Andrew and Sashal had their wedding at the Corinthian – this is what they said….
Stuart is an absolute gentleman and an incredible photographer. He went above and beyond before, during, and after the wedding to provide the best possible service:
Pre-wedding ⦁ Met with us multiple times to discuss attendance lists, the order of events, the venue etc. ⦁ Was happy to provide advice / opinions on other elements of the wedding if we asked (e.g. cake, flower vendor recommendations etc.) ⦁ Sent frequent wedding inspiration ideas ⦁ Was able to show us previous wedding shots he had already taken in our venue
Wedding ⦁ Helped with finishing touches ⦁ Set the guests at ease ⦁ Stayed late to get some final shots
Post-wedding ⦁ Beautiful, high-quality photos ⦁ Fast turn-around time
We couldn’t have asked for more. Booking 1500 Photography will be one of the best choices you make while planning your wedding.

Why The Corinthian is perfect for weddings
Architectural Beauty Inside and out, the Corinthian is a showstopper. Soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork, marble pillars — it’s a dream backdrop for wedding photography. Every space has its own character, from the intimate “Lairds Room” to the sweeping grandeur of “The Flying Scotsman.”
Different Spaces for Every Kind of Wedding
Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony for 20 or a reception for 200, The Corinthian has a room to match your vision. Each space is beautifully designed, with its own personality and atmosphere. But with one thing in common. Glamour.
Central Glasgow Location
Located right in the heart of the city, The Corinthian is easy for guests to reach, surrounded by hotels, transport links, and plenty of post-wedding nightlife. Whether your guests want to make a weekend of it or hop on the last train home, it’s convenient for everyone.
An Experienced Wedding Team
Tabetha and her team know how to make weddings run seamlessly. They’re detail-focused, flexible with packages, and genuinely passionate about making your day as stress-free as possible.
Atmosphere and Style The Corinthian feels luxurious without being stuffy. There’s a buzz about the place — the kind of energy that makes you feel like you’re somewhere special. If you’ve never been, I recommend popping in for lunch or a cocktail to soak in the atmosphere – there is always a buzz about the place.
Photography at The Corinthian
The Corinthian is a photographer’s playground. I love making use of:
The iconic staircase with dramatic lighting
The intricate ceiling details in the main hall
The boutique rooms for intimate, relaxed portraits
The front façade for a true “city wedding” vibe
Candid moments in the lounge and reception areas
Even on a rainy Glasgow day, there are countless indoor backdrops to work with — so you never need to worry about the weather spoiling your photos. A stunning wedding can be shot without leaving the footprint of the building.
Frequently Asked Questions – Weddings at the Corinthian
Q: What ceremony and reception spaces does The Corinthian offer? The Corinthian has a range of stunning spaces for your day. For intimate ceremonies, Mercer & Langley rooms are elegant and private, while The Flying Scotsman is perfect for a grand celebration with a big guest list. You can host your ceremony and reception in the same space or move between rooms for a natural flow to the day.
Q: How many guests can The Corinthian accommodate? The capacity depends on the room you choose. Smaller rooms can comfortably host 20–50 guests for a ceremony, while the largest spaces can welcome over 100 for a reception or evening party. The wedding team will help you choose the perfect room for your numbers and style.
Q: What’s it like for guests travelling to a city centre wedding? One of the biggest advantages of The Corinthian is its central location. It’s minutes from Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations, close to bus links, and within walking distance of several hotels. There is the Mercure next door (popular for bridal prep) and a host of hotels within post disco walking distance. Guests can easily stay overnight or head home by train or taxi — perfect if you’ve got a mix of locals and out-of-towners.
Q: Are there good photo locations at The Corinthian? Absolutely. The Corinthian is a photographer’s dream — from the dramatic staircases and ornate ceilings to the intimate corners and the grand façade outside. We can capture everything from wow-factor portraits to relaxed moments without having to leave the venue. If you want a few city shots, Merchant City is right on the doorstep.
Q: What happens if the weather isn’t great? It’s Glasgow — we plan for sunshine and prepare for rain! Thankfully, The Corinthian’s interiors are so spectacular that you won’t miss outdoor shots. Between the grand staircase, high ceilings, and softly lit spaces, there are endless indoor backdrops that look incredible in any weather. Check the gallery above – I deliberately haven’t included any shots where the couple are outside of the building.
