The First Step of

Your Journey Here at The Glasshouse, you don’t have to choose between a vibrant Edinburgh city centre venue or a picturesque rural retreat. Our exclusive two-acre rooftop venue provides a tranquil oasis within the heart of Scotland’s capital. Boasting stunning views over the World Heritage Site, Calton Hill; The Glasshouse frames your perfect day with a dramatic and truly magical backdrop. Stepping through the 160 year old Georgian archway at the entrance to the hotel, once home to the Lady Glenorchy Church, you instantly pass into a bright and contemporary space. Relax before exchanging your vows in one of our stylish luxurious rooms, offering you private outdoor space on either a balcony or garden terrace.

A Walk Down

the Aisle

With a variety of choices incorporating a lawn-set ceremony beside our romantic pergola, a vow exchange on the terrace overlooking the stunning Calton Hill, indoors within our Observatory and its floor-to-ceiling windows, or our Henderson Gallery which is set against the vast window of the original Lady Glenorchy Church; the aisle you arrive down is really your choice. Whether you have your heart set on a breath-taking rooftop ceremony or prefer something slightly more traditional in our stunning indoor spaces, we’re happy to accommodate your every need in our four distinct, dazzling and unique settings. As well as our full-day wedding packages, we also offer a ceremony only option; starting from a personal bride & groom only affair, to a ceremony for up to 80 guests.
