Weddings at The Glasshouse

Delighted to announce that we have been named Scottish Wedding Venue of the Year for the South East Region for 2013!

The stylish and contemporary design of The Glasshouse is perfectly combined with the medieval gothic architecture of the building's original facade, providing a spectacular backdrop for a wedding ceremony in the heart of Edinburgh. Truly unforgettable, the two-acre roof garden and alfresco terraces make The Glasshouse an unforgettable wedding location, overlooking the world famous National Heritage site, Calton Hill. These breathtaking views provide a perfect backdrop for a bride's special day. The rooftop has a dedicated reception room as well as a variety of different spaces to suit each couples personal preferences, guest list and, of course, the weather....


When the day draws to a close, the happy couple and guests can retire to the 65 luxury guestrooms and suites, with views over the Royal City and as far as the Firth of Forth, ensuring a special end to  day. The hotel can also be hired exclusively as a wedding reception venue in Edinburgh.
