    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!

    A massive thank you to everyone who helped make our day so special.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Fantastic from start to finish

    Kimberley was a pleasure to work with. She was always kind and understanding. We had to rearrange our wedding twice, due to covid, and Kimberley made this a much easier process. We are grateful to have picked such a brilliant venue to work with through a turbulent time.
    The zoo was an incredible venue. Everything was seamless and we couldn’t have been happier with the day. All of our guests commented on the kind staff and the stunning building (mansion house) .
    Thank you for a wonderful day.

    An amazing day in a beautiful venue

    We had the most amazing day. The mansion house is beautiful and everyone had a wonderful experience at the zoo as well.
    Our wedding planner was so helpful and easy to communicate with, and really listened to what we wanted.
    On the day everyone was so friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make the day go as well as possible and the food was amazing.
    We couldn’t be happier with how our day went.
