Wedding Venue Location in Scotland

First things first, if the wedding venue is licensed for civil wedding ceremonies, can the venue advise on contact details for the local Superintendent Registrar (usually this information is in the brochure). You might want to know if other weddings will be taking place on the same day as yours.

Ask also about confetti throwing, what decorative detail is included in the price, storage for wedding presents, checkout times for the following day and what facilities are available for children. Suggested menus should be included in the brochure, but check just exactly what is inclusive in the price - wine and extra drinks are usually extra!
