Otterly fabulous
From start to finish the whole experience was without compare. The helpfulness of all the staff was above and beyond from seeing the venue, choosing the food to the actual day. Tailoring the day to our desires and needs never seemed too much of a hassle. Everything was well prepare and they happily assisted us put our final personal touches. The day was organised and ran smoothly leaving us relaxed and able to enjoy our time. The food was great and everyone commented that it was the best wedding food they'd had. Our guests loved being able to go round the zoo whilst we had photos taken. This was a fun alternative to normal wedding entertainment.
Overall the venue is beautiful, the staff were incredible, we had the perfect day and it will always hold the most incredible memories for us. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Mansion House, Edinburgh Zoo.From start to finish the whole experience was without compare.

Kimberley was so helpful with all the decisions and questions we had. She made it a smooth process from start to finish, as well as putting us in touch with external suppliers and recommending photographers.
On the day of and day before the wedding, Ben made us feel so relaxed by coordinating the full event so we could enjoy it to the fullest.Kimberley was so helpful with all the decisions and questions we had.

Amazing planning and on-the-day coordination from a fabulous team at Mansion House!
The zoo was the perfect venue for us and I'm sure for lots of couples, there were so many great things that it's hard to put it all into one review!
The ceremony room is beautiful, the location was perfect for us, as it is such an easy venue for guests to park at or get public transport to and from. We loved the fact that we could both get ready in rooms within the venue itself - couples can easily avoid each other if they wanted to but we loved the option to spend some time together in the morning whilst also having plenty of space to get ready. The room for "the boys" is a really special library, and "the girls" have a lovely bright room which is ideal for hair and make-up: getting ready to the sounds of monkeys in the early morning was pretty special!
The venue combined so many of the key elements we were looking for - a traditional venue (with a twist!). We had guests with accessibility requirements which the venue worked with us to accommodate with ease. The option for our guests to explore the zoo during the reception and whilst we had our photos taken meant that everyone was kept well entertained in what can otherwise be a "slower" time.
The Mansion House events team were so accommodating and helpful in the lead up to and on the day itself - we can only thank them for all of their support, kindness, and flexibility which helped everything go smoothly on the day. The staff were consistently professional and personable, and we received lots of compliments on the food as well!

Uniquely Amazing
Take an original Georgian era Mansion House, hidden in the heart of one of Scotland's most famous tourist attractions. Add that central location, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland's collection of animals, some highly attentive staff and a hugely talented kitchen team and you have an exclusive-use venue which is guaranteed to produce the perfect day for the happy couple. Things we loved: accessible from local, national and international perspectives; parking provision and a hotel less than 100m walk away.. Unique and unusual. A beautiful setting with dozens of photo opportunities. Dedicated rooms for the Bridal party and Groomsmen, with lots of break-out areas and places for catch-ups and conversations. Guests have open access to the Zoo, which gives a great bit of down-time for the Bride and Groom to have photos and relax while their guests are entertained!Take an original Georgian era Mansion House, hidden in the heart of one of Scotland's most famous tourist attractions.

Fantastic wedding venue
We had a really great wedding at Mansion House. It was the perfect venue for us, for both the ceremony and reception, lovely rooms to get ready in, and much of the organisation and all the food included in the price. The communication was great in the run up to the wedding, with all questions answered quickly, and on the day the staff were really friendly, polite and knew exactly where me and the groom were supposed to be when, which was really helpful! Lots of our guests commented on how great the food was, and the 9pm bacon rolls were a big hit. Would definitely recommend Mansion House as a lovely place to get married.We had a really great wedding at Mansion House.

Fantastic venue
A beautiful venue with a variety of packages to suit all budgets and wedding sizes. Our wedding coordinator (Kimberley) was fantastic. She made all the planning and organizing in the lead up to our wedding straightforward and exciting. She was always on hand to help with any questions/changes we had, nothing was ever a problem and communication was excellent throughout.
On the day itself, the venue looked beautiful and all the catering staff were so friendly and helpful from start to finish. Their professionalism, warmth and efficiency was impressive. We had some guests with mobility issues and others with special dietary requirements and all were catered to throughout the whole day/evening with ease. The meal we had was delicious and all our guests as well as us (the happy couple) thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would highly recommend Edinburgh Zoo/Mansion house to anyone looking for a wedding venue.A beautiful venue with a variety of packages to suit all budgets and wedding sizes.

Incredible wedding
We got married at Edinburgh Zoo in July 2021, after having to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. The events coordinators were so accommodating and helped us find a new date as well as signposting suppliers when we lost a couple due to having to move the wedding. We had the most incredible wedding day, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The Mansion House is a hidden gem within the zoo itself and is beautifully decorated. All of our guests commented about what an amazing setting it was for a wedding and enjoyed being able to explore the zoo whilst we were having photos taken. If you’re looking for an unusual wedding venue that’s good value for money and will give you a unique experience, definitely check out Edinburgh Zoo.We got married at Edinburgh Zoo in July 2021, after having to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic.

The Most Perfect Day!
We can't thank the staff at The Mansion House at Edinburgh Zoo enough.
From start to finish the day was perfect and everything went according to plan. Talking about planning, Kimberley was amazing and was always on hand before the big day to chat about what we wanted from food to timings. There wasn't anything that couldn't be done.
We got lucky with the weather on our day so managed to get lots of gorgeous photos of the grounds and even if it were raining there was still lots of amazing photo opportunities inside the venue - particularly the main ceremony room - which was stunning!
If you are thinking about having a wedding at the venue, go ahead and book as you won't be disappointed!We can't thank the staff at The Mansion House at Edinburgh Zoo enough.
