I was at your hotel on saturday for a wedding and just wanted to pass on some feedback that I felt relavent towards yourselves. First of all, how extremley well I felt that Events Manager conducted himself on the day- the whole thing ran so smoothley it was almost frightening, the food, the organisation of the table turn-around etc , PERFECT. I did not catch his name but he was tall with dark spikey hair, first class & please pass that on. Secondly, I thought the entire venue is fantastic, the view, the rooms, the food, the staff etc etc..... the list goes on! I have certainly ear-tagged Orocco Pier for my wedding venue for when the day comes along!

For all the management team and staff please accept our heartfelt thanks for making Vicci and Neil's day so special. At no time during the Wedding itself, the reception or our stay afterwards did we feel that anything we asked for was too much trouble. You......the Superb Staff...........made sure Vicci and Neil had nothing to worry about because they were in your capable hands. All of the guests and families were full of praise for the way the day was organised and for the quality of the service, food , wine etc. THANKYOU SO MUCH

All your ideas, organization, enthusiasum and support were hugelt appreciated, Chris and I had a fairytail day – we couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. We have had so many compliments on our choice of venue and particularly the view of the bridges – and some of our photos are spectacular for both reasons.

We got married at Orocco Pier on a cold November afternoon last year (Nov 2004). The setting from the downstairs was stunning and the stylish contemporary interior of the newly refurbished function suite was fantastic. The integrated modern lighting system they have invested in is amazing. All the staff were extremely friendly and paid huge attention to the details of our day, from the extra ivy on the pillars down to the timing the entrance of the bridal party during the ceremony to music to the very second. Nothing seemed too much for them to provide and it really made our day perfect! We have been to many weddings and the staff at Orocco Pier really did go out of their way to make it a unique and special day, with many suggestions for personalising our day in the run up to the event. The hotel itself is beautiful. Many of the rooms benefit from breathtaking views towards the Firth of forth and the two bridges. The heavy cotton sheets, scene setting lighting, the seriously well equipped mini-bar and Molton & Brown toiletries add to the feeling of luxury. The food was wonderfully tasty with a contemporary twist and extremely reasonably priced considering what was on offer, irrespective of whether you are a diner in the restaurant or a guest at a wedding. One thing to particularly mention is the cocktail called a “Honey scotch”. I can’t wait to go back there again and have it – it’s amazing. I’m now pregnant so I can’t have it just now – but I’m counting the days till we go back and have some more!! I would recommend that anyone get married there – I’ve been to many weddings, stayed in many, many hotels from 0-5 star luxury and I can seriously say that I’ve never ever enjoyed myself as much as I did at Orocco Pier.
