LYNNE AND JAMES

My daughter and son-in-law married in The Caves on 23rd July 2016. The venue speaks for itself and Ailidh, our wedding co-ordinator was fantastic in helping us about adding the personal touches on the day.What a lovely young and gracious lady! The staff were so helpful and cheerful even though we did run a little late due to the Bride arriving late.The meal was superb and service impeccable.Throughout the evening the staff continued in the happy cheerful manner that had been around from an early start.At the end of the night they helped in so many ways to arrange the return of the personal items we had used in adding personal touches. All guests commented on staff and fantastic food. In conclusion Ailidh in particular and the remaining staff catering ,bar ,and the security person contributed to making a very special day a relaxed and wonderful occasion for the happy couple and all guests.Many ,many thanks.X

BETH AND BLAIR

Thank you so, so much for all the hard work and effort you put into arranging our wedding on May 2nd. The entire day was perfect, and we are so thankful for everything you did for us. Lisa – thank you for remaining so patient with all our silly questions in the run up, and for all your help and suggestions for decorating the venue, we absolutely loved it. Chris (and the entire on-the-day team) – thank you so much for keeping us so well informed in what was a blur of a day, and for the friendly and professional running of the day. It all went perfectly and was entirely due to the wonderful staff at The Caves. Thank you for giving us a perfect wedding day!

I would like to thank all the staff at the Caves for a wonderful day on Sunday, my daughter's wedding. Everything worked like clockwork, the venue was very romantic and atmospheric, the food was delicious and presented perfectly and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The only negative thing about the day was that it had to end! Thank you all so much for giving, not only the bride and groom a wonderful day, but also for giving all the guests a day to remember.

As we approach our first wedding anniversary on 21st March, I thought now would be a perfect time to officially thank you and the rest of the staff at The Caves for giving us a truly fabulous wedding reception. A huge thank you to you for your excellent organisation and to all the staff for their enthusiasm and laid back but attentive attitude all through the evening, especially Ewan who looked after us so well. The Caves is such a special and spectacular venue, intimate with a real wow factor and we enjoyed absolutely every minute of our experience with you from making the booking right through to leaving at the end of the night. So many of our guests have commented on how incredible it was - especially the excellent quality of the food and service. Nothing about our experience with The Caves was run of the mill, which was exactly what we wanted. I can't thank you enough.

We had our wedding reception at The Caves in February and from start to the 3am finish it was brilliant! The meetings and assistance with planing were fantastic and really reassuring, every time I had a new question someone got back to me right away and the staff are so professional and organised that it really does take the stress away. We were a little concerned about the food because we didn't do the trial; it was delicious, I know I'm biased but it's the best food I've had at a wedding and loads of the guests commented on it too. The venue looked incredible, all of our guests are from away as we're English and haven't lived in Edinburgh for that long so they'd never been before and they were blown away, it looks truly spectacular on the day. The staff are relaxed, friendly and professional - nothing is too much trouble - the food is delicious and the venue is stunning. We loved it! Thanks Caves

RACHEL AND NEALE

Caroline, Rachel is on her honeymoon this week so while still fresh in the memory I would like to say how much we were impressed with the caves as a venue for the wedding. The venue itself was decked out precisely in the way that Rachel wanted, the tables design and decoration were fantastic, the welcome greeting to all guests was very professional, the food and timely service were easily the best I have seen at any wedding with the synchronised service to all the tables massively impressive.All through the day the staff performed their duties without fuss and nothing was an issue. The final topping on the cake was the evening hog roast which provided all with a welcome and enjoyable food break. You will probably have guessed by now that we were overwhelmed with the service provided and would ask if you could feed this back to all the staff involved for a magnificent effort. We personally received feedback from many of the guests who expressed their delight at the reception many who said that it had been the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you again on behalf of the Clough and Summers family.

Bailey and Thomas

To Rebecca and the Caves team, We don't even know where to start in thanking you for everything you did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. To say you gave us the special day of our dreams hardly seems enough - it was more amazing than we ever could have imagined. We are so grateful and wish you all nothing but the very best.
