Winter Weddings

Small, intimate and full of love

Stunning Winter Weddings

Why choose a winter wedding?

When it’s cold and crisp outside, nothing beats a real fire and twinkling candlelight to spark romantic winter wedding ideas! The Lake district is quieter during the winter months, making accommodation and travelling easier. If you love the great outdoors, you can enjoy solitude on the fells, and winter brings cold, high-pressure weather with great visibility for beautiful mountain views. Winter wedding photography can be much more dramatic! What more could you ask for in a Lake District wedding Venue? 

Cosy...

Winter conjures up wonderful memories of cosy log fires and gentle, flickering candlelight. Cote How brings you the warmth of hearth and home.

Stunning...

Picture-perfect views of our most celebrated landscapes in the heart of the Lakes, surrounded by breathtaking views.

Exclusive...

A hidden gem and private sanctuary, Cote How's exclusive use guarantees peace and tranquility on your wedding day.

Celebrate...

Fron Nov through to March, winter is the perfect time to press pause on busy lives, and enjoy precious moments of celebration.
