Edinburgh’s popular ‘Botanics’ is the obvious place for your wedding if you love heritage gardens and unusual plants. You’ll find an extensive selection of options for both your ceremony and wedding breakfast here, as well as several package deals. The most extensive package includes a full multi-course Scottish meal, champagne, linens, canapes, and even a piper.

If you’re not one to want a lot of separate suppliers, the Botanics are a great option and will help you with most choices. As far as locations go, you can choose from the 1843-built Caledonian hall or a variety of more modern and outdoor spaces. The Chinese pavilion is particularly lovely and a bit unusual.

Only an Edinburgh Botanics wedding can showcase a wedding venue with a room of soft bark flooring, giant redwood tree pillars, vibrant rhododendron bush walls, and windows that are the open sky itself.
