Intimate Family Wedding in the Lake District
INTIMATE family WEDDING IN THE LAKE DISTRICT
Ryan and Emma first came to meet us after falling in love with the Lake District. We took a stroll around Cote How and chatted about all things wedding. They had always wanted a small and intimate family wedding, with a guest list of very close family and friends. Cote How was perfect for Ryan and Emma’s relaxed, laid-back wedding style, in a place they both loved.

A PASSION FOR THE LAKES and nature
Emma and Ryan visited the Lakes for the first time around five years ago. It was their first trip away together, and they instantly fell in love with the area. It was a special place where they could both share their love of the outdoors. It naturally followed then that their perfect wedding destination would be in the Lakes too!


WHAT THEIR SMALL DAY WEDDING INCLUDED
Our happy couple opted for an all-inclusive summer day wedding. This is our most popular wedding style with an all-inclusive package to take the strain out of wedding planning.
It includes:
- Classic drinks reception – meeting and greeting time on the house terrace
- An intimate wedding ceremony in a choice of locations, both indoors and out
- A post-ceremony drinks and canapes reception
- Plenty of time for taking photographs in and around the grounds
- A stroll to the lakeshores of Rydal Water for wedding portraits in the meadow and along the lakeshore.
- The traditional cutting of the cake to mark the start of the meal. The cake, knife, and stand are included
- A toast for the speeches
- Fresh wedding flowers, both for the happy couple and the venue.
- A delicious, freshly prepared three-course dinner in the rustic 16th-century barn
- Wine and tea or coffee with dessert




What Ryan and emma had to say...
“As soon as we met Caroline and Steve we knew we were in good hands! Not only is Cote How a truly beautiful and unique location, but you can feel the love and attention to detail they put into the venue. They made our intimate family wedding a magical occasion, understanding exactly how we wanted our wedding to feel and making our dream a reality. Everything was taken care of – flowers, cake and food, even during these Covid times. Communication and planning was so smooth, easy and completely stress free with nothing too much to ask or too silly to check. We are so pleased with our wonderful day, and so sad it couldn’t go on forever!! Thank you, Caroline & Steve for giving us the best day of our lives!”
