We can assist with arrangements for weddings, receptions and honeymoons on any scale, from the intimate
limited to two people and witnesses, to large-scale events with several hundred guests. Some people want a wedding on one of the anvils at Gretna, followed
by a reception and a quiet honeymoon. Others hanker after an event on film-star scale but without press intrusion; we can help organise that discreetly and
with all the luxury you require. Craigadam lends itself to a wide range of possibilities, with the panelled dining room and the enclosed courtyard.

Corsock Church, part of the Corsock & Kirkpatrick Durham Parish, is the nearest to Craigadam. The Minister, Reverend Sally Marsh,
is happy to conduct weddings. Services are normally only held there at 11:30 am on the first Sunday of every month, so there is
scope to use the Church for weddings at other times. The Minister's number is 01556 503645.
Craigadam is a popular venue for weddings and
functions so bookings should be made well in advance.
