Civic House: A unique, industrial wedding venue in Glasgow

Offering a true blank canvas for couples to put their personal stamp on their wedding day, Civic House provides the perfect blend of urban, raw aesthetics with modern sustainability features. With its natural light-flooded spaces, original exposed materials and flexible layout, this fantastic venue is ideal for both intimate and large-scale weddings.

A historical venue with a sustainable future

Rich in history, the venue was previously known as Civic Press, a print works from the 1920s. However, since 2018, the building has been lovingly refurbished to expertly balance its industrial past with an earth-friendly approach.

In 2021, the venue completed a Passivhaus retrofit project, decreasing its energy needs and generating electricity via solar panels. As one of Scotland’s first energy-positive post-industrial spaces, Civic House is ideal for sustainably minded couples searching for an eco-friendly wedding venue.

Due to their sustainable design and innovative redevelopment, Civic House was awarded Silver for Architecture: Retrofit at The Scottish Design Awards in 2023.

With a blank canvas, versatile vision in mind, Civic House has been designed to offer couples the opportunity to create a truly one-of-a-kind wedding experience. From intimate ceremonies surrounded by rustic textures to vibrant parties with eclectic decor, this venue can be fully tailored to any vision.

Bathed in natural light, all spaces within Civic House offer flexibility on decor, seating arrangements and entertainment, and as its original features have been left exposed, a sense of history and character is added to every wedding.
