Glasgow Wedding Venues We Love
Glasgow is home to some of the most unique and ceilidh-friendly wedding venues in Scotland — from industrial breweries to historic halls and elegant artistic spaces. Whether you're looking for a laid-back dancefloor or a dramatic backdrop for your Strip the Willow, here are a few of our top picks:
Cottiers
A converted church in Glasgow’s West End, Cottiers offers dramatic stained-glass windows, a cosy bar, and a flexible event space with a stage and wooden floor — ideal for dancing. Its theatre-style layout and atmospheric lighting make it a great choice for ceilidhs that blend tradition with creativity.
These are just a few of Glasgow’s many incredible venues — and we’re always excited to bring a ceilidh to a new space. If you’re planning your wedding at any of these (or somewhere else entirely), we’d love to hear about it.

What Glasgow Couples Are Saying About Us
Brilliant ceilidh band! They built a fantastic atmosphere, and had us all up on our feet with a nice mix of classic and lesser known dances, which kept it really good fun. Great instruction on the dances too. Highly recommend Nightjar!!

We had Nightjar for our wedding and they were incredible!! We could not recommend them higher - they were brilliant to communicate with, and took a lot of stress out of the day. On the night, they were amazing - got everyone up and dancing throughout, and were really excellent. 5 stars all day long.

Nightjar Ceilidh Band are an amazing bunch of characters who play tunes with a rousing folk vibe with no twee to be found.

Amazing night at our dear friends’ Emily and Rosie’s wedding! Nightjar were class all night! Great MCing from Andrew during the ceilidh, and some epic tunes afterwards which ensured the dance floor was never empty! What a night!
