St Mary’s Space is a dream! We came all the way from France for our elopement and it was absolutely perfect. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and has such a special atmosphere. Charlotte and Jamie are wonderful people. They were so kind and helped us make our day very special. If you are looking for a magical place, this is it! Our wedding dinner was also the best meal we had during our entire trip in Scotland (by far!)! Thank you again for everything!
