Isobel Sent on 27/06/2026A wonderful very happy day in an amazing historic and beautiful location
I have nothing but praise and gratitude for the team at Riddles Court. They were patient, fun, thoughtful, supportive and we felt they genuinely cared about our happiness above all else. They were very flexible, we could have the day exactly as we wished, when timescales slipped they were unfazed and kept everything running seamlessly. Sophie, Nikola and Leo are lovely people who put every effort into making our day perfect. There’s nothing I would change! Our registrar, Liz, was wonderful, calming, funny, kind and serious where necessary, a very special lady. The catering team from Howies, led by Fiona were fabulous, they smiled throughout the day and couldn’t have been more professional or helpful. The food was amazing, everyone said so! The band, Top Table from Fife were also amazing, great music and a very happy atmosphere. Thank you everyone for making our day such a wonderful experience from start to finish! -

Hughes Wedding 18/06/26 - Ceremony and Drinks
My husband and I got married at Riddles Court last week. We had a drinks reception followed by our ceremony here. This venue is absolutely beautiful and makes for gorgeous photos! The courtyard and building exterior are stunning and the Geddes Suite inside was the perfect space for our ceremony. In particular, the ceiling is stunning!
Leo, our wedding coordinator, really helped our day run smoothly and was great at replying to emails promptly in the lead up to our big day. It’s clear he has experience in this field and his calmness, organisation and flexibility were much appreciated.
On the day, there were 2 other staff members, who we didn’t get the names of, helping Leo. Once the day was over, we were informed by several family members that these two ladies had been rude/unhelpful.
One told the mother of the groom to shoosh because another room in the venue was booked for a meeting. Another was reluctant to pour drinks that we had paid corkage fee for, resulting in us coming home with 7 unopened bottles of Prosecco. This lady claimed she didn’t know how many bottles we had brought. She was also reluctant to get an elderly guest, who was struggling to stand, a chair and had to asked twice after saying no at first.
Despite this, the groom and I were completely unaware of these issues on the day and overall, we had the most amazing time here and, as previously mentioned, this is a truly stunning venue in the heart of beautiful Edinburgh.

Mary-Elizabeth Sent on 11/07/2024Fantastic venue
My husband and I held our 35-guest wedding afternoon and dinner reception and then 60-strong evening ceilidh at Riddle’s Court. We have been so delighted during the process of booking the wedding. Taylah made things so easy and seamless from the start. All our (many!) questions were answered comprehensively and professionally. The response time was so fast and every problem we encountered (at one point we struggled with a caterer) and this was easily fixed with a recommendation to Culinarians who excellent with amazing food on the day. Riddle’s court were so accommodating with the amount of DIY decor we brought and let us set this up the day prior to the wedding which really helped. They also had some excellent wedding decor in their inventory that we made the most out of. We cannot recommend riddle’s court highly enough- we had the BEST wedding and it was such good value. Thanks Taylah (and Hope for on the day coordination)!Riddle's Court's reply:
Hi Mary-Elizabeth and David,
We were so honoured to be apart of your special day and appreciate such kind words. You're welcome back to Riddle's Court anytime!
Best wishes always,
The Riddle's Court Team

Sarah Sent on 24/06/2022A beautiful hidden gem of a venue
We had our Art Deco inspired wedding in June 2022 at Riddle's Court for 60 day/80 evening guests. It was everything that we could have imagined and more! The historic venue itself is truly stunning and unique, it tied in perfectly with the vintage feel of our wedding.
It was such a pleasure having Gail, Kirsty, Erin and the rest of the Riddle's Court team coordinate and work on our big day from the initial visit and planning stages, all the way through to the on-the-day event management.
Initially, our wedding had some early set-backs due to the pandemic, but Gail was very understanding and accommodating and supported us fully in our endeavours to get things back-on-track despite the several postponements.
The day itself went very seamlessly and was relaxed. The team were on hand to deal with any minor issues - no ask or query ever felt too much.
Our guests commented on what a beautiful day it was and everyone had a fantastic time. Thanks again to Riddle's Court for giving me the wedding of my dreams! -

Louise Sent on 08/06/2022A beautiful venue
We had our wedding reception at Riddles Court in April 2022. From the beginning of planning we were always drawn to Riddles Court. It is such a beautiful and unique building hidden away off the Royal Mile. Gail, Jenna and the rest of the team were fantastic throughout planning and on the day and thanks to them we had a brilliant wedding reception!Riddle's Court's reply:
Louise , it was such a great day. As for your first dance, we'll never forget it - beautiful! Thanks for choosing Riddle's Court . We're looking forward to seeing your pics.

Lauren Sent on 06/06/2022Gorgeous Historic Venue with Impeccable Service
Our wedding for around 30 people at Riddle’s Court was beyond what we could have ever imagined. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and unique and is centrally located off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Gail and her team created a detailed schedule, handled all set-up, and collaborated with our coordinator seamlessly to make sure our guests felt welcomed and everything ran smoothly. We felt so cared for. We would highly recommend Riddle’s Court to anyone!Riddle's Court's reply:
Hi Lauren,
It was lovely to finally meet you all. We're so glad your experience at Riddle's Court met all expectations.
We hope your guests enjoyed being piped down The Royal Mile to Wedgewood and that everyone left with fond memories of their time here in Edinburgh.
