Weddings at the Botanics

The Royal Botanic Garden offers outdoor and garden wedding ceremony spaces, perfect for summer or winter weddings in Scotland.

Set in the heart of the city, the Royal Botanic Garden offers some of the most inspiring wedding venues in Edinburgh and Scotland, each embraced by a world-renowned living landscape.

Your signature experience among botanical splendour can unfold in any number of unforgettable ways. Encircled by nature’s finest expressions of rare and remarkable beauty, you can exchange vows beneath the towering giant redwoods in the John Muir Grove, host a vibrant evening reception in the Caledonian Hall overlooking the Rock Garden, and dance the night away with a ceilidh in the John Hope Gateway.

With an exceptional collection of indoor and outdoor spaces, the Botanics offers true versatility for both ceremony and reception, shaping everything from intimate elopements and relaxed gatherings to expansive celebrations. Suited to winter weddings with atmosphere, summer weddings in full bloom, and couples seeking unusual wedding venues in Edinburgh, each space and landscape lends its unique character to your celebrations.

All spaces are fully wheelchair accessible and suitable for both Civil and Humanist ceremonies, accommodating between 10–200 guests with ease.

When you choose this Edinburgh wedding venue, your story becomes part of the enduring legacy of the Botanics, helping to preserve and protect this remarkable sanctuary for generations to come. We hope its lasting beauty will be reflected in the life you build together.
