💖 Balbirnie House started 2024 in the early hours of the 1st January by publishing 5 minutes of brand new celebratory footage, of many favourite photographs from recent years. You can read our blog about this via BEHIND THE LENS 4 - ONE VERY SPECIAL DAY AT A TIME and you can view the footage direct over on YouTube.
It is so very lovely to be starting a New Year with such happiness and joy. For those of us dedicated to delivering our absolute best hospitality and warmth of welcome of Scotland, it always means so very much to us all, to see each new day and the capturing of these special and unique photographic memories. All combining of course, into the most epic collection of historic archives as well. It is for this reason, that we very actively encourage all clients who do wish us to do so, to place the commemorative celebration of the day across the span of our social media.
We hope that for example 50 years from now, couples who are getting married today, will be returning to celebrate their Golden Weddings at Balbirnie House. An opportunity on that future day to look back at today's archives!
As part of the above film project we have created a further shortened edit aligned especially as a celebration of winter weddings at Balbirnie House.
You can view the further winter edit via: WEDDING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
Over the last 15 years or so, and as social media has evolved and accelerated, we have seen more and more incredible photography, additionally focused on the winter months as well. So much so, that we have many clients these days, who are only focused at outset on the joys of winter weddings. The fires are on, the Millennium Ballroom is candlelit for the wedding meal, and then we arrive at the wonders of evening photography opportunities.
The festive season is of course a further contemplation in itself. Christmas trees on the front steps, in the Long Gallery and Ballroom, and of course the halls are totally decked! Such a special time of year, with weddings taking place on all December weekends, on the very special days between Christmas and New Year, and at the start of the New Year as well.
Since 2021 onwards we have successfully offered Hogmanay itself as an opportunity for one Exclusive Use wedding (all bedrooms taken), and whilst Hogmanay 2024 is already similarly reserved, we do currently have Hogmanay 2025 available. (To provisionally reserve E: leah@balbirnie.co.uk)
It is especially on this accumulating and combined winter basis, that we have also actually recently made the move to recommend, that in-house ceremony timings move from what has always been 2pm, to 1pm instead. In the summer it simply allows for a further hour of celebrating, in the winter it allows for a further hour of celebrating, but also creates additional scope for 1 further hour of daylight photography as well.
And there's even more to highlight regarding the romance of winter. January is always the month that we receive the most enquiries for future weddings at Balbirnie House. Due of course, to all the festive season engagements.
Whilst we have very limited availability for 2024 weekends, special event dates can and do change, so please contact us for availability. (Worth mentioning as well, our wedding planners have created some totally unprecedented packaging, which has created scope for a few dates with Marvellous Midweek Exclusive Use, without the usual £2,500 Exclusive Use fee being applicable.)
We very much look forward to welcoming newly engaged couples to Balbirnie House.
All best wishes,
Nicholas
MD Balbirnie House
