As You Like It Wedding Planners

GLENCORSE OLD KIRK

Nestled in the foothills of the Pentlands stands Glencorse Old Kirk - the most romantic setting imaginable for a wedding ceremony. The Kirk stands in the grounds of Glencorse House, which offers a magnificent location for your reception. With its lush parkland, lake and verdant rhodedendrons, Glencorse offers an idyllic backdrop for stunning photography.

Glencorse Old Kirk dates back to the 17th century and the famous Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson worshiped there and indeed wrote about the Kirk and its woodland setting on a number of occasions -"If my spirit returns to earth it will be found wandering through Glencorse Woods or sitting on the old bridge at Glencorse Kirk, the finest spot on earth". The Kirk has recently been restored by its present owners and can accommodate up to 100 people for a wedding ceremony.

Wedding ceremonies take place in the Old Kirk and then it is just a short walk down to the main house and marquee. Wedding receptions take place in the lovely new marquee, which is situated on the lawns adjacent to the house. It is beautifully lined and furnished, and is bright and airy with a feature bay window.

The owners and caterers provide a very personal service, far removed from the usual hotel package - their overriding wish being that every aspect of your wedding day is as special and memorable as possible.
