Stunning venue, incredible wedding team and wonderful cocktail cruise!

We couldn’t recommend Low Wood Bay as a wedding venue more! The wedding team are beyond incredible, we can’t think of anything they said no to, they made every idea of ours a reality and made the whole process as stress free as could possibly be, thinking of all the little details we hadn’t or weren’t sure about. The venue itself is stunning with incredible views. Although not technically ‘exclusive’ the drinks reception lawn and Lakes Suites used for the ceremony, meal and evening are so private with separate bar and toilets that you felt like it was exclusive anyway, but with the ease of our friends and family being able to extend their stay before and after the wedding for a mini break which was especially nice for those travelling a long way or visiting the Lakes for the first time. The food is absolutely incredible with loads of choice, at restaurant quality it didn’t seem mass produced at all. The absolute highlight for us was being able to add a boat cruise from the hotels jetty, we added a saxophone player and cocktails and it was many of our guests favourite part of the day, and something very different! We thought the price was incredibly good compared to other venues we’d looked at, priced per head with a very minimal additional fee for room hire for the ceremony only. It also included extras including flowers, cake and a nights stay with champagne which made a huge difference too. We’re so excited to come back for our anniversary and have a special place we can continue to return to!

Wedding July

I had the best time having my wedding here. Would 1000% recommend. They did everything they could and helped out so much. The day would not of gone by so smoothly without the team. What they charge is definitely worth it. Food was amazing. Everyone had nothing negative to say. Best day ever and I would get married here

Low Wood Resort & Spa

From enquiring to hosting our Wedding Day, we feel the Low Wood wedding team were brilliant and would highly recommend people to book their wedding at the Low Wood. We really loved the venue, it was actually the only one we visited prior to booking. The only flaw I could find was booking hotel rooms for the wedding party, because it was a little mixed messages from Wedding Team and Hotel Booking team. However, the Wedding Team sorted for us and were brilliant in dealing with all our requests in the build up and allowing slight alterations to their standard package/menu. Overall, we found the team really helpful and easy to deal with which made the build up to our wedding very relaxed.

Amazing from the first meeting!

If you are considering booking your wedding at Low Wood, my advice is to dive right in!
From looking round the venue as a general enquiry, they could not do enough!
We had to delay our wedding due to the dreaded covid but everything just moved so seamlessly!
Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and it was definitely down to the precision of the whole wedding coordination team.
Due to us living a bit of a drive away, we dealt a lot with Rachel and the team by email, they answered so efficiently and went above and beyond to ensure all queries were dealt with.
I’m actually gutted our wedding is over now as we won’t be in such regular contact!
We cannot thank Rachel and the team enough for such an amazing time and all of our guests regularly tell us just how amazing the day was.
Please can we do it all again?!

Low Wood Bay was the perfect wedding venue and went way beyond our expectations! The Gallery Room is stunning for a ceremony and wedding breakfast.

From the day we booked, the wedding team were an absolute joy to deal with. They helped make our memorable day even more special and we cannot recommend a wedding at Low Wood Bay highly enough. Staying in The Winander Club was AMAZING and the Spa was fantastic. Food in the hotel was incredible and you really cannot beat the Lakeland views ♥️

Masters of their craft

We got married August bank holiday weekend and we could not fault the low wood team. They are true masters of their craft and all did everything to make sure our day was just as we wished it would be.

Amazing day!

From day one of just going to look round, to our wedding day, Low Wood have been amazing!

The wedding team have always been very responsive & no question was daft enough for them! They couldn’t be anymore helpful if they tried!

On the big day, they set everything up perfectly & we’re always on hand for anything we may have needed. If anything had gone wrong, then we didn’t know about it, everything was so seamless.

The location is absolutely stunning & the spa is definitely worth a visit!

100% would recommend & thank you once again to the wedding team! ❤️

Amazing venue & amazing team

We had such an amazing experience with Low Wood Bay. The wedding team are so lovely and extensive and made our day very special. The team were happy to have several meetings with us to help us feel calm and prepared. Communication was strong and the team helped by recommending local vendors they have worked with previously. Our guests all loved the food and the service was outstanding. The team also co-ordinated with our parents to help them surprise us with singing waiters on our big day. The venue is in a beautiful location allowing you to easily get those must have shots by the lake. Definitely recommend!

Mrs Emma Gorton

We had our wedding at Low Wood in June 2023. The venue was perfect, all of our guests expressed how amazing the venue was including the food and service throughout the day it was just perfection. I had full faith in Lucy and the rest of the wedding team and was able to leave them to sort aspects of the day with not worrying myself. The day couldn’t have been anymore perfect and that’s all down to low wood bay.

Fantastic experience from start to finish

The wedding team at Low Wood Bay made the whole experience a very easy and pleasurable experience.
They were quick to reply to email queries and answered any questions we had promptly.
On the day the team were AMAZING nothing was too much trouble and they were with us all the way.
Low Wood is a beautiful venue in lovely surroundings, the whole hotel is geared towards making sure you have a day to remember. I cannot recommend this venue enough.

The Frankham wedding - the best day ever!!!

We experienced a Low wood bay wedding firstly at our close friends wedding, and from that day we knew when it was our turn. Low wood would be our choice of venue.
After our first meeting we just couldn’t wait to get it booked.
Throughout the 22 month of planning communication from all wedding coordinators was amazing, any enquiry was dealt with very quickly.
We had a food tasting evening, the food was so good we could barely choose what to have.
Low wood were very accommodating to the many food allergy requirements we had within our guests, gluten free, nut free and vegetarians, changed the cheesecake flavour to mine and my husbands favourite.
The choice of canapés and welcome drinks was amazing, we had strawberry daiquiris and corona.
The day itself went in a flash but it was ran so smoothly and I can’t thank the coordinators and the master of ceremonies enough for making our day so special. Felt like royalty!
The location and the hotel was absolutely beautiful, so close to the lake that we organised a lake cruise for our wedding guests. The weather was perfect, the boat ride around the bay was gorgeous, we invited our acoustic singer onto the boat, all the guests were up dancing and singing.
The wedding suite we stayed in was immaculate and beautiful, we had a lake view room and waking up to that view with the amazing weather we had was fabulous. The guests and us stuck around the day after to use the swimming pool and the outdoor facilities.
Low wood Bay is on another level when it comes to weddings in the Lake District, professional but personal. I wish I could just do it all again!

1st September Wedding

We got married here in the summer and I can't recommend it enough.

The team were nothing short of fantastic, especially Demi and Rachel. We really got to sit back and relax when planning this wedding and every email with questions was answered quickly with good advice. So much stuff was included that we didn't have to think about.

Our guests were very complimentary about the food and boat ride and we got some great photos at the hotel.

There were such thoughtful touches everywhere and everyone was so kind. Was very impressed with master of ceremonies also.

Would definitely recommend booking the hideaway in the spa for the day after. I probably enjoyed that down time just as much as the wedding!

Don't hesitate to just pop down for a look around. We just called the same day and the team went through lots of options. Best decision we made.
