At Heft, we’re not a traditional wedding venue and we intentionally only host a few weddings per year. We’re a place built around great food, warm hospitality and bringing people together around the table. If you’re looking for a celebration that feels relaxed, personal and full of character, we’d love to be part of your story.
We offer an intimate and welcoming which is perfect for gathering together the people who matter most. Whether you’re planning a small ceremony followed by a long lunch or a full day of food, wine and celebration, we’ll work with you to create something genuinely special. Although we aren’t licensed to host legal wedding ceremonies at Heft, many couples choose to say ‘I do’ at one of the beautiful local churches or nearby registry offices before joining us to celebrate. We’re always happy to share recommendations and help make the journey from ceremony to reception feel seamless. We can host up to 36 guests for a seated wedding breakfast and welcome up to 90 guests for an evening celebration, creating a relaxed and memorable occasion centred around exceptional food, great wine and the people you love most.
Food sits at the heart of everything we do. From drinks and canapés to bespoke menus showcasing the very best local and seasonal ingredients, every detail is thoughtfully crafted by our team. We want your guests to leave talking about the meal, the atmosphere and the memories they’ve made together.
As a family run business, we know how important these moments are. That’s why we take a personal approach to every wedding, helping you shape a day that feels effortless, joyful and uniquely yours – it’s why we don’t offer any set packages.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding filled with exceptional food, genuine hospitality and the beauty of the Lake District, we’d be delighted to welcome you to Heft. Get in touch and let’s start planning something special together…
