If you’re dreaming of a wedding that’s meaningful, relaxed, and a little different to everyone else’s, come and explore our unique seaside spaces at this special summer showcase.
We’re opening our doors, and our coastline, to couples looking for an alternative to the traditional wedding venue. Whether you’re planning something small and heartfelt, a second celebration of love, or a coastal elopement with a few close people, this is your chance to see it all in person.

Start at The Battery
Begin your visit at Dunbar Battery, just a short stroll from the Chapel. With panoramic sea views and the sound of the waves in the background, this dramatic harbourside space is a stunning setting for outdoor ceremonies and relaxed drinks receptions. We’ll welcome you with a drink and some delicious canapés while you chat to our brilliant local partners:

  • The Good Table Catering Company, on hand to talk food that’s full of flavour and soul
  • A celebrant from Fuze Ceremonies, ready to share ideas for ceremonies that reflect you

Then Meander to the Chapel
After taking in the coastal views, stroll through the harbour and step inside The Harbour Chapel, our lovingly restored former church, full of original features, rich textures, and atmospheric lighting. It’s a space that doesn’t need dressing up, but for this event, we’ve teamed up with the talented team at Ambience Venue Styling to help you visualise just how personal and beautiful your day here could look.

Whether you’re planning a small, heartfelt ceremony or a sit-down meal for up to 80 of your favourite people, the Chapel offers an intimate, characterful setting with room to dance the night away (up to 120 evening guests). And if the Scottish weather turns? It’s a stunning and soulful indoor backup that never feels like second best.

Meet the People Behind the Magic
We know that planning a wedding is personal, so we’re keeping things relaxed and real. Our small, friendly team will be there to chat through your ideas, answer questions, and help you imagine how your day could unfold, no scripts, no sales pitch, no pressure.

You’ll also meet some of our most trusted local creatives:

  • Our elopement wedding photographer, who knows exactly how to capture those quiet, genuine moments in all the best spots around the venue.
  • A brilliant local cake maker, florist, and our resident DJ, all handpicked for their style, professionalism, and down-to-earth approach. We love working with them and we hope you will too.

If you’re looking to build a wedding team that feels right for you, we’ve brought a few of the good ones along to say hello.

This is a relaxed, drop-in event — ideal if you’re:

✔ Exploring wedding options with flexibility and personality
✔ Looking for a venue that feels meaningful without the fuss
✔ Planning something small, soulful, or a little bit different
✔ Interested in ethical, local suppliers and creative ideas

Come with questions, come with your partner (or your pals), and come see what’s possible. We’d love to meet you.

There is no need to book a time to attend our wedding showcase, just drop in between 11am and 3pm and you’ll be welcomed. We do however ask that you let us know you are attending, simply so that we can ensure there’s enough food and drink to go around everyone.

Please let us know you’re in by booking here! (please book a place for every guest attending with you).
