, and incredibly supportive throughout. Nothing ever felt complicated, and every detail was handled with care and efficiency. The morning of the wedding was just as special as the rest of the day. Getting ready in the exceptional rooms within the castle brought such a sense of calm and excitement, it was the perfect environment to take everything in and enjoy those quiet, meaningful moments before the celebrations began. The day itself exceeded all of our expectations. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team were consistently accommodating, helpful, and genuinely caring. It was clear that nothing was ever too much trouble, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. A special mention must go to Ellis also, who was outstanding on the day. Calm, organised, and wonderful to work with, Ellis ensured everything flowed perfectly and that we could simply enjoy every moment. The catering by Heritage Portfolio was exceptional, with every dish beautifully presented and delicious. In particular, Morvern was fantastic to work with, attentive, professional, and clearly passionate about delivering an incredible dining experience. Even now, our guests are still talking about the day and how amazing everything was, from the setting to the atmosphere to the food. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect venue or team, Dundas Castle truly delivered everything and more and we had the wedding of our dreams. Love Dan & Liv Wood

We finally had our dream wedding thanks to Norton House A massive thank you to the staff but espically to Jen our wedding coordinator and Jill who looked after us on our big day. From start to finish the process was easy and flawless. We met Jen back in 2024 when we booked and we kept in contact with Jen all the way through the process. Any questions we had Jen would answer for us or find the answer. I genuinely could not of done the wedding planning without Jen, she was honestly a life saver and so helpful through it all. Jill, on the day Jill looked after us all and she really did look after us! Everything went smoothly on the day and thats down to Jill and the help of the staff at Norton. Jill is incredible and we so lucky to have had her on our big day. All the little touches along the way made our build up to the day so special. Little things such as when we went for menu tasting the next morning at breakfast the staff asked how menu tasting was and when is the big day etc. P.s the breakfast is honestly the best breakfast ever! The food is incredible to point where all my guests had to tell us how amazing the food was! Everything about norton is amazing and magical! The grounds for our wedding pictures are spectacular. The rooms, oh my the rooms are incredible. The staff are all amazing i genuinely dont have a bad word to say about anyone. I honestly cant put into words how amazing it all is. Also if you have a dog and would like him or her at wedding do it and do it here!! We had our dog all day with us at wedding and it was best decision, such a dog friendly hotel, all the staff loved him and complimented on how good he was which yes even I was amazed I thought he would of been upset at times but no. Everyone treated him as a guest too. We cannot wait to return again, we will be back. Honestly, the best day, our dream came true. Thank you to Jen and Jill and all the staff at Norton Hotel We will see you all again soon. Mr and Mrs Bailey

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience we had at Duns Castle this past November. Our wedding ran flawlessly from start to finish, and both we and our guests had an unforgettable time -- memories we’ll carry with us forever. We chose this venue because it allowed us to select our own suppliers, and comfortably accommodate our 24 guests for four days, three nights. Andrea, the estate administrator, was able to provide suggestions and guidance throughout the planning process and was wonderful with communicating the final itinerary with our vendors so everything was seamless once we arrived. In addition to the activities we hosted at the estate (a private whisky tasting, and mini highland games on the lawn), our guests enjoyed roaming the grounds, hiking to Duns Law, and taking snowy strolls into town to visit the local restaurants and shops. If you’re looking for a venue that combines beautiful surroundings with outstanding service, and the flexibility to create a truly bespoke wedding experience, this is the place. Our time at Duns Castle was exceptional in every way, and we would recommend it wholeheartedly to any couple planning their wedding.

They Catred from the most amazing day. A wonderful Venue with alll the ammenities but most important was the outstanding quality of service given. We had a wedding with no problems or drama, just the most amazing day thanks to the wedding team at the Dalmahoy, they helped plan all events and details to a personal yet professional level. Value wise the wedding package was great however the rooms at the hotel were pricey if booked directly. That being said the hotel rooms and wedding suite were spotless. Catering here was outstanding and the function rooms for the wedding were perfect for our special day. The dalmahoy simply put is the best place to get Married in Edinburgh.

We don’t even know where to start in being able to thank the whole team at Hopetoun House in being a part of our most amazing wedding on Saturday! From the very first time we visited and were wowed driving up to the house, our whole experience of the venue and the people has been first class!! Working with Clare, Angela, Donald, Piers and the Hopetoun and Heritage teams has been professional, yet so very personal and we can not thank you all enough! Everything on our most special day ran like clockwork and the teams worked so hard to make sure ourselves and all of our guests had the best day ever! Hopetoun House as our wedding venue brought history, beauty, and the wow factor all together and combining these with the impeccable staff and service, gave us a wedding day that neither ourselves or our guests will ever forget! Thank You

We had the most wonderful wedding day at RCPE in November 2025. Our guests were absolutely blown away by the venue, so many people commented on how unique and beautiful it was, and several said it was a day they’ll always remember. The entire events team was incredibly accommodating and helpful from start to finish. Everything felt effortless thanks to their support, and we’re so grateful for how smoothly the whole day ran. Thank you to Hannah and the RCPE Events Team for giving us such a fantastic experience. We couldn’t have wished for a better venue for our wedding!
