Hello all and happy new year!
I am in the process of booking our hotel and sit-down meal for our wedding. We are now having a small wedding, with 15 guests in total including me and h2b. We are getting married at Lothian Chambers which is all booked, but we still need to find a nice hotel to put our guests up in and a nice restaurant for after the ceremony.
I have been in touch with a lovely lady from the Angels Share Hotel, which looks beautiful. But the reviews for both restaurant and hotel are just satisfactory, nothing special. However, it is well within budget.
This is the website: http://angelssharehotel.com/ Your thoughts would be most welcome! :-)
Also, originally we wanted a private suite for our meal and drinks, but now I'm thinking it'll feel too isolated. The Angels Share have offered us a big table in the main restaurant with our own little cordoned off area of the bar. This is quite appealing to me, as I'm quite a sociable person and like to mingle. Not sure how my guests would feel though, with it being a wedding and they're all in their best wedding attire. I just don't know what to do! Perhaps a private function room might be more appropriate. I'm torn! The bonus of eating in the main restaurant is no room hire charge!! ?
I've been in touch with the Balmoral, who are a wee bit too pricey in terms of hotel rooms and private suite hire. A meal in the main restaurant would be feasible though. I've also emailed Hotel Du Vin, The Howard, Nira Caledonia, The Roxburgh and enquired about having food and drinks at Angels with Bagpipes. Still waiting to hear back though. Anyone familiar with any of these or know of anywhere else I could try?
We are relying on word of mouth and photos at the moment as we're not local anymore. The earliest we can visit venues is June, but we get married in September so ideally need something in place before then! Your help would be much appreciated!!! xxx
