Band:
Buena Vista Entertainment
Edinburgh,, UK"I used three acts from this company. A ceilidh band that guests gushed over, a clarsach harpist who was lovely and did a spectacular job with few instructions, and a bagpiper who very much looked the part and was good humoured. All were good value for money. Would recommend very highly."
Florist:
Dragonfly
52 West PortEdinburgh,, United Kingdom
"Did a perfect job with not only flowers but the whole look of the wedding: candles, potted plants in asthetic locations, pew-end decorations and sparkles on the table. Really provides the personal touch and the extra special touch on the look of the day. Only downside is the cost. You get what you pay for; the product is top quality."
Invitations Vendor:
Wedding Invitations.org.uk
Edinburgh,, UK"Excellent value for money. The most affordable stationary I found but also with individual personal, friendly service. I could call up with questions or problems. If you're not fussed about fancy stationary, this is a great choice for simple, nice stationary."
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
Thistledown Bridalwear
Edinburgh,, UK"Excellent service; beautiful, elegant, tasteful merchandise, and a pleasant atmosphere. The ladies were free with their advice and it was very good advice for tricky situations with bridesmaids of very different sizes on two continents. They made the process so easy it was a huge relief. Could not have found a better place and I have been to a few other bridal boutiques with friends."
Ceremony:
Craighouse
Craighouse RoadEdinburgh,, Scotland
"Couldn't have imagined a more beautiful and ideal location for ceremony and party. Plenty of space and a variety of space for the different needs of the day: ceremony, bar, banquet hall, dance hall. Was able to provide for the young guests and for the elderly guests. Provided excellent service. Gorgeous views of Edinburgh, close to the city centre. It had everything. Except an organ or piano."

"Most guests stayed here and it was a nice place with some individual service. Restaurant in the hotel meant we could all meet for meals. Lounge upstairs where we were served tea/coffee on request. Pampered with shortbread. Would recommend it."

"This is where we got engaged. A superb restaurant, a bit on the more expensive side, but the food is worth it. Will likely have a gas flame fire going in December."
Restaurant:
The Lot
4 GrassmarketEdinburgh, Scotland EH1 2
+44 (0)131 225 9924
"One of my favourite restaurants in Edinburgh. Does nice lunches, afternoon teas, and dinners. They use locally sourced food when possible and proceeds go to charity."

Winter Carnival, Princes Street Gardens
"Edinburgh hosts the Winter Carnival every Winter. Ferris Wheel right by the Scott Monument, a flying Dutchman, ice skating, mulled wine and cider, and plenty of food."
Attraction:
Grassmarket
"One of my favourite parts of Edinburgh. Cute little shops, nice pubs and cafes and restaurants."
Attraction:
People's Story of Edinburgh
163 CanongateEdinburgh, Scotland EH8 8
"A free museum of Edinburgh that I'd really recommend as an introduction to Edinburgh. Long-term residents would probably learn a lot too. Child friendly."
Walking opportunity:

"A slightly more formidable climb, but still doable in an afternoon with decent shoes."
Walking opportunity:
Salisbury Crags
"A more gentle walk with amazing view of the city. Might be a bit frigid in December."
