About the venue

A farm steading wedding near Kingsbarns

Wedding weekend tips

Before you book

Book as soon as you have the invite

St Andrews weekends fill up early, especially in summer and around university graduations, so search your dates as soon as you know them.

Think about bathrooms, not just beds

On a wedding morning, a house with several bathrooms makes getting ready far easier than one with lots of bedrooms.

Plan the journey home

Taxis get booked up on wedding nights. Book your return trip early, or check whether the couple has arranged transport.

Leave room for outfits

Garment bags, gifts and flowers take space. Larger homes with hallways and utility rooms keep everything organised.
