What We Do for You
Venue
We find the perfect ceremony and reception venue (s) for you and negotiate the best terms on your behalf. We then handle all communications and details with the selected venue throughout the process so you can be sure everything is taken care of on the day.
Conception
We work together with you to establish a realistic budget and overall plan for your trip from the outset and make suggestions so you can get the very best from your visit to Scotland, including venue specific recommendations for local sightseeing, tourist attractions or evening entertainment.
Logistics
We coordinate of every element of the wedding plans from a logistics perspective, from timings to organising suppliers so we can make sure you can just relax and enjoy the trip without needing to worry about who is doing what.
The Ceremony
We advise our couples from the outset on their options for the ceremony and pair them with the perfect celebrant for the big day. We also offer guidance on the content of the ceremony; from music to readings and personalised vows.
The Paperwork
We've been planning weddings in Scotland for couples from overseas for almost a decade now and we know how daunting this process can be, so we guide you seamlessly through the process to keep this stress free and simple.
Communication
We know how hard it is to attend a meeting with the florist when you’re living in the US, so we handle all that for you
and act as your representative here in Scotland. All you have to do is tell us what you want, and we make sure it happens!
Gentleman’s Outfitting
While you handle the dress from home, we’re here locally to coordinate kilt hire for the Groom if he wishes to get into the Scottish spirit.
Hair and Makeup
We team you with the perfect hair and makeup team to have you looking flawless on the big day. Once booked, you can talk directly to your stylists to go over the looks you have in mind and we can even organise a trial for you the day before the wedding if you wish.
Photography and Videography
We have used our years of experience to identify the very best photographers in Scotland, and we will work to pair you with
those best suited to your design, style and budget. If we get discounts or incentives, we pass those on to you so you can benefit from our years of expertise and have beautiful memories to take home and share with your friends and family.
Flowers
No wedding day is complete without flowers, and we will recommend one of our talented florists to work with you on creating your perfect bouquet and buttonhole. If you'd like to add more flowers to your ceremony design, we can help with that too. Every decision is entirely in your hands and all the suppliers we work with will be able to translate your vision to your specifications.
Food and Drinks
On the wedding day, we work with you to create a plan for the day's celebration. this might mean an intimate private dinner at your wedding venue, or we might arrange a private, luxury picnic or a table at a fabulous local restaurant. Your choices for food and drinks are completely tailored to you and dependent on the location you select.
Musicians
If you'd like live musicians at your wedding ceremony, we have a little black book brimming with wonderful local performers; from traditional bagpipers to string quartets.
Travel, Accommodation & Activities
While we don't handle your flights and transport for you, we do make recommendations for the best accommodation choices and how to get around when you're in Scotland. We can also help organise local activities or sightseeing adventures so you can make the most of your visit.
