Rothay Garden By Harbour Hotels

Your wedding in the Lake District

Picture-perfect vows in the Lake District

Planning a wedding in the Lake District is about creating something personal, meaningful and entirely your own. At Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels, we specialise in intimate weddings for up to 64 guests, set beside the river and just moments from the lakes, in the heart of Grasmere.

Surrounded by landscapes that inspired the Romantic poets, Rothay Garden is steeped in creativity, nature and quiet romance. Wordsworth, Coleridge and their contemporaries found inspiration here centuries ago, and today, couples continue that tradition by crafting weddings that feel thoughtful, relaxed and deeply personal.

From garden games and drinks on the lawn to locally inspired touches like Grasmere gingerbread, or shared experiences such as a lake cruise or exploring the world of Beatrix Potter, your wedding with us is guaranteed to be filled with unique, unforgettable touches.

Our dedicated wedding team works closely with you to create an effortlessly personal celebration, with thoughtful planning and local insight every step of the way.
