Traquair House Scotland
Dreamy, period drama style, LGBTQ+ friendly wedding venue near Edinburgh, Scotland
Looking for a venue for your Queer wedding in 2026-2027, Scotland?
​
You are looking for a place for your small, intimate wedding in Scotland that will transport you into a period drama like Pride and Prejudice or Atonement,
classy and timeless,
ending the day partying like Gatsby during the reception?
Perhaps with an LGBTQ+ plot-twist?
Traquair House
in the Scottish Borders is just
the place for you!
Perfect for a Winter-time cozy wedding with a fireplace during the ceremony,
a micro-ceremony in the middle of a maze,
or have Cupid himself witness your wedding in Cupid's garden,
Perhaps you want yew trees for an enchanted forest atmosphere...?
Traquair House got you covered, and this is not even all the locations where you can choose to have your ceremony/reception at the house.
There is truly something for everyone.
As a Queer Elopement and wedding photographer based in Scotland, I'm always on the lookout for venues that truly feel inclusive,
They are near my home city - Edinburgh,
and are easy for couples with the least amount of work.
Traquair is an amazing place to get married as it looks stunning just as it is - no need to plan and budget for elaborate decor.
Candles and some flowers help to add to the romance and magic, but there is no need to go overboard as the house already looks like you are on a movie set.
Wake up at the estate, get ready...
... and just walk a couple minutes to your ceremony and reception - no travel, no stress on your wedding day...
Slow and stress-free...
Emotional and authentic...
Frolic around the estate...
Cozy up in the library...
... a candlelit dinner that looks like this...
... and party like this...
Wild, free and full of love...
