Wedding Venues in Midlothian

Finding wedding venues in Midlothian

From Arniston House and Dalkeith Palace to independent rural barns and boutique hotels, Midlothian is a county immediately south of Edinburgh whose historic estate and country house venues offer a rural alternative to the city’s busier options, often at lower hire rates. Most of the venues listed here are based around Dalkeith and Penicuik, with Gorebridge drawing couples who want Pentland Hills and Edinburgh commuter-belt estate events. Venue hire typically falls between £2,500 for a weekday or off-peak Saturday and £12,000 or more for a peak summer exclusive-use booking, before catering.

If your venue is close to the Midlothian border with Edinburgh or East Lothian, it’s worth enquiring with suppliers in both areas — many are happy to quote across county lines without travel supplements. Ask about exclusive-use availability early — many country house and estate venues take only a limited number of bookings per year, and Saturday dates in May, June and September typically fill well in advance. Confirm what the venue provides in-house and what you’ll need to source separately; the difference between a ‘dry hire’ and a ‘full package’ venue can mean significant additional supplier cost.
