 The Caves is an exciting, truly unique and atmospheric venue situated deep in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. The multiple possibilities of the space mean that we can guarantee that your Wedding will be a truly memorable experience. All aspects of your Big Day are possible, from the ceremony right through to the evening do.In order create that special Big Day for you we have split our weddings into two packages which are dependent on numbers attending.
Smaller more intimate wedding parties for up to 60 day guests and 110 evening guests, are held in the Rowantree. Steeped in history and fabulously cosy this is a great venue for more personal weddings. The Rowantree is licensed for civil, humanist, religious and hand fasting ceremonies.
Larger weddings of 60 to 130 day guests and up to 450 evening guests are held in the Caves. This unique venue makes up the sub-structure of the 18th Century South Bridge, there is no venue more Edinburgh than the Caves. Or more Scottish than Scottish if you consider there was once so much Whisky stored here that it became known as "Whisky Row".
Every room has a story to tell and a special place in Scottish history - from vaults that served as the stables to the French Cavalry who were at one time body guards to the Royal Family, to remains of the houses that pre-date the Bridge itself - with the original terracotta floor tiles still intact! This amazing and fantastically unique venue will wow your guests and is licensed for civil, humanist, religious and hand fasting ceremonies.

"To Caroline and all the team at The Caves, A huge thank you for all you did to make our wedding so fantastic. At every stage of the planning you exceeded all expectations. Nothing was too big to arrange, nothing was too small to be given consideration. Your organisation, efficiency, enthusiasm and attention to detail was exemplary and ensured the day went without a hitch. Compliments to the chef and his catering team for such amazing food beyond anything we had imagined. Any other wedding breakfast would be hard pressed to beat the variety, quantity and standard of the meal we were presented with. Many of our guests are still talking about the beautiful steak pie they enjoyed (not to mention the cheesecake, the soup, the fudge, the canapes...). If we had to do it all again, there is nothing we would change about our perfect wedding at The Caves - a special day in such a special location. So thank you Caroline for your part in this - it is sincerely appreciated and we wish you and everyone at The Caves all the very best for the future and all that it may hold for this truly magical hidden gem."

"Hi Caroline, Carrie and I just wanted to send you a little note to say thank you so much for everything that you and the staff at the Caves have done for us - our day was incredible and we've had so many of our guests tell us that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The staff were so helpful and attentive and the food was absolutely amazing (one person who was there put up an album of photos from the day on Facebook, and one of the shots was just of his plate of curry!). We can't thank you enough for all the hard work and effort you and everyone at the Caves put in. It really made the day something hugely special!"

"To Marcelle and Caroline,
As short note to say thank you so much for all the effort that you and the team put into our wedding reception in The Caves. The Caves received a myriad of compliments from our guests and we felt totally relaxed all afternoon and evening. The venue looked fantastic, the atmosphere was wonderful and the setting looked magical! Thank you once again and all the best for 2011."

"Dear Caroline and The Caves Team,
Firstly, apologises for the slightly belated thank you card! Steven and I wanted to write to thank you for all of your help with the organisation of our wedding in The Caves on Saturday 20th November 2010. We had such a fantastic day and are so pleased that we chose to hold our wedding in The Caves. Not only did our guests comment on how beautiful and unique the venue is, they were also delighted with our wedding dinner and staff service. Your help and advice really ensured that we had an unforgettable day and we would love to do it all over again! I am currently trying to convince Steven that it would be a great idea to hold our 1 year anniversary at The Caves!"

"To all at The Caves who made Naomi and Sean's wedding on 29/12/10 a dream come true, some people get a mention in the poem enclosed but there wasn't space to do justice to the wonderful food (sublime crackling on the hog roast!!), the truly wonderful Front of House manager Jonathan, the hand jiving bar staff, the accommodating chef who prepared 2 extra dinners an hour later and friendly door steward. All of these people and the cheerful, nameless helpers we want to thank but above all the fabulous, incomparable and truly, truly sweet Caroline"

"Dear Caroline, Just a small note to say a massive THANK YOU! We are so grateful for all your hard work into creating the perfect wedding day for us. We always felt reassured after talking to you and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. All this along with the gorgeous venue created a very magical day for us and so many of our guests have commented on this too. We also want to say a special thank you to the staff who were there on the night and in particular, David was who lovely and again, nothing seemed too much trouble. He really added to what was a very relaxed day and night for us (well, after I'd arrived I think Dave calmed down!!). We are SO SO glad that we picked The Caves for our wedding and actually feel quite sad we won't be able to wander around all it's little rooms again!! Unless we come to a gig or something- or persuade someone else to get married there!! Thank you once again and best wishes!!"
Ann & Dave- November 2010
Hi Caroline,
"I know that Niamh will probably send you a mail anyway, but I wanted to let you know how utterly delighted we were about the day. It's pretty hard to put into words how we both feel about you lot over there.
Everyone who was working on the night were brilliant. Truly great staff. And DJ John was excellent. Since the wedding, we have been getting loads of mails and texts and been talking to people who have commented on the fact it was the best wedding they were ever at and I think a large bit of those compliments should go to you.
Fair play to you Caroline, you are the bomb!!!! From the minute everyone stepped inside, there was an atmosphere that was just electric. Everyone was chilled out and everything went so smooth.
I have a great deal of respect for you over there and I wish there was some way of actually letting you know how important you are, but alas the words aren't there so can I just say THANK YOU!"
"Well i'm sure Dave beat me to it but we're just back from honeymoon and wanted to say a massive thank you for everything on the 23rd and of course the run up to it. We had the most amazing time and all the guests have been blown away by the venue, the food, the staff....just everything.
I could really start gushing now but could you pass on our thanks to Jonathan, J, Gillian, Janet, Mark, Hamish, Fran and Kenny. I hope i haven't left anyone out because they were all so good to us.
Please pass on our appreciation to the chef, everyone loved the food. I won't patronise him by telling him how AMAZING the food tasted but we appreciated it so much.
As for John the DJ, he was classic, such a lovely fella and played all the songs we asked for. The dance floor was full all night. Caroline, I really can't thank you enough for everything and passing us on to the dj, hairdresser etc. I'll hate not being able to mail you now ha ha! Thanks for putting up with us. You are one in a million ans fantastic at your job it has to be said. Best of luck for what i'm sure is a bright future for you."
Niamh and Dave- September 2010
"Our celebrations at the Caves were a huge success. We got so much positive feedback from our guests on the environment, the food and the great service. It was a perfect venue for bringing together a number of bands and creating a great party atmosphere."

"We just wanted to say a BIG thank you for everything you have done for us leading up to and on the day of our wedding. We had an amazing day and The Rowantree looked beautiful and even better than we imagined that it would. It was perfect! On the day the food was delicious so special thanks to Philippe, the chef, and all of the staff involved were great. Special thanks to Marcelle, as it was great to have one key person to contact and you really did a tremendous job! Much appreciated!"
