Cavens is one of the most fabulous exclusive use
small wedding reception venues in Dumfries and Galloway, and for
that matter - Scotland!
Just a few miles south from Dumfries and set in six acres
of beautiful landscaped gardens, perfect for wedding
photographs and arrival drinks, it is also a superb venue
for marquee receptions for those summer days on manicured green lawns.
The hotel itself, once a private residence, still retains the architectural features which once made it a family home for influential tobacco baron Sir Richard Oswald. Cavens was so dear to his family that it remained in their name for over 200 years.
Today it is a cosy retreat,
becoming established in Dumfriesshire for providing
hospitality in a unique venue to wedding guests.
Deciding on a wedding reception venue for your special
day is one of the most important decisions you will need to make.
Cavens offers wedding packages that suit a range
of budgets and styles - from contemporary and chic
to traditional and classic. Every aspect of your
wedding day is tailor-made to your needs
resulting in a perfect, stress-free day to remember.
When hiring Cavens for a wedding on this exclusive-use
basis you will not only have private use of the manor
house, but you will also have the undivided attention of the staff.
And seven stylish double occupancy bedrooms can
accommodate members of the wedding party and the
public rooms and restaurant will also be available
to your guests throughout their stay.
Every detail of your wedding is discussed with Angus
Fordyce the proprietor himself. He will guide you
through all the arrangements and advise on how the
hotels facilities can best suit your needs. These
range from the canapés and drinks to be served
during your reception and the menu for your wedding
breakfast, to the flowers displayed throughout the
hotel and the colour and theme of the dining room
and tables. An experienced food and beverage manager
from some of London's and Scotland's top venues and
hotels, Angus knows what makes important events go
like clockwork, leaving you and your guests to fully enjoy the day.
And to round off the perfect day, a complimentary bottle of Champagne will
be waiting for you in your bridal suite accommodation with compliments of the Cavens team.
For those wishing to extend the occasion, Angus can
arrange activities for wedding guests on the day after
your wedding. Group activities for adults and children
alike can be arranged such as horse riding, fishing, golf,
shooting, excursions to local visitor attractions or a picnic in the country.
The Green Room is also available for private room hire for personal celebrations and occasions - or just a private lunch or dinner.
