Intimate Wedding Venues in and Around Glasgow

Most people have a predefined view that an intimate wedding venue is a small wedding venue. In many cases this may well be true and it's true to say that some of the most intimate venues are indeed small in size. It is also true to say that most weddings that are considered intimate, have relatively small numbers of guests, ranging from a handful to around 50 or so. Any more than that and the intimacy is often lost.

However the supposition that to have intimacy, the venue itself must be small, is a fallacy. There are many gorgeous wedding venues that can potentially accommodate large numbers of guests which also offer the opportunity for an intimate celebration. You can find many intimate wedding venues in The Wedding Venues Glasgow Search Directory. In the meantime here are some suggestions for you to ponder over:-

• Consider both large and smalll venues
• Ensure that your wedding will have the privacy you want on your special day.

Many of the larger venues can offer the use of smaller rooms for hire and frequently you can make exclusive use of certain areas of the building and/or gardens. Indeed the exclusivity of the rooms and gardens/conservatory etc is really the first priority when looking for a potential wedding venue, if intimacy is what you require. You certainly won't find what you want if the venue is large and your celebration isn't somewhat sheltered from all the other guests and visitors to the hotel.

• Assess the ambience of the room/s and other areas of the hotel such as the gardens that you will be using.

Once you have a list of venues in mind that can offer the privacy that you obviously require for your special day, then you need to assess the potential ambience of each venue. This can be incredibly difficult to imagine if you are visiting in the day time with a bare room and no guests around. You really need to make full use of the information the venue provides as well as talk at length to their wedding coordinator.

• So check out their brochures and look at their website to see if they have a downloadable PDF which shows off the place as you would like to see it.
• Some venues may have a video on their website for you to view.
• Ask the wedding coordinator if they have a video of the rooms and gardens being used which they use as promotional material.
• Pay close attention to the decor and furnishings.

Whilst you don't necessarily have to have a lavish affair it won't feel very intimate, even in dim light, if the place is looking tired or tatty. Check out the lighting arrangements so that they can create the mood you require.

• Ask about any music you would like played in the background to add to the atmosphere.

Many places would be more than happy to arrange a live musician for you. A classy pianist, suitably attired, adds immeasurably to the whole feel of an evening reception.

• Enquire about the menu on offer.

Nothing short of outstanding food is really good enough for such an occasion. Whilst it needn't be an a la carte menu necessarily, it should certainly be adding to the specialness of the evening.

• The standard of service needs to be impeccable.

Not just impeccable in the normal sense of what you would expect from professionals at a wedding, but also in terms of how the staff engage, talk and move around the rooms.It is essential that they create and are part of the atmosphere that you are really hoping will be very special and intimate. There are many venues both large and small that can accommodate smaller weddings where intimacy is the order of the day. It is true to say that some of the more unique wedding venues offer some of the most intimate of venues and small high class restaurants often make exceptional venues for such occasions.

• Check out venues such as high class restaurants, that don't actually advertise as a wedding venue.

You will be surprised just how many places such as a restaurant would be more than happy to close their doors to the public for a night to accommodate you. Very often they make the most romantic of venues and provide an unforgettable experience at the end of a very special day.
