Planning your wedding is no easy task. From choosing your venue, your dress, the suits, who will be bridesmaids, best man, the cake, will it be chicken or beef, all way right down to the little details of which font will go onto the place cards for the table plan!

I like to send out a few questions to my brides and grooms about a month before the big day to get to know them a little and to find out which lovely suppliers they’ve asked to help make their day so special.

Lorri and DJ tied the knot at the stunning Lodore Falls Hotel set in an achingly beautiful area of the Lake District on the banks of the River Derwent and Derwentwater. An absolutely stunning setting and for any wedding on any day come rain or shine.

This was a day filled with so many happy moments, fun with lots and lots of laughter. We took a little trip to Ashness Bridge and Surprise View to complete the couples wedding story. 

Here are the details of planning and suppliers that made their day so special.

Where and when did you get engaged? Tell me what happened?

23rd September 2017 on Derwentwater island Keswick, Lake district, DJ hired a rowing boat and rowed to the island in middle of Derwentwater lake where he presented a lovely picnic. After the picnic he produced a ring on one knee and popped the question. We then celebrated with two engraved glasses and some champagne sat on the island.

All was perfect!
