Gretna/Dumfries venue ideas? Caerlaverock Castle?

Hello ?

I live in this area!

I have not been to a wedding at caerlaverock but it is always busy in the summer months and I dont think it particularly private, beautiful tho!

There is also sweet heart abbey in new abbey - popular for weddings

Comlongin(sp) castle

I'm getting married at Mabie House, Lovely but not sure if it what you looking for.

If you need any help just let me know!

Hi!

Thanks for the reply ?

yeah thats what I was thinking re caerlaverock. Hadn't thought of sweetheart abbey though - will have a look! Mabie House looks lovely, looks like it might be out of my budget though, do you have any rough prices for it? pm if u prefer. H2B does not like comlongan castle because of all the flags, shame because I think it looks lovely!

Just noticed you are getting married on my birthday!!

Hi

I've stayed here & have seen weddings being held. Food, service & accomodation are all fabulous. The grounds are lovely, & the building is a mix of new & old,

Mabie doesnt charge a venue hire. You just pay for the food drink and rooms etc.

Our meal is £28.95 pp (we having an option so a set menu is slightly cheaper depending on which you choose) and our evening buffet is £9.75pp (was a slightly cheaper option but thought it looked a bit limited)

The aston that the other poster recommended is set in lovely grounds but way more expensive!

I dont like the flags at comlonan castle either so im on your H2B's side with that one!

If you have any other questions feel free to ask, PM me if you want.

Send me nice weather vibes for your birthday so i can get married outside!

When are you planning to get married?

Thanks for that! those prices are really good! we are definitely going to have a look at Mabie House ?

We aren't getting married till 2014 so still got a while to go, will def be keeping my fingers crossed for good weather for you, I really want to get married outside too!

I'm a bit late with this, and you have probably already booked somewhere, but have you checked out Springkell? It's just outside Gretna and is a lovely 18th Century house. And you can have it private if you like. I don't know any of the other places i'm afraid, but this one looks lovely. It's website is http://www.springkell.co.uk

Good luck!
