THE PERFECT SMALL MICRO WEDDING venue

“Not too big and not too small.”

We understand why many couples choose to get married in the Lake District – it holds special memories of childhood holidays, family outings, and romantic proposals. Our Micro Weddings offer you your dream wedding in a stunning location, on a smaller and more affordable scale. Begin by sipping arrival drinks in our beautiful Woodrow reception room, or on the outdoor terrace, with breathtaking views of Rydal Valley. Choose a ceremony indoors or outdoors in our licensed spaces. A post-ceremony drinks reception is included, giving you and your closest family and friends a chance to toast your celebrations. Relax and enjoy the beautiful grounds or wander to the surrounding beauty spots, such as Rydal water, woods, and caves. It’s the perfect place for capturing those all-important Lake District wedding portraits.

and always Exclusively Yours
