- SSusie Smith31/10/2021Wedding Day - The prefect day thanks to the staffWedding Day - The prefect day thanks to the staffMyself and my wife could not praise the Cabar staff and especially Alana, the wedding & events manager, who went above and beyond to make our Wedding day special. We had to move a wedding in less than 4 months from Glasgow to Stornoway due to family circumstances. Alana helped us pull the day together and was always there to answer any questions. On the day the staff were all so kind and friendly to all our guests. They were always there to be a helping hand with a smile. Since the day we got married all our guests have all but complimented on the food. The canapes were outstanding and the main meal was plentiful and delicious. The day would not have gone so well without the people at the Cabar. We look forward to coming back for our anniversary meal. Kind regards, the Bride and Groom.Myself and my wife could not praise the Cabar staff and especially Alana, the wedding & events manager, who went above and beyond to make our Wedding day special.
