Holbeck Ghyll, a traditional Country House Hotel in Windermere, is proud to welcome Keira Beattie to the dedicated team. As the Wedding and Events Co-ordinator she’ll be making their couples dreams a reality. With over 10 years’ experience within the Wedding Industry you really can lean on her expertise to help you plan your day… your way.
There’s nothing Keira hasn’t experienced, from collapsing wedding cakes to chasing Seagulls – it’s safe to say that you’re in very safe hands!
Originally from Montrose, a small town on the East coast of Scotland, Keira worked for a small family run hotel and was inducted into the hospitality industry at the tender age of 13. Almost immediately she realised her passion to work with people providing unforgettable experiences. From restaurant management to guest engagement she quickly worked her way through the hotels various departments to find the best fit for her. When Keira found herself running wedding and conference events it’s safe to say that it was a Cinderella story – the slipper fit perfectly! …
When asked about her own wedding, Keira had this to say; ‘When I got married I remember feeling so pressured to plan the perfect day, not just for me and my husband to be, but for all of our family and friends too. I wanted them to treasure the day and take life long memories away with them. I still remember that feeling now and that’s what drives me to help every single bride and groom have the day of their dreams. Whether it’s a regal occasion or an intimate ceremony I pride myself on being your ‘stress reliever’ throughout the planning process and your fairy godmother on the day itself.’
In 2011 Keira and her family headed South to the beautiful Cornish coastline and she found a new home at Tregenna Castle in St Ives. It was here that Keira, with the help of her team, won three awards for the hotel – Simply Wedding Venue of the Year for 2 years running and South West Wedding Venue of the Year 2018.
With an average of 100 weddings a year Keira was doing what she loved whilst successfully leading the department to its best ever year. The saying really is true, when you love what you do it’s not really a job and her results speak for themselves.
During 2018 Keira and her family moved from Cornwall to Cumbria and landed in Windermere, where Elia Shreiber, the General Manager at Holbeck Ghyll was only too happy to bring Keira on board. Since starting at Holbeck Ghyll Keira has set about getting to know the 4 red star hotel and all of the beautiful brides to be – how exciting! She’s also revamped the wedding packages and attended several wedding fayres already.

When asked about joining the team at Holbeck Ghyll, Keira said: ‘The hotel is simply stunning; it’s a dream to sell. With acres and acres of beautiful gardens and breath-taking views of the lakes and mountains for pictures, the amazing food courtesy of head chef William Dimartino, the individual bedrooms…..it really is the dream venue. I must be drawn to stunning venues with incredible views as I have been lucky enough to find two I have had the privilege of working in’
