The Lake House Waterloo named one of the UK’s top wedding venues 

The Lake House Waterloo has been recognised as one of the UK’s leading wedding venues in the Hitched Wedding Awards 2026, placing it among the most trusted and highly rated venues in the country.

Set on the edge of Crosby Marine Lake, The Lake House is one of just five venues on Merseyside to receive the award. Its lakeside location, panoramic water views and flexible event spaces have made it a popular choice for couples looking to celebrate everything from intimate ceremonies to larger wedding receptions.

Run by an experienced hospitality team, the venue offers dedicated wedding coordinators alongside modern accommodation for couples and their guests, allowing celebrations to be tailored to each individual wedding. Its waterfront setting and elegant spaces have helped establish The Lake House as one of the region’s most sought-after wedding destinations.

The award follows a surge in weddings at the venue during 2025, with bookings increasing by 51 per cent compared to 2023 and 2024. The Lake House’s adaptable event spaces and scenic backdrop have proved particularly popular with couples planning their big day.

Now in its fifth year, the Hitched Wedding Awards celebrate excellence across the UK wedding industry, recognising venues and suppliers based solely on reviews from recently married couples. More than 45,000 verified reviews were analysed across over 31,000 suppliers listed on the Hitched platform during 2025.

To be eligible, venues were required to receive a minimum of seven reviews with an average rating of at least 4.75 out of five between 1 January and 31 December 2025. Winners are selected entirely by couples, making the accolade a reflection of genuine experiences and consistently high standards of service.

Josh Roberts, managing director of The Lake House Waterloo, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised in the Hitched Wedding Awards. Weddings are such personal and meaningful occasions, and it’s an honour to know that so many of our couples felt supported throughout their celebrations and were able to create unforgettable memories with us.

“Our lakeside setting is something truly special, and our team puts a huge amount of care into making sure every wedding feels unique to each couple. This award means a great deal because it comes directly from the people who have celebrated their day here.”
