Booked Event Space at Rogue
5.0

Perfect unique space for a private party (20 guests). Alice was super helpful with allowing me to visit the space twice beforehand so I could envisage how it would work. Everyone thought it was a beautiful venue and couldn't stop asking how I found it! The plinth upstairs is ideal for food platters and the counter area was great for the bar set up. No decoration required thanks to being surrounded by gorgeous flowers, plants, and displays. Wifi is provided so you can easily play music and Alice was flexible about us bringing our own speaker system. Highly recommend Rogue for a fabulous party experience.

Booked The Bothy at The Murrayfield Hotel
5.0

All of me and my partner's request were given very careful consideration and the event itself went smoothly. The staff were lovely and Emma our coordinator was really present throughout the preparations and very responsive in all of our enquiries. Our wedding guests loved the menu they were served and the venue was perfect as well for an intimate celebration. We were assigned the Forrester Suite and we loved it. So grateful they were the team we entrusted our special day with.

Booked Twenty Princess Restaurant at Hotel Indigo Edinburgh - Princes Street
5.0

I organised a conference dinner for 48 people. Leading up to the dinner Claire was extremely helpful, promptly replying to queries and being flexible when some delegates were late with their orders. On the night the restaurant was totally prepared and organised, with name cards for everyone. When some people took a course they hadn't ordered (as is inevitable in these situations), the restaurant quickly made new courses and provided everyone with what they wanted. The service was just outstanding. So was the food -- the set menu gave ample choice including for vegans, and many international guests were thrilled to have the chance to try Scottish specialities like haggis bon bons. All the attendees loved the atmosphere and the view. Really, it couldn't have been better.

Booked Burke and Hare at Hotel du Vin Edinburgh
4.9

Fabulous experience, couldn’t recommend the Burke and Hare private room enough. I’m very impressed and feedback is only positive. The evening was seamless; the team were more than willing to help, going above and beyond to ensure everyone was having a fab time. We hired the private room for a hen do and could play our own music, decorate the table, design the dinner and drinks between a few different menus. I also brought a cake which didn’t have any additional charge. 10/10 evening!

Booked KIN by Gary Maclean at The Roseate Edinburgh
5.0

We absolutely had the most wonderful time at the Roseate/Dunstane. Irina, Katie and the other Hotel’s staff made of this day something beyond words to explain. The entire place is absolutely beautiful giving castle vibes. We were allowed to have our drinks in the restaurant as we ordered many welcome cocktails. We then moved to Club Privé, where our dinner took place. The staff was absolutely friendly and wonderful and even helped one of my guests with a surprise that I didn’t know about! Our evening was wonderful, the food was really good and all of our wedding guests had an amazing time! I absolutely recommend this place, cost, intimate, amazing staff, I couldn’t ask for more!

Season Quayside was the perfect venue for our wedding. The room itself was a gorgeous setting to have our ceremony and meal. The communication with the staff has been brilliant from the very beginning, the food was outstanding and I can't thank everyone there enough for making our wedding day run as smoothly as possible.
