Our Favorite Venue Feature
Scotland Fields gives us exactly what we look for in a wedding venue—variety, stunning natural light, and spaces that make storytelling effortless.

Watch Out for the Catering Tent Placement
One important detail to consider is the catering tent placement. While the venue has a dedicated catering tent space, it’s crucial to ensure it doesn’t block the view of the river behind the ceremony tent. The backdrop of the York River and marshlands is one of the most stunning features of Scotland Fields, and keeping it open for photos and guest experience is key. Thoughtful planning with the venue team and catering staff will make sure everything flows seamlessly while preserving those panoramic views.
