Beautiful venue & team made our wedding day even more special

We were due to get married at the Upwey Wishing Well in July 2020, but due to the global pandemic our date was pushed back several times. We finally got married in June 2022 and Jacci & the Upwey Wishing Well team couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating.

We had many compliments about the beautiful venue, absolutely delicious food and how wonderful the staff and service were. The Upwey Wishing well is a truly gorgeous venue and the people are the heart of the whole experience and looked after us at every step of the way.

I appreciated the attention to the smallest details and how warm and calming the team were managing us effortlessly through the day. It was a beautiful day and make extra special thanks to the teams care and attention.

Jacci was amazing in helping us plan our perfect wedding. Nothing was too much trouble. On the day Jacci and her team were outstanding, every detail was perfect, all my guests were well looked after and catered for.
We had a savoury 'cream tea" with canapés all of which was totally amazing. I still have guests that still say how amazing the food was and what a beautiful place to have a wedding.
If your looking for a setting to not only get married at but have stunning photos in their garden and to have incredible food, then this is the place.
I highly recommend Jacci at Upwey Wishing Well.

Perfect venue

Upway wishing well is such a beautiful venue! Delicious food and amazing staff. We did part hire for the numbers we had and had the choice of where the ceremony would take place. Jacci is very organised and explained to us everything we needed to know about how the day would run, what sections of the venue would be ours for the day and how everything would work which was very helpful and exciting when planning. We had the high tea package which was perfect and delicious and any guest allergies were managed immaculately. All the staff were amazing and helped make our day so special. We couldn’t thank them enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
