Happy couple married in November

Absolutely perfect

4•11•2023 Myself and my partner got married in Cyprus at a very small wedding with close friends and family (17 people) it was lovely and everything we both imagined 30 degrees heat in October with our close friends! I rush into things and I always have done! We had a baby last June, went for a walk to braehead and found myself and my partner in tui booking our wedding!! We decided that we also wanted to celebrate back home and looked into having a reception but when we visited Suzanne at coats she told us about the twilight wedding! Straight away, me being me we jumped on and booked it! I can honestly say it was the best decision ever!!! As it was just a very small wedding in Cyprus we decided to take the opportunity and do our wedding all over again and not only have a reception but have a second wedding!!! Coats is the most stunning venue ever! Absolutely everything was perfect! I want to say a special thank you to: Makeup.byStacey - Stacey did both my myself and my mums make up and hair for the wedding! My mum loves glam make up but also never had her make up done before but I could tell straight away from my mums face that she loved it!!! Stacey did AMAZING!!! I got my hair and make up done from Stacey for the first time at my hen party and again I absolutely loved it. She is such a genuinely lovely person and felt like I had known Stacey forever! We hit it off straight away! Such a chatty lovely person 🫶🏼 Victoria Johnston Celebrant Victoria wonderful person!!! Recommended to me and I am bloody glad she was!!! An absolute angel sent from heaven! We met up and hit it off like a house on fire . Victoria had a great energy about her and I just knew we wanted. her from the first phone call we had and when we met I just knew we had the right person to marry us! An absolute star! When we got home from Cyprus and before the home wedding, Victoria emailed us over the wedding script .. I cried the WHOLE way through it because it was the most perfect and beautiful thing I’ve ever read and I couldn’t believe how much attention she had paid to both myself and my partner when we met for a chat. We did a hand fastening ceremony along with the sand ceremony as we have a “blended family” with kids brought in from both sides of the relationship so we felt it was the right thing. Victoria included all 4 of the kids to the ceremony and they loved it! You would Think kids would get bored at a ceremony but no! Our stood in absolute awe of Victoria as she spoke about our family unit ! Tracy McQuillan Tracy McQuillan Photography Tracy was our photographer and she was outstanding! We got a sneak peak of some pics within 24 hours!!! Nothing has ever been too much to ask from Tracy, she met us in several occasions, asking about what we were looking for in the photography and also took in what the kids wanted! We wanted to recreate a few things which we did in Cyprus like sparklers with the kids . What a lovely Lovely person !!! I love the style of Photography and I really feel like I have met a friend for life 🤍 I have also bought a voucher to go for a family photoshoot as Tracy was AMAZING at what she did and for once the kids didn’t moan about getting their pics taken!! Sunshine Sweet - we ordered our cake along with cupcakes and favours for the children! The cake was the most amazing cake I genuinely have ever tried! Everyone complimented it from the look and the taste it was out of this world!! I had an idea of the style of Cake I was looking for and what we got was more perfect than I could have imagined!!! First Class Catering - The food was out of this world!! A finger buffet as it was a twilight wedding and we upgraded to add extra food on! The amount of people who have.m Contacted myself and Michael to say the food was unreal has been great! The staff and food was brilliant and I can’t wait to come to your pub/restaurant to enjoy more of your amazing food!! Arkleston Piping - we booked yourselves and there is honestly nothing nicer than having a piper at a wedding .. it gives me goosebumps and always end up with a tear in my eye because it reminds me of my dad for some reason! You did amazing piping the guests in then myself and my son! Thank you so much ! Cheers Party Cart Hire - we hired the flower wall which was at the open night at coats and we are so glad we did! It was the talk of the night and it was Lovely to have it behind the top table To block out the dj box during the speeches and food and then Suzanne and the team moved it to the side for a back drop for the cake and photos of course!!! Nicole was lovely and the Flower wall was beautiful and looks amazing in photos 🥰 Tam Ward Entertainments - Tam you were amazing! The music was great! It wasn’t a hassle when I sent yoy over a list of songs we wanted and we didn’t go for the normal end of night song but that wasn’t a problem to you. You were great and had a such a wide variety of music!!! B-Direct Minibus Hire - billy is a star! We booked him to take us to the airport for the wedding in Cyprus and because we were so impressed we booked him again for the journey to and from coats! We don’t want to do wedding cars as it was the evening so we booked billy which the service was amazing! Lovely genuine guy and was so helpful in helping with the pram, bags etc! Also had Prosecco for us on route and water on the way home! What a guy !! We will 100% use this service again! Coats Paisley- lastly I want to thank every single one of your staff but a special mention to Suzanne & Colin! You are both superstars and honestly been amazing ! Colin - what a lovely genuine guy !!! Nothing was too much to ask of and you were so helpful! Lovely lovely person ! Suzanne.. you throughout have been great! I honestly don’t know how you manage everything you do but wow!!! You made as feel so welcome, you helped out so much and you are a lovely person! YOU Made our day so special and the best day of our lives! You are such a kind person and you made it all happen for us! Everything worked out amazing, I stressed a bit at times and you made me feel at ease and reassured me every time! You would sit and listen to my long list of questions and you never thought it was too much to ask when I asked soooo many questions ! I honestly want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! We had the most amazing day and we will treasure these memories forever! It would not have been that day had we not had you all to contribute to it 🤍❤️ we will be forever grateful !!! What a venue!!! But honestly .. as much as the venue is stunning, what made it is the people & companies we had to make it 🫶🏼

Breathtaking

As a celebrant, I absolutely love working with the team at Coats and conducting ceremonies in the most breathtaking location.The building has so many wonderful original features (where else has a gargoyle in the toilet) and it makes for the most wonderful ceremonies. The team are incredibly friendly and professional, I look forward to conducting more ceremonies here.

Gorgeous church setting

We've been so fortunate to film at Coats multiple times and never tire of it. The venue is stunning offering something timeless to suit all. A gorgeous church setting with the all in 1 touch leaving couples with minimal fuss and maximum use for all the grounds. Suzanne has created a wonderful experience for couples and vendors alike as well as the rest of the staff who help coordinate the day. We recommend Coats often and will continue to sing their praises as the venue really does speak for itself but the heart of it all being the people really do elevate it all to another level🤍

Stunning Building

Helen and I got married in Coats In October. Stunning building. Can’t thank Suzanne enough for all her help in making our day amazing. Nothing is ever a problem and her and the team always available and make your day run smooth. Thank you to Angela too who showed us around and helped us next day when we had a florist worth of flowers to move. coats is a historic building, and is truly stunning, the ballroom is also beautiful, with lots of space for your guests to dance the night away. We highly recommend the venue, and the staff. You will not be disappointed if you chose here. It is truly unique and we are glad we got married here. Thank you to Suzanne, Angela and The team for everything.

Dream wedding

On Friday 19th May my mum got married! She had chosen the twilight ceremony which is something we have never heard of but loved the idea of. It was absolutely flawless start to finish, there was no messing about, the guests in particular loved this because they weren’t constantly waiting about, Suzanne Stevenson was just incredible, she literally went above and beyond what we could ever possibly imagine. Colin the care taker was phenomenal and helped us the whole night… even the times where the Booze had well and truly kicked in! It really was magical, Suzanne created my mums dream day! a wedding beyond what we could ever have imagined & a day we will never forget! I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS VENUE ENOUGH NOT TO MENTION YOU WILL NOT FIND STAFF LIKE THIS ANYWHERE ELSE! ( & I’d put money on that) Thankyou so much guys, and to all of the suppliers who came together and gave my mum her dream wedding. We love you all 🫶🫶

The best day ever

I got married at the Coats on the 26th May 2023 and it was genuinely the best day ever! The venue speaks for itself with the fantastic gothic style church and huge aisle to the iconic staircase! Due to the grand nature of the venue it needed very little decor overall. All of our suppliers were fantastic especially Scott @ First Class Catering our guests haven’t stopped speaking about how fantastic the wedding was and how tasty the profiteroles were! There are not enough words to describe how fantastic Suzanne is - she definitely had her hands full with my husband and I and she always went above and beyond for us. Overall 5* venue with a 5* wedding coordinator 🌟🤍

Can’t recommend enough

Myself and my husband were married here on the 7th May. We didn't have long to plan and organise our wedding (6 months) and never in a million years did we think we'd be getting married somewhere like here! It is by far one of the most beautiful and unique venues you could ever hope for. The space in the church is breathtaking and the ballroom downstairs is so stunning that not many decorations were even required! Our photos are stunning, all thanks to the venue (and I hate having my photo taken)! And not only that, it has the best wedding coordinator ever! Suzanne went above and waaaaaaay beyond when it came to our wedding and we could never thank her enough! Her generosity is astounding, we genuinely could not have pulled our wedding off without her. She was so responsive, reassuring and had an absolute wealth of knowledge that we could draw on. The recommended suppliers were absolutely fantastic, the package was amazing value for money and it really took a lot of the stress out of organising things in a short space of time. Nothing was ever too much bother and it was just so easy to sort out! I honestly can't recommend Coats enough and our guests are still talking about the venue! And I love passing by and thinking how lucky we were to be married there! :)

This is impossible to answer. Each and every wedding we hold here at Coats Paisley is unique to the couple and so different to one another.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take ten minutes to yourselves, some couples barely get to make eye contact until their first dance. I always encourage my couples to take some time out together just to let everything sink in. After all, you’ve just got married!
