Offered Mondays - Wednesdays

Gretna Green, a small scottish village in
the south of Scotland became popular
for "runaway marriages" in 1753, when
English Parliament passed an act that
stated that if both parties to the marriage
 were not 21 years of age, parental consent
 was required. Since Scotland had no such
requirement, many couples fled England for
the first scottish village they encountered,
Gretna Green. Today, couples in love who want
to avoid the pomp and circumstance of a
formal wedding still travel to Gretna Green,
where over 5000 weddings a year are
performed.
For couples like these, we have
created the perfect elopement package.:
 The Gretna Green.
One and one-half hour appointments offered
 11am to 5pm several days each month:
Mondays through Thursdays,
You are welcome to bring your own witnesses,
 up to four guests, please. You may arrive up
to 30 minutes prior to ceremony time for advance
 preparations in our downstairs suites.
You must provide the Marriage License;
we will file it for you with officiate's signature.

Your arrival will be greeted by the soft strains of Celtic music, or the music of your choice. After presenting the bride with her bouquet, and the groom with his boutenniere, our officiate will join you in Marriage
before our huge fireplace in our timberframed Great Hall,
or
in one of our glorious garden settings with a spectacular backdrop of mountain views. After the marriage license is signed, you and your guests will enjoy a champagne toast, and the cutting of your "couples" cake.
One and a half hour appointments.
You may arrange for a photographer from our approved vendor list,
or bring your own.
