About 1599 at the Royal College
The oak-paneled corridors of 1599 at the Royal College have witnessed countless celebrations since the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow first established this remarkable building. We understand what makes a wedding venue truly special - it's not just about the space, but how centuries of history can frame your most important day. Our Victorian architecture creates natural romance throughout every room. Original Rennie Mackintosh stained glass windows cast colored light across polished floors, while the sweeping mahogany staircase provides that perfect backdrop for photographs. The Great Hall, with its soaring ceilings and ornate chandeliers, comfortably hosts up to 150 guests for your reception. For more intimate ceremonies, our smaller function suites offer wood-paneled warmth with original fireplaces that add genuine character to your vows. Planning weddings here means working with spaces that tell their own stories. Each room carries distinct personality - from the grandeur of our main halls to the quieter elegance of our meeting rooms where bridal parties can prepare. We've carefully preserved period features while ensuring modern comfort. The building's bones remain beautifully Victorian, but heating, lighting, and sound systems all meet today's expectations. Our kitchen team crafts wedding menus using Scottish ingredients, working closely with local suppliers who share our commitment to quality. From formal wedding breakfasts to relaxed evening buffets, we adapt to your vision while handling dietary requirements with quiet efficiency. The service team understands wedding day rhythms - when to guide, when to celebrate, and when to simply ensure glasses stay filled. Saint Vincent Street's central location means your guests can reach us easily from Charing Cross, Anderston, or Glasgow Central stations. We'd welcome the chance to walk you through these historic rooms and discuss how 1599 could become part of your wedding story.
