OpeningBell Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 So I've looked online to find a list of places that have a wedding venue licence within Shetland. A lot of nice places... BUT..... No beach wedding options. This is surprising and makes me sad. If beach wasn't an option, I was hoping to be able to be married in a barn... but again, there are none that I've found within Shetland that have the licence. I'm not missing something, am I? This is the list of wedding venues allowed, according to SIC:Baltasound Hotel, Baltasound, Unst, ZE2 9DS Bonhoga Gallery, Weisdale Mill, Weisdale Braewick Cafe, Eshaness, ZE2 9RS Burrastow House, Walls, ZE2 9PDBusta House Hotel, Brae, ZE2 9QN.Easthouse, Duncansclate, Burra, ZE2 9LEEshaness Community Centre, Braehoulland, Eshaness, ZE2 9RSIsbister Public Hall, Isbister, Whalsay, ZE2 9AJMeadowvale, Exnaboe, Virkie, ZE3 9JSShetland Museum and Archives, Hay's Dock, Lerwick, ZE1 0WPSound Public Hall, Lerwick, ZE1 0RQSumburgh Hotel, Sumburgh, ZE3 9JNSymbister Public Hall, Symbister, Whalsay, ZE2 9AAThe Moorfield Hotel, Brae, ZE2 9UXWesthall, Lower Sound, Lerwick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashBox Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) A couple came up to Shetland last year to marry on Norwick Beach on Unst. Unfortunately, the weather very much put a stop to that idea and they ended up marrying at Saxa Vord. Was covered by The Shetland Times.

MuckleJoannie Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yes I was going to say organising a beach wedding in Shetland is tempting fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted February 7, 2018 Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 A few folk have had beach weddings in Shetland, one at St Ninian's Isle a few years back, and I think someone married at Spiggie more recently..... Choose summer, have a 'Plan B' - like a small marquee, nearby building, etc, and its do-able. As I understand it, you can get married anyplace you feel like, with the owner's permission, and if the SIC decree they're willing to issue a licence for it. I think I'm right in saying at least one couple, possibly more, have been married in Scalloway Castle....and lacking a roof, that's not really all that more risky than a beach, as long as its summer......
