3 reasons to have your wedding at Old Course Hotel
Although the hotel is popular with golfers – the golf isn’t the only attraction.
The hotel is situated in the town of St Andrews which is a beautiful and historic town, and overlooks the Old Course and West Sands beach, providing a wonderful backdrop for those all anticipated wedding photographs.
1. The Old Course Hotel has room sizes for every guestlist
The hotel has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment which has seen the expansion of our largest events space, The Hall of Champions which can now seat 450 for dinner.
The Conservatory, which is popular for wedding ceremonies has also been extended to allow capacity for up to 190 guests.
The refurbishment included new windows and glass doors on both ends, with steps to the surrounding grounds to ensure ease of access for drinks receptions.
2. Quiet, romantic escape for you and your partner
After all the excitement of the day you might want to steal away just the two of you to the new Penthouse Suite.
Featuring a private lift, balcony, outdoor sating, fire pit, fireplace and free-standing bath, all complemented by spectacular views across the West Sands, no better place to spend your first night as a married couple.
3. Bring your dream wedding to life at Old Course Hotel
What also sets Old Course Hotel, Golf Resort and Spa aside from other venues is the people that will be looking after you in the lead up to, and during your special day.
Your dedicated wedding planner will be there from the start to advise and help you create the day you’ve always dreamed of.
The food, wine, and design of the day can be as hands on or off as you want and you know that you are supported by a team that want you to have the day of your lives.
Once you have seen the venue, a menu tasting will be arranged so you can sample and choose the dishes you’d like to serve your guests.
The team of chefs make sure that the finest ingredients are selected from local producers and have created a range of menus, concepts and food led elements that showcase everything that is special and unique about food from Fife and the surrounding areas of Scotland.
Respect for the product, sustainability and provenance are just as important as the product itself, making for an eclectic mix of the traditional and innovative with some expected creative elements that sets the hotel apart.
