The Famous Blacksmiths Shop in Gretna Green has been igniting love for over 270 years, uniting runaway couples since 1754. This historic building stands almost unchanged, inviting modern lovers to carry on the legendary tradition. Weddings here can host between two and fifty guests across three romantic rooms, with all-inclusive packages that include a choice of two 4-star hotels, Smiths Hotel or Gretna Hall Hotel, to make your celebration unforgettable. Every ceremony echoes the clang of the anvil, where sparks of love have flown for centuries.
Message from the team
Name of Wedding Contact: Sophie
As the wedding manager at Gretna Green, I have the immense joy of helping couples take the bold leap into their happily ever after. And yes, I even said my own vows here! At Gretna Green Ltd, we proudly care for three iconic sites: the Famous Blacksmiths Shop, Gretna Hall, and Smiths Hotel. These are the only authentic Gretna Green venues where couples can have ‘Gretna Green’ engraved on their wedding certificate, carrying on a legendary tradition where sparks have flown for centuries.
