Weddings are expensive, we all know that, so any savings a bride and groom can make are very welcome. One of the best ways to save money is through a wedding package which can dramatically reduce the cost of your big day.
The wedding deals offered through packages frequently offer colossal discounts on everything from catering to flowers and accommodation. Naturally, these packages are usually offered during non-peak times of the year or on weekdays and Sundays, however if you don’t have your heart set on a summer, Saturday wedding or can plan your day pronto, to nab a last minute deal, wedding packages are absolutely worth looking into.
Having performed at most of the venues in Scotland (and beyond) we thought we’d sniff out some of the best deals at our favourite wedding locations to help you find your perfect space.
Here are some of our top picks for all inclusive wedding deals and packages in Scotland.
