We met Kasia from Malishka Photography while we were looking for a wedding photographer and decided…read moreto choose her for a number of reasons the photographs in her portfolio were stunning and she put together exactly the package we wanted for an extremely reasonable price (especially by comparison to some of photographers in Edinburgh!) and didn't try to force us to buy other bits and pieces we didn't need. The other big plus for us was that she gave us the right to reproduce the images as we wanted we couldn't believe the number of wedding photographers we contacted who expected to retain the copyright and for you only to get reproductions done by them. What turned out to be a real bonus for us however, as neither of us are big fans of having our photograph taken, was the pre-wedding shoot included which gave us a chance to get used to being photographed, and for Kasia to get used to working with us. Any anticipation or nerves we felt about being in front of the camera were completely removed by Kasia's warm manner and approach and the images she produced for us from the pre-wedding shoot gave us total confidence (and even some excitement!) about having her as our photographer for the wedding. On the wedding day she must have been everywhere but virtually invisible as at no point did she intrude - even our guests commented on how discrete she was by comparison to their experiences at other weddings. The best bit however had to be, without a doubt, the end product and our wedding photographs are absolutely stunning; she managed to capture the feeling of the day and the venue beautifully as well as lots of wonderfully informal ones from the ceremony and reception. She even managed to surprise us by having taken pictures of lots of elements, like our cake and the place settings, which we wouldn't even have thought to have asked to be photographed. Her approach remained flexible even after the wedding and it was no problem for us to add on extra images to our order when we'd seen the proofs as there was too many we loved! Overall we can't thank her enough for capturing our day so well; we wouldn't hesitate to use her again ourselves and would definitely recommend her to anyone especially those put off by half of the overpriced, stuffy professionals you meet at wedding fairs!

Fab photos and service…read more I hate getting photos done. Passport one's are the worst too - no smiling, weird, still face, hair has to be a certain position and photo booths are horrendous! Had to bite the bullet though as passport has expired and I'm off abroad for work soon, so need photos for passport... Turned up Good Friday to get photos done. I had been running late all day and I got here just as the owner was packing up. After explaining I couldn't come back, he stayed behind to do my photos which was fantastic as I needed them done there and then. They were great quality (£10) for professional photos and you now pay around £6 for the horrendous photo booth one's. Here, unlike the booth, the light can be adjusted so you look normal, not casper the friendly ghost. So, well worth it for not much extra but really great photos. Donald was lovely, putting me at ease to make sure I looked comfortable in the photos and very professional. I'll definitely go back here to get photos taken and I've already recommended to friends too!

A lot of bands put up with less than adequate facilities. For me you need clean and well equipped. In terms of well equipped - good reliable backline, good PA/monitors etc. The Wel Rehearsal facilities are just about the best I have used. Lots of extras available - kitchen, coffee, touchdown desk, strings. The manager/owner Keith is incredibly helpful. An added bonus (though not sure this will last) is that there always seems options for bookings. It costs us £35 for a 2.5 hour session.

The courtyard outside is a better bet when the weather's good enough and occasionally an ad hoc bar is erected along with a bbq but generally you have to put up with the crowded indoors to to get served. There's a gigantic tv screen outside too but it's not got particularly good anti-glare protection so if you plan to watch any sports here then you need to get along early, claim a spot indoors & put up with the throng.

Aside from this, it usually has a lively, unpretentious atmosphere with a big beer garden outside as a change of scenery from the crowded inside bars and dance floor. The music generally varies from cheesy eighties sounds to the latest chart toppers, so there is something for everyone. On the downside, the food is nothing to rave about and you are likely to catch something in the disgusting toilets (you'll be lucky to find a tap working or even a loo with a seat!). On a whole, it is worth a visit, but it is best not to have too many expectations.
