LOWWOOD HOTEL | WEDDING Story of Helen & Sam

How did you both meet?

We met in a beer garden in a pub in Englefield green, Egham which led on to the best first date ever.

Tell us about the proposal?

When we moved to Ireland we found a beautiful restaurant which we fell in love with, i could see no more of a fitting place then here , unbeknown to the future Mrs Bushell I booked the whole restaurant for her so we could be alone. After a nice meal, romantic piano playing and desert the waiter brought out a single heart shaped desert with a diamond solitaire ring and the rest is history .

Why a lake district wedding?

The lake district has always been very close to our hearts as Helen and I and the dogs spend plenty of time in or on the lakes . The staff , the location ,facilities, the fact it was dog friendly was the reason we booked the low wood bay .
