Small Lake District Winter Weddings
and Christmas Winter Wedding Ideas
Stunning Winter Wedings
Why choose a winter wedding?
- Stunning Snow Capped Mountains
- Cosy Lake District Wedding Venues with real log fires
- Less busy with work, life and holidays
- More accommodation availability
- Less Traffic, more parking, less people on the fells
- More wedding Dates available
- Amazing time for Christmas Weddings
Then on a more practical note, the Lakes are so much quieter in the winter months, making accommodation and travelling much easier. If you are into the great outdoors, you can enjoy a quieter time on the fells. Winter usually brings lots of cold high-pressure weather with great visibility for those beautiful mountain views too
Take advantage of this when your winter wedding photography can be even more dramatic.

Christmas is one of our favourite times at Cote How, when the house and grounds are decked with lots of warm festive decorations, and is the perfect backdrop for a warm and cost winter wedding.
Why a christmas wedding? You may love this time of year too, and for many people December is the perfect time for getting away to the Lakes for a short break away form the shopping mayhem.
With this in mind we offer all of our winter weddings throughout December.

Eloping is fun and easy; just the two of you can escape together and tie the knot while on your mini break.
