Meet Caroline - LAKE DISTRICT Wedding Planner
Wedding Planner extraordinaire
Planning a wedding is one of the most stressful things in life… but when you choose Cote How as your wedding venue, you get complete access to me, Caroline, as an experienced Lake District wedding planner.
Whether you’ve already decided to marry in the Lake District or you’re still considering, it’s lovely to ‘meet’ you. I’m Caroline, the owner and wedding planner at Cote How Lake District Weddings, our beautiful Lake District wedding venue in Rydal. Along with our small team, I am privileged to plan and deliver beautifully crafted weddings in the heart of the Lakes.
Our wedding venue is exclusive to you, supporting you both through your wedding planning journey. With our expertise, we have been helping couples like you for over a decade. Cote How is not just another Lake District venue—it is a magical wedding experience.
Before I was a Wedding PLanner
As a wedding dress designer, wedding planning was a natural step when I moved to Cote How. The house was a thriving organic tearoom and bed & breakfast, but I missed working with wedding couples and knew Cote How could offer so much more. Living here is magical, and I wanted to share that experience. So I began converting the house and barn and gained our wedding license. In 2013, we hosted our first wedding – and have never looked back! I remember our first wedding as if it was yesterday. And here we are ten years and hundreds of weddings later. Cote How Lake District Weddings has grown beyond our wildest dreams. Being part of your wedding journey is the most incredible privilege, and I love what I do.


What Are the Benefits of Having a LAKE DISTRICT wedding planner?
The best way to answer this question is to tell you what our couples tell us…
Wedding planning can feel overwhelming. Some of the decisions are not easy, but advice, guidance, and support from an experienced professional is a huge help. It’s the best feeling in the world when your wedding day is everything you hoped it would be, and that’s where we come in. We make the whole process stress-free. All our thoughts and consideration go into making sure every detail is perfect. From decor and flowers to cake and food, we take care of the details so you can focus on other things.

what's the first step to PLanning A Lake District Wedding?
It’s good to talk! Life is hectic, but it’s worth investing fifteen minutes to chat on the phone to see if our Lake District Wedding Venue is right for you.
If Cote How is the perfect match for your vision, I reserve your wedding date in our diary, and we decide on the best wedding style to suit you and your guests. When you’re all signed up, our journey begins. Together, we plan the schedule for your wedding day, and are at the end of the phone or email if you need us. I help you find a trusted photographer, make-up artist, hair stylist, dog chaperone, and wedding childcare. We advise on reliable transport and local places to stay. It’s all part of our full wedding planning service and commitment to you that comes with getting married here. You are in safe hands!
