Lake District Weddings | Lodore Falls

The Wedding Breakfast

 

Your guests will be greeted in the comfortable lounges overlooking the lake with a welcome drink served on silver trays by our cocktail waiters.

Weather permitting your party can enjoy their drinks in the lovely gardens with direct access from the lounge bar, whilst you are having your photos taken. Later on proceed to the Garden Suite, which will be beautifully prepared for your wedding with crisp white linen and silver candelabras.

 

The large selections of imaginative menus ranging from traditional 3 course menus to more elaborate themed menus or dressed buffets can be difficult to decide upon, but with the help of both the manager and also, if you wish, the head chef, whom you are welcome to stay in direct contact with on chef.lodore@lakedistricthotels.net, you can be assured that the food will be exceptional.

 

Capturing the moment

 

Such a special day must be remembered forever and the photography is an important part of the wedding day. At the Lodore Falls Hotel you are assured of some memorable wedding photographs, you may even find it difficult to decide which of the many photo opportunities will best suit you.

Step outside and have your pictures taken in the beautiful landscaped gardens, or walk onto the hotel's charming packhorse bridge with the spectacular lake and mountain scenery in the background. Take a stroll up to the Falls and you have a unique backdrop with the cascading water over the crags, or walk down to the lake and the jetty and another stunning photo opportunity presents itself.

 

The Evening Function

 

If you would like to extend your wedding day into the evening and add entertainment in the form of a disco, a live band or even a ceilidh, the Lodore Falls Hotel is ideal and can accommodate up to 120 people. A buffet for a minimum number of guests must be taken.

 

The Civil Ceremony

 

To gather family and close friends together for a civil wedding ceremony is a less formal way ­ yet a unique experience for everybody involved in celebrating the marriage promise between two people.

At The Lodore Falls Hotel we have the experience in carrying out these wonderful ceremonies in line with the regulations and licensing requirements and are happy to describe in detail to the wedding couple the running of a civil wedding.

 

You can choose between three approved suites offering flexibility when it comes to numbers ­ from smaller more intimate gatherings to much larger celebrations.

 

An 'Out of Season' Wedding

 

All seasons are special in the Lake District ­ in the Autumn when the colours change to golden orange, in the Winter when the mountain tops are covered in snow, in the Spring when the daffodils and bluebells cover the ground or in the Summer when long evenings can be enjoyed al fresco. However, as many of our weddings are on a Saturday during the Summer, we can now offer you a special rate if you can arrange your wedding midweek (Sunday to Thursday) or out of season, ie. November to March (excluding december).

 

Or why not come during December when the hotel is elaborately decorated with festive Christmas decorations and the hotel has the most warming and welcoming atmosphere.
