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 Humanist Society Scotland celebrant.

Read moreOur cocktails
One of the best parts about having your own venue is coming up with the food and drink menus, and we had a lot of fun evenings in the bar sampling many many cocktails to come up with our final list. We wanted a mix of the traditional classics and some that you might not […]
Read moreOur 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 […]

Read moreOur first wedding
Katie and Steven were the first lucky couple to get married at Netherbyres House. They only got engaged on Christmas eve, so we had just a couple of months to plan the big day in February. Not to mention we’d just started the refurb, but who can say no to their big sister! It was […]
