We had a lovely chat with Craig Cameron, Estate Factor to find out more,
“The estate is in the east of Fife: south of Cupar between Ceres and Largo. The estate underwent extensive renovation from 1996 and we had our first wedding in the garden in May 2022. Our diary has filled up for 2023, it’s really taking off. The estate has been here since early 1200, so over 800 years of heritage.
We are a beautiful two-acre garden with restored Victorian greenhouse. A stunning venue for a garden wedding which allows couples to have a relaxed garden party-like celebration. Our location is the key attraction and surroundings splendid. DIY wedding venues are hard to find!
We operate our own cut flower business and are happy to grow wedding flowers just for you, or if we have enough notice can even plant particular flower varieties that hold special significance, such as reminding you of a dearly, departed family member who can’t be with you on your special day.”
Whether you are saving up for an on-trend 1980’s puff wedding dress or upcycling a pre-loved dress, this charming, al fresco wedding venue offers a touch of panache to your wedding day.
There is a Wedding Fair on the 13th May, for prospective couples to view the venue and meet suppliers.
