Wedding Evening Receptions
Evening Wedding Party & Function Suite in Glasgow's Southside
Whether you’ve been married abroad and want to celebrate closer to home, or you’re getting married at a registry office and are looking for a wedding reception venue, we have the perfect package for an evening of celebrating with your loved ones.
Our evening-only wedding reception is a more relaxed alternative to a full wedding day, giving you the freedom to make the celebration your own. Unlike our other wedding packages, which include a ceremony and sit-down meal, our Evening Reception Celebration Package is designed as a post-ceremony party.
Enjoy a drinks reception, buffet and dancing, and make the most of golden-hour evenings on our south-facing, fairy-lit balcony. Exclusive to you and your guests, it’s the perfect spot to relax, spend time together and celebrate your special day.
Located in Glasgow’s Southside, our evening wedding reception package lets the party continue until 1am, before you retire to our luxurious Buchanan Honeymoon Suite.
Wedding Spaces Included In Your Package
Our Evening Reception Celebration Package gives you and your guests exclusive use of our Busby Suite and fairy-lit balcony for a sparkling evening reception. You’ll also be able to make use of our landscaped gardens for beautiful photos.
Your guests are welcome to make the most of the hotel’s modern bedrooms to stay over and continue the celebration, and our stunning Buchanan Honeymoon Suite is included in your package, for a luxurious first night as newlyweds. You’ll also get early access to the Honeymoon Suite from 12.30pm so you can take your time getting ready with your wedding party, soak in the excitement and get those all-important photos.
