Many venues in Glasgow allow you to decorate their dining rooms to match your event’s theme, but remember to check with the venue for any specific restrictions before making plans. Consider using removable or non-invasive décor such as bunting, fairy lights, or table centrepieces to avoid damaging the space. Always coordinate with the venue manager about setup times to prevent last-minute stress on the day of your event and arrange for clean-up after the event.
