Summer months (June to August) are perfect for weddings in Glasgow, thanks to longer daylight hours and warmer weather. However, these months are in high demand, which can drive up venue costs and reduce availability. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) are excellent alternatives. These seasons are also less competitive, usually resulting in lower venue hire fees and better vendor availability. Winter weddings, while less common, can create a magical atmosphere and allow for significant savings, but be prepared for shorter daylight hours and unpredictable weather.
The venue size should align with your guest list and the type of setup you prefer. For example, a seated dinner requires more space per person than a standing reception. As a rule of thumb, allow 10–12 square feet per guest for a seated event and 6–8 square feet for a standing one. Consult with the venue’s event coordinator to ensure the space meets your needs.
In addition to the venue hire fee, consider costs for catering, bar services, decorations, photography, and entertainment. Some venues charge extra for extended hours or additional staff. Make sure to confirm if VAT is included in the quoted price to avoid surprises.
