Information For Cottiers

Cottiers is a charming and truly unique venue situated in the former
Dowanhill parish church in the heart of the West End, featuring
remarkable stained glass by Daniel Cottier, ornate stonework and a fully
restored Willis organ. If you’re looking for a romantic and special
environment that will wow your guests then Cottiers is the ideal setting.

With our dedicated wedding team in place the planning process is
effortless, and you’ll be expertly guided through every step. We work
with you to create your dream wedding and our wedding coordinator will
be there on the day making sure every detail is exactly right.
We have a selection of menus and drinks options for you to choose
from, or we can create a bespoke package entirely tailored to your needs.

Order of service

Ceremony:
Ceremonies are set up in front of the room dividers with rows of seats and
An optional red carpet central aisle. The ceremony takes place beneath
the pulpit in front of the signing table.

Drinks receptions:
After the ceremony guests usually head outside for a group photo in front
of the main church doors, then make their way upstairs to our restaurant
attic space designed by William Leiper for a glass of fizz and canapes.
In the warmer months tables are reserved outside so guests can enjoy
the use of a private beer garden. The theatre has its own exclusive bar for your use throughout the day, and can also be used as an alternative option for your drinks reception.

Wedding Breakfast:
Dinner takes place in the same area as the ceremony with the top table seated
beneath the pulpit. The maximum capacity for dinner is 130 set over ten tables
of 12 and a top table of 10. You have the option of a long or round top
table. You also have the choice of cabaret-style or banquet-style seating.

Reception:
After the meal we ask your guests to make their way into the
theatre bar area. The dividers would again be closed and the second
room turnaround takes place. At this time your band or DJ
set up and sound check. Tables are moved to beneath the balconies making room for the dance floor.

Set up:
Our dedicated wedding team dress the room according to your requests: including table dressing, cake dressing, setting up candy buffets, laying aisle runners etc. We’re also happy to work with florists and other vendor’s to ensure the theatre is set to your exact specifications. We will then pack everything up at the end of the evening, ready for collection by 11am the next day.

We had the most magical day at the Cottier for our wedding earlier this year. Everything from the staff, the service, the food, the set up and the atmosphere was amazing. We had the best day ever and would definitely recommend Cottiers to anyone for their wedding day!

Meet the Wedding Coordinator

Erin

Hello and congratulations on your engagement! My name is Erin, and I am the wedding coordinator in Glasgow’s renowned Cottiers theatre. I have over 16 years experience working in hospitality and events. I joined Cottiers in 2018 as front of house manager. I soon found that my love of creativity and attention to detail made me suited to weddings, and became a coordinator not long after joining. In terms of what we can offer, myself and our other Coordinators will be there with you from the moment you book your wedding until your big day. From organising your wedding menu tasting, to meeting with you in person to build your planner. We will ensure your day is planned to suit your vision. On the day itself, my team and I will coordinate with your suppliers, celebrant and musicians to make sure the day runs smoothly. Overall, I ensure that the planning process and the day itself are organised with care and attention and bringing your vision to life.
