Gretna Registration Office
Civil marriages prior to 1991 were conducted in an office on shared premises with the local rent office and dentist. This small office could not cope with the amount of requested civil ceremonies and many couples were re-directed to other venues throughout the district. The current Registration Office on Central Avenue was opened on 2 September 1991 by Pat Bryden MBE, who upon retiring from being the Registrar for Gretna had solemnised over 10 000 marriage ceremonies. Hours of business: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday: 9.00 am - 1.00 pm & 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm, Thursday: 9.30 am - 1.00 pm & 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm. (Office is closed every Monday).
