Wedding Venues in Carlisle

We cannot thank everyone at Dalston Hall enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. From the moment we first visited the venue, we knew it was somewhere special, and the entire team exceeded our expectations every step of the way. A special thank you to Georgia, who showed us around the venue and made us fall in love with Dalston Hall from the very beginning. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and knowledge made such a wonderful first impression and helped us feel confident that we had found the perfect place for our wedding. We would also like to give our heartfelt thanks to Olivia, our wedding coordinator. Olivia was incredible throughout the planning process and on the day itself. She was always professional, organised, approachable, and reassuring. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to her hard work and attention to detail, the entire day flowed seamlessly, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. A huge thank you also goes to all the staff at Dalston Hall. Every member of the team was so friendly, kind, and attentive, and their dedication and hard work did not go unnoticed. They helped create such a welcoming atmosphere for us and our guests and played a huge part in making our day so memorable. We also have to mention the food, which was absolutely outstanding. It was beautifully presented, delicious, and enjoyed by all of our guests. We received so many compliments throughout the day about the quality of the meal. It was clear how much care and attention had gone into every detail, and it added so much to the overall experience. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but the team at Dalston Hall made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Their professionalism, talent, and genuine care for their couples truly set them apart. We are so grateful for everything you did for us and for helping create memories that we will treasure forever. We would not hesitate to recommend Dalston Hall to any couple looking for a beautiful venue and an exceptional team who genuinely care about making your wedding day everything you've dreamed of and more. Thank you all so much ❤️✨ Ross & Aleisha Curran

The staff at the Crown Hotel were soo good for my friends wedding last week! From start to finish, all the details were absolutely perfect. Watching my best friend walk down the aisle, I couldn't have been happier if it was my own big day. The food was superb and staff excellent along with it, Alison and her team were amazing. Will definitely be coming back!!

Myself and my now husband had the absolute pleasure of getting married at this most amazing venue in April 2026, and seriously I could not recommend this place and the incredible team enough. When we first went to go and view the venue, we could just feel how special of a place it was. Driving through past the cabins up to the barn is just breathtaking. We were looking for somewhere where ourselves and our guests could come for a real getaway feel, and we knew that this was the place just from the drive in! Knowing that we could hire the venue for the full weekend to create the perfect getaway experience was such a bonus too. Anyone questioning whether it is worth it- don’t. It’s a million percent worth it!!! We were so lucky that we met Robyn in our initial meeting and to have her on our big day and across the weekend. When we first looked at venues, hidden river was the very first place we visited, and we naively thought all the staff would be just as good. Unfortunately (for the other venues!) this was not the case anywhere else, Robyn being so attentive, Thoughtful, kind and relaxed really just blew any other venue out of the running. And as a bride, I knew there was no possibility of being stressed or feeling overwhelmed when having Robyn on the team. We did also have some unfortunate events on the build up and around our wedding, but the team could really not have been anymore kind or understanding, which again just put us hugely at ease. Thank you thank you THANK YOU!!! The barn itself is just the most incredible venue, photos almost don’t do it justice!! We really did have the most incredible day; the team were so attentive and accommodating. A special shoutout to the bar manager Bethany for looking after us and ensuring we had the most incredible time during the whole weekend! A true credit to the team. From the food, to the cottages, cabins, and venue and of course the staff, there wasn’t a single thing we can fault. We would love to do it all over again, and it most importantly is down to the amazing caring staff. Not going through a chain makes it feel so much more personal and like you’re not being rushed out. Make your day exactly how you want it! Thank you all again x The Watson’s

Skitby is the perfect barn inspired wedding venue. The team are excellent and made our day perfect. Katherine is an unbelievable asset to the team and takes all your ideas and dreams and makes them a reality. Nothing was ever too much for Katherine and everything to the last detail was perfect.

We got married at Rose Castle on 16th May 2026, and the day was everything we had dreamed of. After getting engaged in December 2023 we looked at quite a few wedding venues, but instantly knew we had found our venue when we first visited Rose Castle, it’s truly unlike anywhere else in Cumbria and has been renovated to an absolutely exceptional standard. From our arrival at the Castle on the evening before our wedding our experience was amazing, we had such a special time hosting a small welcome party with a close family on the Friday night before welcoming everyone for our wedding on Saturday. A special thank you to Becca, Owen, and Mary for making our planning process and wedding day such an enjoyable experience. We would absolutely recommend Rose Castle to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Cumbria!

Heather Glen is an excellent place for anyone looking for a wedding venue. We got married in June 2023 and I could not fault it in anyway. Judith and her team are excellent - always so helpful, responsive and could cater to all needs. From helping in the run up to the wedding, to setting up our big day and making sure the day itself ran smoothly, they were brilliant. The venue includes so many things, such as all bedrooms, as part of the price which makes it such good value! The food is excellent, we still get positive comments almost 3 years years later about it. We couldn’t thank Judith and her team enough for making our wedding day so special - thank you! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and I think you’d struggle to find a better local venue!

Hi Rebecca A big thank you to you and the team for the excellent arrangements. The staff were all lovely and everything just came together beautifully. My guests loved my wedding. Thank you to Angus for being an excellent host and apologies for all the stresses we caused him. The ceremony was over far quicker than expected and my guests arrived early at the hotel. But everyone was catered for. What a lovely experience.Thanks again Shirley xxx

I fell in love with the fleece when I first walked in. It gave cosy but modern vibes and I couldn’t fault it. There is a wedding coordinator who has regular meeting to ensure your day is perfect. Very good value for money.
