Welcome to Tartan Carriages of Gretna Green

We are proud to be Gretna Green's Premier Wedding carriage service.


We are a family run Horse and Carriage service based in Gretna Green, covering South Scotland and North England. We have over 28 years experience and have seen modern fashions come and go. We feel nothing beats the tradition of  2 stunning horse's dressed with white plumes pulling a traditional carriage to a wedding.

Gretna Green is Scotlands World famous venue for runaways and lovers alike. Tradition has it that runnaway couples have been eloping across the border at high speed in the finest horse drawn carriage to get Wed for centuries. - We at Tartan Carriages believe in keeping that dream alive.

Having made Wedding dreams come true over many years we are proud to serve those wishing to feel the art of romance. Let us make your dream come true for your wedding or civil partnerships.
