This is not just about us—this is about you. It’s about your relationships and your rest. It’s an opportunity to disconnect from the major stressors in life and fill that space with laughter and food and beautiful things. We don’t want to be rushing from table to table, moment to moment. We want to be in one relaxing, continuous moment together that connects the people who have helped shape our relationship and our lives.

Yes! On September 1st we will be hosting a Kick-Off Happy Hour in Glasgow, and we will have a welcome dinner when we arrive at Dunskey Estate on September 2nd.

For the Happy Hour, we’d love to have you join us at Waxy O’Connor’s, an event venue about 1/2 mile from Blythswood Square. This will be a decidedly casual affair. Just come as you are from your travels or exploration of this great city. We’ll provide small bites from around Scotland, but you are welcome to order a heartier meal and drinks from the bar at your own expense.

The cost will be £1250 (about $1500) per adult, paid directly to the venue. This amount includes your room at the Estate, two meals per day plus snacks prepared by a Chef hailing from a Michelin Star restaurant, and several group activities. Of course, the grooms will cover food and drink during the wedding celebration itself. Add extra to this budget for alcohol ordered from the bar and activities like massages, deep sea fishing, or golf. Dunskey Estate will be in touch with prices for specific additional activities. It is not a small amount of money, but remember, it will just be us and our guests at this 2,000 acre private estate for all 4 days.

We have confirmed that payment plans are available through Dunskey Estates, and may be arranged via communication from the venue following confirmation of your attendance via RSVP. We will let you know any additional information (like when and how to get this payment to the venue) once we know more.

We know that this is a large financial commitment, and aim to have it be a fantastic experience for everyone involved. We also understand if you are not able to commit to this expense at this time. We are looking into options to livestream the ceremony - please stay tuned.

It’s not fancy, but as the Scots might say, think “McFahnsay”. For he/hims, polos and short-sleeved button downs are an easy choice. On the wedding day, jackets and ties are requested, and suits are strongly preferred. For she/hers, we trust you to take your cues from the he/him recommendations, though fascinators on wedding day will be greatly admired

On the shoe front, flip-flops are discouraged due to the ruggedness of the terrain. Stiletto heels are prohibited on the estate at all times.

For more details, please see the General Attire and Wedding Attire sections on the Wedding Day Questions page.

Rooms will be assigned at one of several glamorous locales, including beautifully appointed rooms in the Manor, as well as lodges located throughout the Estate. You can indicate your preference when you receive the accommodations form from the venue after submitting your RSVP. Your selected room type is well noted, but is not a reservation.

There are so many things! The Activities page will give you an overview. More information will be provided as the merry days approach.

So much food! Have you met us? We’ll share two meals a day together as a community, as well as snacks and tea service midday. The costs are included with your reservation. There will be wine service with dinner and a cash bar available all day. Lunches will be on your own.

Of course, the grooms will cover food and drink during the wedding celebration itself.

Sadly, no. The number of guests is strictly limited by the licenses that Dunskey Estate maintains with the government. There is no practical or affordable way to add guests for either lodging or meals, nor the wedding event itself.

You’re welcome to bring your children (under 18) with you, however, there is an additional charge (TBD). Please note a few additional specifications:

Lodging

Children will need to share the room with parents. We can work with Dunskey Estate to provide suitable sleeping arrangements.

Meals

For meals, younger children will eat before the adults in the farm kitchen so parents can enjoy an adult dinner.

Nanny Service

There will be nanny service available for additional charge (TBD) and that cost can be split amongst families. So staying up late and sleeping in is totally possible even WITH kids!

Of course, if you’d prefer to leave your kids to spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa, we won’t judge!

Be sure to bring an adaptor with you to convert from US plugs to UK Type G Outlets. You can buy Amazon’s choice here which includes both plug adapters and USB connections. You do not need to bring an iron or a hair dryer as this will be available at the Estate.

Running a Room Tab

Breakfast, brunch, dinners, and snacks are all included, and the grooms will cover food and drink during the wedding celebration itself. There will be a couple of times where drinks are provided with a meal, but other times you will be able to run a tab on your room for beverages. Your activities and any add-ons you may have selected will be added to this tab as well. That final charge will be settled directly with the Estate.

Email, if you need text reminders too, please let us know!
