Short but ever so Sweet
Intimate micro weddings in the Lakes
Are you looking for a licensed wedding venue in a place that you love, where you can enjoy just your legal civil ceremony in a stunning location without having to spend the earth?
Couples are often looking for a location close to their hearts, where they can capture those precious moments with immediate family and friends in a fantastic place and with photographic memories in a stunning area, but without the cost and additional time required for a full day or weekend celebration.
If you love the Lakes, perhaps come here every year, and this place is special for you, then making your vows to each other in this amazing place is perfect.
Our Lake District Micro Weddings are simply perfect for this… Enjoy your arrivals and wedding ceremony in a choice of licensed spaces, followed by a relaxed drinks reception on our beautiful garden terrace. Once your group and family portraits are done, enjoy time out, just the two of you, with a romantic stroll to the lake shores of Rydal Water, only a few minutes through our wildflower meadow. Here your photographer will capture those precious portraits amid these awe-inspiring backdrops.
Our Lake District Micro Weddings of up 24 people are just perfect. Choose either a:
- The 2-Hour Classic wedding ceremony with a drinks reception
- The 4-Hour Afternoon wedding ceremony, drinks reception, light bites and toast drinks
The 4-Hour option is an afternoon wedding ceremony as above followed by an informal mini reception to include toast drinks and light bites served in the wedding barn or on the terrace al-fresco style.

Jayne & Chris's Micro Wedding
Just wanted to say a massive thankyou to you all for such a perfect day yesterday. We could not have asked for any better in any way.
Everyone commented on how lovely you all are and how beautiful it was.
Even my Dad, who is a man of very few words couldn’t speak highly enough of you all.
Thankyou again so much.

Jayne and Chris's 2-Hour Classic lake district WEDDING
Below is a short YouTube video showing a selection of images of Jayne and Chris’s 2-Hour wedding here at Cote How. All the photos are by Rachel Joyce Photography.
During the Coronavirus pandemic in September 2021, the drinks reception on the house terrace was socially distanced.
Jayne and Chris come to the Lakes every year for their short breaks and decided that a small and intimate Lake District Micro Wedding in a place they love was perfect for them after ten years together. They didn’t want a large wedding back at home, where they felt under pressure to have a much bigger wedding than they wanted, so going away to get married was the perfect solution for them.
We set up the ceremony outside the wedding barn’s open doors so their guests could sit outside in the lovely sunshine while Jayne and Chris made their vows just inside the doorway of the barn. The ceremony was beautiful – Interspersed with their own favourite love songs, which we played outdoors via our Sonos sound system.
After the ceremony, they led their guests up onto the house terrace for their drinks reception, when Rachel took the opportunity to take lots of lovely candid shots and family portraits on the lawn in the bright sunshine.
Jayne and Chris then left their guests with us as they took timeout alone with their photographer to capture some amazing portrait shots by the lakeshore of Rydal Water, in the flower meadow and along the river bank, before rejoining their guests on the terrace at Cote How.
