For all you bagpipe lovers out there—Venachar Lochside is the perfect spot to have a bagpiper during your wedding reception. The loch, the stunning views, the sound of the waves, and the bagpipes singing over it all—it's pure magic. We’ve thankfully had no bagpipers fall in yet, but James from @harmonybagpiping is always testing his sea legs on the jetty when the waves pick up!
Add that iconic Scottish touch to your big day with a bit of adventure on the side!

Here's how we approach the photo frame question.
Do you fill your venue with photos or just decorations? It’s definitely about balance! We highly recommend having photo frames around your wedding venue, especially when they showcase meaningful photos, memories, loved ones who have passed, and moments that many of your guests will remember.
Make the most of your photos by telling a story—perhaps create a timeline starting with when you first met, followed by your 4th date, then the day you got the keys to your house, and when your dog came along, etc. The only thing we suggest avoiding is overfilling your venue with photos. Choose your images wisely, and place them creatively around the venue so that guests can interact with them, making the experience much more meaningful.
We absolutely love seeing images of you (the couple), your family, friends, and any funny moments from your lives!
