Top Wedding Tips
Work out what’s most important – are you nuts for flowers, or crazy foodies? Think about the most important things and weight the budget accordingly, then you get a wedding personal to you.
Consider your guests when choosing your venue – are there many stairs so its inaccessible for guests with mobility issues? Does your ceremony venue have a central aisle for your all important train?
Make it personal, but leave yourself time! – If you are making your invitations, or creating gifts, make sure you factor in enough time so you don’t end up stressed.
The National Piping Centre Reviews




They answered every email so promptly, and we're always there when I was having an indecisive moment. They made everything easy in the run up to the big day.
It all ran so smoothly, it was fantastic.

Couldn't have imagined having our day anywhere else. Just perfect.

After reaching out to multiple venues in the Glasgow area we found the National Piping Centre to be the perfect choice. It was central, well priced, appropriately Scottish themed (considering many travelling were from England) and the perfect size for our numbers.
The staff at the venue could not have been more helpful on the day and also leading up to the party.
We were delighted that you could organise a piper to play at both our wedding day in Italy but also at our reception in Glasgow, gave advice on some local DJ's and also made sure all the hall was decorated the way we requested.
Thanks for a wonderful time.

Everyone absolutely went above & beyond to make our day so special, every need was met & attention to detail was spot on.
Could not recommend you's more highly!
Sending big hugs & kisses.

They hosted our very closest friends and family for the days immediately surrounding the wedding, including the lovely touch of decorating the breakfast table the next morning with flowers from the reception. Everyone waxed lyrical about how kind and welcoming they were, attending to every need and making everyone feel so comfortable. We really appreciated their care and concern for all our guests, especially my wife's elderly grandparents.
The wedding day itself was perfection, from the piper who greeted us at the door and piped us into the reception right through the last dance of the ceilidh. The food was absolutely delicious, too, and the hall was set up beautifully, giving ample room for dancing as well as a warm atmosphere for plenty of mingling amongst the guests. Most of all, and most importantly, both we and all of our guests felt incredibly welcome and at-home the entire day, with the staff going above and beyond to take care of everything. We couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else!

All of the staff were exceptional - friendly, helpful and efficient at every turn. The restaurant and ceilidh room looked amazing and the food was first class. It wasn’t just us that thought so. Many of our guests commented on how great a venue it was and how lovely all the staff were. Lots of them plan to visit again!
We also want to say thank you for helping us plan the day. We had half an idea of what we wanted - a simple ceremony at 23 Montrose Street followed by a small, informal gathering of family and friends for a meal and then a big ceilidh at night. But you really helped us bring it all together. We liked how flexible everything was, including the menus, which gave us the chance to make the day our own. We loved we could bring in our own fizz and wine and pay corkage. It meant our champagne reception in the restaurant was a real highlight.
Nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. We brought in lots of our own fresh flowers, confetti and fairy lights and had favours for the tables. All of that was taken care of by the staff and presented perfectly. The National Piping Centre also represents exceptional value for weddings. We managed to achieve our perfect day ...all within budget.
We honestly cannot think of a thing we would change. We have many happy memories of the day which will stay with us forever.
Our sincerest thanks for everything .
