Netherbyres House | Bold and Unique Wedding Venue

Latest goings-on

Alice & Matt

Alice & Matt were our very first virtual booking – a chat over zoom was enough for them to know Netherbyres was the place they wanted to tie the knot. And luckily they loved it even more when they did eventually get to visit with their little sausage dog Lenny, when they moved to Edinburgh […]

Grand Hall Gallery

We’re very excited to announce our brand new Grand Hall Gallery artist – the amazing Josie Devine. We’d been stalking her Insta for a while when she happened to pop by with one of our Brides, so we jumped at the chance to ask her if she’d be interested in being the next artist to […]

Hannah & Jordan

We’ve got a corker of a wedding to kick off our 2022 wedding blogs. You know it’s going to be a good party when the couple are in their very own wedding band. But it wasn’t just the music that was great (oh hello Gav on Sax), the whole day was so much fun and […]

It was fate

When Ryan from Pretty Flamingo Weddings and I started talking about doing a styled shoot together towards the end of 2021, we immediately knew we wanted it to be different. Neither of us are really into the traditional – we love weddings with a modern, bold and unique style. It was so important for us […]

A-Z

Our A-Z of Netherbyres weddings will give you the lowdown on everything you need to know about having your nuptials at Netherbyres. All Weather Venue We’re lucky to have great grounds so that if the weather plays ball, most of the day can be outside. Fancy having your ceremony outdoors? We’ve got plenty of places […]

Group shot spots

More often than not these days, wedding photography is all about the more candid, natural shots of you and your guests enjoying your day, which we’re huge fans of. But let’s face it, we all need one or two formal photos for the family album. We often get asked where the best places are at […]

Hailey & JP

Hailey and JPs wedding was our last of 2021, and what a way to finish the season. These guys know really how to party! We got to work with Natalie Dalziel Flowers for the first time, and what a pleasure it was. We absolutely loved the abundance of autumnal flowers she added to the Grand […]

Fantastic florals

We’ve absolutely loved seeing all of the different flowers our couples have chosen this year, and getting to work with so many incredibly talented florists. So we thought we’d share just a few of our favourites. Hexagon embellishments How many ways are there to dress a hexagon? It turns out, quite a few. From all […]

Fiona & Simon

This September, Fiona walked down the Grand Hall staircase to the sounds of a string quartet, made up of some of her very talented cousins. She clutched her bouquet of sunflowers and other beautiful bright blooms made by the team at Occasions, who also did the decoration on the stairs, hexagon and tables. One of […]

Helen & Alex

Helen & Alex got married at Netherbyres on a drizzly day in October, choosing a humanist ceremony where they did, quite literally, tie the knot! The dream team of Fleurs de Jacque and Flowers by Mackenzie created the floral decorations including garlands of beautiful pink roses and foliage down the staircase. Doing the catering during […]

A brief history

We’re often asked about the history of the house and what it used to be. So here’s the story of when it was built, and how it became what it is today. The Craw family The Netherbyres estate was originally owned by the Craw family for 250 years. William Craw, who had a passion for […]

Maggie & Fergus

Maggie & Fergus’ sunny September wedding was a lovely end of summer affair, with guests enjoying Aperol Spritz and ice creams during the drinks reception at Bojangles Bar, before moving indoors for a feast prepared by the team at Hickory. Our friends at Occasions created the beautiful bouquets and floral decorations. Bleeker provided the evenings […]

Rachel & Kyle

Rachel & Kyle finally got married this October, a year later than planned. After a few postponements, they’d decided to go ahead come what may, even if that meant having to have a much more intimate celebration. But luck was finally on their side and there was a whole lot of love in the room […]

Zara & Mark

If we had to describe Zara and Mark’s wedding in just one word it would be… magical. They decided to have an intimate microwedding, inviting just 18 guests to the ceremony and meal. Zara looked etherial in her flowing gown, giving off serious Lana Del Ray vibes. They flipped things around for the ceremony, marrying […]

Being sustainable

With COP26 happening in Glasgow this week, it’s got us thinking about sustainability and what we’re doing to reduce our impact on the environment. We’re very aware that our 1830’s mansion isn’t the most environmentally friendly of houses. So we try wherever we can to make sustainable choices and reduce our carbon footprint. We’ve included […]

Kat & Rob

Kat & Rob had their wedding weekend with us in early September. They chose to have a catholic service at a small church in Dunbar, and travelled there in style thanks to some incredible classic cars. On the way back they stopped off at Dunbar harbour so Northern Aye Photography could capture their first photos […]

Jill & Greg

Jill & Greg had originally planned to get married in Mallorca, but a global pandemic and a couple of kids later, they instead chose Netherbyres as their destination to tie the knot. And the Costa del Scottish Borders definitely didn’t disappoint. It was a scorcher! Lauren and Louisina from Days of Dahlia created the most […]

Jo & Ian

After rescheduling their wedding three times, Jo & Ian decided to keep things super small with an intimate ceremony for just 16 guests back in June. The pouring rain may have spoiled their plans for an outdoor ceremony, but it definitely didn’t put a dampener on the day. Jo is a designer, and her design […]

Mixing up traditions

As you may have realised by now, we’re not all that traditional here at Netherbyres. We love it when our couples suggest doing something a little bit different, from jugs of margs on the tables instead of wine, to having all day grazing from street food vans rather than a sit down meal. So here’s […]

Ailie & Nick

Beyond level 0 – we made it!!! Although there’s still some way to go, we’re so excited to finally get back to some sort of wedding normality. And what better way to celebrate than with some photos of Ailie & Nick’s incredible wedding. It started with an elegant ceremony in the Grand Hall with Ailie […]

Deneka & Jamie

Well, this one was pretty special. Deneka & Jamie were the first couple ever to book their wedding with us. They came to view the house on a dreary winter’s day back in early 2019, when we were about two days into the refurbishment. The place looked nothing like it does now. There were brown […]

Grand Hall Gallery

The thing about having a big house is that there’s lots of walls to fill. And being big fans of abstract art ourselves, we really wanted to fill them with vibrant and contemporary works from Scottish Artists. So when we came across Lynsey Scott’s incredible art on Instagram, we slid straight into her DMs to […]

Bojangles Bar

As soon as we saw the Summer House the first time we visited Netherbyres, we knew it would make the perfect outdoor bar. So we can’t wait to finally be knocking up some Spritz in it this summer. Being nearly 100 years old, it needed a bit of work first. We started on the outside […]

An intimate ceremony

Adele & Grant decided to go ahead with their intimate ceremony with only two witnesses in March as it was a special date for them both being the anniversary of when they first got together, and having already rescheduled their wedding a number of times, they were ready to finally say ‘hell yes’. There may […]

Blurring Lines

When we’re not busy doing weddings, we often rent the house out as a location for photoshoots. And we were very excited when our friends at Crew Network got in touch about hosting a shoot for the March issue of GQ Portugal. This shoot was right up our street. Not only did we get to […]

An outdoor ceremony

Alison & Marc got married in September and were lucky enough to get the last of the Scottish summer sun for their small wedding, so they opted to have a mask-free outdoor ceremony, surrounded by their closest friends and family. All photography by Strad Photography. Flowers by Occasions Eyemouth. Alison arrived with her Dad to […]

Stu & Al’s micro wedding

In November, we were thrilled to host the wedding of our friends Stuart and Alasdair. They had suffered the curse of the 2020 wedding, having originally planned to have their big day in London in May 2020. After attempting to reschedule several times, they finally decided to go ahead with an intimate Scottish micro-wedding. And […]

Best True Crime podcasts

We mentioned in the blog about us that you can often find me listening to true crime podcasts. Well, that’s a bit of an understatement. I listen to them all the time… when I’m decorating, when I’m driving, I even go to sleep listening to them (yes, Mike thinks it’s weird too). I’m constantly Googling […]

Picking your ceremony

Not sure where to start when it comes choosing the ceremony for your big day? Scottish law allows couples to marry anywhere, even outdoors, as long as the ceremony is conducted by a religious official, registrar or a non-religious celebrant. So here’s a guide to the different options available for your nuptials at Netherbyres. Humanist So I know we’re […]

Our interiors

If you’ve read our blog about the history of the house, you’ll know that prior to becoming a wedding venue, Netherbyres House was a home for retired gardeners. So as you can imagine, it needed a little bit of updating before we could start welcoming our couples through the door. We’ve always loved bold interior […]
