Signet Library
Hi, welcome to the Signet Library.
Come on inside and I'll show you around.
So this is the Low library, and it's still a fully working law library, and this is where you'd have your ceremony.
You've just said, I do, and this is where you sign the register. It gives you that intimate moment to let it sink in before you rejoin your guests.
Following your wedding ceremony, we would invite you and your guests out to the main staircase for a group photograph. That allows us that moment to turn around the room and welcome you back inside for your drinks and Canopy Reception.
It's also the staircase that you would take, which leads you up to the upper library for your wedding breakfast.
So in terms of picture opportunities, we are perfectly located. We're on the Royal Mile with just a short walk to Edinburgh Castle and to Carleton Hill.
So following your wedding breakfast, we would invite you and your guests back downstairs to enjoy tea, coffee, and your cutting of your cake. Meanwhile, we'll stay upstairs and turn around the room ready for your evening reception and your dancing."
