Venue with a romantic history
We don't even live in Scotland, but we love the history of Gretna green and after having to cancel our original plans due to covid and loosing deposits we have decided to have a far more scaled down intimate wedding with less than 25people and the packages they offer are very competitive.Next year when we get married we will have been together 20years.
