There are a number of charming venues across the University that can be used for wedding and civil partnership ceremonies. From the grandeur of St Salvator’s Chapel through to the impressive glamour of Upper and Lower College Hall, the University offers a choice of location for your wedding ceremony, reception or celebrations.

Ceremony venues

There are a number of locations across the University which are available for wedding and civil partnership ceremonies.

In order to get married within one of the University’s chapels, you must have a connection to the University or to the local area. This usually means that one or both members of a couple must be:

  • a current member of University staff
  • a current University student
  • a graduate of the University
  • a child or grandchild of a member of staff, student or graduate
  • a local resident (living at an address with a postcode starting KY16)
  • a current or past student at St Leonards School.

Wider access is occasionally allowed. For further information on who is eligible to marry in a University venue, please take a look at the University wedding guidelines.

There are a number of other venues which may be chosen as civil ceremony venues within the University. For more details of these, please email aceevents@st-andrews.ac.uk
