Union Kirk – Aberdeen Wedding Venue

An old church gone rogue

June 2024 was my first visit to Union Kirk, and boy is it an amazing wedding venue.

Union Kirk started its life as a kirk, as the name suggests, but it has been a few things over its time before it became a wedding venue.

Perhpas you’ve been in it when it was a casino, that’s the last time I was in it many years ago.

Are you just starting out planning your wedding and looking for the right venue?

We’ll let me take you to a venue that’s perfect for weddings – Union Kirk, right in the middle of Aberdeen.

From breathtaking stained-glass windows. to the soaring vaulted ceiling and intricate cornicing, every detail whispers of its rich history.

Your guests will enter through the arched entrance and onto the grand staircase into the venue space.

The first time I entered the whole space, light entering through the stained glass window and the seating took my breath away, and that was seeing it before all the decor was in place.

A perfect, stunning backdrop for your wedding pictures.

So let’s have a look at Union Kirk and why its a stunning wedding venue in Aberdeen.

a unique and modern setting

The room where your ceremony is held is stunning and can hold up to 300 guests.

It’s large, bright and filled with beautiful backdrops and stained glass windows, perfect for those photos.
