We’d choose Riddle’s Court again, no doubt.
“We got married at Riddle’s Court, Edinburgh in July 2023 and had the best experience. From the very beginning, starting with our enquiry in January 2023, the planning process to the actual event happening, we couldn’t have been happier with both the venue and staff. Erin, Taylah and her team were very accommodating to our plans and wishes. We’d choose Riddle’s Court again, no doubt. It doesn’t get more “Edinburgh” in terms of location, style, and general feel really.”

We have done nothing but praise Riddle’s Court
“From our initial conversations with the team, we have done nothing but praise Riddle’s Court and the staff there. Everything in the lead up to booking the venue and agreeing what we wanted for decoration was no trouble at all – even when we took our time. The staff just want you to enjoy your day and they made it easy, and to be really honest….AWESOME! We had a great wedding day. Riddle’ Court is a perfect venue and if anyone is thinking of doing it….just book!”
