Look After Your Guests

Many of our wedding ceremonies and receptions at Burnhouse are destination weddings. And inviting guests to a destination wedding in Scotland is a little different than inviting them to a ceremony in your home town. Where will they stay? What will they do?

Below is a little checklist which may be useful.

• Make sure they know your ‘itinerary of events’, so that they know when to arrive
• Suggestions of airport to fly into if they are coming a distance – Prestwick and Glasgow Airport are both within half and hour.
• Directions from airport and the main roads to the Hotel and to nearby towns and villages with hotels and other accommodation if needed – download our area maps and directions here
• List of suggested hotels and accommodation, with contacts for making reservations – we can help you put this together if needed
• Information about who to contact if there are any problems
• A list of things to do in the area, if your guests are here for a while – again see our activities, touring and local area pages, which you can print off and send to them.
• Information on the typical weather, and suggestions for attire, both for the wedding itself, and for the time they are in the area.

How do you put this together for your guests?  A good idea is to firstly send their invitation, then a few days later mail out your ‘Guest Guide’. Most guests will really appreciate the information - and be less worried about how they received it!

We are also happy to advise re favours, gift mementos and other little touches your guests will appreciate on what will be a memorable visit to Burnhouse Manor.
