WEDDING AND EVENT DESIGN – INSPIRATION, IDEAS AND ABSOLUTE GORGEOUSNESS

Meredith — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 12:15:17 +0000

We love innovative and unusual event design – because our spaces are so well-suited to unique ideas that really make the occasions held here individual, beautiful and memorable. And even though our most spectacular spaces are steeped in historic charms, when dressing for dinner we do like to be on trend. So we’re always looking out for sources of fresh inspiration… and we’ve found it in spades in the very first issue of an absolutely gorgeous online event design magazine called fête.

The issue is (homemade) jam-packed with ideas for all tastes, styles and budgets – but all have to pass co-creators Annabelle Kerslake and Jane Cameron’s ‘time-poor test’; everything has to be easy, accessible and authentic. We think we’re being spoilt with loveliness.

WE’RE FEELING THE LOVE

Did you say ‘yes’ on Valentine’s Day? We are just as excited as you to start planning your beautiful wedding in our historic hidden gem!

The Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh is one of the most unusual and undiscovered of the Unique Venues of Edinburgh – a quality that translates into an individually handcrafted experience for you and your guests. And we’ve certainly had a romantic start to 2012, with lots of eager young couples coming round the College, chatting to our Events team and visualising just what their special day might be. Have a look at our wedding pages, then contact us and we would be delighted to show you round.

LORNA & JAMIE – WINTER WEDDING IN THE NEW LIBRARY

Meredith — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:22:58 +0000

Lorna and Jamie’s winter wedding provided the ideal opportunity for Roseparks, one of our recommended florists, to create a beautiful display blending perfectly into the ambience of the surroundings.

We have recently completed an upgrade in the Great Hall to our lighting, system control and audio, sensitively implemented by Audio Light Systems. Modernising our facilities but carefully preserving the historic surroundings. http://www.avinteractive.com/news/37126/royal-college-of-physicians-of-edinburgh-completes-upgrade-of-historic-great-hall

CHANGE AT THE RCPE, WITH OUR NEW WEBSITE GOING LIVE…

Fiona — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 12:13:16 +0000

Buried in the main College website the fantastic facilities at RCPE were a little lost and not really seen to their best advantage… so we developed this separate site to present the beautiful buildings as a venue.

The brief was to create a modern, dynamic but elegant design, referencing the historical setting. The design developed by our in-house graphic designer Meredith Wilkie and built by Ignite Your Brand, focusses on strong imagery by Gary Baker Photography and the easy navigation guides you through the pages.

We are delighted to launch the site on the 17th November 2011 at our Corporate Evening Event and look forward to helping our clients create truly magical events.

A SWORDFIGHT IN THE GREAT HALL

One of the more unusual and rather dramatic first dances at Tamsyn and Jamie’s wedding…

“Our scam of shuffling to Celene Dion for 32 seconds beforehand worked a
treat and everyone was suckered and had no idea anything was up until the swords
came out.

We’d both like thank the staff on the day and your efforts over the past few
months. The wedding went without a hitch and, unusually, if we had to do it
again we’d change nothing. Nothing at all. Your staff were exceptional. If I was
to say they were professional, friendly and in control it would only paint half
of the picture and if you were to point another couple in our direction we’d
sing (shout) your praises and recommend that they just go with whatever you
suggest! Thanks to you for making the day so special.” Tamsyn
