small wedding lake district 8 guests

[angeace22]

hi has anyone any ideas on a small wedding please we plan to possibly holiday at whinfell centre parcs
we have in mind maybe a register office wedding then somewhere nice on the lake for a meal or a boat ride with a meal.
its 8 adults just looking for ideas things to do and places to get married on a budget as its our second time thankyou

I live in Cumbria. When you say lake do you mean Ullswater as that will be your nearest ?
If you want a registry office, again the nearest will be Penrith. It is down a nice alley and near a church but in the same building as the library ( halfway up the stairs )
There are not lots of registry offices in Cumbria. I think Penrith , Carlisle, Whitehaven and Barrow .
Happy to answer any further questions.

Inn on the lake at Glenridding is a short drive from Penrith, is licensed for weddings and in a fantastic setting. Boats also launch from Glenridding so could combine everything in one place-wedding, food and boat!

My sister is getting married at Cote How near Rydal. They specialise in small weddings. We are having afternoon tea afterwards

Thanks for your message just seen it
Just thinking anywhere In lakes
Been told Penrith registry office is lovely
Fancy a nice meal after on the lake side if possible
Been told inn on the lake is lovely place

Thanks for that
I love the look of inn on the lake and hope to visit the hotel next month
Unfortunately boats rnt offering much jn way of a trip and meal at the min and think hotel maybe bit more than we want to pay with it being our second wedding but maybe when we go see them they may be able to offer some ideas

I went to a wedding at the inn on the lake. It was lovely. Loads of local B&Bs for guests to stay in. The couple got married in the garden by the lake. It was stunning. I can imagine it cost a fortune though.

Thanks for reply
Unfortunately inn on the lake are fully booked for 2 years now
It does look fab place tho

For just eight of you, could you hire a couple of classic camper vans? These are pretty, and based fairly nearby:

We are visiting Penrith next week
Prob will book the registry office but they only do weddings after 3pm in the week
Then we are thinking a meal at the George hotel x

Hi we fancy hiring a lodge with games room and sauna at centre Parcs That way if life is still how it is we can entertain ourselves at night in the lodge x

I know some people that booked some sort of holiday home on the edge of the Lake and all the guests stayed there with them for 3 or so nights. Married at Penrith and had a chef come to them to make the meals for the whole day.

Wow that sounds amazing
Would u happen to have anymore details of where they stayed and chef etc pls

It was Waternook on Ullswater cannot help with chef unfortunately!
