• Wedding Photographer
  To remember your wedding day forever, you'll want to hire a wedding photographer.

That way, you can get a feel for their style and methods.
  
  
• Florist
  If you decide that you'd like to hire a florist, have a browse through their website to see the arrangements they have on offer. Does their vision align with yours? Do they offer arrangements that suit your chosen colour theme? How much do the arrangements cost? Have a discussion with a couple of florists to determine which person is right for you.
  
  
• Officiant
  Many people choose a family member or close friend to officiate their wedding. However, if you decide you want to hire an officiant, make sure to have an in-depth conversation with them about how they'd structure the ceremony and let them know what you'd like to happen, too.

Pros and Cons of Weddings in Glasgow

Advantages

• Green spaces
  Glasgow is the second greenest city in the UK behind Edinburgh. The name 'Glasgow' in Gaelic translates to 'dear green place', and the city has a history of preserving its popular parks and other green spaces, which are popular with the locals. So if you’ve got some time before or after the wedding, go and spend a few hours in one of the city’s many peaceful green spaces. It’ll do you some good!
  
  
• History
  Glasgow has rich local history and heritage. The city's most intriguing and influential history is on display for all to see in Glasgow's many museums, including the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Riverside Museum and the Tenement House. Your wedding guests can take in some fascinating historical attractions during their visit!
  
  
• Friendly locals
  Glaswegians are famously very friendly and are welcoming to visitors. Spend a few hours in the city, and you'll soon see how lovely the locals are.
  
  
• Transport links
  Because of its location, Glasgow has excellent transport links to the Highlands, England, and easy access to Glasgow Airport. As a result, wedding guests travelling from outside of the Glasgow area should be able to reach the city easily.

Disadvantages

• Weather
  Like the rest of the UK, Glasgow doesn't experience the nicest weather. Unfortunately, Glasgow is one of Scotland's rainiest cities, with 170 days of rainfall a year. So remind your wedding guests to bring their raincoats and umbrellas, just in case!
  
  
• Traffic
  Glasgow is a big, busy city, meaning it experiences its fair share of traffic, especially in the city centre. In fact, a recent study revealed that Glasgow has some of the worst rush-hour traffic in any UK city. So it's best not to travel at rush hour if you can help it. The last thing you or your guests want to do is arrive at the wedding venue late!
