Gifford provides the perfect backdrop for a wedding. Weddings in East Lothian are usually tranquil affairs in and around the picturesque villages of the county. In the Parish of Yester, Gifford retains much of the charm it has had since its inception as a settlement in 1709. The village is named after Sir Hugo de Gifford of Yester, said to be a 13th century wizard. Whether he had magical powers or not, Gifford is truly a magical place.

The town church has been a much loved feature in Gifford and is of course a popular choice for traditional Weddings in East Lothian services. Built in 1710, the Bell in the church tower is even older, dating from the 15th century.
The Mercat Cross, built in 1780 still stands in the town square. Photo opportunities abound in Gifford with the many historic landmarks and buildings, the village green, and surrounding picturesque landscape.
