thanks for your comments, im finding it hard to visualise and i cant find any resonable pics online, but from what ppl have said it sounds lovely xx

We're getting married in August at Gretna - but at the Gretna Hall Linton Suite. There's only about 20 of us - then we're having our reception at the Solway Lodge hotel. At the moment we've sorted the reception (3 course meal at £24 per head) - but for the evening we're going into the hotel bar (not sure whether to organise a disco with there only being 20 of us).

We visited Gretna last January and even though it was the middle of winter it was lovely. The people are so friendly as well. We booked through the wedding bureau and called into the Gretna Hall. At the time there wasn't any weddings on, so we mentioned that we'd booked for August 2011. They checked their book and because we were down the man took us to the Linton Suite and even talked us through what will happen on the day etc. It settled our nerves a bit as well lol.

We're going back up at the beginning of May - to take our M10 forms - but for a look around as well (they'll probably be a few weddings going on that day as well) - I can't wait. I've read nothing but good reviews about Gretna weddings - and the Mill Forge - so you'll be fine Gemma.

Thanks so much, well ive decided that im going to try and get up there this month at some point just to be sure its what i want, h2b cant get time off so taking my mum (i know she'll let me know if there's anything that's not right lol).

My sister got married in the little chapel there..
i couldnt go as i was 9 months pregnant but it looked awesome...

xx

Love this post! I was wanting the Mill Forge and had been looking at it for months. H2B kind of talked me out of it as we're about 3+ hours drive away (Mr Practicality) but I'm going to put it forward as a consideration again. I sort of had my heart set on it but was worried about my guests travelling. Thanks ladies for having such positive things to say about it. :)

Some of our guests are just coming up for the one night as well, as we're getting married at 2.45pm. We've booked our meal for 5pm then the night in the hotel bar. We're going up the day before and our bm, best man and parents (and one of my aunties) are staying the two nights with us.

It's not that long now. We got engaged in October 2009 and it seemed ages away - but since new year I can't believe how close it is now.

Congratulation to u all ladies .Iv booked with Gretna wedding and have had no probs with the barue they have been very helpful. We went to stay at our venue Whitcroft mansion and found the staff very helpful as wellas Comlongon Castle . I feel very relaxed about our Wedding in April cant wait.the whole wedding is costing just under £5000.

thanks Gemma , same to u . wer traveling up on my birthday 21st so we can go into hamilton to pick up the kilts ,i can't wait to see the guys in them lol

Mine wasnt going to go for it till we went to the kilt shop to have a look ,then he changed his mind he thought it looked very smart.also it worked out £30 cheaper for each outfit .and as a joke were getting st georges boxers as were getting married on St Georges day . x

pml my boys r skinny too , iv told them they have to wax lol. my nethew who only 9 says hes not wearing a skirt but soon came round when he saw the outfit . i wasnt botherd what they wore as long as they are all happy with the idea. x

did anyone get married at the mill forge and used one of their packages we are looking at the romance package which includes a 4course meal and 2 nights in the bridal suite for me and my oh. but we are wondering has anyone got married their where their was no guests just you and oh and used their witnesses?
