Tying the knot in Scotland will make you feel like pure royalty with their breathtaking castle backdrops and lush greenery, but it does come with some challenges:

Hotels in Scotland are EP (European Plan), which typically means the quoted rate only covers the cost of the room itself, so your meals and drinks will be an additional cost.
The flights to Scotland are longer and more expensive from most US and CA vacations.
Wedding packages in Scotland are not all-inclusive, so you'll have to hire each vendor individually (i.e. florist, wedding planner, caterer, photographer, etc.)
