We got married here a year ago tomorrow (28/1/17) and have come back today for our anniversary weekend away. After looking at venues which included overseas, both dean and I fell in love with Gretna immediately, regardless of the “tourism” side, we felt the venue offered something that all the other venues didn’t, and believe me we looked at A LOT Of places! The romantic side was vastly superior to anywhere else and although on our special day there were some tourists around, they respected our day and moved on when asked. Couldn’t recommend Gretna highly enough x
We got married here on15/08/18 and we loved it! Very intimate and staff were super friendly! Would recommend to anybody!
We got married here on Wednesday 25 July and it was magical, everything we had hoped for and so much more! Such a beautiful historic place and so romantic. Our ceremony in the Original Marriage room was perfectly led by the lovely registrar and Morag guided us through the whole thing as though we were the first bride and groom to ever tie the knot with them. Thank you so much from Mr & Mrs Pomfret xx
I got married here on the 8th June 2018 was an amazing experience couldn't of asked for a better wedding Sandy our minister was awesome, Colin Carpenter done a great job of our photos and Frank loored all the tourists away so we could get our photo taken under the sculpture it was warm and welcoming from start to finish could not recommend enough, Thanks for a great time xx
My husband entered your 12 days of christmas competition and he won the Smiths hotel DB&B we would like to say a big thank you for the lovely relaxing stay and the delicious breakfast and 3 course meal, our room was spotlessly clean all staff are friendly and helpful. We were married at Famous Blacksmith Shop in 2006 and had our wedding reception at Smiths we also had our 10 year anniversary blessing there so Smiths hotel will always be a special place to us thank you again �
We visited Gretna Green for our the weekend,we found the overall atmosphere and experience of the blacksmiths shop very moving and it was the perfect romantic getaway for our 11th wedding anniversary! X
We got married on 30th July the venue is magical the staff are superb as was the minister. Everything we asked for help with was unconditionally forthcoming. If you are looking for intimacy and a unique wedding this is definitely something anyone should consider.
We were married at the Blacksmith's Shop on 28th July and had the most perfect day! The atmosphere in and around the Blacksmith's is amazing and everyone commented on what a lovely wedding venue it was. We can't wait to return for a wee visit!
Lovely place to visit we were on national coach trip well worth the visit
Married on 5th January 2018 was amazing the staff were helpful and always happy I was so nervous as it was just myself and my now husband, every one made me feel special. Fantastic place highly recommended thank you for a fantastic wedding x
Got married on the 24th of May 2018 and had the most amazing day from start to finish. It was just the two of us but it was perfect. We stayed at Smiths hotel in the Rose suite which was wonderful. A day we will never forget. Thank you from Mr and Mrs Charlton ����
Fabulous and well worth the visit. The museum wasn’t expensive and the maze was a lovely thing to do. Very good.
Got married at the Blacksmiths on Friday 29th June and Frank and the registra was amazing. Even though it was the last wedding of the day they still made it personal and made us feel like we were the only ones they dealt with that day. Frank also showed me around the day before even when I turned up unannounced and quite late in the day. He's a real credit to you x
Me and my husband loved it here! We had a joint wedding on April 5Th and it was an amazing experience. Everything about our wedding day was great, everything went so smoothly, we will definatly be coming back for one of our anniversarys! <3
1st time in gretner green, lovely place. My husband and I had a good laugh going round the lovers made. Shopping is quite good but the story in the blacksmith tour was fantastic.
Defiantly worth a visit

Stopped on the way to Orkney and was very impressed, a nice place
Frank, our Blacksmith guide was brilliant. We arranged a Handfasting to renew our vows ( 21 years on ) and celebrate 25 years of our relationship. We could not have asked for a more perfect or fitting location and ceremony than we had. The venue is superb.
Visited on 26TH June 2018 to celebrate our 20th anniversary . Was met by the wonderful Frank who was so pleased we had returned and took us through the museum. We then had the honour of being asked to be witnesses for a couple who had travelled up from dunstable . It made our 20th anniversary even more special! Special thanks to Frank and Morag you were both so lovely �

A most memorable day for us. Friday, June 22nd 2018, we had an anvil hand fasting vow renewal ceremony to celebrate our 10th Wedding Anniversary. It was amazing. A fantastic experience. I'm unsure what I was expecting, maybe a clinical, routine, commercial ceremony? How wrong I was. The ceremony, conducted by the lovely Ian, was extremely well delivered in a very personal, individual, sentimental and emotional manner. It felt very special and intimate, as though the verses had been written just for us. I can't explain just how wonderful it was and it wasn't a swift 'in and out' service either - I think it was about a half hour ceremony. Ian made us feel all loved up and closer than ever. I was happy that we could take our dogs in with us too - canine witnesses. Paw prints on the certificate :-) I love the horseshoe we were given and the certificate too. Receiving a copy of the ceremony is a great touch. Awesome. WOW. Thank you to Vikki for booking us in. Huge thanks to Ian for making the occasion so very special for us, amazing. Thanks to the ladies in the shop too for their help in supplying flowers and tartan scarf as a momento. x
was just catching my coach connection with shearings going home after hogmmanay in scotland amd i enjoyed my visit lovely place to visit
My husband an I had a Handfasting ceremony here on the 23rd June to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. This was conducted by the lovely Frank who made it feel very personal for us. He even took the time to take photos of our celebration of which were fantastic . This experience surpassed all of our expectations and will be a treasured memory.
This was such a find. I had no idea of the history behind Gretna Green. We did the experience, which was £6.95 for an adult and was worth every penny. Full of history and how legislation changed marriage, together with some personal accounts and stories. It was beautifully presented.
Very friendly service from staff too.
There are several shops, a restaurant and an outdoor area with a maze and play area for children.
It's a really special place and truly worth a visit.
We can't recommend Gretna Green Famous Blacksmiths Shop enough! We got married here last week, and the staff were all fantastic, and we had the most magical day!
We visited the Gretna Green experience the day before our wedding, and we loved finding out about the history of the building that we were going to get married in!
We also enjoyed the food in the restaurant and received excellent service from Ewan.
Had a lovely afternoon here at Gretna Green. We had the handfasting blessing. The setting and service conducted by the lovely lass Hope. She made the the whole experience for my wife and I very special. Xx. Will remember that day xx thank you to to the chap in the shop the bagpipe player and the lady in the office. You all made our day. Xx thank you xx yours sincerely Steve and Annie and Luna xx
The Famous Gretna Green I think everyone should pay a visit to this charming place in stunning Scotland at list once in their lifetime.
Very touristy place but definitely worth a visit.
Lovely little shops where you can buy some fine Scotish whisky.
Also its a famous place to get married 😀
Very touristy and a bit pricey. Lots of expensive Scotish items for sale. Some nice jewellery. Nice buildings. Cafe was clean and reasonably priced for a tourist hot spot. Friendly staff and clean toilets. Free entry.
Great day out . Lots of history and things to see and do . Also great shops with lots of local produce and products . We went to look at the area for wedding plans we also used the resurante and was great value and great size portion. Will use again when in the area next .
Stopped off here whilst on our journey back home from Girvan Scotland. Lovely little cafe and takeaway and souvenir shop. Grassed area by the touring caravan so you can take your dog for a walk. Loads of clean toilets.
National Holidays did a stop here on way home was busy in cafe and shops but still lovely to have a walk around saw 1 wedding! Piper was amazing too
We got married here on Halloween! It was perfect, just right for our little family.
The process of setting up the marriage ran so smoothly also.
We went to the lake district and we decided to go out of our way to visit here as it's a must have to say 'I've been to Scotland' when you think of border towns you think immediately of Gretna. Its a lovely place to stop for the views. And the food and shops. You can get all things Scotland here. From tartan hats to westie plush toys. The play areas are fun for the kids too. Our 2 year old loved the open grass areas and the play areas
