    Incredible venue, wonderful staff

    We were so thrilled with our experience at the Barn At Upcote. The venue is beautiful but what made it even more special was how kind, supportive and accommodating the staff all were. We dealt mainly with Hannah, Alice and Amy but met a handful of other members of the team and every single one of them was so welcoming, professional and supportive! I can't recommend this venue enough, they helped to make our day truly special and we will be forever grateful to them, thank you xx

    Absolutely amazing, 1000/10!!

    We had our wedding at The Barn at Upcote and it was just perfect! We knew we wanted to have our day there from the start as we attend the festival there every year, but we had no idea just how amazing the team were! From the very first meeting they were all so kind and helpful, offering tips and advice and always on hand to answer any and all of my (many) questions at all times! On the day they brought our vision to life and made the day A LOT less stressful. We really can't give them all enough credit and thank them enough, if you're considering booking your wedding here, do it!! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and we honestly couldn't have imagined anything better!

    A perfect venue for a perfect day!

    We booked The Barn at Upcote blindly from Thailand for our wedding venue and we are incredibly glad we trusted our guts on this!

    From start to finish, the team were so lovely and couldn't help enough theough the planning process. They executed our vision flawlessly and made sure that even though we didn't have a wedding planner, nothing went wrong! We worked with them to have a plan A and B depending on the weather and when Storm Amy whipped around us on our wedding day, it wasn't even an issue.

    We were sad to miss out on experiencing the full offerings of the stunning grounds, but honestly this didn't take away from our wedding day and the experience we had. The venue was perfect for our day party of around 75 guests and evening of around 90 guests. The venue was intimate and felt like more than enough space for our guests, whilst also looking amazingly full and busy when we were all raving away on the dancefloor.

    A special shout out to the lady behind the bar who sheltered a newborn baby and her Mother from the intense noise from the Dhol players! But the whole team were honestly amazing and made the whole experience stress-free. We would highly recommend The Barn at Upcote to anybody thinking of holding their event here!

    The most stunning wedding venue you'll come across!

    We loved celebrating our special day at the Barn at Upcote - the team is an absolute joy to work with, from the planning meetings all the way through the team on the day. We will genuinely miss talking to them, and couldn't have asked for a better day! No request was ever too much, and everything was managed perfectly - I couldn't recommend the venue enough!

    Our perfect Venue!

    We always knew we would need to get married on a weekday to have our dream wedding within budget. Upcote delivered on every level and matched our vibe perfectly!! It's a dreamy Cotswold barn surrounded by fields which makes it very private. We had the best day! We looked at a lot of venues but it was the team that sealed the deal. All the girls put us at ease from booking upto the day and helped us pull everything together. No question to small or too big. They have been very responsive & the check-in meetings we had were lovely & helped keep us on track. We got so many compliments on the day from family & friends, the space was perfect for our smaller wedding size of 50 people, it felt spacious and cosy all at the same time!
    We wanted a colourful wedding day, and the decor came together like we hoped, so joyful. Upcote was the perfect backdrop and looked stunning in the photos. The secret garden was lovely for our couple's photos.
    Thanks so much, we are still on a high! From Lottie & Josh - @lottiewoodsdesign

    Gorgeous wedding venue and fantastic team

    We just got married at The Barn at Upcote and couldn't have wished for a better wedding venue experience. The staff are so friendly, professional and organised, both before and during the big day. They helped make our day super special and run very smoothly. The Barn is beautiful and hardly needs any decoration to make it wedding-ready. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the venue and we would highly recommend to any couple.

    Perfectly picturesque

    Beautiful venue with such a lovely team of staff. They were all amazing and helped every step of the way. We had a small ceremony of 30 people so if your looking for a venue that suits that size the barn is perfect. Genuinely couldn't have been happier!

    Most magical day in a rustic setting

    Our wedding day was flawless, thanks to Sophie’s help planning the entire day from every single detail in advance through to running the operation on the day. The most gorgeous Cotswold barn, in an intimate and hidden setting. Perfect for a midsized wedding with close friends and family.

    The honeymoon suite was a little lackluster. The toilet was broken upon arrival the day before when we set up and we notified the staff then. However, whilst getting ready with 4 x bridesmaids, MOB and myself with a makeup artist in the suite on the day of the wedding, the staff decided that was the best time to spend 2 hours trying to fix the toilet seat issue. We were unable to use the bathroom during this time and felt an inconvenience when we did try. The room also came with very basic amenities and a cold croissant left out overnight for a morning breakfast. Also, no one came into the room to just spruce it up between us getting ready and retiring for the evening. We feel this would’ve been a fair expectation given the cost of the venue and personalised & quality service we had up until that point.

    Overall, it was a magical day and we had an absolute ball which we will cherish forever.

    Best choice for your wedding - period!

    This venue was the best possible choice for our wedding. Where to begin? The team was amazing—so attentive and willing to go above and beyond to make our day perfect. The setting was stunning and felt incredibly private, exactly what we wanted. They embraced our Hindu wedding beautifully and handled all our specific requests with ease. The garden was the perfect spot for our couples’ photos, and the barn itself had this lovely whimsical charm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that exclusive, intimate feel! You will not be disappointed!

They truly went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly, and their support was so appreciated. The location is absolutely stunning, with the beautiful countryside providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. All our guests had a wonderful time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We highly recommend The Barn at Upcote to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!
