The Queensberry Arms has been providing couples with an exceptional wedding experience which we believe is second to none. With outstanding facilities and services to our clients for over 100 years we offer a quite unique day. The terrific Scottish hospitality and the historical atmosphere have ensured that all weddings have been of exceptional quality and a true enjoyment to all concerned.

With our experience and commitment to your special day we will organise the entire event from start to finish. The civil service, flowers, Cars, "The Cake", your honeymoon suite, cards, table dressing, and even the entertainment.

A complete service leaving you free to enjoy the experience of your special day in the company of the one and one's you love.

The Queensberry Arms is situated just outside Gretna Green, the home of the romantic anvil and Black Smiths Shop. The picturesque setting that this area offers is quite exceptional. Whether you choose to have your wedding in Gretna or not, your photos can be very special and set in some of the most historical spots in Scotland.

The Queensberry Arms Hotel has 24 en-suite rooms, a selection of honeymoon suites and a number of function room's ideal for all sizes of wedding parties.

On arrival at the hotel after your wedding ceremony you and your guests will be shown into our Reception lounge where you will be offered drinks of your choice to relax before your wedding breakfast. There will also be a bar available.

Cutting the cake. It is our desire to accommodate our guests wishes. If you would like to cut the cake prior to the wedding breakfast we will organise this. However, should you wish to cut the cake at any other point we can accommodate this easily.

At a time of your choosing, our Master of Ceremonies will announce the wedding breakfast and call for all guests to be seated. Once everyone excluding the Bride and Groom is seated in our Queensberry Suite our master of ceremonies will then ask everyone to be upstanding to welcome the Bride and Groom.

Once the meal is over and the coffee and toast drinks have been served, it is time for the speeches to take place. These are traditionally done in the following order:

Brides Father ~ Says a few words and proposes toasts to the Bride and Groom and thanks the guests ¨ Bridegroom ~ Replies to the Brides Father, thanks both sets of parents, best man, Bridesmaids and Ushers and proposes a toast ¨ Best Man ~ Thanks the Bride and Groom on behalf of himself and the Bridesmaids, then reads the telegrams

This is traditional. However, should you have alternative ideas, these can be included. Its your day and we are here to make it the best, so whatever you wish, we will do our utmost to achieve for you.

Once all formalities have been completed, you and your guests are free to enjoy the evening.

If you have chosen to have an evening reception, we will clear the tables and re-set the room. You can then dance the night away to the entertainment of your choice.

The important point is that you relax and enjoy your day.
