Our marriage venues in East Lothian
Our team of friendly, helpful Registrars are on hand to guide you through getting married in East Lothian and can carry out your special ceremony in one of our two historic venues: The Adam Room, Haddington, and The Council Chamber, Dunbar Town House - or in a venue of your choice.
The Adam Room - marriage venue in Haddington
A unique county town's heritage in Scotland
Marriage ceremonies are held in The Adam Room in Haddington’s former Sheriff Court dating from 1833. The building is on the site of the medieval Royal Palace of Haddington that existed from the 12th to the 13th century. It was the birthplace of King of Scots Alexander II in 1198 who reigned from 1214 to 1249. The palace was also an occasional residence of his father William I (The Lion). Today the building is part of East Lothian Council’s headquarters and echoes of its historic past can be seen all around.
