The National Trust for Scotland’s Pollok House has the perfect wedding package for budget-conscious couples – a spectacular setting at a sensible price.

The magnificent historic house is now offering a civil ceremony package for just £1500.

This includes a civil ceremony held in the elegant pavilion library, under the gaze of two El Greco masterpieces, a champagne reception with canapés and the opportunity to have Pollok House as a fabulous background for photographs, offering both grand interiors and lavish formal gardens. The couple would then move on to an alternative venue for their evening reception.

A typical exclusive wedding for up to seventy five guests at Pollok House costs between £5000 and £8000.

The magnificent historic house is a real gem, hidden away in a wooded country park, close to the world-famous Burrell Collection, just a few miles from Glasgow city centre.

This 18th-century building, once home to the Maxwell family, was extended around 1900, and is now regarded as one of Scotland’s grandest Edwardian country houses.

Rebecca Wakeford, National Hospitality Coordinator, said:

“In a slowing economy, the National Trust for Scotland offers fantastic value for money. What’s more, by choosing a Trust venue you will also be helping Scotland’s largest conservation charity protect the nation’s natural and cultural heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.

“No matter which option a couple chooses, they and their guests will enjoy a first class venue, careful attention to detail and a commitment to ensuring this day is everything they dreamed it would be.”
