To help budding brides and grooms organise their perfect day, Macdonald Houstoun House Hotel, near Livingston, will be hosting a special festive Wedding Open Day on Sunday 12 January, showcasing its stunning wedding space, opulent suites and picturesque grounds.
As guests tour the facilities, they will be treated to a glass of Prosecco and will be able to sample a selection of canapes, along with having the chance to speak with local wedding suppliers.
Andrew Boe, general manager at Macdonald Houstoun House Hotel, said: “December is one of the most romantic times of the year for proposals, meaning hundreds of couples go into the new year with a wedding to plan. And with excitement rising, a lot of people don’t want to waste anytime planning the celebrations.
“Our team will be on hand to help all couples plan the perfect day, whether it is a lavish affair or an intimate ceremony.”
