Òran Mór Wedding Blog

After a tinder match (which was actually a secret until the night of the hen) and a date to the Zoo, Lynsay and Cronan were pretty much inseparable. The couple moved in together after only 4 months and feeling lost after a holiday without each other, the couple began to discuss marriage. Lynsay Nixon got […]

From the very first time I met Joanne and Jim it was clear to me that we were going to get on like a house on fire. I love working with couples throughout their wedding journey – it’s my favourite part of my job and I can confidently say that by the end of our […]

In December 2017 I received a phone call from Mr & Mrs MacRitchie who were helping on the wedding venue hunt for their newly engaged daughter Susan. The enquiry caught my eye instantly as Susan’s dad’s name was in fact Jim MacRitchie, very similar to my late grandfather’s name Jim Ritchie. Turns out the family […]

There is literally so much to talk about when it comes to Laura and Colin Somerville’s wedding planning journey, but I have tried to narrow it down to just over one thousand words. The first contact I received from the new Mr & Mrs Sommerville was from Laura’s mum Kim, who was getting the ball […]

Kate Dunn got in contact with me in August last year enquiring about availability for our Gallery & Private Dining Room. Kate and fiancé Glen were looking to have an intimate wedding ceremony and wedding breakfast in Òran Mór for around 17 guests in the following January. The couple were then looking to exclusively hire […]

Harriet & Jamie’s enquiry was a little bit different from most, as they were looking to get married in a registry office with only their close family. Although they were looking for an intimate ceremony they were still keen to host a large wedding reception with a three course wedding breakfast and drinks package for […]

Rhianna Norman got in contact in January 2018 looking for a venue for her Winter Wedding. Rhianna and Andrew were looking to get married in January 2019 and although Òran Mór with its West End location was the perfect venue to get married, with the majority of guests travelling through from Dollar for the big […]

In December 2017 a very excited couple named Pamela and Graeme visited the venue after returning home from travelling. Graeme had popped the question to long term girlfriend Pamela on their travels and the couple couldn’t wait to start wedding planning.

Natalie and Kevin visited the venue in September 2017 and loved our unique Auditorium instantly. They then returned to see the venue another couple of weeks later at our April Wedding Fayre. At this point the couple voiced their concerns about the size of the venue, layout and how everything was going to come together. […]

I really don’t know where to start with this blog… there is literally so much to talk about. Not only did this couple put an exceptional amount of planning into their wedding day, for their guests who had travelled from all over the country, but their story is completely unique and I can’t wait to […]

Lucy and Calum married on Friday 12th of October 2018 on a cloudy rainy day in Glasgow, but with a stunning 19th century church as your wedding venue, surrounded by stunning stained glass windows, upper lighting and modern art  – who needs good weather? On the lead up to the wedding day, I had met […]
