    Wow - blown away! The venue and the staff 😍

    The team at Upton are absoloutely incredible, from the lead up and throughout they supported us and helped to shape our wedding day into the most special day. The team are friendly, supportive, kind and have real keen eye to detail. They are all professional and wonderful, not a bad word to say about any single member of the Upton team.
    If you’re thinking of getting married we 100% recommend this venue, it’s stunning! And the staff and the best.
    Thank you so much.

    It was all WOW!

    We had an inkling from the fantastic website that Upton Barn and Walled Garden was high quality, but we knew for sure that it was the place for us when we met Sarah, one of the wedding coordinators, for a tour. It was all WOW from that moment onwards.

    We wanted our day to feel like a treat - to have a loving and memorable experience with our favourite people, whilst giving us space to be joyful and have fun.

    The Upton team are hugely experienced, always looking to improve and offer a beautiful personalised service. We immediately trusted that we could plan our day with them and not have to worry about a thing on the day. Sarah and the team are super efficient. On our planning visit, we went through everything in great detail. The plans were updated a number of times, so everything was exactly how we wanted it.

    We went on two family days during the planning - it felt really special as we were able to show our children and parents around. We got to know the space, so we could consider how we wanted it set up and flow on the day.

    The Paddock - what can we say! - we didn’t think we needed it, but when we looked around and visualised getting ready together with our family around us, there were tears! We had Storm Burt join us on the day, but that didn’t get in the way at all. The Paddock was warm and bright - we were cocooned.

    We wanted our ceremony to reflect us and to celebrate with our closest friends and family - our chosen celebrant helped us create this and the Upton team set everything up, including playing our chosen music at just the right time.

    When we saw the Tac Room (a little bubble for the couple to take a few moments throughout the day), we immediately imagined getting into our inflatable costumes to surprise our guests! And of course the Upton team did everything to keep it a secret and make it all work out as we’d hoped!

    There are so many beautiful spaces at Upton and even in November the light is stunning. Our photos both inside and outside capture so much joy and laughter with the most incredible backdrops.

    Sarah looked after us so amazingly. She held the day, gently guiding us through each moment. And the handover to Natalie was seamless. We are so grateful to Natalie for making sure the storm didn’t stop a thing - she found the moment to light the fire pit for the marshmallows and to have our sparkler photos!

    The Stalls, Bower and The Nest were the perfect end to an incredible day. We walked up the puddly lane, with our dresses bundled in our arms and our rainbow umbrellas held up against the wind and rain. We reached our pods of warmth and comfort.

    The only sad thing was having to leave the next day. But at least we get to keep the memories forever.

    We couldn’t have chosen a better home for our wedding day.

    Couldn’t love this place more if we tried❤️

    The most INCREDIBLE venue ever ever ever!!!!!✨
    We viewed Upton Barn and one other venue - we knew Upton was the place for us. Utterly beautiful in every single way. Home to the best wedding coordinators who couldn’t have done more for us and all of our guests, we appreciate you so much and will be forever grateful❤️. The grounds at Upton are stunning and the on site accommodation is fabulous, especially the new honeymoon suite. The bridal suite is the dreamiest place to get ready ever, all of the girls loved it so much. Our guests commented on what a wonderful venue Upton is and how it has such a magical, special feel. Would recommend Upton to anyone and would do our wedding over and over again there if we could!!!!😍❤️🍾✨. With love from The Yeandles 🫶🏻🫶🏻xxxxxx

    Incredible

    We celebrated our wedding at Upton Barn and Walled Garden in September, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Georgia and the team were incredible, ensuring the day ran smoothly and felt effortless. Their support and professionalism have been outstanding From our first visit to the pre-wedding meetings and even the post-wedding follow-ups.
    The venue itself is breathtaking, but it's the team that truly made the experience so special. Thank you for helping create memories we'll treasure forever! Aaron and Chlo.

    The perfect wedding venue!

    A stunning and beautiful venue with the most amazing staff members. Georgia was our wedding organiser, with the help from Phil on the day. They were both so friendly, and helpful, and made our Wedding day perfect. No question or request was too much to ask. We can't thank them enough for everything they did. The bar staff were just as lovely and even came to say bye when the day staff swapped with the evening. I couldn't recommend this venue and their amazing staff enough.

    The most perfect venue

    My husband and I both say our wedding day was better than anything we could have imagined. This is greatly down to the incredible Upton Barn team and their gorgeous venue. From the planning meeting to the day itself, the team made everything run so smoothly alongside Mulberry and their incredible catering. We can’t thank Upton enough and feel so blessed to have had our wedding in such beautiful surroundings!

    Mr & Mrs Elmore

    Our wedding day was phenomenal! Not only was it just perfect for us but all of our family & friends, too.

    Upton Barn was on my wish list before we got engaged and when we arrived at the first viewing, we just knew it was the perfect venue to get married. Everything from that moment was so easy and relaxed. Any questions we had were answered quickly and you offered so much advice. We appreciate every little thing you all did to make the planning and wedding day incredible.

    I don’t have the words to express how our wedding day felt. It was so emotional, everywhere we looked people were smiling and laughing. Everyone has said how beautiful Upton Barn was, they loved the layout and how easy it made the day flow. The staff were fantastic and super helpful.

    Georgia- you are such a wonderful person, so sweet and caring. You helped me more than you’ll know, when the nerves kicked in and it was time to walk down the aisle, you kept me calm. Thank you for everything!

    Phil - I don’t know how you managed to stay up with us lot! You helped us in so many ways and kept everyone organised when needed. We are truly grateful for everything you did and all the effort you put in.

    I could write forever about how perfect our wedding was and I wish I could do it every day!

    Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

    All our love,
    Mr & Mrs Elmore

    Absolutely perfect venue and wedding day!

    We honestly cannot recommend Upton Barn highly enough! From start to finish they could not be more helpful or accommodating and were responsive to any questions in the lead up.

    The paddock to get ready in the morning of the wedding was absolutely perfect, it was spotlessly clean, had everything you could need from towels, to glasses and so much space for everyone.

    The venue itself was amazing, the layout of everything had been so well thought through, with the huge windows in the reception room with views over the countryside and horses in the fields, the dance floor was the perfect size, and the courtyard with the fire pit is such a lovely touch. Our weather was ideal meaning our ceremony was in the walled garden which is just beautiful and every single one of our guests said how perfect the venue was.

    We couldn't be happier with everything, thank you SO MUCH Upton Barn, we will definitely be recommending to anyone. Thank you xxx

    Cannot recommend highly enough

    We are so happy that we chose Upton Barn as our wedding venue this summer and we cannot recommend them highly enough 💯

    The venue itself has a beautiful modern-industrial design that we loved and it’s situated in the rolling hills of Devon with stunning views all around.

    The team at Upton Barn were so friendly and helpful both in the planning stage leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day itself — one example was how they had two event coordinators on the day making sure we were in the right place at the right time, and also liaising with all the suppliers/vendors on the day so we didn’t have to think about that at all. They were also flexible when our meal/speeches overran slightly and they were able to adjust the upcoming schedule on the fly so we didn’t feel too rushed into the next thing.

    At Upton Barn you are restricted to choosing between two catering companies that they work with, but this was not a problem at all. We had such a positive experience with Mulberry and highly recommend them. The menu was varied and the food was absolutely delicious.

    The two bars were great — they had a good selection of drinks at decent prices and they were well-staffed throughout the day and evening

    If you’re considering choosing Upton Barn for your wedding, go for it — you won’t regret it!
