Dedicated to quality

From your first discussions with your Personal

Wedding Planner, to the moment your last guest

departs, the Cabarfeidh Hotel team is dedicated to

making your wedding day perfect.

Experience and skill

The key to success is in the attention to every detail,

enabling our experienced, qualified staff to bring

your ideas to life.

The Cabarfeidh Hotel has provided a wonderful

environment for wedding receptions for so long that

we're now hosting receptions for the daughters and

sons of our original happy couples.

For those who prefer it, the wedding ceremony may

also take place in the hotel, which is fully licensed.

Packages to suit all budgets

There's a choice of complete packages that cover the

needs and budgets of most wedding couples, but if

there's something that you would like and it's not

already in one of our packages, just ask and, if it's

humanly possible, we'll provide it.

Complimentary bonuses

You'll also enjoy complimentary

benefits, including a luxurious room

for the bride and groom, and a

celebration meal for two on your

first anniversary.

We hope you'll enjoy reading this

brochure and the loose menu inserts.

When you're ready, please call us on 01851 702604

to make an appointment for an initial, no obligation,

discussion about your plans.

Planning your wedding is a joyful process, filled with

anticipation and exciting moments. At the

Cabarfeidh Hotel, we’ll help you achieve your dreams

for your special day.

Explore initial ideas for your wedding In a relaxed, no

obligation meeting with a Personal Wedding Planner.

Then, should you decide to entrust us with your

celebration, your Wedding Planner will take

responsibility for the occasion, right up to the

moment the last guest leaves the hotel.

You'll be able to tour the hotel, view bedrooms and

banqueting suites, so that you can choose the best

for your day.

Your Wedding Planner will discuss menus, wine and

drinks packages with you, drawing up a shortlist of

your choices, followed by a tasting at a later date, so

that you can be certain your final selections are

exactly right for you and your guests.

You can also discuss any additional topics, such as

special decorations, musicians, disco and

accommodation for your guests at preferential rates.

Additionally, we can provide you with information to

help you select photographers, wedding cars and

other services.

WE HELP MAKE PLANNING A PLEASURE

relax

Whether you choose the Amethyst, Sapphire or

Ruby menu package, we’re certain that your guests

will be delighted by the quality and presentation of

your Wedding Banquet - which could be at lunch-

time, in the afternoon or evening.

Most importantly, you can know your final,

complete bill, before you confirm your booking.

Each package has been specially designed by our

Head Chef and contains both old favourites and

imaginative choices to satisfy every taste. You’ll find

more detailed information and prices on the loose-

leaf menus.

Once you’ve decided the level of your hospitality,

we’ll help you select the dishes for your own,

individual wedding menu.

Our wine and drinks packages all include

welcome ‘line-up’ drinks, wine for the Wedding

Banquet and bubbly for the toasts. Like the menus,

they include a number of choices and are designed

to suit every pocket.

Although the Cabarfeidh Hotel has an established

reputation for large functions, we apply the same

exacting standards to hospitality for smaller groups

of family and friends. When you’ve enjoyed a

wonderful day, we’ve achieved our goal.

day when you might want to dodge in and out of

doors to avoid showers.

There’s plenty of room to organise large groups on

the lawn, as well as woodland backdrops for

portraits of the wedding couple.

Of course, the gardens are also a great place to

just enjoy the sun on a warm sunny day.

From sumptuous, seated banquets to succulent

buffets, your choice of menu will be attractively

served, complementing your hospitality to your guests.

The menus that accompany this brochure are

designed as a guide to the kind of hospitality you

may offer within your chosen budget, but please feel

welcome to discuss alternative dishes and costs with

your wedding planner and the the head chef.

At the Cabarfeidh, we attach great importance to

selecting the best of local produce in season. The

expected seasonal availability of individual meats,

fish and vegetables may alter the way in which

dishes are best presented.

We will be delighted to discuss the seasonal

presentation of dishes with you, to be certain that

your hospitality will delight your family and friends.

Children under the age of 12 may have smaller

portions of the adult meal, at half price or make their

selection from a simpler children's menu.

We cater for vegetarian and other diets - please

discuss your needs with your wedding manager.
