The Balmoral Unveils A Modern Day Fairytale

One of the world's top wedding locations - Rocco Forte's The Balmoral - is celebrating its outstanding success in hosting Edinburgh's most sensational weddings, by launching "A Modern Day Fairytale".

An increasing demand for a glamorous marriage in a truly romantic setting has contributed to The Balmoral's success in attracting weddings - the landmark property enjoyed a 30 per cent rise in the average spend per wedding in 2006. The Balmoral was also named best wedding hotel and top third wedding location in the world in The Independent's Guide to the 50 Best Wedding Locations last April.

"A Modern Day Fairytale" will be unveiled at The Balmoral's exclusive Wedding Showcase on Sunday, 25 March. "A Modern Day Fairytale" encapsulates the essence of a Balmoral wedding, which includes 10 glamorous banqueting suites with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle, Michelin-starred cuisine, an award-winning Sommelier, a dedicated and professional Wedding Planner, and the utmost attention-to-detail.

The Balmoral has also created bespoke wedding services, including:
  • "Thai-ing the Knot" - Ytsara at The Balmoral Spa offers a fabulous range of pure, organic bridal spa packages for the Bride, Groom, Mother of the Bride and Bridesmaid, and is the ultimate retreat for an "all-girls get-together"

  • Decadent Wedding Night - accommodation in a luxury suite, a romantic "Rose Petal Turndown", a unique Bath Butler Experience, or Personal Butler Service

  • Five-star Kids at The Balmoral - a range of customised children's programmes for families who are attending a Balmoral Wedding

  • Scotland's Best Concierge Team - the award-winning Concierge Team will arrange a host of pre and post wedding activities

  • Rocco Forte Honeymoons - The Balmoral will assist with a Honeymoon Booking in a luxury Rocco Forte Hotel
"A Modern Day Fairytale" is captured in the hotel's brand new wedding brochure, which presents the unique qualities that truly set The Balmoral apart as Scotland's top wedding venue.
