Your North West Wedding - July/August 2026 (Issue 98)

DREAM-WEDDING WIN A couple from Ulverston are celebrating an unforgettable stroke of luck after winning an £8,000 wedding package at The Daffodil Hotel & Spa in the heart of the Lake District. Bride Eve entered the competition, created to celebrate the relaunch of the Hotel’s wedding offerings, without telling her fiancé, Lewis. At the time, the couple had been carefully planning a much smaller wedding for 20 guests, but everything changed when they received the news on Good Friday. The prize includes a threecourse wedding meal for 65 guests, as well as drinks and evening snacks. Plus, Lewis and Eve will stay in a junior suite on the night of their wedding. “It’s fair to say we’ve had a tough couple of years, but we’ve got through it together and winning our wedding has taken a great deal of pressure off us,” Eve shares. “We’re now able to spend the money we saved on additional items for the wedding that we didn’t think we’d be able to afford.” The couple have booked their wedding for September.
