The Wedding Wine Concierge takes care of all your wine needs and your wedding guests! Serving Edinburgh, Central Scotland, the Lothians, Borders and Aberdeenshire, we entertain your guests with a fun, engaging wine tasting while you have your photos taken.

Instead of the usual glass of fizz and small talk, we transform your drinks reception into an unforgettable, engaging wine tasting experience! This is the new way to do drinks receptions: It’s interactive. It’s relaxed. It gets people talking, laughing, and connecting from the very first sip.

If you are a food-loving couple and want something a little different, a little more memorable - and a lot more fun - The Wedding Wine Concierge can help. Your Wine Concierge is a qualified (DipWSET), professional Wine & Spirits Specialist with 20 years tasting & presenting experience in the UK & USA, so you know you are in safe hands.

The service works beauifully for smaller weddings of up to 50 guests but we can tailor the tasting to suit larger parties as well. We travel across Scotland and the north of England and are happy to work with all venues, caterers and private chefs.

No two events are the same! We’d love to hear about your plans and see how we can create something really special for you. Please get in touch to arrange a chat.

Elevating Weddings with The Wedding Wine Concierge Service

The Wedding Wine Concierge Service offers something truly distinctive for couples looking to elevate their celebration beyond the expected. Having worked with Joanne across numerous events, I can confidently say her expertise in wine is exceptional, but it’s her storytelling that sets her apart.

Joanne doesn’t simply serve wine; she creates an experience. Each bottle comes with a narrative that brings it to life, transporting guests to the vineyard itself. Whether describing the heritage of a family-run estate or the nuances of a particular vintage, she has a rare ability to turn a glass of wine into a moment of connection and discovery.

For weddings, this adds a layer of intimacy and originality that guests remember long after the day is over. It’s not just about what’s being poured, but how it’s presented, with warmth, depth, and a genuine passion.

For couples seeking something unique, personal, and memorable, The Wedding Wine Concierge Service is the perfect choice.

wonderful!

Joanne went over and above to understand our preferences for our celebratory occasion, in order to get the most out of the experience for both us and our guests. We had a wonderful time exploring the different wine pairings ahead of the event and a relaxed time on the day. I can highly recommend using this knowledgeable service to take the stress out of the day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
