There are few Scottish wedding venues where the coastline plays such a defining role as at Marine North Berwick. Sitting on Scotland’s Golf Coast in East Lothian and looking out over the Firth of Forth, this coastal hotel offers a relaxed yet refined setting for couples planning a waterside wedding in Scotland.

Part of the Marine & Lawn collection, Marine North Berwick is renowned for its bright spaces, thoughtful design, and understated approach to luxury, making it an ideal choice for couples seeking a Scottish coastal wedding venue with character and flexibility.

Outdoor and indoor wedding ceremonies by the sea

For couples dreaming of an outdoor wedding ceremony in Scotland, the hotel’s walled garden (capacity: 120) is a standout feature. Sheltered and private, it offers a calm space that still feels connected to the coast, working particularly well for spring, summer and early autumn weddings.

Inside, the Fidra Suite (capacity: 120) is the hotel’s main wedding space. With floor-to-ceiling windows and uninterrupted sea views, it truly capitalises on its location. Natural light carries the room from the ceremony through to dinner and evening celebrations, while the wraparound terrace allows guests to step outside for drinks, photographs or a quiet moment overlooking the water. It’s a popular choice for couples looking for a modern wedding venue in East Lothian with a strong visual impact.

Intimate weddings and elopements in North Berwick

For smaller celebrations, the oak-panelled Library (capacity: 20) offers a more traditional setting. This warm, characterful and quietly elegant space is ideal for intimate weddings, elopements and private dinners focused on close family and friends. It’s perfect for couples who are drawn to a classic Scottish hotel wedding feel, but with an elevated touch.

Iconic coastal photography locations

North Berwick beach is just minutes from the hotel and is one of the area’s most recognisable wedding photography locations. From windswept shoreline portraits to softer, natural moments by the water, you don’t have to travel far to achieve stunning coastal shots. Combine this with the hotel’s sea-facing terraces and gardens, and couples have plenty of options for wedding photos in East Lothian.

A Scottish wedding weekend destination

Marine North Berwick is perfect for couples planning a full wedding weekend. Its position on Scotland’s Golf Coast makes it easy to host pre-wedding dinners, relaxed gatherings and next-day brunches, giving guests time to settle in and enjoy the area. It’s also a great option for couples planning a destination wedding in Scotland due to its easy accessibility from Edinburgh.

Spa, accommodation and guest experience

The hotel’s spa adds another layer to the wedding experience, with an indoor-outdoor hydropool, ice baths and ishga treatments inspired by the Hebrides. It’s perfect for pre-wedding downtime or post-celebration recovery for couples and guests alike.

Special accommodation rates are available for wedding parties, allowing friends and family to stay on site and enjoy the celebrations together. The hotel is also pet-friendly, so couples can include their four-legged companions in ceremonies, photographs and weekend plans.
