Or how about a hand with the honeymoon? Love in The Lakes are here to plan, organise, and set up the perfect special event for you and your loved one right here in the English Lake District.

Local Love

We love the English Lake District! From the quiet, rugged mountains, to the babbling, valley streams, and everything in-between. and we want to combine that love with your love. We love our small communities and are lucky to live surrounded by kind and gentle folk. Having become friends during our time working as receptionists at a 5* holiday estate in the Lake District, we now work together to create memorable, romantic events here in our beloved Lake District. Whether it’s a proposal, anniversary, birthday, or just to spend some time relaxing together, we’re here to welcome you, and happy to plan, organise, and deliver your special moment.

Romantic Settings

Is there anywhere more romantic than the Lake District? With it’s rugged mountains, where you’ll meet hardy Herdwicks and fall in love with their cute smiles, to the green and blue valleys that stretch as far as you can see, wind blowing in your hair, wild and carefree, it really is a special place. In spring and summer it comes alive with pink and purple flowers spreading across the woodlands and fells, filling the air with hints of wisteria and bluebell. And then autumn comes and changes the greens to yellows, reds and oranges, painting a picture perfect landscape wherever you look. Even on the wet, windy days the Lake District holds her beauty, full of atmosphere and rawness. It’s no wonder locals and visitors from far and wide fall in love with this beautiful place! So why wouldn’t you want to create something extra special while you’re here? Whether you have somewhere special in mind and would like a bespoke event, or would like to use one of our permanent settings and take advantage of one of our packages, we’re here to discuss your needs and help fulfil your dreams.

Fantastic Food & Drinks

With so many great suppliers, artisan makers and award-winning chefs in the Lake District, with everything from champagne to charcuterie, we’re sure we can please even the most discerning palate. Maybe you’d like to treat your partner to afternoon tea served in fine bone china cups, with scrumptious sandwiches, perfect pastries and calorie-laden cakes from a local bakery, at a tarn? Or perhaps a luxury hamper with a ploughman’s lunch picnic, full of locally sourced savouries, speciality cheese and a pint from a nearby brewery, as you descend down from the peaks? We are more than happy to discuss and follow any dietary requirements you or your loved one may have, and will source as much as we can locally. And should you not want anything to eat, maybe because you’ve booked a table at one of the Lake District’s Michelin star restaurants, or you’d just like to celebrate with Lakeland whiskey, that’s fine. It’s all about what you want!

Decorations

Should you choose to let us help you plan and set up your special moment, every detail can be tailored to suit your needs and wishes. We want to make the moment all about you and your partner. Your love for each other is unique, and your celebrations should be too! Would you like something sophisticated and simple, with the finest handcrafted Lakeland crystal champagne flutes to toast your engagement with? Not a problem, we’ll happily organise that for you. Fresh roses or your partner’s favourite flowers? It’s up to you. With a large range of decorations and sumptuous soft furnishings, in a variety of styles and colour schemes for you to choose from, we’ll make sure the location looks lovely, and is comfortable and relaxing, helping create the perfect romantic atmosphere. We’re not huge fans of balloons though, especially when it comes to using them outside, as they often end up all over our beloved countryside.

Additional Services

Let your imagination run wild and we’ll do what we need to do to organise it for you. A few of the additional services we can organise are:

  • Photographers
  • Musicians
  • Personal playlists
  • Mountain/walking guides
  • Taxi service bookings
  • Hair and make-up appointments


We can also offer recommendations for the best Michelin-starred restaurants, award-winning spas, and luxury hotels.

Local Knowledge

Maybe you’d like to propose whilst on a walk, but don’t want to carry the champagne, or you’re not sure where to go? Or you know your partner would love it if you popped the question at a secluded, woodland riverside, but you would love some help finding one and setting up the date? Perhaps you’d like to spend a romantic evening watching the sun set across a lake, but don’t know where to escape the crowds? Having both grown-up in Cumbria, we know our way around this beautiful county, and know where to find the best locations and products. We’ve walked many of the mountains and played in almost every stream and river possible. With access to special and secluded beauty spots, some exclusive to our clients, and years of knowledge behind us, we’ll have your date perfectly organised, ready for you and your special someone’s romantic getaway.

Local Support

As proud Cumbrians we do all we can to support our superb local businesses. The Lake District has a huge range of high quality shops and producers, many of which are generations old, and we love supporting these local businesses. We know where to get the freshest flowers, the tastiest treats and best views. But we also know that the Lake District isn’t just a holiday destination, it is also a home to some. The fells are farms, not just walks, the little lanes are some people’s routes to work, the small lay-bys are access to animals, not just free campervan spaces. So while we look forward to helping you enjoy this beautiful place, we ask all our clients to be considerate of others when visiting the National Park. We support The Lake District National Park’s ‘#LakeDistrictKind’ campaign, and always leave no trace. We grew up here, love living here, and we expect all our clients to respect and care for this beautiful environment too. Due to this, and also because many of our services take place in the great outdoors, we use natural, re-usable, and environmentally friendly products wherever possible.

About Us

We both love planning, organising and delivering high quality services. Our time working as receptionists honed our customer service skills and highlighted the joy we get from being involved in organising special occasions. We love taking an idea and turning it into a beautiful reality! It also showed us where to find more of the best of the best in the Lake District and Cumbria, and we started forming good working relationships with many of the wonderful restaurants, tourist attractions, florists, spas and hotels in the area. When we’re not planning and organising we both enjoy spending time outdoors, and helping out on Abbie’s family farms. Those Herdwick sheep are just too cute!

THE WEATHER
Whilst we can organise most things, unfortunately we have no control over the weather. To accommodate for this we offer a few specially selected sites that provide natural shelter. We also use stylish shades and canopies to help protect you from all the elements. However, we can’t guarantee you won’t get wet whilst visiting the Lake District. But no matter if it’s rain or shine, we’re here to make sure treating your loved one is a romantic experience for you both.
