A dream come true ❤️



It has taken us longer than expected to write this review as neither of us could find the words to describe how perfect our day was! From the moment we arrived at Upton Barn, we knew it was something special, but we never could have imagined just how magical our wedding day would turn out to be.

The team at Upton Barn went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, from coordinating with our vendors to anticipating little details we hadn’t even thought of. Georgia was simply incredible throughout the whole planning process- nothing was too much. Having Georgia and Carla on the day, embracing all the madness and ensuring we all had the best time surpassed all our expectations and I don’t think we will ever be able to thank you enough. The kindness and professionalism the whole team showed us made us feel completely at ease, and it truly felt like they cared as much about our day as we did.

Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was and they’re not wrong. It truly is a beautiful place. As the evening rolled around and the lights twinkled across the reception space and the sparklers came out, we looked around and felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It was us, it was pure love, and it was exactly how we had always hoped it would feel.

We’ll cherish the memories we made here for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Upton Barn, for giving us the most perfect day imaginable. If you’re looking for a venue that’s as heartfelt as it is beautiful, then this is it!

The best day at Upton Barn 25.10.25💒

We had our wedding at Upton Barn & Walled Garden and it was truly perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, we fell in love with it the moment we first visited- our guests haven’t stopped commenting on how beautiful and relaxed the day felt.

The team were exceptional throughout the entire journey. In the lead-up to the wedding they were incredibly attentive, making sure every detail was perfect (including the things we hadn’t even thought of ourselves!). Nothing was ever too much trouble. The monthly open days after booking were such a help for our planning too, and it was lovely being able to show friends and family around as everything came together.

Georgia, our wedding planner, was an absolute dream. From our first planning meeting she put us completely at ease, and we walked away feeling so much more relaxed about the whole process. She also knew how worried we were about the weather affecting our outdoor ceremony, and she went above and beyond to make the indoor ceremony absolutely perfect, it felt so beautiful- we were genuinely blown away. On the day itself, everything flowed seamlessly, perfectly organised without ever feeling rigid. You could truly feel how much everyone cared about making it special for us.

The way the staff worked with our suppliers and set everything up was incredible. Even thoughtful touches, like subtly repurposing our ceremony flowers and candles to elevate other areas later on, made the whole day feel even more magical.

Each space within the venue added something unique, creating a lovely natural flow for our guests as the day unfolded.

We had the most magical day and genuinely couldn’t imagine having it anywhere else. We can’t thank the team enough for everything they did. It was truly the perfect day.

Bethany & Paul 💕

Absolutely Amazing

Absolutely beautiful venue. From start to finish Georgia and the team were so professional and easy going they truly made us feel so blessed to of had them coordinate our wedding. I am in the wedding industry as a bridal seamstress and have had so many of my brides get married here that I had to check it out myself and were we not disappointed. Every part of the venue is truly stunning, from the rustic walls to the amazing size of the wedding breakfast location. We had been quite particular in the type of location we want as we were going for a autumnal style wedding and everything looked stunning. We had amazing photographs in front of beautiful autumn trees, a lovely cosy fire pit in the evening with toasted marshmallows and all the beautiful lighting around the place gave it an amazing cosy warm feeling. Georgia arranged all our decorations perfectly, which I'm afraid were quite a few, but we we're blown away by how it all turned out. This place is definitely a magical venue to have your wedding at and we are so grateful for everyone's input into making it amazing. Thank you all so much, love Kelli & Terry.xxx

A Magical Day Made Perfect by Upton Barn & Walled Garden

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding venue than Upton Barn & Walled Garden. The restored barn set in the stunning walled garden, with its charming stables, provided the perfect backdrop for our day. The décor is simple, classy, and beautiful, meaning we didn’t need to add lots of extra decorations — it felt elegant without any effort.

The Stable Barn, where we had our wedding breakfast, is spacious without ever feeling overwhelming, and the massive window created the perfect light for photos before our meal. The walled garden allowed us to have the outdoor ceremony we had always dreamed of, creating a truly magical setting.

The Paddock, the venue’s getting-ready area, was modern, classy, and had absolutely everything we could need. The team were brilliant in helping organise two brides getting ready separately so we didn’t see each other before the ceremony — it all went smoothly thanks to their support.

The staff went above and beyond to make the day perfect. Carla and Georgia were amazing, even though it was Carla’s first wedding at the venue! They helped everything flow effortlessly, calmed nerves, and even convinced my nephew to walk down the aisle (!!). They made us feel like family from start to finish and were so happy to accommodate multiple viewings for family members — nothing was ever too much trouble.

We also found the team incredibly responsive and professional, and their support made our day feel completely stress-free. If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning surroundings, elegant simplicity, and genuinely wonderful people, Upton Barn & Walled Garden is it!

The most magical wedding venue 🤩

Our wedding day was absolute perfection – every detail was beyond our expectations and we couldn’t be happier. The Walled Garden was simply breathtaking – such a magical setting for our ceremony. The Stable Barn for the wedding breakfast was spectacular. It’s not just about the aesthetics though - the ambience is just dreamy, creating the perfect setting for a wholesome, fun, fairytale wedding day!

I live abroad so organising a wedding from afar could have been so difficult but Georgia and the team were so organised, professional, and communicative throughout the whole process. Everything was always clear and upfront – no hidden costs or surprises – which made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We cannot recommend Upton Barn & Walled Garden enough!

Outstanding venue

What a venue and what a team of wonderful people! Everything from the minute we visited Upton the first time, until we picked up our decor the day after the wedding was absolutely seamless. Special thanks to Georgia for all her support. Communication was proactive and friendly, no query was too much, and the team went above and beyond organising things we hadn’t even considered. Integration with suppliers was fantastic, getting ready space and accommodation was wonderful. We would recommend Upton Barn a hundred times over.

Best day of our lives✨

There isn’t enough words to describe how amazing the service was from the Upton team on our wedding day and leading up to the wedding. Georgia was an absolute delight to work with. Her knowledge was amazing and made us both feel so comfortable and confident that our day was going to be perfect. Every penny was so worth it. All questions were answered quickly. Thank you Upton team for making our day so perfect!

Our dream venue 🫶🏼

Upton Barn & Walled Garden was our dream wedding venue! It was the first venue we went to view and from the moment we stepped on site we were almost certain it would be where we would make our promise to one another. The setting is absolutely stunning, and both the indoor and outdoor spaces are both beautiful (important for a September wedding)! Whilst the venue did the talking for itself what really made our experience so special, was the amazing team behind it all, and in particular our wedding co-ordinator, Georgia. From start to finish Georgia was absolutely fabulous, she is organised, approachable and it is evident she takes so much passion and pride in her job! The love Georgia showed towards us and our guests on our wedding day was above and beyond her job role, she made us all feel so special and supported throughout the day and guided us through so gracefully. It really felt we had gained a friend by the end of the planning! We were not the most decisive couple but the Upton Barn team guided us through the whole process and were just a message away if we needed anything at all - nothing was too much bother and all of our guests and suppliers only had great things to say about the venue and team! On the day the Upton Barn team ensured the day was completely stress-free and it meant we had one less thing to worry about and could focus on enjoying every moment. A huge thank you to Georgia and the team at Upton Barn & Walled Garden, we had the wedding of our dreams and have made memories that we will truly treasure forever. If you chose Upton Barn & Walled Garden to be your venue, there are a couple things that are certain…you are in safe hands and you will have a wedding day that is memorable beyond your imagination! Thank you team Upton, we want to do it all again!

Where do we start with explaining Upton Barn… the staff are incredible! The venue is absolutely beautiful and they only keep making it better and better!
Our day was made so so special by the team at Upton barn, nothing was too much to ask. The support they showed in the lead up to our big day and through the actual wedding day was more than we could have ever asked for.
A massive thank you to our wedding coordinator Georgia for all your support and help thought out the processes, you were there for the highs and the lows of wedding planning, and I can’t thank you enough for that.
No questions asked were silly question and they are always there to respond to any calls or emails. The fact that you have the option to visit every month for a welcome day is so helpful to work out
how and where you want your decor, and to bring family and friends to show them around.
We loved being able to do this.

Our guests haven’t stopped talking about how stunning the venue is! We haven’t had all of our photos back yet, only some sneak peeks, but I can’t wait to see them as the setting here is just incredible.

We hope to be able to come back and see you all again, also to see the updates/ changes you are making!

From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU!

The perfect wedding venue.

We had the most wonderful experience working with the Upton team. We only saw Upton when viewing venues and knew it had everything we wanted. We went for an initial first private viewing which was a wonderful time to ask questions and see the spaces in our own time. Booking the venue was simple and it was clear what the prices would be. Upton provided a lot of support along the way with recommended suppliers and booking registrars. All the suppliers we used were recommended by Upton and they all had great things to say about Upton as a venue but also the team too. When it came to our planning meeting a month before the wedding, we had a one on one with one of our coordinators and went through everything to do with the day and it was clear that nothing would be too much to ask for. Our wedding day was perfect, the team at Upton were so supportive and kept the day running well and smooth. I got ready in the Paddock which was the perfect setting for a relaxed morning with my bridesmaids. We were honoured to have Georgia M and Carla as our coordinators and they were absolutely faultless and so much fun. I have very fond memories with our coordinators from the day, and they made it so wonderful for us. Thank you so much to everyone at Upton for making our day better than we could’ve dreamed.

✨ A Year On, and Still Dreaming of Upton Barn ✨

We got married at Upton Barn & Walled Garden a year ago, and not a week goes by without someone reminiscing about how stunning it was. From the moment we arrived, we felt enveloped in calm, care, and that unmistakable “Upton feeling.” The venue itself is breathtaking, rustic charm meets contemporary elegance, with every detail thoughtfully designed. The Walled Garden was the perfect setting for our vows, framed by lavender and sunshine, and the barn offered a seamless flow from ceremony to celebration.

What truly sets Upton apart is the team. They were more than coordinators, they were steady hands, kind hearts, and quiet heroes behind the scenes. Their support through planning and on the day itself was exceptional: responsive, reassuring, and genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. We felt held, not just hosted.

Our guests still talk about the fire pit, the beauty of the walled garden and grounds, and the warmth of the space. It didn’t need overdecorating, it already felt like a place built for love. Upton Barn gave us a day full of laughter, tears, and joy, and a setting that reflected everything we hoped for: intimacy, beauty, and meaning.

Thank you, Upton Barn, for giving us a place to begin our marriage with grace and magic. A year on and we are so happy with our choice.

The most magical day

People say you’ll instantly know when you’ve found the right venue for your special day and we couldn’t agree more.
From the second we drove into the grounds of Upton, before even stepping foot inside, we were blown away. The views of the countryside were breathtaking and the horses on site were just a dream.
There aren’t enough ways to describe how amazing all the team at Upton have been throughout, from showing us around, going through with booking, planning throughout and the big day, it’s all been perfect.
A huge huge thank you to Georgia who ran the entire day faultlessly, the wedding day wouldn’t of been the same without her help and in the end it felt like we were celebrating our day with a friend!
Our family and friends kept saying how incredible the venue was, both inside and outside, they loved how romantic, intimate and cosy it all felt.
We could write a prequel, book and even a sequel on how much we loved having our wedding here.
If you’re thinking of having your special day here, you won’t be disappointed, everything was absolutely perfect and the best day of our lives.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
