The Caves are an award winning unique wedding venue in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Set in 18th Century stone-walled vaults, The Caves’ atmosphere speaks volumes. Every room is steeped in history, with one of the rooms being home to copious amounts of whisky so it got named ‘Whisky Row!’ Two venues are available for wedding functions, The Rowantree for more intimate weddings of up to 110 guests, and the Caves themselves for up to 450 guests.
