What are dry hire wedding options in Ayrshire?

Ayrshire is home to plenty of all inclusive wedding venues but an increasing numbers of couples are looking at what dry hire options are available for their wedding day.

Dry hire is where you hire the venue space and any extras such as catering or decorating are hired independently of the venue. A great venue to check out in Ayrshire is Coats Paisley.
