Planning Ghillie Dhu

A little more useful context before you enquire.

Enough information to understand the setting and start an event brief, without pretending every room or wedding follows the same layout.

Setting

Historic city-centre auditorium

Ghillie Dhu is in Edinburgh & the Lothians. City venues, country houses, castles and coastal celebrations across Edinburgh, Midlothian, East Lothian and West Lothian.

Room planning

Plan around the actual event layout.

Up to 150 for ceremony and wedding breakfast; up to 180 evening guests.

Dance-floor dimensions, booth position and styling space can change with table plans, staging, bars and evening turnaround.

Instapic experience

A venue already on our event history.

Instapic has worked at this venue before. We have not attached a specific floor size or service list unless it is backed by our event records or matched photographs.

Plan your Instapic setup

Choose the experience first. We’ll match it to the room.

We know the venue from previous Instapic work, but we only attach specific service history when it has been checked against our records.
