Well, our Old Blacksmiths Shop first held weddings in 1754, while our boutique Smiths Hotel is a picture of present-day style. Then there’s our 18th -century Gretna Hall Marriage House & Hotel, built in 1710 on the cusp of the Georgian era, but whose public spaces and function rooms enjoyed an elegant modern makeover in recent years. In short, we’ve got the lot.
Pick Your Package
Maybe you’re looking to keep things small, like so many couples of days gone by, who arrived with each other and little else.
