Nadia Sent on 03/08/2026The best (wedding related) choice we ever made
We recently celebrated our wedding at the Harbour Chapel, and we’re so glad we chose it. We had the most perfect day – we couldn’t have asked for anything better.
We completely fell in love with the stunning and unique venue (and the Dunbar battery nearby) at the open day, and Victoria and team were so warm, attentive and friendly from the very beginning, which cinched the deal for us.
Wedding planning can be stressful, but Victoria was incredible throughout – she was always so patient, kind and always had a solution for everything. She genuinely went above and beyond to make sure our needs and wants were met and having her on board really took a weight off my mind.
And on the day itself, Victoria and her team were phenomenal. They made everything run smoothly, allowing us to be fully relaxed and present.
…and the food (one of the most important things for us), was beyond amazing. Lots of praise from family and friends on this – to quote my brother “I felt like woodland satyr eating from a woodland cornucopia’, which was an accurate description of the cheese and charcuterie board Kris so wonderfully put together.
We cannot thank Victoria and team enough for their support and service throughout and especially on the day. They made everything feel easy and gave us the most wonderful day that was better than we could have imagined.
If you want an elevated, unique wedding experience, that feels incredibly personal and intimate, and run by a fantastic team, with excellent food, then we highly, highly recommend the Harbour Chapel for your special day.The Harbour Chapel's reply:
Wow... what an incredible review! Thank you both so much for taking the time to write such kind and thoughtful words.
Congratulations again on your marriage! You were an absolute dream couple to work with from the very beginning, and it was such a pleasure helping you plan your wedding day. Seeing everything come together so perfectly was incredibly special, and your wonderful family and friends made the day even more memorable. We genuinely loved every minute.
Reading reviews like yours means more than we can put into words. As a small, independent venue, we pour our hearts into every wedding, so knowing that the little details, extra effort and personal touches made such a difference is the greatest compliment we could receive. It reminds us exactly why we love doing what we do.
We'll be sure to share your lovely feedback with the whole team, as everyone played a part in making your day so special.
We really hope you'll come back and visit us one day. Once you've been married at The Harbour Chapel, it will always hold a special place in your story, and you'll always be welcome here as friends.
Thank you again for choosing us from all the beautiful venues you could have celebrated in. It was a genuine privilege to be part of your wedding day, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness and wonderful adventures together.

Absolutely perfect wedding venue. We could not have been happier with every aspect of our wedding day- from the support we got from Victoria with planning, to the amazing team on the day. Everything was handled so professionally. Such a beautiful venue. Thank you! -

Hannah Sent on 22/09/2026Wedding 12/9/26 - 5* review for the most perfect day!
Thank you so so much for everything Victoria and the team at The Harbour Chapel have done for us. You truly made our wedding day the most perfect day it could be. From the moment we stepped in the chapel and met Victoria, we just knew it was where we wanted to get married. It is so beautiful, and we are so happy we were able to get married outside at the Battery, again so beautiful! Thank you so much for the calmness and thoughtfulness throughout the planning process and our wedding day. Victoria made it so enjoyable, and we so wish we could experience the day again but we have the happiest memories to last us a lifetime. All our guests commented how beautiful the chapel was. Thank you for everything. You made our day so special! Also a big shout out to The Good Table Catering Co for the most delicious wedding breakfast. Kris and her kitchen team were amazing! The food was so perfect, and everyone left very happy and full - the best!
All the best and lots of love,

Mr & Mrs Kelly
Wow what a review! You have to give yourself a pat on the back too, your day was flawlessly organised (even down the the little stones you provided to ensure your decorations didn't get blown away in the wind - they proved very handy!), and I'm so glad you are happy with the way we delivered your vision for you on the day. We pushed on with your outdoor wedding plans and it all worked out perfectly in the end. You, your now husband, and your family were such a joy to work with and we wish you every happiness for the future. On behalf of myself and the whole team at The Harbour Chapel, Thank you for choosing us to celebrate this most special day with you x

George Sent on 07/06/2026Celebration for our 20th wedding anniversary, a 70th birthday and a personal milestone.
We recently had a party at the Harbour Chapel to celebrate a birthday, a wedding anniversary and a personal milestone. We are a same-sex couple and felt very welcome which unfortunately is not always the case for gay couples. Victoria was wonderful through the whole planning process and at the celebration. She was patient and diplomatic with us and made many great suggestions that enhanced the party. She had contacts with a band, a caterer and a cake-maker who all provided excellent food and entertainment. Her staff were friendly and efficient and helped make the evening very successful. The venue is historic, beautiful and suitable for both celebratory and solemn events. All the guests enjoyed themselves and the feedback was very positive. All in all I can wholeheartedly recommend The Harbour Chapel for celebrations of all types.
Thank you Victoria for helping us have a wonderful evening.The Harbour Chapel's reply:
Thank you for your wonderful review and more importantly choosing our venue for this most special celebration. I think it's fair to say that we all (yes staff included) had a fabulous time with you and your guests, and we were delighted to welcome you. We keep in touch with many of our past couples, and I am sure our paths will cross again soon. Your dedicated support for our venue is so kind . . .so until next time thank you and all the best!

Annabel Sent on 31/12/2025Perfect Day in Dunbar
We visited The Harbour Chapel for an evening event and knew then this was our prefect wedding venue. After our meeting to view and chat our plan we booked our wedding for 2nd August 2025.
The Harbour Chapel was local to my family and a destination for Davids to come to Scotland. The atmosphere and especially the stained glass windows made the place feel special for us.
Before the wedding, and on the day itself, the team looked after us so well. We wanted special and having such a locally supported wedding for produce, suppliers, photographer and catering. It really fitted our requirements.
Some of our most memorable moments were the cake doing its own thing, the team handled this with a plume, and helped to get it cut earlier than planned and the sheer joy and emotion that the day created.
Our sincere thanks go to the whole team at The Harbour Chapel and would absolutely recommend this beautiful venue to leave you with that feeling and memories of a prefect day.
The Harbour Chapel's reply:
Annabel & David
Your wedding day was really beautiful and memorable, all for good reasons of course.
Your wedding day was perfect and we will always remember it. The expression on David's face when he yielded the sword to cut your cake was worth the wait. The car - so cute, your wedding dress classically stunning, and your friends and family joyful in every way. Thank you for choosing the harbour chapel and for leaving us this fantastic review - real weddings talk! -

Beautiful Harbour Chapel in Dunbar.
We had a Wonderful Wedding Party at Harbour Chapel in May 2025.
Not only is it a beautiful setting, the staff are exceptional. Owner Fiona Veitch and the Events Organiser, Victoria Arran go the extra mile to help us have the perfect day.
They were amazing in every way, with attention to detail and an excellent sound system.
Highly recommend Harbour Chapel ❤️The Harbour Chapel's reply:

Catherine Sent on 31/12/2025Low-key elopement
We came across The Harbour Chapel through a web search for reasonably priced venues to accommodate our small elopement and we booked our wedding for 29th September straight away.
The Harbour Chapel had everything we were looking for – a beautiful little venue by the sea with a wonderful atmosphere and great staff, especially Victoria, who went above and beyond to make our day special.
In the lead-up to the wedding, and on the day itself, the team looked after us so well.
Due to distance we hadn't actually viewed the venue before booking, though we were well looked after with efficient communication to put our minds at ease.
We're so glad we chose The Harbour Chapel.
We can’t thank the team at The Harbour Chapel enough and would absolutely recommend this beautiful venue to couples looking for something a little different.
We'll be back, for sure!The Harbour Chapel's reply:
You guys were amazing, and honestly we can't thank you enough for taking a leap of faith and booking your elopement venue unseen. Our quirky little chapel suited you both perfectly and it warms our hearts knowing that you had an incredible day. Next time you are in the area, please know that you will always be welcome here and we hope our paths will cross again. Meanwhile enjoy this new chapter together and cherish those memories always.
