Wedding Venues in Cumbria

We had our wedding at Heather Glen in May 2026 after originally being let down by another wedding venue. I am so pleased we found Judith at Heather Glen, we could not fault her or the team. Every little detail was covered which helped us to have the most enjoyable time on the day. Nothing was too much to ask, the day ran so smoothly and without a glitch. At no point in the day did we worry about anything as we knew that the staff would have it all under control. Heather Glen is a beautiful country house venue that has real character. We were lucky enough to have lovely weather which allowed our guests to make the most of the stunning surroundings whilst sat on the terrace whilst having their welcome drinks. The newly refurbished bridal suite was beautiful and was the perfect end to our lovely day. All our guests had a comfortable stay the night of the wedding followed by a full English breakfast the following morning which went down a treat. We cannot thank Judith and her team enough for all they did for us. Chelsea and Matthew

We had the most amazing day at Dalston Hall. The staff were amazing, and the wedding coordinator was so attentive and truly went above and beyond. The food was amazing and went above our expectations. Would recommend to anyone!

We had a small ceremony for the 20 of us attending and were able to stay onsite for the whole weekend. The venue is fantastic, the Rowley estate team are brilliant too. It really did feel like a castle, the younger kids enjoyed running around trying to 'find the dragon'. The weather was kind to us which enabled us to enjoy the gardens as well as the pool table. Would recommend to any large group of people for a weekend or a week away. Very worth the costs for such a memorable place.

My partner and I could not recommend Melmerby Hall enough! After lots of time searching online for the perfect venue for our intimate, period drama themed wedding, we finally came across Melmerby Hall and it ticked all of our boxes. We were able to accommodate 16 guests (plus 2 toddlers) for an incredible price and the venue itself was stunning. We initially had a virtual tour with Joanna due to some scheduling challenges on our side during the venue hunt. She was so so lovely and walked us through the whole house and facilities. We booked both Melmerby Hall and Stag Cottage immediately after being blown away by it's charm and the care that has been put into keeping everything looking really tidy, especially given the age of the property. We then liaised with Joanna to have a couple of in person viewings - one to double check we were happy with the venue after booking and the other to confirm what we needed to bring with us on the day to make sure we had adequately decorated etc. During both viewings, Joanna was amazing, really friendly and accommodating, and very patient answering our questions. Between our initial booking and the date of the wedding, Joanna and Christine reached out multiple times to make sure we were all up to speed with what was available during our stay and any other logistics we needed to nail down. When we arrived for the wedding weekend (we stayed Friday to Monday), the house was beautiful - incredibly clean and well maintained, and it's charm once again blew us away. All of our guests commented on how amazing the house was and were very impressed by both the welcome hamper and the toiletries provided. I, personally, don't think I've ever slept in a bed as comfortable as the ones at Melmerby Hall!! We spent some time adding our own decorations to the venue on the Friday night, and are really happy with how our own decorations worked with the flowers and period pieces already in the house. On the wedding day, Heather came to support with the registrars and was absolutely lovely. Overall, I couldn't recommend the venue enough!!! It was truly perfect!

We had a few days away at Hause Hall with our friends and family to celebrate our wedding at our local registry office. We had our wedding portraits done in and around Hause Hall. The property was equipped with everything we needed to make 2 amazing dinners for our family. We had the most stunning view over Martindale and up towards the Nab. Christine and her team were super helpful and responsive when planning everything. They sent us helpful information about the area and additional extras for our stay. We booked a hot tub for our stay which was delivered and installed hassle free. Would highly recommend the property and the rowley estates for a wedding venue!

We had our wedding at Broadoaks Country House, and it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. They truly couldn’t have done enough for us! A HUGE shout-out to Taz, Sian, Mikey and Lewis — you made our day so personal, so seamless, and so completely perfect. Every detail was handled with such care and genuine warmth. The food was incredible, the décor was stunning, and the staff were exceptional throughout. We honestly couldn’t have wished for anything more. It was the most amazing wedding and truly the best day of our lives. Thank you, Broadoaks, for giving us a day we will cherish forever. 💛

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you Laura, Lauren, John & everyone at Abbey House♥️ We recently got married at Abbey House and it truly was the best wedding we could have ever wished for. Laura, Lauren and John are the best at what they do and our day would never have been the same without them. Nothing is too much to ask for and every detail was covered, making the whole experience so special. The staff at Abbey house went above and beyond for us & all our guests. We decided to start our wedding weekend with a pre wedding BBQ and end with a farewell breakfast the following morning - in which the service, food & quality was amazing throughout. Every part of the wedding ran so smoothly. Every guest complimented Abbey House - all hotel rooms, facilities, food & staff are fantastic. Laura, Lauren & John looked after our guests all day and our guests spoke so highly of them. Abbey House is the most stunning wedding venue & the wedding coordinators make it just perfect. We cant imagine our day without Laura, Lauren & John by our sides. All of love, Mr & Mrs Merrie

Cragwood is a beautiful venue. The staff our really helpful and accommodating and our wedding coordinator Stacey was an absolute dream. I’d mocked up some ideas for table capping and the gazebo as a guide but wasn’t too previous about it and she did such a fantastic job I cried! The wedding evening table and room was decorated so beautifully and she even contended with winds and a swaying macrame frame. Having access to Windermere is also a plus point for us, and whilst we didn’t get married by the lake due to our party size we still made use of the jetty and hired a boat trip. Everything ran smoothly over our time there and we are incredibly grateful for all involved who made our wedding day memorable.

We had the most magical and special day here, we couldn't have asked for anything more. The venue were amazing and so helpful the entire time and put our mind at ease the whole planning process. We went for food tasting before and the food was amazing. All the staff could not do enough to help us and we would definitely recommend!
