With beautifully manicured gardens and sweeping staircases, Pollok House offers the perfect setting for your fairytale wedding.

Whether your dream wedding is grand and sumptuous; intimate and relaxed; religious, civil, or humanist; we guarantee outstanding service and memories you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

As Pollok House offers a variety of wedding options, our Wedding Coordinator will always be on hand to offer friendly advice and support. This brochure provides a flavour of what is available at this extraordinary venue.

By celebrating your wedding at Pollok House you will be actively supporting the vital work of the National Trust for Scotland, one of Scotland’s leading conservation charities, and helping us to protect the nation’s natural and cultural heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.

Your arrival atPollok HouseA short drive through the estate’s picturesque country park leads to Pollok House, beautifully framed by its walled courtyard and gardens.

As you enter the grand Entrance Hall, lavishly decorated in marble, mahogany and bevelled glass, the sweeping double staircase guides you majestically to the principal rooms.

Surrounded by family portraits, classic busts and armorial shields, the Entrance Hall is bright, welcoming and ideal for greeting guests as they arrive at Pollok House.

Pavilion LibraryWithin Pollok House, wedding ceremonies are held in the Pavilion Library, probably the finest twentieth-century library in Scotland, containing over 7,000 books and manuscripts.

The Steinway concert grand piano holds pride of place in the room and has been played by many a famous pianist over the years to entertain guests and welcome brides down the aisle.

Occupying the whole of the eastern pavilion, this versatile room is framed by Ionic columns and adorned by some of Pollok’s most treasured paintings, including the famous El Greco masterpiece Lady in a Fur Wrap (c1577-9).

From the Library, French doors open on to the wonderfully manicured Parterre Garden, ideal for photographs, celebratory drinks and canapés or simply a relaxing stroll before being seated to dinner.

Maximum Capacity: 100 (75 for civil weddings)

Pollok House

Alan P FultonThe cake gets eaten, the flowers fade, the strains of the Bridal March die away, but the rings exchanged at a wedding last forever. Engagement and wedding bands are the enduring symbols of love and commitment and of a shared dream of what the future may be. So isn’t it fitting then that, instead of off-the-shelf baubles, wedding and engagement rings should be created for the individual couple?

ALAn P FuLton certainly believes so and in his studio and workshop in Eaglesham he personally hand forges every one of his rings. This renowned goldsmith is known across the UK for his craftsmanship and visionary designs. Customers regularly travel from all over the country to have engagement and wedding rings designed by him. He is recognised as a leading diamond expert as well as a master craftsman producing rings that will endure a lifetime of wear and still dazzle with their beauty and brilliance.

‘Some men like to surprise their girlfriends with a ring when they propose, but I would always counsel bringing her along to my studio instead for a proper design consultation,’ advises Alan. ‘A ring says so much about the wearer’s personality, and the success of the design can be affected by details such as the proportions of the hands, so involving a fiancée at the earliest possible stage is essential.’

As a graduate of Glasgow School of Art and with 30 years’ experience as a goldsmith and jeweller, Alan’s knowledge of and skills with jewels and precious metals is exceptional.

He may be skilled in very ancient techniques, but he is also at the cutting edge of fashion, working with coloured metals, experimenting with ring shapes and incorporating diamonds into his designs in new and innovative ways. ‘Bi-coloured bands, using two different kinds of precious metal, can look hugely effective and I’m also very much in favour of shaping wedding rings to fit exactly with the engagement ring,’ he says.
