FAQs

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Question

Is there parking at the venue?

Answer

There is some parking at the venue but this is limited.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the ceremony?

Answer

We have booked a coach to pick guests up from Waverley Station at 12:45pm on Sunday, July 20th. Take the exit for Market Street at Waverley Station and turn right. The coach pick-up location will be opposite to the Motel One Edinburgh Royal. After the reception, the coach will pick guests up at Newhall Estate at midnight with drop-off at Waverley Station. As parking is limited, booking a taxi is also an option. If traveling by taxi to and from the venue, it is strongly recommended to pre-book your taxi for departure from the reception at a set time as trying to book a taxi after the reception may be difficult. Guests not residing at the venue will need to depart at midnight.
