Ceremony
Our auditorium is a superb restoration of the former Cowcaddens Free Church of Scotland built in 1872, making it a romantic and unique setting for your wedding ceremony.
Regarded as an Italianate church with decidedly Tuscan tower, it also has a mixture of Greek elements with a simple pedimented façade onto what is now Cowcaddens Road.
The ceremony hire for the National Piping Centre is £350.00. Couples must arrange their own celebrant; however we are happy to make recommendations.
We would be delighted to assist you with musical arrangements from a string quartet to a Clarsach player or even just an iPod or CDs to set the mood.
Individual wedding consultations are offered for every Bride and Groom to help successfully plan the big day. Just remember that it is your big day and that we are here to help ensure that it is perfect and memorable!
