FAQ's

What weather contingencies do garden wedding venues in Scotland offer?

Given Scotland’s unpredictable weather, it’s essential to ask garden wedding venues, like Boturich Castle, about their backup plans for rain or wind. Many venues offer indoor spaces or marquees as alternatives if the weather turns. Confirm if these options are included in your package or if there’s an additional charge. It’s also worth asking if the venue provides heating or shelter for outdoor areas during colder months to ensure your guests remain comfortable throughout the day, regardless of the weather.

Are there restrictions on outdoor décor at garden wedding venues in Scotland?

Some garden venues in Scotland, like The Coo’s Cathedral, may have restrictions on outdoor décor to protect the grounds. It’s important to ask if you can use structures like marquees, fairy lights, or confetti, and whether open flames or fireworks are permitted. Some venues might offer their own décor options, so enquire whether they have preferred suppliers who are familiar with the venue’s guidelines. Understanding these restrictions early can help ensure your wedding vision aligns with the venue’s policies.

Can you host both the ceremony and reception outdoors at garden wedding venues in Scotland?

Many garden wedding venues in Scotland, such as Carlowrie Castle, allow you to host both the ceremony and reception outdoors. This offers a seamless flow for your event without needing to move between spaces. However, it’s essential to confirm whether the venue can accommodate all stages of your day outdoors and what backup arrangements are in place if the weather changes. Ask about available seating, whether they provide outdoor furniture, and if there are noise restrictions for live music or entertainment outdoors.

How accessible are garden wedding venues in Scotland for guests with mobility issues?

Scotland’s garden wedding venues, like Auchen Castle, are often located in scenic, natural settings, which can sometimes make accessibility a challenge. It’s important to ask the venue about paths, ramps, or accessible parking for guests with mobility issues. Check whether they offer golf buggies or other transport for guests to easily move between areas. If you have guests with specific accessibility needs, ensure that the venue can accommodate them comfortably, especially if the ceremony or reception will be on uneven terrain or lawns.

Are garden wedding venues in Scotland available year-round?

Some venues, like Archerfield House, offer garden weddings year-round, but it’s important to ask how they adapt their outdoor spaces for different seasons. Venues may offer heated marquees or indoor spaces as alternatives during colder months, but the condition of the garden itself may vary depending on the season. Ask the venue how the garden looks at different times of the year and if certain flowers or landscaping are highlighted during specific months, ensuring the garden will match your vision on your chosen date.

Do garden wedding venues in Scotland provide catering for outdoor receptions?

Many garden venues in Scotland, such as Kinkell Byre, provide catering services that are specifically designed for outdoor receptions. It’s important to confirm if they can accommodate outdoor dining and what facilities are available for catering teams. Ask if the venue offers BBQs, food trucks, or picnic-style options, which are popular for outdoor weddings. Additionally, confirm whether they can cater to specific dietary requirements and how they manage the logistics of serving food outdoors to ensure a smooth experience for your guests.
