About The Great Hall
200 Standing / Reception
120 Seated
The afternoon sun streaming through our glass dome creates patterns on the parquet floor that photographers simply can't resist capturing at The Great Hall. We've seen wedding guests stop mid-conversation, champagne glasses in hand, to take in the soaring ceiling above them, where ornate ironwork meets delicate glazing in perfect Victorian harmony. Red carpeting runs along the edges of our honey-toned wooden floors, leading guests past the original ornate pillars that have stood here since the 19th century. The musician's balcony overlooks everything, and we've hosted string quartets, jazz bands, and even surprise serenades from up there. During wedding ceremonies, some couples position themselves beneath the dome's apex, while others prefer the intimacy created near the historic portraits lining our walls. We configure The Great Hall differently for each celebration. For wedding receptions, we welcome up to 200 guests who naturally flow between the pillars, creating intimate conversation spaces within the grander setting. When you're planning a seated dinner, we arrange tables for 120, with each place setting catching the light from our gold-rimmed glassware. The floral centerpieces our couples choose always complement the warm wood tones and rich architectural details surrounding them. Our exclusive partnership with Hickory means your wedding feast showcases the finest Scottish ingredients, prepared by chefs who understand how food should work within historic spaces. They've perfected everything from canapé receptions to five-course wedding breakfasts in this very room. The building sits just five minutes' walk from Edinburgh Waverley Station on Hanover Street, with lift access to all floors ensuring every guest can join your celebration comfortably. Whether you envision your first dance beneath the dome or prefer cocktails and conversation flowing throughout the space, The Great Hall transforms to match your wedding vision.
