Cote How Lake District Weddings

We were lucky enough to get married at this beautiful venue on the 15th December 2020 with our closest family present.. and others on Zoom! From the moment we booked Cote How Caroline and Steve made the whole process seamless. We really didn’t have to worry about a thing! Even with all the uncertainty of Covid restrictions Caroline was always on hand to guide (and calm) us. Apart from the obviously STUNNING venue and grounds, and the warmth and professionalism from Caroline and Steve, we were overwhelmed by their thoughtfulness towards our 2 year old daughter. A keen fan of the gruffalo (she carries a tiny gruffalo soft toy everywhere she goes) Steve noticed this and dug out his own (now teen) daughters old gruffalo soft toys (a mouse and a fox) and gifted these to our little girl. She was absolutely thrilled and happily played by the roaring log fire for most of the day. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The hospitality was fabulous, food delicious and the bar well stocked! Our guests all commented more than once that we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue and how lovely and accommodating our hosts were. We truly couldn’t have hoped for a more perfect day so thank you to Caroline and Steve and to all at Cote How who helped make our ‘Christmas’ wedding the most treasured, memorable day.

We were lucky enough to get married at Cote How on Tuesday. It was a blustery, dramatic autumnal day and the location could not have been more beautiful. The whole experience was amazing. Getting married outside in the Lake District was our dream and Cote How is such a magical setting in which to do that. We can not thank Caroline, Steve and Sophie enough for all their help, support and understanding through the many changes and last minute decisions we made due to the pandemic. One the day, everyone at Cote How went above and beyond to ensure we had the day we always dreamed of. The day was just perfect, and we are so grateful that we were able to celebrate our love with both families at Cote How and we can not recommend them enough to any couples wanting to get married! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Celia & Adam

Cote How is an idyllic setting for anyone looking for a small, exclusive and beautifully organised wedding in the Lake District. We cannot thank Caroline, Sophie and all the team at Cote How enough for an amazing day. As a bit of a wedding phobic couple not even we knew what we really wanted but every last detail was perfect and the day ran so smoothly. Every need was catered for and our guests were full of compliments for the venue and its location. Not only were the house and barn immaculate and beautifully decorated, Rydal Water is but a stone’s throw away and the perfect location for photographs. We cannot praise highly enough and couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else.

In February 2020 we decided to visit Cote How, Rydal in the Lake District, (mainly as this part of England is our favourite place), as a possible wedding venue so​ we set off from Stockton on Tees in high spirits, even higher winds and driving rain, it was a pretty scary drive on the A66 and when we did get to the Lakes we then had to contend with the flooding but we made it - and oh boy was it worth it! We were welcomed by Caroline and Steve Langham to their very beautiful and private home.​ Caroline was fantastic, she took us through all of the options available to us, but never pressured us into making a decision there and then, she gave us plenty to think and talk about on our journey home.​ She showed us around the venue and the outside space we could use, depending on the weather of course, she left the barn until last - WOW!, WOW!, WOW! we were smitten, it was an amazing space both inside and out and on the journey home we knew that Cote How was where we wanted our special day to be. It was booked for 19/08/2020 and we were due to re-visit in May but by then Covid had reared it's ugly head and the next time we would actually see Steve and Caroline would be on our wedding day.​ I lost count of the emails sent between Caroline and myself, she was absolutely amazing dealing with the ever changing rules and regulations that Covid brought but nothing and I do mean nothing was ever too much trouble for her.​ On the big day itself all our family met on the terrace (as the sun was shining!) and were made to feel so welcome by Steve, Caroline and Sophie.​ They attended to ours and our guests every need. Caroline walked us through everything and the day went without a single hitch.​ It was such a special day that was shared with our loved ones and is definitely one of best memories - ever. If you are looking to hold an intimate wedding with very passionate and professional people at the helm, then you must check out Cote How.​ It is a truly stunning location, we can not recommend it enough. Thank you Caroline, Steve and Sophie.

The first time we pulled into the driveway at Cote How, the inviting smell of a burning log fire, swiftly followed by warm and welcome introductions by Caroline and Steve, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. Our wedding was only ever planned to be an intimate day with our closest family and friends and we knew this would be the perfect location to host the weekend. The planning process was seamless with the easy to use portal covering off everything that needed thinking about! We took the option for Caroline to organise our cake and flowers and they were exactly as we would have wanted if we’d done it ourselves. Despite a few curveballs thrown from Boris requiring last minute changes to our reception (12.30pm the day before!), the day ran seamlessly and all of our guests were amazed with the stunning setting, breath taking views and perfectly manicured gardens that Cote How has to offer. This was all topped off by the fantastic teams led by Caroline, Steve and Karen – we can’t thank you enough for making our day one we will never forget!

Thank you Caroline and Steve for making our special day at Cote How on 28 September 2019 so perfect! We wanted a personal, non-corporate venue where we were able to feel at home, relax and enjoy our day with friends and family. The Cote How Team and venue provided this atmosphere and so much more, in terms of professionalism, glorious location, beautiful décor and amazing food! The sun even shone on our day! Thanks to your efficiency, organisation and knowledge our weekend was stress-free and we could relax and enjoy it. With love and grateful thanks. Mr and Mrs Holme.
