We don’t really need to tell you why to get married in the Lake District – it really does speak for itself – but if you are unsure, let us reassure you that this is one of the best places to get married in the UK! Click on any of the pictures to find out more about that wedding venue…
1. Wedding Backdrop
Obviously, the first great reason to get married here is the incredible backdrop you will have in your wedding photos. The scenery in the Lake District is unlike any other part of the country with rolling hills and enormous world-renowned lakes. Your wedding photos will be something you will treasure forever so make sure you have a good background!
2. Tourists
This may not sound like a great reason to get married here but we may be able to persuade you otherwise. The Lake District is one of the most visited parts of the UK; 15.8 million visit every year. Some people will travel thousands of miles to see its beauty. As it is such a sought after location just to look at, why wouldn’t you want to get married there?
Also, the size of the Lake District ensures you won’t have a paparazzi of tourists surrounding you.
3. Guests More Willing to Travel
If you don’t live in the Lake District or perhaps most of your friends and family live elsewhere, picking a location such as this compared to Sunderland for example will make them more willing to come as they can create a weekend getaway with your wedding in a beautiful location. Therefore, you will have more of the guests that you wish to invite.
4. Pet-friendly
The whole of the Lake District is very pet friendly, often advertised as a place to go on holiday with your dogs for long walks and runs. That means that venues in this location are much more likely to allow dogs to your wedding.
5. Historic Wedding Venues
Throughout this nation’s history, the Lake District has always been a location for holiday homes for the high society and royal court. That means that there is now an abundance of beautiful country manors and grand estates that host weddings.
It’s also full of farmland which means there are many incredible converted wedding barns too with exposed oak beams and beautiful brickwork!
6. Incredible Food
You’re pretty much guaranteed great food at your wedding in the Lake District due to the ingredients the area provides. Most venues will serve organic locally grown vegetables, fell bred lamb, locally raised meat and even fish.
7. World Heritage Status
The Lake District isn’t just held in high regard in the UK. Imagine marrying in a location with World Heritage Status! Recently, the Lake District became a UNESCO World Heritage site, a very well-deserved designation, praised for its natural beauty, farming and inspiration to the worlds’ greatest artists and writers like Wordsworth.
8. Come Rain or Shine
If it does rain, the Lake District is one of few places in the UK that it really won’t bother you. The area is so naturally beautiful, it looks incredible when snow covers the ground, the sun is in the sky and especially when autumn colours illuminate the landscape. This place is great in every season and in every weather type.
Also, the amount of country manors here ensures your wedding party will be perfectly comfortable inside when it gets a little chilly!
9. Peace and Quiet
There is one thing about weddings that brides are already well aware of when they come to UKbride; weddings are stressful! After weeks, months or maybe years of planning your special day, the last thing you want is stress, noise and rushing. The Lake District’s serenity and tranquility will make sure that you enjoy your wedding day and can take time to breathe.
10. A Minimoon to Remember
You are in the ideal location for a ‘mini’ moon or even a full blown honeymoon. Spend a few days after the wedding taking in the sights, hiking mountains, breathing fresh air and sailing around the lakes. It’s the perfect way to remember the place you tied the knot.
You may even be able to include this in a wedding package!
