DoubleTree by Hilton Edinburgh City Centre

The Skybar team were very accommodating for us during our wedding planning process. We chose our date whilst out of the country for 12 months and attended a wedding open day when we returned to the UK. From day 1 Kimberley was so helpful, no question was too silly and all questions were responded to quickly which made planning our big day feel more relaxed for us. We brought our own flowers and decor and asked for the wedding to be decorated how they wish and the team set up the room beautifully. The day ran smoothly with no bumps at all and everyone else on the team were very professional. The food we tried on our tasting day was delicious and it was no different on the day and multiple people told us how much they enjoyed their meal. I would absolutely recommend a wedding day at the Skybar, the team are great, the service provided was absolutely on point and the view speaks for itself!

Kimberley, Euan and all at Skybar are ✨️✨️

We don't even know where to begin to say thank you for the most incredible day on Saturday. Everything went like clockwork as it did throughout the whole process from initial enquiry to fixing the botched cake 🤣 (seriously so appreciative of this) you kept everything seamless which kept us chilled too.

BBQ went down a treat as did the bacon rolls. All guests commented on the breathtaking views and vibes of the place.

Truly had the best time you guys are amazing! ❤️

Thank you so much! Cannot recommend highly enough

Having our wedding at the Skybar was absolutely AMAZING! From the team, to the space, to the view, everything was nothing short of incredible. We were lucky to have Kimberley as our wedding organiser for the day, and she was amazing. Super accommodating from the beginning, with helping us book our day. Our wedding was a location wedding for us, so our initial tour was over Zoom and the venue did everything they could to accommodate that, which was incredible.

The service you recieve is impeccable.
The space is wonderful, I mean the view, we were lucky to have a pure blue sky day, and everyone said that the view alone made the day, and it did for us too. We came away with not only magical memories but photos to die for.

Kimberley and the team are fabulous, bringing our day together, they did a fabulous job and we so grateful.

The food and drinks is 10/10, so yummy and filling!

I cannot say anything negative about this venue! Honestly it was the best place to get married and we are so incredibly grateful for everything that was done for us.

From the very first open day visit, to our final details meeting we have been nothing but impressed with our experience at the Skybar Edinburgh. It had everything we were looking for in a wedding day that was unique to us.

We had an intimate wedding ceremony at the City Chambers Edinburgh with 16 family members in the afternoon, then headed over to the Skybar around 3:30. We had a beautiful spread of sandwiches and wraps put on for us arriving as we wanted a light bite before the night time event. The service at the bar was excellent, we were impressed especially with the lager as many of our guests commented how good a pint it was!! Also a great aperol spritz for me :)
Following this, we celebrated with our extended family and friends from 5pm onwards! We wanted this celebration to feel very much like a wedding and have all the factors of your usual post ceremony events, canopies, speeches, cake cutting and first dance.
The events manager Kimberley answered any of my mad questions and requests efficiently! She made our vision come to life and arranged all the wee details to perfection. Our master of ceremonies Oscar was excellent on the day with helping us keep to timings and announcing all the events of the night. I would book this again in a heartbeat and would recommend having any celebration here!

The support & professionalism shown by the Hilton staff from our initial engagement at the wedding open day through until the actual event was second to none. Kimberley Hicks provided ongoing updates and reassurance throughout the whole process especially when we needed it. The reception staff, Euan the wedding master of ceremonies and manager Andres ensured our every needs were met during the wedding weekend.

After our original venue cancelled on us 5 months before our date, Kimberley and her team stepped up to provide us with an amazing package with our chosen date still available.

I truly cannot fault the events staff for how they ran the day and although I had given a rough guide for my decor, Kimberley, Euan and the rest of the team made sure it looked even better by adding little touches and bringing everything together.

As a bride, I felt incredibly supported and knew when and where to be, with little reminders of where to hold my bouquet which really helped. This support was also extended to my maid of honour which we both really appreciated.

Euan also helped me with a dress emergency when my fabric wouldn't steam out the creases, it took him a good 20 minutes to get these out and truly saved the day!

The food and service were wonderful, we felt the pace of our wedding was very relaxed and there was no rushing.

The venue itself is stunning with wonderful views which changed over the course of the day from day to night.

Although attached to the hotel, this venue really is its own special place, and we'll remember it for years to come!

We got married here last weekend, from the initial enquiry right through to the day - the team at the sky bar were AMAZING.

Kimberley was a superstar, assisted us with every detail and her communication was excellent.
She was there on hand for every email and phone call, every meeting and was just the most kind and caring person.

Ewan was our master of ceremonies, he was absolutely brilliant and had the day working like clockwork. He created such a lovely atmosphere for our guests and kept us calm throughout the day.

We are so grateful to have both Kimberley and Ewan as such big parts of our day, they made the whole wedding planning process so enjoyable and supported us so well.

The food was also incredible, every single guest commented on how good it was!!


Thanks again team, we love and appreciate you so much!

We had our wedding here on Saturday 1st June 2024 and it was absolutely amazing. The service we received from Alba and the team leading up to and on the day was fantastic. Alba was a dream to plan our wedding with, so chilled yet very professional and taking away any worries or stress I had! The venue is stunning so bright with amazing views of Edinburgh castle and beyond. The whole day ran so smoothly, and I highly recommend using their in house DJ as he was so good and really lovely too! All our guests had an amazing time. Personally I love that it’s in the city centre and that we can always visit easily for anniversaries etc as it’s sometimes open to public for drinks/brunch. We stayed in the Hilton hotel as well which was beautiful too. Honestly can’t recommend this venue enough!!

We got married in April, and the whole experience was fabulous, best day ever and nothing amiss☺️
From start to finish the communication was on point- and organising the day was made a breeze even though we were organising it from England.
Alba was a delight and couldn't have been more helpful- at every turn she walked us through every question we had (there were a lot) and made the whole organisation simple and efficient!
The decor was spot on, the package was perfect and cost effective!
Euan was our master of ceremony for the day and made us feel so at ease , walking us through every aspect of our day and kept us cool with his pleasant smile and calming presence.
Perfect team and a perfect venue!

I had originally dealt with Kimberley who was fantastic and answered all my millions of questions with ease and then with Alba who took over and continued doing an amazing job with helping me plan the wedding.
My bridal party got ready in the ‘Hawthorn Suite’ in the conference centre which was spacious with plenty of lighting and Alba very kindly brought us breakfast which was really good - thank goodness she did as I that was the only proper food I managed the whole day 🙈😂.
The venue is stunning, the view of Edinburgh Castle and the rest of the city is breathtaking!
The room is smaller than a lot of venues but it was perfect for us! We had 81 day guests with 8 round tables plus the top table which fitted absolutely fine and then around 110 night guests, where we kept a few round tables with additional Skybar high tables. The room itself was clean and fresh. Guests need to come up using the elevator, which is on the smaller side and had to queue up to get into the lift which may be seen as a downside. I’ve not actually spoken to guests about it so it may have been fine and I suppose allowed people to mingle! There is the option to walk up the stairs as well if they want to 😂.
I didn’t really manage to eat much food (my own fault) - canapés/ meal/ evening buffet but I’ve been told it was good, well cooked and plenty of it!
All the staff we dealt with were great and included Alba, Ewan and plenty of other people who made the day go perfectly.
The balcony shuts at 22:00 which meant smokers need to go out onto the street which could mean you could lose a few guests to the nightlife outside 😂😂.
The bar staff were quick and efficient and from what I had seen didn’t ever have a really long queue. There could be more drinks options in our opinion and weren’t able to supply Diet Coke - only Pepsi brand even though we were willing to pay extra for this.
My bridal party and myself stayed the night before the wedding at the Doubletree which is the hotel connected to the Skybar. The rooms were lovely, clean and my room (314) was very spacious and perfect size for us all to get dressed! Myself and my husband stayed in the honeymoon suite the night of the wedding (405) which was a beautiful suite with fab views. If you’re wanting a stress free wedding in the center of Edinburgh you should definitely consider the Skybar!

Couldn’t be happier with how beautifully everything was taken care of! Kimberly was so helpful with my million questions and Euan set everything up perfectly and kept the day running smoothly. It was a fantastic day full of love and laughter!

We had to pull our wedding forward so had less than 12 weeks from booking our wedding to walking down the aisle at Skybar. From the minute we enquired about booking staff were supportive and couldn’t do enough for us. On the day of the wedding it was totally faultless, staff were so attentive to us all, meeting all of the needs of the guests and wedding party. I cannot put into words how much I would recommend that people would get married here, the day ran smoothly and both myself and husband couldn’t believe how it ran with no hiccups considering the short amount of time we had to plan. The food was delicious and were options for meeting dietary requirements which were very enjoyable too. The venue in itself is decorated tastefully and with the view of the castle it sells itself. We got married on a rainy day in February- a classic Edinburgh day and even although, the venue still looked stunning. The option is there to use their centre pieces which is great as it’s one less thing to worry about, the staff set the venue up beautifully and swiftly in between ceremony, meal and evening. If I have to say one thing that stood out for us the most is the staff, they played a huge part in our wedding and deserve the recognition for the job they do! If we could do it all over again we wouldn’t change anything about the day!

My son got married here, he picked it for the views of the castle. Kimberley was great when we enquired about the venue, she was always willing to answer our many questions throughout and up until the big day The day was stunning, everything was so well organised, the set up was fantastic, the food (we had a BBQ) was amazing, everything we hoped for. The staff throughout the day were very accommodating, cannot fault anything about the day, everybody had a great time.

Kimberly and the entire team were exemplary
Quotes of the day itself
“ of course “ “ that’s no problem “ “ leave that with me “
I don’t have adequate words to articulate how wonderful our experience was from initial view to support will planking even down to pianist cancelling day before - Kimberley found us a solution
Literally the best day ever !!

Kimberly and the entire staff were absolutely amazing. We had a uniquely stressful situation, with planning the wedding abroad, and waiting for a visa to arrive last minute. They were so understanding, and helpful through the whole process. Kimberly worked with the vendors, and made sure everything went smoothly. We did not have to worry about anything on the wedding day, as they had everything handled, and were able to truly enjoy the day. Everything turned out better than we could have ever imagined. It was the perfect day, with the most beautiful view, and we are so thankful.
