This truly delightful setting will add that little bit of extra something to your big day so, if you’re considering getting married in the Lake District or you’re looking for some wedspiration, these 5 reasons to do so might just sway you.

Having glittering lakes and serene woodlands surrounding you as you’re getting wed will make the day even more special – not to mention, they’ll look great in the wedding pictures!

The venue is one of the biggest parts of a wedding; a venue sets the tone of the day and can make or break the theme of your wedding. The Lake District plays host to an array of beautiful hotels and country houses which would be perfect for any wedding.
We spoke to Lake District Country Hotels who said: “Many of our couples come from far and wide to get married in the Lakes. With classic, old buildings offering both comfort and style on the big day, it’s certainly worth making the trip. Our landscaped gardens and delightful views add an extra special touch to the atmosphere and the wedding pictures.”

Regardless of what you’re into, you and your guests will easily be able to find some great activities to get involved in before and after the nuptials. Kayaking, climbing, and watersports are all on the cards for those who enjoy a bit of adventure and there are plenty of children’s outdoor pursuits on offer.
