Unbeatable Natural Character
Suzanne made sure our day was everything we wanted and more! She truly went over and above to make sure everything went smoothly and she is a real professional with years of experience in the industry. She provides honest advice and is there every step of the way in helping you organise your day. So many of our guests and family commented on how well organised the wedding was. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and is unbeatable in terms of natural character. The interior is out of this world. Thank you to everyone at Coats. Wish we could do it all over again!

Exceeded all expectations!
We had our wedding at this stunning venue in November 2023 and it exceeded all expectations! We only booked in June 2023, 5 months is plenty of time to arrange a whole wedding right? Suzanne, the wedding co-ordinator was fantastic, she helped us every step of the way. Her list of recommended suppliers was so useful and we used several of them! On the day itself Suzanne and her colleagues (Brooke and Colin) made sure everything ran seamlessly and because of their efforts we had the smoothest and most relaxed wedding, just like we'd wanted. Despite the rain, the day went brilliantly and we really couldn't have hoped for anything better.

Unique and stunning venue! ❤️
We were looking for somewhere in Glasgow, that wasn't your standard hotel type wedding venue and had something a little different. We completely stumbled upon Coats back in 2022, when looking through the Blushing Brides Facebook group and decided to at least go and view it. The night we first went and seen it, we both just fell in love with it. It's so grand without being pretentious and the original decor and feel of what the church used to be is still so prevalent throughout. The packages that Coats provide are brilliant and even now, there is still more items being added that couples can use on their day! We both loved the fact that any extra profit made from weddings goes directly back into the church to keep it in the wonderful condition it's in and not to some big boss, who hasn't had any involvement. Suzanne is amazing and ensures everything is organized, over and over, so that nothing gets missed or forgotten about! The catering, the decor, the cake, the Piper......all of these suppliers that you choose from within your package are incredible!! We can't thank, Coats and all the staff involved, enough for helping us have the most amazing and magical day!

Simply Stunning
If you’re thinking of booking Coats for a wedding, you will not be disappointed. The building is simply stunning with both breathtaking interior and exterior. The photos we managed to get were beautiful due to this. It really is the most unique building I’ve ever seen…just unreal. Our wedding day was so magical and having Coats as our wedding venue was like the cherry on top if you plan on having a fairytale wedding. Suzanne was amazing with us when we first booked a show round, we fell in love with Coats at first sight. We received amazing recommendations, advice and reassurance from Suzanne throughout as well which made our planning process really easy. On the day, Paulina and Colin were fab and made sure everything was perfect and the set up looked amazing downstairs in the ballroom. Everything flowed so seamlessly. All staff ensured our evening ran smoothly and nothing was a bother at all…best wee team around! Thank you all so much for giving myself, Steven and the kids the most perfect day. Siobhan 🤍 xx

A dream came true
Coats, its like a dream came true! Aside from the stunning venue, the staff are amazing! Paulina was our wedding coordinator, and I can’t fault her in any area. She captured our wee vision perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble and she and the team exceeded our expectations! The Twilight package they offer is absolutely fantastic if you have a smaller budget or just want to skip the dinner and get dancing! Iv lived in Paisley my whole life and have always admired the coats and it has been extra special getting married in such a beautiful part of our own town .We have and will continue to recommend Coats Paisley. Thank you lots of Love Mr and Mrs Fleming x

Absolutely perfect
4•11•2023 Myself and my partner got married in Cyprus at a very small wedding with close friends and family (17 people) it was lovely and everything we both imagined 30 degrees heat in October with our close friends! I rush into things and I always have done! We had a baby last June, went for a walk to braehead and found myself and my partner in tui booking our wedding!! We decided that we also wanted to celebrate back home and looked into having a reception but when we visited Suzanne at coats she told us about the twilight wedding! Straight away, me being me we jumped on and booked it! I can honestly say it was the best decision ever!!! As it was just a very small wedding in Cyprus we decided to take the opportunity and do our wedding all over again and not only have a reception but have a second wedding!!! Coats is the most stunning venue ever! Absolutely everything was perfect! I want to say a special thank you to: Makeup.byStacey - Stacey did both my myself and my mums make up and hair for the wedding! My mum loves glam make up but also never had her make up done before but I could tell straight away from my mums face that she loved it!!! Stacey did AMAZING!!! I got my hair and make up done from Stacey for the first time at my hen party and again I absolutely loved it. She is such a genuinely lovely person and felt like I had known Stacey forever! We hit it off straight away! Such a chatty lovely person 🫶🏼 Victoria Johnston Celebrant Victoria wonderful person!!! Recommended to me and I am bloody glad she was!!! An absolute angel sent from heaven! We met up and hit it off like a house on fire . Victoria had a great energy about her and I just knew we wanted. her from the first phone call we had and when we met I just knew we had the right person to marry us! An absolute star! When we got home from Cyprus and before the home wedding, Victoria emailed us over the wedding script .. I cried the WHOLE way through it because it was the most perfect and beautiful thing I’ve ever read and I couldn’t believe how much attention she had paid to both myself and my partner when we met for a chat. We did a hand fastening ceremony along with the sand ceremony as we have a “blended family” with kids brought in from both sides of the relationship so we felt it was the right thing. Victoria included all 4 of the kids to the ceremony and they loved it! You would Think kids would get bored at a ceremony but no! Our stood in absolute awe of Victoria as she spoke about our family unit ! Tracy McQuillan Tracy McQuillan Photography Tracy was our photographer and she was outstanding! We got a sneak peak of some pics within 24 hours!!! Nothing has ever been too much to ask from Tracy, she met us in several occasions, asking about what we were looking for in the photography and also took in what the kids wanted! We wanted to recreate a few things which we did in Cyprus like sparklers with the kids . What a lovely Lovely person !!! I love the style of Photography and I really feel like I have met a friend for life 🤍 I have also bought a voucher to go for a family photoshoot as Tracy was AMAZING at what she did and for once the kids didn’t moan about getting their pics taken!! Sunshine Sweet - we ordered our cake along with cupcakes and favours for the children! The cake was the most amazing cake I genuinely have ever tried! Everyone complimented it from the look and the taste it was out of this world!! I had an idea of the style of Cake I was looking for and what we got was more perfect than I could have imagined!!! First Class Catering - The food was out of this world!! A finger buffet as it was a twilight wedding and we upgraded to add extra food on! The amount of people who have.m Contacted myself and Michael to say the food was unreal has been great! The staff and food was brilliant and I can’t wait to come to your pub/restaurant to enjoy more of your amazing food!! Arkleston Piping - we booked yourselves and there is honestly nothing nicer than having a piper at a wedding .. it gives me goosebumps and always end up with a tear in my eye because it reminds me of my dad for some reason! You did amazing piping the guests in then myself and my son! Thank you so much ! Cheers Party Cart Hire - we hired the flower wall which was at the open night at coats and we are so glad we did! It was the talk of the night and it was Lovely to have it behind the top table To block out the dj box during the speeches and food and then Suzanne and the team moved it to the side for a back drop for the cake and photos of course!!! Nicole was lovely and the Flower wall was beautiful and looks amazing in photos 🥰 Tam Ward Entertainments - Tam you were amazing! The music was great! It wasn’t a hassle when I sent yoy over a list of songs we wanted and we didn’t go for the normal end of night song but that wasn’t a problem to you. You were great and had a such a wide variety of music!!! B-Direct Minibus Hire - billy is a star! We booked him to take us to the airport for the wedding in Cyprus and because we were so impressed we booked him again for the journey to and from coats! We don’t want to do wedding cars as it was the evening so we booked billy which the service was amazing! Lovely genuine guy and was so helpful in helping with the pram, bags etc! Also had Prosecco for us on route and water on the way home! What a guy !! We will 100% use this service again! Coats Paisley- lastly I want to thank every single one of your staff but a special mention to Suzanne & Colin! You are both superstars and honestly been amazing ! Colin - what a lovely genuine guy !!! Nothing was too much to ask of and you were so helpful! Lovely lovely person ! Suzanne.. you throughout have been great! I honestly don’t know how you manage everything you do but wow!!! You made as feel so welcome, you helped out so much and you are a lovely person! YOU Made our day so special and the best day of our lives! You are such a kind person and you made it all happen for us! Everything worked out amazing, I stressed a bit at times and you made me feel at ease and reassured me every time! You would sit and listen to my long list of questions and you never thought it was too much to ask when I asked soooo many questions ! I honestly want to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! We had the most amazing day and we will treasure these memories forever! It would not have been that day had we not had you all to contribute to it 🤍❤️ we will be forever grateful !!! What a venue!!!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take ten minutes to yourselves, some couples barely get to make eye contact until their first dance. I always encourage my couples to take some time out together just to let everything sink in. After all, you’ve just got married!
