Marmalade Events is an Edinburgh-based wedding planning, décor and styling studio, shaping intimate celebrations across Scotland. From the first spark of an idea to the final moment, they’re there to bring it all to life with you. Focusing on celebrations of under 100 guests, they place atmosphere and the story behind each day at the heart of what they create.

Beyond the plans and timelines, what matters most is that the wedding journey feels enjoyable and effortless. They offer a range of services to support couples at every stage, from design-led elements through to full planning, partial support and on-the-day coordination.

Meet the Team:

Honor and Alexandra McAuly-Brand are sisters, raised in the Scottish Highlands, who bring together a natural balance of structure and creativity.

Honor, the wedding planner, naturally leans towards planning, organisation and logistics. With a background in event planning, she brings a strong eye for detail and a calm, organised approach, ensuring every element is taken care of.

Alex, the wedding stylist, brings a considered, design-led approach to styling. Drawing on her background in architecture, graphic design and art, she creates cohesive, thoughtfully curated spaces that feel personal to each couple and their story.

Wedding Services:

~ On-the-Day Coordination

The biggest thing couples often don’t anticipate isn’t the schedule; it’s how hard it can be to stay present on the day itself. Without someone managing all the moving parts, you can quickly become the go-to person for every question. That’s where we come in. With our experienced support, we ensure everything comes together exactly as envisioned. We take that weight off your shoulders, manage suppliers, oversee logistics, and handle any behind-the-scenes details. Allowing you to stay in the moment, and truly experience your celebration... not manage it.

~ Partial Planning and Coordination

With so many moving parts, on top of busy lives, feeling overwhelmed or stuck is completely normal. This is where having experienced support makes all the difference.

Wherever you are in the process, we step in to organise and complete the remaining elements, bringing everything together and giving you the structure to move forward with confidence. We ease the pressure, share the load, and fill in the gaps, bringing everything back into focus and ensuring both the planning process and your wedding day feel as enjoyable as they should.

~ Full Planning and Coordination

Whether you’ve been dreaming about your wedding for years, or the idea of planning something so significant feels a little overwhelming, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Working closely with you, we guide you step by step through every stage of your wedding, from the initial concept and design through to supplier sourcing, management, and delivery on the day. We shape a celebration that feels exactly as you envisioned it, easing the demands of planning and creating a journey that is enjoyable.


Design Services:

~ Bespoke Venue Design

This is not a one size fits all. We approach every celebration individually, taking the time to understand your ideas, inspiration, and the atmosphere you wish to create.

Every venue, guest count, design vision, and level of styling is entirely unique. Whether you are looking for subtle refinement or a full venue transformation, we work collaboratively to create a design that feels completely bespoke to you.

~ Design Styling & Extras

The smallest details often leave the greatest impression.

Whether you envision understated elegance or something more expressive and immersive, we create bespoke stationery and styling elements that are rooted in your story. From invitations and save the dates to welcome signage, table plans, and place cards, each element is carefully considered and entirely your own.

~ Venue Set up & Styling Support

Styled by you, set up by us. Designed for couples who have sourced or created their own décor, and wish for trusted hands to bring it all together on the day. We understand how much time, creativity, and care goes into curating the aesthetic of your day, and our role is to honour that effort by ensuring everything is styled exactly as you envisioned.


If you feel we might be the right fit for you, we would love to hear from you.

Our dream wedding brought to life

Honor and Alex did the most incredible job decorating our wedding venue. We were absolutely blown away when we walked in, they brought our vision to life perfectly, and every little detail was even more beautiful than we had imagined.

They were so lovely to work with from start to finish, professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made the whole process completely stress-free.

We can't thank them enough for making our wedding day look so magical. We would recommend Honor and Alex to anyone looking for exceptional venue styling. Thank you both for making our day so unforgettable!

Highly Recommend!

We had the absolute pleasure of attending Erin & Ali's Wedding, where Marmalade Events were involved behind the scenes and we honestly could not recommend them more highly!!

From the moment we arrived, it was clear to everyone just how much care and attention had gone into every little detail... The venue looked absolutely beautiful, everything was perfectly in place and the whole space just felt really warm & welcoming.

In conversations with Erin beforehand, I know she was feeling quite worried about trying to juggle getting ready and setting up the venue. Marmalade Events took that huge weight off her shoulders, allowing Erin the relaxed morning that she deserved, and it was so special seeing her walk into the finished room for the first time! Everything had honestly been brought together so beautifully and exactly as the couple had imagined.

If you're looking for a team who genuinely care about the finer details and will help your day come seamlessly together, I'd highly, highly recommend Marmalade Events. Thank you both so much, you really did play such a huge part in creating such a special atmosphere and it truly didn't go unnoticed!

Thank you so much

They listened carefully to what we wanted and executed everything perfectly on the day. From the first ideas to the final touches, everything was handled with so much care, creativity and attention to detail. I was able to relax and enjoy every second knowing they had it all covered.

If you’re thinking of booking them then just know that you will be in the safest hands!

Couldn't have asked for more

I honestly couldn’t have asked for more from Honor and Alex. They went above and beyond to create the most beautiful decor for our wedding in September and completely brought our vision to life. Making sure that our day was everything we wanted it to be & more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
