Springkell

Springkell is a stunning Palladian Mansion built in 1734, located just six miles from historic Gretna Green. The house and grounds provide a stunning venue for everything from a spectacular, large wedding to a small and intimate celebration.

Your Wedding

At Springkell customisation is standard. The property allows for much flexibility and can host weddings from 2 to 150 people! (250 in the marquee)

You can marry inside or outside, or alternatively you could get married in your own church and have your reception onwards at Springkell.

Inside, the wedding room, with its elegant 2m mirror surrounded by Italian marble, can hold up to 150 guests, 100 seated and 50 standing. Complete with an aisle, it also has separate entrances, one for each of the wedding couple. All ceremonies are candlelit, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere in this beautiful and impressive room.

Outdoor weddings take place in the romantic round garden with views over the beautifully kept formal gardens and parkland. In addition there is a sweeping Italian stone staircase with a balcony on which to frame some lovely wedding day photographs.

You and your guests can also use the formal rooms, including the black and white marble entrance hall complete with 4 marble pillars, the portrait gallery which leads to the wedding room and the music room.

Once the ceremony is over, you can then move into the main hall for your reception. The hall, which can hold up to 180 guests (120 for a sit-down meal), is simply stunning and boasts marble pillars and black and white marble flooring.

The lovely ballroom is the location for your wedding breakfast, where you and your guests can enjoy whatever entertainment you chose.

You will be provided with a dedicated wedding coordinator and everything can be arranged for you, from accommodation to flowers and your dining requirements.

Springkell is fully licensed to host civil, religious, and humanist wedding ceremonies, same-sex civil partnerships ceremonies, and wedding blessings, both inside the house and in the gardens.
