Housed in a Victorian warehouse dating back to 1837, with stunning architectural features throughout, you and your guests will experience a space where the possibilities are as boundless as your imagination.

A destination venue in Glasgow’s West End, The Engine Works offers exclusive use of the entire space for you and your guests. With three distinct zones that can be tailored to your needs or opened up as one, the venue adapts seamlessly - equally suited to intimate gatherings or larger celebrations. Our talented team will support you every step of the way, ensuring your vision comes to life. On the big day, we truly shine - coordinating guests and perfecting every detail so you can relax and savour each moment with friends and family. There really is nowhere else like it.

You’ll enjoy luxurious green rooms, a fully stocked and staffed bar, and elegant furnishings including round tables and black Chiavari chairs. 

With your own private hidden garden under a canopy with fairy lights, you’ll have a magical setting for guests to gather and for food trucks to serve late-night treats. Inside, iconic backdrops offer endless opportunities for photography, while comfort meets style with underfloor heating, air conditioning, and chic facilities. A state-of-the-art PA system ensures every word and note is heard, and with excellent nearby accommodation (including guest discounts), every detail has been considered to make your day truly unforgettable.

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?

The best wedding that took place so far at the Engine Works is such a difficult question!

All of our weddings are amazing and I'm not just saying that. The aesthetic and ethos of The Engine Works is to tell a story and for our weddings it is the story of each couple - every single one is different.

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

Get involved and make it personal. Hire a stylist company to create your vision or enlist the help of friends and family to add some personal touches. That is what makes the day special and emulate your personality as a couple.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

My favourite personal touch was a back drop that the bride had designed and the groom created out of MDF. It was used for the ceremony and then for the speeches - I'm sure it now has another purpose in the couple's home.

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Unique, Fantastic ,Outstanding, Enchanting, Distinct [6th Magic (Scots adjective 😂)]

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

There are two:

From the top of the canal steps - the couple walking down or looking down at the full wedding party gathered on the terrace.

From under the crane during the couple's first dance. The couple in the forefront with all their guests behind them.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

We can't say!

What’s your favourite canapé?

Toasted brioche loaf stacked with creamy brie, smoked salmon and fruit jam.

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Ice cream.

What is your venue's most unique feature?

The Royce crane designed by automotive royalty, Sir Henry Royce.

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The fact that the building has been so beautifully restored with attention to detail. I love it.
