Situated in the vibrant city of Edinburgh, Scotland, Riddle’s Court is a unique hidden gem. This A-listed former merchant’s home nestled close to Edinburgh Castle has recently re-opened after extensive renovation. Now, it's offering stylish weddings in the heart of the historic city. From the moment you enter from the Royal Mile, the venue exudes character and charm with a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. Facilities and Capacity Steeped in 400 years of history, the venue used to host banquets for royalty, and has since been enjoyed by couples on their own special days. The spacious rooms are perfect for wedding feasts and dances, and the lovely balconies provide a beautiful setting for photos. The venue can comfortably host up to 60 guests, making it ideal for smaller gatherings. After the festivities, couples can spend the night in the King's Chamber, a 16th-century apartment that makes a perfect honeymoon suite. Beautifully renovated to feature all modern comforts, this room was once used by King James VI of Scotland to host a dinner party. Services Offered The venue’s dedicated team will work with you to bring your ideas to life, creating the style and atmosphere that’s right for you. They can provide a range of catering and wedding event services to ensure a memorable occasion, and are happy to recommended suppliers based on your specifications. The best way to experience Riddle’s Court is to see it for yourself, and the venue welcomes you to schedule a virtual or onsite appointment. They look forward to hearing about your vision.

Riddle's Court is just a lovely venue for a wedding, and Louise and the rest of the team were fantastic on the day as well as beforehand. The building has an amazing Old Town Edinburgh atmosphere, with its size making it cosy and welcoming, but features like the painted ceiling and the chandeliers…

If you want something a bit different but very Scottish then this is the place. Such a gorgeous hidden venue and so close to the castle and the Royal Mile. It was exactly what we had imagined and it doesn’t need a lot of decor or flowers as the venue speaks for itself. The team accommodated all our…

Honestly everything about the venue was perfect and we can't rate the staff highly enough. Other venues we looked at had 'packages' and a slight pressure to have the wedding a certain way. With Riddles Court we were able to have the small wedding we wanted and it was perfect. Roseanne was really…

We had our Art Deco inspired wedding in June 2022 at Riddle's Court for 60 day/80 evening guests. It was everything that we could have imagined and more! The historic venue itself is truly stunning and unique, it tied in perfectly with the vintage feel of our wedding. It was such a pleasure having…
