Meet Your Wedding Team
Beth, Wedding Coordinator
Following her passion for the outdoors & hiking, Beth moved to the Lake District at the start of 2022 and started her career here at Merewood. Working alongside Caleigh, Beth brings a wealth of experience with her work spanning across the industry for 14 years, putting you in safe hands & making it the best stress free time for this special time of your life.
Beth’s wedding top tip - One thing you cannot control is the weather (especially in Cumbria!) Rather than checking the weather every day, spend that time thinking of a plan to make your wedding amazing even if it does rain - make sure your Plan B is just as epic as your Plan A. Invest in some bridal brollies, have fun and revel in all the good luck that comes with it!

Caleigh, Wedding Coordinator
Born & raised in beautiful South Africa, Caleigh moved to the UK in 2021 and has been a part of our wedding team since May 2021. Caleigh’s passion for weddings, hospitality and her knowledge offer couples to have the best wedding planning experience, allowing us to do all the hard work and for you to just worry about bringing the rings! Working alongside Beth, Caleigh is on hand throughout your wedding planning journey.
Caleigh’s wedding top tip - Try spend some alone time together after the ceremony to take it all in as a married couple. It is your special day after all and the day will go by in a flash so it's important to treasure all the magical moments throughout the day, so take the time to focus on each other and don't forget it's about you and not just your guest
Nicola, Hotel Manager
Supporting both Beth & Caleigh, Nicola joined Merewood earlier this year as Hotel Manager. With 23 years in the hospitality industry and 18 years of experience organising weddings, Nicola brings a wealth of expertise to every celebration.
In 2017, she was honoured to receive the Wedding Co-ordinator of the Year award for the entire UK from WeddingDates, competing amongst thousands. For her, this role is more than just a job; it’s about creating warm, welcoming experiences. Her natural ability to handle the biggest day of a couple’s life with attention to detail and a calm demeanour ensures a stress-free experience.
Nicola's wedding top tip - Dedicate time to your wedding planning by doing wedmin little and often, breaking down the planning into manageable parts from the start. It can be overwhelming to plan such an important occasion with so much to think about and often couples can leave the planning until nearer to the wedding date, leaving them feeling anxious and rushed in the final build up when they should be relaxed knowing everything’s been done.
