Top 5 reasons why Lancrigg is the perfect venue for your wedding

Your search for wedding venues in Grasmere needs to end here. You just found the ideal country house location. The picture-perfect Lancrigg hotel is a jewel of the Lake District and sets an elegant scene for a gorgeous big day. Here are five magnificent reasons why it’s the very best of the wedding venues in Cumbria.

It is incredibly romantic

The rolling fields of green around the hotel have long inspired the words and playful lilt of Britain’s best poets. Your own words of love will ring out through the centuries of history in the venue’s 30 acres of manicured gardens and blooming woodlands.

Your wedding guests will be delighted at the hospitality

You can decide on exactly the way your big day rolls out. Choose from a sit-down meal for 30 people or more, or an informal buffet for 50, in the exquisite historic dining room. The grounds are ideal to set up a marquee, so parties of up to 75 are equally welcome. The Lancrigg team are experienced in getting all the little details right and will give you as much, or as little, help as you need.

The chef is award-winning

It’s more than just the grounds that will impress. Gary McDermott, the hotel’s head chef has won awards for his high-quality cooking. Choose from traditional home-fare, a well-stocked buffet or a juicy barbecue. Prepare to be impressed.

The facilities are stunning

The dining room is licensed for a civil ceremony and can accommodate up to 50 people. Groups of up to 65 can enjoy humanist ceremonies on the terrace in front of the beautiful vistas of the Lakeland Fells. Whatever you choose, your guests will have full opportunity to wander the grounds and enjoy the grand fireplace, summer sun-kissed gardens and rich colours of the décor.

You can have it all to yourself

Once you step outside the hotel grounds the glorious scenery of the area is obvious for all to see. When you are inside you don’t have to share with anyone. The hotel is available for the couple-to-be to hire on an exclusive basis (minimum two nights) from Monday to Friday. That includes ten bedrooms to cater for your travelling guests.

These five reasons should be more than enough to convince you of the delights of Lancrigg.
