The Merchants House of Glasgow

One of the oldest buildings in Glasgow, the Merchants House served as the centre of civic government. It was also a meeting place for merchants and an ‘Almshouse’ for the poor in the 1600s. It’s still home to the Lord Dean of Guild, who sounds pretty important…
The stunning Grand Hall is perfect for a wedding banquet, seating up to 120 guests. The massively high ceilings and dark wooden panelling create a beautifully dramatic backdrop.
The Engine Works

If industrial exposed brick and cast iron detailing is your thing, the Engine Works is the ultimate blank canvas. Recently restored, it played a key part in Glasgow’s industrial past. It even houses a crane designed by Henry Royce. During the summer, guests can spill into the garden with food trucks, an outdoor bar and even a BBQ.
Old Fruitmarket

Glasgow’s historic Old Fruitmarket sits in the heart of the Merchant City area. It used to be… you guessed it… a market hall. Now it’s a popular music venue, looking excellent decked out in fairy lights. The white Recital Room makes a stunning setting for the ceremony. The opulent market hall itself is ideal for the reception. Your photographer, and more importantly your guests, will have a field day!

Its striking neoclassical architecture makes it instantly recognisable. Inside, you’ll find a spectacular main hall with a vaulted ceiling. It seats up to 250 guests for a reception. A truly grand setting for any wedding.
