What visitors say
We had our wedding at Dovecot Studios and it was exceptional. I frequently visit the gallery for exhibitions and events, and felt very lucky to be able to get married in such a beautiful space. The weaving floor and the viewing balcony is an incredible space, from the lighting to the artwork, it's very special. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help us with our day. They put us at ease and made the whole process so easy which helped us enjoy the day. Everything was executed excellently and we can't thank Hannah, Alex and the team enough. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married in Edinburgh.

Great studio in central Edinburgh! Biba exhibition is informative, interesting and a wonderful review of fashion and more. The short video complements the display. Cute cafe and shop! Definitely recommend and will return-

Such a great venue for our event. I loved that you could see the weavers weaving. Everyone seemed to enjoy the catering and upstairs on the balcony was great for photos and networking whereas downstairs was super for our pitching event
