the best wedding venue

Just for You

Paxton House combines the elegance of our Palladian house with the natural beauty of our riverside lawns and woodlands.  We can help you create a wedding day or party with a unique character that suits you and your budget from 200 guests to just 30. Whatever you want to celebrate, our historic setting will make it memorable and our dedicated team is on hand to help.  Paxton is equidistant from Edinburgh and Newcastle and only a few miles from the A1 and Berwick-upon-Tweed’s national rail links.

“The visit was excellent. All the pupils really enjoyed their visit. I really appreciated the contact from yourself prior to the visit to enable excellent planning.”

Mrs Husbands, Lilliesleaf Primary School

Mel made the whole process relaxed and stress-free, which is exactly how we wanted our wedding to be. We had the most wonderful day; I would thoroughly recommend Paxton House as a wedding venue whether you are looking to hold a larger wedding in the house or a more intimate wedding by the river. However, we think The Boat House is particularly enchanting.

Ross and Haley, May 2021

Our second visit which was as wonderful as the first. Paxton House is a very special place and it’s a privilege to stay in the Garden Apartment – already looking forward to returning!

Mr & Mrs Williams, Lancashire

Beautiful place. Carol our tour guide was fantastic. Wonderful place, staying in the caravan park, will definitely come back. Stunning woodland and planting.

S Bennett, Marske-by-the-Sea

What a wonderful place Paxton is. We had great coffee and cakes as a takeaway from the Stables, very lovely, and then a beautiful walk around the grounds. Seriously, no better place to be in the Borders. The house amazing, the staff friendly, and the nature second to none. Managed to win the stone skimming competition down by the river!

Robin C, Chirnside

We love coming to Paxton as a family as there is something for everyone. The kids love the playpark and they put on some great events throughout the year. Keep an eye out for their Halloween, Easter and Christmas ones, they are fantastic and real value for money! The gardens are lovely when they are in bloom and the walks are so scenic. The Tearoom sells a wide variety of foods and the cakes and traybakes are especially good. My coffee addicted husband is a big fan of their coffee and cake! Paxton House is definitely a place we will continue to visit in years to come.

The Hyslop Family

Chamber music making at its finest.

Seen & Heard International

We will take our memories of this evening back to Canada and tell others!
