Paxton House

Paxton House is a gorgeous Georgian mansion on the River Tweed, close to the Border towns of Duns and Berwick. With its combination of traditional grandeur and bohemian chic, it’s a wonderfully flexible wedding venue where you’re welcome to put your own creative spin on things.

For a truly dramatic entrance, why not arrive by boat? Paxton has its own picturesque Boat House and bridal groups can travel up the River Tweed from Berwick. There’s also a tractor and trailer to transport guests ‘rustic-style’ down to the river – brilliant for fun photos and a great talking point.

Inside Paxton House, the Picture Gallery makes a film-set backdrop for your ceremony, with is magnificent National Galleries of Scotland portraits, Steinway grand piano and sumptuous marble and plasterwork. It seats up to 150 guests for a ceremony and dinner. The Drawing Room and Library are perfect if you’d like a more intimate setting. Evening parties for up to 150 take place between the cosy Hayloft Gallery and Picture Gallery.

If you’re planning a larger party, then why not take advantage of Paxton’s own country-style marquee, which overlooks the river?

Paxton House offers first-rate facilities for your choice of outside caterer, as well as a self-catering apartment and a host of great accommodation within a few miles’ drive of the house. We’ve also teamed up with Berwick’s country house hotel, Marshall Meadows, just four miles away and available on an exclusive use basis if you want to hold your evening wedding party there.
