Weddings at Monkhouse Hill offer
a unique and memorable alternative to a conventional hotel based
function.
Spending a week (or a weekend, depending on the time of year) together
in the Lake District lets you include a wide variety of activities, entertainment and dining, after
which everyone returns home both refreshed and reinvigorated (and in some
cases married).
The wedding itself may take place at one of a range of nearby
licensed locations,
such as Greystoke Castle or the famous Gretna Green, followed by a
reception at Monkhouse Hill.
Another option is to get married quietly at a nearby Registry Office
on the Friday or Saturday of your arrival, and then have a Reaffirmation
Ceremony (also performed by the Registrar) in front of your family and friends
during the reception at
Monkhouse Hill on Saturday or Sunday.
A
marquee for 45 to 150 people can be sited alongside the cottages - the atmosphere of guests
mingling between their cottages and the function is truly unique.
For
functions with marquees we do require you to book all nine cottages (which
can accommodate 44 plus cots/z-beds) - see
'exclusively yours' for
details. We can provide details of nearby hotels and B&Bs for any
additional overnight guests.
We can recommend local
providers of all the wedding services you may need - see the panels on
this page - however you are
under no obligation to make use of any of these.
Please phone or email us
for more information and to arrange a visit if you are considering
Monkhouse Hill for your wedding party. We can also provide testimonials
from couples who have held there weddings here over the last few years.
We normally only host up to three weddings a year, due to the demands
the events place on cottage availability. For the same reason wedding
bookings for most months normally need to be made at least a year in
advance.
