COUPLE can now celebrate their big day in extra luxury thanks to a new offer from a Peeblesshire venue.

As part of a new offer with its wedding package, Cardrona Hotel, Gold and Spa near Peebles has added helicopter rides to its list of services.

Couples can make a grand entrance with the helicopter rides, creating an "unforgettable experience".

The rides will give couples the chance to enjoy the private grounds surrounding the hotel, as well as the nearby woodlands of the Tweed valley from a new perspective.

Caitlin Goodall, wedding and events specialist at Cardrona Hotel, Golf & Spa, said: “We pride ourselves on curating an unforgettable experience for all our couples.

"Our specialist team are there to support on every step of their wedding journey from venue hire, catering and entertainment to personal touches.

“Some couples prefer an intimate ceremony while others opt for a more elaborate celebration and a helicopter entrance is guaranteed to create a breathtaking impact on a wedding day.”

The hotel offers five different wedding packages to couples, with a range of extras - such as the helicopter rides - which can be added to bookings.

The five packages include:

  • Timeless
  • Enchanting
  • Luxe 
  • Midweek and Winter
  • Just The Two Of Us

The Manderston Suite, which has an elegant interior to match the hotel's natural surroundings, can host civil ceremonies and wedding receptions for up to 240 people.

The hotel hosts one wedding per day, allowing staff to provide undivided attention to each couple.

Cardrona Hotel, Golf and Spa is set to host a wedding showcase event next month where engaged couples can experience the venue.

They will also have the chance to tour the hotel, view various room set-ups and meet with the hotel's expert wedding team to discuss their big day plans.

The wedding showcase will take place on Sunday, February 25 from 12-3pm.
