Perfect Day
We had our wedding at the Vu February 11th of this year and cannot praise them enough. Everything was perfect and so efficient. Josh was our coordinator and we cannot praise him enough. From start to end he made sure that our day was incredibly special. He was also so approachable and a great laugh. The Vu are really lucky to have him! The whole team were fantastic and made the whole experience perfect.

Cannot fault or recommend enough
Had my wedding here on Friday and couldn't recommend it enough. The staff are so good with communication and being willing to help with anything and everything. We had a co ordinator on the day to keep things running smooth and there was always someone there for myself or my husband. The package deal honestly you can't fault it, it makes having that dream wedding reality because its affordable. Thank you so much ❤️❤️

Dream wedding
We recently celebrated our wedding at The Vu in Bathgate on September 8th, 2024, and it was an absolutely magical experience. The setting is breathtaking, with stunning views that provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue itself is beautifully maintained and offers a serene and romantic atmosphere. The staff at The Vu were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. A special shoutout to our wedding planner, Kirsten, who was simply brilliant...

Massive pod room
Visited for a wedding, stayed in one of the pods which was excellent. Much bigger than any previous ones I've seen, full size wee house basically with king size bed, small kitchen and bathroom. Plenty Sufficient for a few days never mind overnight.

Flawless
We were so well looked after by our wedding coordinator, and most of the time we didn’t even know what was going on behind the scenes, which is as it should be. Beautiful venue, shame the weather turned on us a little during the photoshoot but that can’t be helped, and we were supplied with umbrellas!

The best day of my life at the best venue
I honestly could not recommend the Vu enough!! The most amazing venue - everything was organised, flowed amazing and the staff are simply outstanding they go the extra miles to help you in so many ways. On the day of the wedding we had an outstanding wedding co-ordinator she was outstanding and because of her the wedding seemed so seem less any issues and Rhiannon was there to help she was amazing ! The Vu doesn’t only have a beautiful venue but has the greenery for beautiful back drops for photographs and also a body of water and a jetty for photos. The food was amazing so many of my guests complimented the food and we both loved the food great choices and so tasty, drink prices very reasonable, people can afford to enjoy themselves. Parking available for buses and a lot of cars. The over night stay in the lodge was magical the lodge was beautiful and the breakfast was stunning and very needed the next day ! We had and amazing day and as you probably can see by this review I honestly couldn’t recommend the Vu enough their staff and the Vu speaks for its self. The only feeling I feel people may worry about is that the Vu has two weddings a day, I can honestly say I never seen anyone from the other wedding, you wouldn’t know they are there If that’s a worry for anyone.
