We had the pleasure of using this venue for my daughters Bridal Shower. This was a small event, held in the downstairs bar area, with High Tea and games we had brought along. All staff at the Mansion House were extremely professional, friendly and accommodating, both in the run up to the event and during it. For example my elderly mother arrived very tired and thirsty after a busy morning, and they brought her some tea and offered to make her some toast too, even though this was not 'part of the package'. The house itself is a lovely old historic building with beautiful grounds and views, and we had a chance to see some of the larger rooms as well, which were wonderful. Everything was well planned and timed, and we were well looked after throughout. Would happily recommend.

We got married here ion 22nd Feb 2025. Being in Berkshire and planning a wedding in Edinburgh is not easy but the staff made it so . Nothing was too much trouble. From initial planning to on the day and after we have nothing but good things to say. Planners are great and we did n a lot online and by email but it was all flawless on the day.Blaise, Oz and the team on the day were brilliant along with serving staff , bar staff all were great and the food was also of top notch quality . We have had so many great comments form people who attended we cannot rate it highly enough. We brought in soft play in the turret room and had red bus trips but fitting it all in with the planetarium and the attraction itself meant a fun filled fabulous day for all.

From the initial meeting with Tracey to the Wedding Day everything was faultless. Tracey listened as I described the wedding I was looking for and offered suggestions to enhance my day that I had not considered. Although numbers etc changed Tracey was helpful and accommodated all changes. Doug who supplied the Light up Dance Floor, Post Box, Chair coverings and Love Letter was also extremely helpful and so friendly and always prepared to go the extra mile. On the day John McDonald was on hand to keep me calm and walk me through the days events. John was patient and went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect day. John also packed up all our items from the day so we just had to load them into the car the next day. Bar service was also efficient and staff really helpful and friendly. Food was great and there was plenty of it. All | had to do was turn up as everything was handled for me. The area the ceremony took place was absolutely stunning with all chairs covered and the red carpet added the perfect touch. The only negative was the repair work being made to the roof in the conservatory however Doug managed to dress this up to detract from the scaffolding. I have been to lots of weddings at this venue and have always been impressed however i loved the fact that Tracey tailored made the wedding to fit our requirements. All our guests have messaged us to say what a great night. Colin, the DJ (Big Al Entertainment) is also highly recommended. Contact was made prior to the wedding with any special requests and these were all met on the night. Wedding party names etc were all used and made everyone included. We even managed to get Colin a wee dance.

As a couple, fun and inclusivity are important to us. We felt this really matched with the values of the team at Leith Arches who were so flexible and willing to discuss ideas for doing things a bit differently when organising our day. On the day, we were able to have our friend DJ during the day, have a VW campervan in the venue as a chill out area, have a drinks station with beer buckets and wines available, put on a big BBQ feast for our guests then end the night with a drag show and musical entertainment. So many guests have said it was one of the most fun weddings they have been to and for us, this was down to the team's open-minded and can-do attitude to making our day as special as possible. The city centre location also makes it accessible for people travelling and many people used trains and trams to travel back and forward. If you are a creative couple who want to feel your day as authentic to who you are, this is the venue for you to have your wedding.
