Our Elopement WEDDING Packages...
Eloping is a more spontaneous “let’s get married—just the two of us” approach to wedding planning. It is more associated with keeping it low-key and involving no guests.
As a small and intimate wedding venue, we have been offering elopement weddings since we began, and are constantly developing new ideas and a range of elopement ideas to embrace all your circumstances. Whether it’s just the two of you, or you wish to include your young children or family dog, we have a flexible elopement wedding style to meet your unique needs.
The Choice is Yours...
Our statement 2-hour morning elopement with your wedding ceremony, celebratory drinks and a romantic lakeside stroll - Just your two ...
Our most popular choice for outdoor adventurers. A 3-hour afternoon elopement, with additional time to explore our stunning location...
Our luxury wedding for two, with an overnight stay in our Honeymoon Suite, and get ready in style in our elegant Beauty Room...
A two-hour morning elopement in our fairytale setting including your little ones, with the joy and love they bring to this very special family occasion...
Can't bear the thought of marrying without your best friend?
This wedding incorporates your four-legged friend into the ceremony too...
Our Licensed Ceremony Spaces...
Recent trends towards eloping in remote and wild places have seen a shift in demand for adventure-style elopements. To be legally married in England you still require a licensed venue; Cote How offers a stunning venue set in the heart of a world heritage location – The English Lake District – with amazing views in every direction. We have a choice of licensed elopement ceremony spaces, to reflect your personality and style.
Our licensed spaces are beautifully designed to be a cosy and intimate space for two and can be indoor or outdoor, depending on the time of year and your preferences.
Note: The Fairfield Ceremony Room is only available for weddings of more than EIGHT people.

Elopement WEDDING REVIEW
Adele and Michael booked an adventure elopement just 6 months before their wedding day!
They opted for Jenna Carpenter as their Elopement Wedding Photographer and their photos were amazing…
‘Wow! Where do I start? Our day was just how we imagined it would be, and more, thanks to you guys. We wanted a calm, quiet, intimate wedding personalised just to suit us and that’s what we got from start to finish. We felt welcomed, at home, and joyful during our stay at Cote How. The team made our day seem effortless and nothing was too much trouble for them. If we could do it all again, we wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you for everything.
