Silverholme
If you’re looking for the perfect venue for your dream weekend then Silverholme is the one for you. Every single one of our guests referenced how spectacular the venue was with stunning views in an idyllic setting. The house works perfectly across a long weekend with amazing facilities as well as great access down to the lake. We loved every element of the location with cottages available nearby for guests, water sport equipment available to rent & loads of local hotels & Airbnb's to accommodate whatever suited our guests.
Despite the fact that Silverholme is clearly one of the most incredible venues in the country, it was Vanessa (the venue’s host) who was the star of the show. Vanessa was absolute brilliant to work with throughout the whole process and couldn’t do enough for us in support with our preparation. She went above and beyond our expectation and our only disappointment was that she didn’t stay for the full wedding weekend as she was so much fun. Vanessa & her maintenance team helped so much with our prep, we simply couldn’t have done it without them.
Thank you so much to Silverholme & to Vanessa for providing the weekend of our dreams. If anyone is considering booking this glorious venue, get it booked, we promise that you won’t be let down.Silverholme's reply:
Hannah and Chris, how lovely to read this - thank you. Truly the best weekend and an unforgettable wedding - you were such fun from beginning to end!! Never before have I seen a bride and all her bridesmaids (in their stunning bronze dresses) dancing and singing (in perfect harmony!) around the Bridal Suite only minutes before going into the garden to say "I do!" You must stay in touch and return to Silverholme to spend some memorable anniversaries, many of which I am sure you will have. All the very best, Vanessa -

The greatest week of our lives
Wow, where do I even start. This was the venue of our dreams. From the moment we swooped around the beautiful driveway and saw Silverholme in all its glory, we fell inlove.
Vanessa and the team at Silverholme could not have been more helpful and accommodating every step of the way. There are not enough words to describe how grateful we are to everyone at Silverholme and how lucky we feel to have been able to have the most special day of our lives at such a magical venue! Thank you xSilverholme's reply:
Thank you Rosie and Andy! We are so glad that you chose Silverholme for your special day too! We loved your creative wedding - from The Wedding Post, the kilts, the Ceilidh, the hog roast through to the fireworks! Fantastic! -

Beautiful!
We absolutely loved our wedding at Silverholme. It was so lovely to have our family stay with us in the manor and to have three days to celebrate - the rooms are stunning, the communal spaces are perfectly sized and as a musical family, we loved having the piano in the hallway.
Silverholme is great because you can curate your exact wedding vision as everything is hired in externally. We hired the stretch tent from Silverholme and the team who set everything up were brilliant and there from 7am to ensure everything was perfect for us.
Vanessa and the team were brilliant and so helpful - nothing was too much trouble and we loved the extra details - the robes for all of our guests, the welcome pack etc.
The Manor itself is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding area is like something out of a film.
Would HIGHLY recommend.

The best weekend ever!
Silverholme was the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. It was so fun to have a gathering place to host our closest family and friends for the weekend. The staff was so lovely and accommodating and we really appreciated their hospitality. We can’t wait to visit again!Silverholme's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. Your family were amazing - organising your wedding from overseas! So much thought and preparation went into your beautiful wedding at Silverholme. Of course, we would love to host you again on the estate! All the best, Vanessa -

Chloe Sent on 12/01/2024Unforgettable Silverholme!
I would highly recommend Silverholme Manor! We had the most fantastic wedding weekend. The venue is stunning, the rooms and grounds are amazing and it's a wonderful place to host a wedding/celebration. Vanessa is so helpful, particularly with recommendations and helping you to achieve your perfect day. For us, it was to have all of our international family in one place where we could be in each other's company for the whole weekend. We loved all of the options that Silverholme provides such as the coach house, we hosted our r welcome party their on Friday, we had a marquee wedding on Saturday, and a beautiful bbq in the sun on Sunday. It was truly magical! I wish we could do it all over again! -

What a place for a special occasion!
Each client of mine that takes on Silverholme for their big celebration enjoys not just the epic view but the beautiful property. Such care has been given to the place, with beautiful styling and gorgeous space. You can really make it your own and with the help of the fun and friendly team. Thanks for having me guys and hope to be back soon!Silverholme's reply:
Thank you Annabel - we love working with you too! Here's to a busy 2024 helping many couples to create their dream wedding in the spectacular and romantic venue that is Silverholme -

Brilliant Wedding Venue!
We have a tremendous wedding at Silverholme! We stayed for a full week with our closest friends walking in the local hills, flinging ourselves into the lake, having opulent meals in the enormous dining room and enjoying the beautiful rooms and grounds.
The venue was completely perfect for a wedding, with ample space of our marquee, a beautiful coach house for the ceremony, and plenty of space in the house to hosts guests. The lawn is beautiful for the guests to enjoy drinks on and they were able to dash for cover when the occasional shower arrived. There was also ample room for a kitchen to be set up next to marquee.
We had a magical day in a beautiful location where the staff at Silverholme were extremely helpful in getting everything set up. I couldn't recommend it more!Silverholme's reply:
Dear Nicholas and Miranda,
We are so happy that you had such an amazing week with friends and family at Silverholme. It is such a wonderful treat to spend quality time with your friends and family, in addition to the wedding celebration itself. Please come back again soon! Best, Vanessa -

Absolutely incredible, we loved every second
We were blown away by Silverholme manor. They have thought of absolutely everything, they have left nothing to chance. The manager Vanessa was fast to respond, accommodating and always incredibly helpful. The venue itself is breathtaking and it was the perfect setting for our wedding. All of our guests commented that it was the best venue they had been to. We would recommend Silverholme Manor to anyone and we will definitely be back for anniversaries and important birthdays.Silverholme's reply:
Dear Rebecca and Craig,
It was my absolute pleasure to work with you both to create such a lovely outdoor wedding at Silverholme. The gods were on your side - and the sun came out - which only added to the evident warmth that you both radiated...a very personal and moving service that I felt privileged to be a part of. Wishing you all the best and look forward to seeing you hear again! Best, Vanessa -

Absolutely Amazing
We cannot recommend Silverholme Manor and the surrounding properties enough, they were absolutely perfect and in one of the most amazing settings in the UK. The beauty of the Manor with modern day comforts were absolutely perfect for our week long celebrations. I absolutely loved being lady of the manor albeit for 5 days and Eric certainly settled in well to being Lord!! The stunning views, along with the peace and tranquility of the location, the beautiful wildlife all made our wedding truly special and memorable for us and all of our guests. All of whom could not praise it enough, from the comfort of the big beautiful rooms with amazing views and beds that they slept well in, to the little luxuries such as the soaps and handwashes (they truly smelt amazing) , bathrobes (the kids wanted to take them home!) and all the kitchen facilities and comfortable lounges that made it a truly special week.
Vanessa you were amazing, our guests didn't get to see the hardwork you put into things for us, that is testament to how seamless everything was. Thank you for greeting us on arrival, for the welcome hampers and wines (lovely touch, very personal) to helping on the wedding day, helping me with my dress, and getting me unstuck! We really appreciated everything you did, the changes you have made to the property have only enhanced it and the Graythwaite Estate is truly lucky to have you.
Thanks again, and we will be back one day, not sure when, but Silverholme Manor and Graythwaite Estate will always have a special place in our heart. -

Glorious venue and wonderful team
Silverholme is the most magnificent place to get married in the Lake District. You will be able to see for your self the interior and exterior beauty of the place. But that is not all that makes it special.
1. There are very few, if any, places in the Lake District where you can combine a lakeside setting with enough accommodation for lots of guests. The Graythwaite estate of which Silverholme is a part has enough cottages within walking distance not to make travel between accommodation and venue ok.
2. The team were fantastic throughout and were incredibly helpful in making our vision for the event come true, whether it was a mountain top paella or turning the coach house in to a night club.
3.There is a great network of suppliers who are adept at navigating the idiosyncrasies of the location. We used Karen Rhodes, Little Barn Bar, Smoke and Steel and Original Marquees and would recommend them all.
4. You can bring your own booze!
Finally a huge shout out to Vanessa who was instrumental in pulling things together.Silverholme's reply:
Dear Mike & Olivia,
Thank you so much for your kind words. You were the first couple that I showed around Silverholme when I started my job here and so I will never forget you both! I have been through the whole journey with you over the past year and a bit and I am so glad that we were able to create the wedding of your dreams!
We even managed to organise "a first" with your fabulous paella lunch in a hideaway place on the Graythwaite estate. Delicious food in an outstandingly beautiful place.
All the very best to you both and please come back for many an anniversary and holiday! Best, Vanessa -
