New Lanark provides you with several choices of location to hold your wedding ceremony. The New Lanark Mill Hotel has elegant function rooms of varying size, which, being high on the 5th floor of Mill No Two, enjoy fantastic views over either the River Clyde or the conservation village. Also suitable for the ceremony, the historic Musicians’ Room, Gallery Room and River Room are housed within the Institute for the Formation of Character. In this building Robert Owen established progressive education for the villagers, including the first infant school in the world.

New Lanark World Heritage Village will provide you with a glorious setting in which to have your wedding photographs taken. Whether it’s the 18th century Georgian mills of New Lanark, the delightful garden of Robert Owen’s House or the River Clyde, all provide a dramatic and romantic backdrop for images of your special day.

While you are having your photographs taken you know your guests will be enjoying a warm welcome at the New Lanark Mill Hotel. Having walked up the red carpet, through our beautiful floral archway, perhaps accompanied by the sound of the bagpipes, they will enjoy arrival drinks. Canapés or nibbles are also available if you wish. Drinks may also be served in the garden of Robert Owen’s House, depending on the weather.

If you decide to book one of our four wedding packages we will provide a Master of Ceremonies to announce the wedding breakfast and accompany you and your guests upstairs. You can decide if you would like to greet your guests formally and when you would like the cutting of the cake and speeches to take place. The day will be arranged exactly as you wish.

The impressive restored mills of this riverside village provide several delightful rooms for your wedding breakfast. Each room has retained something of its 18th century character creating the perfect setting for a delicious meal with family and friends. Our menus are prepared using only the finest produce and make full use of what is available to us locally. Our friendly and efficient staff will ensure your guests receive excellent service.

For your Evening Reception we can offer you various options: the Robert Owen Room within the New Lanark Mill Hotel has its own dance floor or the Institute’s Gallery Room and Musicians’ Room are suitable for a large scale traditional Ceilidh. A selection of buffet menus is available for both.

Each wedding is tailored to meet your exact requirements. We are happy to give you advice and guidance, but final decisions are made by you, so we can help to make it the most memorable day of you life.
