Such an amazing weekend
We got married at Gretna Hall Hotel in June 2024. Our marriage room was the coach house, which is absolutely stunning and full of history. We stayed in both the Sheridan suite and a patio room, both rooms were upto an excellent standard. The food was lovely, one of the best hotel breakfasts we’ve ever had too! The actual wedding day ran so smoothly and we couldn’t believe how well it went. We spent the day after relaxing in the sunshine on the grounds and couldn’t have wished for a better day! The staff at Gretna Hall hotel and all the staff at the Gretna head office have been absolutely fantastic. I would recommend a Gretna wedding to anyone.

Amazing place to be married
My husband and I got married in the Courtyard room at Gretna hall hotel. It was beautiful. We stayed in the Sheridan bridal suite . A room full of history with a hidden little bit of history inside the wall ... The whole process of booking the wedding and the day itself was handled by staff so well I wasn't stressed with planning at all as they sorted so much of it for you within your package. The area surrounding the hall are beautiful even in the rain as we got married in autumn so the colours on the trees were just amazing.

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Gretna Hall Hotel ?

It's too hard to pick one, but one of the most memorable moments was when we lent a couple a staff member's ring as they had forgotten theirs! It was a small gesture, but it meant the world to them!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Absolutely, stick to your budget! It's easy to get carried away with all the bells and whistles of wedding planning, but keeping a close eye on your budget makes sure that you enjoy the journey of booking your dream day without the stress!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Again, too many great ideas to name - one that warms my heart was a photo of the bride's grandma in a locket was wrapped around her bouquet so that she walked her down the aisle - as she promised.
