GG’s Yard – A Breathtaking Wedding Venue in Scotland
Tucked away in the heart of Dumfries and Galloway, GG’s Yard is one of Scotland’s most beautiful and unique wedding venues. Perched on a hillside overlooking the Solway Firth, it offers jaw-dropping views of the countryside and coastline – the kind of scenery that takes your breath away the moment you arrive.
Once a 250-year-old steading, GG’s Yard has been lovingly transformed into a modern-rustic wedding venue that effortlessly blends tradition with contemporary elegance. Original stone walls, exposed oak beams, and vast glass-fronted spaces come together to create a venue that feels both grand and intimate. It’s the kind of place where timeless charm meets modern style – perfect for couples looking for something a little bit different, but undeniably special.
At the heart of the venue is the Grand Gallery, a stunning space for ceremonies and receptions. With high ceilings, natural wood floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light, it provides a picture-perfect backdrop for your wedding day. Whether you’re dreaming of a summer celebration with the sun streaming in or a cosy winter wedding with log burners and soft candlelight, GG’s Yard can do it all.
One of the things that makes GG’s Yard truly special is how much it offers in one location. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by a sense of calm and luxury. There’s a beautiful Brides’ Room where you can get ready in peace, a relaxed Byre Lounge for catching up with guests, a chic whisky room, and a bar that flows seamlessly onto an outdoor terrace – ideal for champagne toasts and taking in the views.
And when it comes to accommodation, you’re spoiled for choice. GG’s Yard is part of the wider Laggan estate, which includes a collection of stylish “Sea View Snugs” – cosy, beautifully designed cabins that overlook the rolling hills and coastline. There are also charming cottages and the nearby Murray Arms hotel, so you and your guests can relax and truly make a weekend of it.
Food is another highlight here. The in-house catering team creates menus using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, tailored to suit your taste and style. Whether it’s a formal three-course meal or something more relaxed and rustic, the focus is always on quality and flavour.
But perhaps what sets GG’s Yard apart the most is the team. From your first visit to the last dance of the evening, they’re there to make everything run smoothly. Professional, warm, and genuinely passionate about weddings, they help bring your vision to life with care and attention to every little detail.
In short, GG’s Yard is more than just a venue – it’s a place where unforgettable memories are made. With its incredible setting, beautiful design, and heartfelt hospitality, it’s the perfect place to start your next chapter together.

On this occasion at GG’s Yard we used the venue Grand Piano for both the ceremony and indoor drinks reception. The piano had been recently tuned although there was a note which kept sticking which was a little frustrating. Nevertheless, on this occasion it made sense to used the venue piano, whilst Jules simply had to use his experience to work around the faulty note to ensure that no one would notice!
We really enjoyed being a part of Asha and Aidan’s wedding and it was a pleasure to provide the soundtrack to their wedding day. We wish them both all the very best as they embark on their future as husband and wife.
