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.
