It is quite worthwhile to contact a wedding coordinator and is becoming increasingly popular throughout Scotland and the rest of UK. A wedding planner often bills a fixed fee or a portion of the total cost of the wedding. As they assist you with decisions, negotiations, and bookings, you're likely to end up saving in the long run. You're more likely to stay on track if you're following a tight budget and they're clear on this so might be a good investment for you if you need to be strict on budget and guarantee yourself a stress free day.

Yes, many wedding venues in Scotland offer outdoor ceremony spaces, such as gardens, gazebos, or terraces. Be sure to check with the individual venue to see what outdoor options they have available.

Can you host a wedding in a converted barn in Scotland?

Due to their relaxed atmosphere and availability as a blank canvas, barn wedding locations are an extremely popular venue across the country because you can completely convert them to match your wedding theme. Think exposed brick and high wooden beams that create a magical atmosphere on the day. Scotland plays host to many barn wedding venues meaning you can relax and enjoy your wedding in a chic but modern space surrounded by family and friends. Whilst most Barn venues offer up-to-the-minute facilities such as indoor toilets and bar facilities, you may have to factor in the cost of table, chairs and outside catering as some will run as dry hire venues. Try out Haburn Barn or step into luxury at The Byre at Inchyra to get an idea of what a barn wedding in Scotland could look like for you.

Rather than suggesting a specific venue we recommend being sure to look at venues that have a separate room that could be used as a chill-out space or play area for the children that's separate from the main room which is a surefire way to keep the kids happy while the adult's party. When touring the venue make sure you check if they offer facilities like a baby change area and highchairs. You can make little guests feel extra welcome creating a party pack for their table including a colouring set and table top games to keep them entertained during the speeches.
