Wedding Planners Gretna Green

Gretna Green is a village located in the Southern part of Scotland, UK and is known to be the place that many couples prefer to choose in the celebration of their wedding event. The place has become famous because in the early times it approved marriages of couples that didn’t have the legal age or the parental consent of getting married. This is the place where many English couples fled in order to have their love sealed and as such to get married although their families didn’t agree with this act.

The act of joining the couple into a marriage was performed by the local blacksmith; therefore his anvil has become a symbolic mark that is found today on the façade of many inns and places that can run a wedding ceremony conducted by an “anvil priest” as he is locally called.  As one of the most popular places that offer a fast ceremonial of a wedding, next to Las Vegas, Elkton (in Maryland) and Reno (Nevada), Gretna Green is chosen yearly by more than 5,000 couples to host their act of marriage.

Due to this fact, the wedding planning industry has lately gained weight in the range of business activities opened inside and around Gretna Green village.  Some of the places that wedding planners in Gretna Green would recommend as beautiful venues for your wedding celebration is Gretna Hall Blacksmith Courtyard. This place has been originally a manor before being turned into an inn and is surrounded by beautiful gardens including a gazebo and a pond.



There are also present three rooms that can host the celebration of a wedding: The Blacksmith Workshop, The Cottage and The Linton Room – the last one carrying the name of John Linton, a blacksmith in the 1800’s  who has performed many wedding ceremonies as a marrying blacksmith. Linton Room holds also the original register and once you sign in it you become part of the 200 years of history that governs the place.



Another place that wedding planners in Gretna Green would gladly recommend to a marrying couple is The Mill Forge. Designed in a Scottish Chapel style, the venue is known to be very quite and romantic as well due to the presence of Rose Garden, The Fountain Garden which includes a gazebo and the symbolically called kissing gate. These ones offer pretty good sceneries for the photos taken at your wedding celebration.

The Anvil Hall, is an 1900 built church that has been refurbished and it is known to be the most favorite in the range of the couples that need to have their ceremony performed by either a minister or a registrar. The wedding planning services include photographers, florists, caterers, Scottish piper, transportation, the wedding attire (kilt and wedding dress) and of course a band that can ensure the entertainment program of your wedding reception. Every detail that is incorporated in your wedding unfolding can be personalized in that it can wear as a special brand your names and the date of your commitment.



You can choose also from the various types of Scottish beverages, the most preferred one being the Scottish whiskey, and have the label of the specific bottle personalized according to your own choice of color, picture and of course wording in order to get the desired design and have this bottle presented as a thank you gift for each member of your wedding assembly.
