Rehearsal Dinner
Thursday, 5:30 - 8:30pm
The Spence at Gleneagles Townhouse
Edinburgh, Scotland
We're excited to host our close family for an intimate dinner in Edinburgh on Thursday before we head to the venue on Friday for the weekend of festivities with all our guests. Please let us know if you'll be able to attend directly, as this event is invite only and not listed on the RSVP form.
The Spence is located in one of our favorite splurge hotels, Gleneagles Townhouse. Now a luxury hotel, the historic building was initially built as a grand mansion for the Earl of Dalhousie in 1781, and later transformed into the British Linen Company headquarters.
​
Please note this is an adults-only event. There is a highly recommended childcare service called Little Royals that can babysit in hotels and comes highly recommended.
