Paxton House is one of the most beautiful unaltered Georgian houses in Britain. Once you pass through the gates you will find yourself in a world apart, secluded, private and picturesque. Romance is central to our story. In the 1740s, when Patrick Home of Paxton fell in love with Sophie de Brandt, he set about building a home to impress her – historic Paxton House was the result. Now you can celebrate your romance with us.
We offer an extraordinary flexibility for your dream wedding from large to small, formal to informal, indoor to outdoor, simple to sophisticated and traditional to boho. We have a choice of venues for all guestlists and all budgets, from the Picture Gallery or Hayloft to the Boathouse or Gardens. Want to get married in a boat? In a wood? On a swing? With your dog? Try us.
Our dedicated and experienced wedding and event manager has over fifteen years of industry experience and can steer you through the planning of your wedding and will coordinate the day itself.
We operate on a venue hire only basis so you have the freedom to build your own day from scratch and choose suppliers most suited to your budget and taste. We pride ourselves on every wedding being completely different and unique to each couple. Four legged friends are most welcome too!
We have a choice of three wonderful self catering holiday lets onsite which can be booked for yourself as a private retreat on the night of your wedding or for bridal preparations on the big day itself!
The Scottish Borders is a holiday area so we can recommend a range of accommodation options for guests in our Walled Garden Caravan Park, in the nearby villages and larger hotels in Berwick-upon-Tweed, only five miles away.
Once inside the gates, Paxton House feels wonderfully remote but we are just 15 minutes from Berwick-upon-Tweed with rail connections to Edinburgh, Newcastle, Glasgow and London. Since we are right on the Scotland England border, we have a choice of airports just over an hour away. We have private car parking for guests and vendors to use both during the day and overnight.
Many thanks to the many photographers and couples who allowed us to use their images.
