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!

Beautiful venue - inside and out!

Upton is the most beautiful venue with the most stunning views.
We viewed Upton when it was pouring it down with rain and loved it even then so we just knew it was the venue for us! We loved that there was the space for outdoor but both indoor as well, we've been to weddings previously where the area of your ceremony is also where you have your breakfast and the wedding party are moved outside so they can turn it around, this doesn't happen at Upton as it is all seperate so makes the day run so much smoother behind the scenes and this is something I wanted for our venue as it is England after all, you can't guarantee the weather!
The staff have been great from the start and they offer monthly visits for couples to have a look around to help with all the planning process.
They have really thought of it all with the Paddock for the bridal party, it is the most amazing space to get ready with plenty of room - there is no stressing about being late as you're already on site but also means that you get the excitement of seeing everyone arrive but they can't see you.

I can't fault Upton at all and would recommend here to anyone, the amount of compliments we received from guests about how lovely its was and how attentive the staff were on the day and after!

Seamless, beautiful day – exceptional value and care from the Upton team

We cannot recommend Upton highly enough. From start to finish our wedding day was wonderful, seamless and completely stress-free. We felt so well looked after by Tracey and the whole team, and everything ran so smoothly that we could simply relax and enjoy the day. We’ve had so many compliments from guests about the venue, the atmosphere and how effortlessly it all flowed.
Value for money was brilliant. The package already includes a minimum of two coordinators, which made a real difference on the day and gave us huge peace of mind. The additional Foundry building, adds so much flexibility and character to the venue, as well as further catering options.
The links with the caterers were another highlight, they were fantastic value for money and delivered excellent food that our guests loved. Everything tied together beautifully and we never felt we had to compromise on quality to stay within budget.
Overall, an outstanding venue and team. Wewould happily recommend Upton to anyone looking for a special, well-organised day without the stress. Thank you again for making our wedding so special.

Wow where do I even begin?

From the moment we started planning our wedding at Upton Barn & Walled Garden, right through to the moment we left as newlyweds, the whole team were absolutely incredible. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better group of people to have looking after us on such a special day.

Our wedding coordinators, Georgia and Georgia, were absolutely fantastic. They made the entire process feel so easy and reassuring, and on the day itself we genuinely didn’t have to worry about a thing. As the bride and groom, we didn’t have to delegate, chase anyone up or wonder what was happening next — everything was taken care of.

The attention to detail was amazing. From our planning meeting right through to the final little touches that you wouldn’t necessarily think about yourselves, everything had been considered. All of our suppliers knew exactly where they needed to be and when they needed to be there, which was completely down to the organisation and communication from the coordinators. It meant we could actually be present and enjoy our wedding rather than worrying about logistics, and that is something we will always be so grateful for.

The Paddock was also such a lovely space for the bridal party to get ready in. Having teas and coffees available, a speaker for music, showers, a basin for the hairstylist and plenty of chairs and space for makeup made the whole morning so much easier and more enjoyable. It gave us the perfect space to spend those last few hours together before the ceremony, and it felt really special being able to get ready there rather than having to worry about setting everything up ourselves.

The accommodation was also lovely and incredibly comfortable. After such a huge day, it was so nice to have somewhere beautiful and comfortable to come back to, and honestly, we didn’t want to leave the next morning! 😂

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful. The flowers in the garden were stunning and made such a gorgeous setting for our day. We also loved how the venue transformed in the evening, with the fairy lights and fire pits creating such a warm, magical atmosphere. There were so many different areas for our guests to enjoy, which worked perfectly for a wedding with people of all different ages.

The food from the caterers was also incredible. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented and our guests have continued to mention how much they enjoyed it!

We also have to give a huge mention to the bar staff, who were fantastic throughout the day and evening. They were so attentive, friendly and helpful, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. They really helped keep the atmosphere going and made our guests feel so well looked after.

One of the things we appreciated most was how effortless everything felt the next morning. The staff had already packed away our decorations, cake and everything else that needed to be cleared, so all we had to do was load everything into our car and leave. After such a full-on day, this was honestly such a lovely touch and meant we could take our time, enjoy our final morning and leave without having to worry about clearing everything up ourselves.

If we had to suggest one little addition, it would be breakfast the following morning. After staying in the accommodation, we think a simple breakfast option would be such a lovely touch and would make an already fantastic experience feel even more complete.

But ultimately, what made Upton Barn so special for us was the people. Every member of staff we came across was friendly, attentive and genuinely seemed to care about making our wedding day the best it could possibly be. You could tell that everyone knew their role and worked together as a team, and that made such a difference.

As a bride and groom, you spend so much time planning and imagining your wedding day, and then suddenly it arrives and goes by in a flash. Being able to completely relax, enjoy every moment and trust the team around us was something we will never take for granted.

We left Upton Barn & Walled Garden not only with the most incredible memories, but feeling genuinely looked after from beginning to end. Our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be, and the whole team played such a huge part in making it so special.

Thank you to everyone at Upton Barn & Walled Garden, and especially our two amazing Georgias, for giving us a wedding day we will remember for the rest of our lives. We honestly couldn’t recommend you enough. ❤️

Thank you for helping make the beginning of our marriage so incredibly special.

Upton Barn and Walled Garden

From the moment we booked our initial viewing to picking up our wedding items post wedding we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The venue is beautiful and nothing was too much trouble. They supported our ideas and the day felt stress free and we could relax and enjoy our day. Georgia M our wedding coordinator was exceptional. We have the fonest of memories of our wedding and we couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

No where better to get married than Upton!!

My wife and I got married at Upton barn August 2026! From the very first viewing, their attention to detail was second to none. They remember all the small things you dream of for your wedding day and have an ability to make any vision come to life!!

We had Tracey as our wedding co-ordinator, supported by Georgie on the day! And they couldn’t have been better! They were like 2 extra mums, there holding our hand when we needed, guiding us through our day stress free and making sure everything went so smoothly. But most importantly it felt like they were celebrating with us and you could see the genuine care and happiness they had for us as a couple!

We wish we could do the whole day over again, it was the best day of our lives!! One of our massive highlights was having an trad duo play on their new rooftop for our first dance and with the views and sunset, it was the most magical moment of our lives!!

We’ll be back to Upton for some of their open events / feast over fire because it’s very quickly become one of our favourite places to be!!

If you’re thinking of booking Upton for your wedding day, our only advice is to do it!

Lots of love
Niamh and Tan xxxx

Absolutely Stunning!

We were truly spoilt rotten with Upton Barn. From the moment we booked with them, they were thorough and attentive. If we reached out for help, they would immediately respond with anything we needed. On the day, the staff made sure it all ran smoothly. Even when the bustle on my dress broke, they rushed to pin it up so I could get back to dancing. The venue itself is beautiful and the walled garden is just stunning. I couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Absolutely perfect!

From the moment we viewed Upton Barn 18 months ago to our wedding day last week, everything has been incredible. The team at Upton are wonderful and a real credit to the venue. They are friendly, responsive, knowledgeable and organised - a true delight to work with. We owe a massive thank you in particular to Georgia who coordinated our day to perfection.

We were lucky enough to get married in the beautiful Walled Garden and then had reception drinks on their new terrace overlooking the Devon countryside. We then moved indoors for our wedding breakfast and evening party, which are held in separate rooms. Everything on the day flowed seamlessly and each area/room is stunning in its own right.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding and would 100% recommend it to anyone else thinking about getting married at Upton Barn.

Still not over how amazing this place is.

Where do we even begin? We got married at Upton Barn & Walled Garden on 18th July 2026, and it was quite simply the most perfect day of our lives.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. We were fortunate enough to have our ceremony outside in the beautiful sunshine, and the gardens created the most incredible backdrop for our wedding. Every part of the venue is immaculate and beautifully maintained.
What really made the day unforgettable, however, was the incredible team. A special thank you to Tracey and Georgina, who went above and beyond from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire planning process and on the day itself. Their attention to detail, organisation and genuine care meant we could relax and enjoy every single moment knowing everything was in safe hands.
The whole day ran seamlessly, and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how friendly and professional all of the staff were.
If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines breathtaking surroundings with exceptional service, look no further than Upton Barn & Walled Garden. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect place to celebrate our wedding, and we'll cherish the memories forever.
Thank you to everyone at Upton Barn & Walled Garden for giving us the most incredible day. It truly exceeded every expectation, and we would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

The most incredible day of our lives

We cannot recommend Upton Barn enough if you are considering it as your wedding venue!! From the get go the team were so responsive to everything single question that I had, always replying to my never ending emails. The final planning meeting happened well in advance so it allows you time to organise those final few things that you may not have thought about. I was a typical DIY bride and Georgia (our wedding coordinator) pulled of our vision perfectly!
Now for the wedding day itself…. EVERYTHING was taken care of. The team ensure that you literally do not lift a finger. You can just tell that everybody at Upton cares about their jobs and cares about you having the best wedding day ever! The whole day was seamless and you don’t have to worry about packing anything away as they just do it all in the background without you even noticing.
I feel that what you pay is worth its weight in gold for just the most magical day of your lives!
Please please book Upton so you can see the magic unfold for yourselves, you will not be disappointed!!

Couldn’t imagine having our wedding anywhere else!

From the moment we first viewed Upton Barn, we knew we’d found our venue. It’s absolutely stunning and somehow manages to be both rustic and modern at the same time. Every part of it is beautiful, and the newer spaces in The Foundry just make it even more special. We honestly couldn’t picture ourselves getting married anywhere else.

The team at Upton Barn are quite simply outstanding. From the months leading up to the wedding right through to the very last song, we felt completely looked after. Every question was answered, every little detail was thought about and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

A huge, huge thank you has to go to Georgia Mears our wedding coordinator. She is honestly incredible at what she does and deserves so much recognition. She was calm, organised, reassuring and just seemed to have absolutely everything under control at all times. In the lead up to the wedding she was always there to answer questions and put our minds at ease, and on the day she worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure everything ran perfectly. We never once had to worry about what was happening next because we knew Georgia had it covered. She is an absolute credit to Upton Barn and we honestly can’t thank her enough for everything she did to make our day so special.

The day itself couldn’t have run more smoothly. From getting ready in The Paddock, to our ceremony in the Walled Garden, drinks on the rooftop, the wedding breakfast and then dancing the night away, every transition was effortless. We didn’t have to think about a single thing - we were just able to be completely present and enjoy every moment with our family and friends.

One of the biggest compliments we kept hearing from our guests was how incredibly well organised everything was. So many people commented on how smoothly the day flowed, how attentive the team were and just how much everyone behind the scenes had everything under control. It genuinely felt like such a well-oiled machine, but in a way that was warm, personal and never felt robotic.

We honestly had the most magical day, and so much of that is down to the incredible team at Upton Barn. Thank you for creating such a beautiful venue, for caring so much about every couple that gets married there, and for giving us memories we’ll cherish forever. If we could do it all again tomorrow, we’d choose Upton Barn every single time 🤍🤍🤍

Upton Heroes! 🙌

We had our wedding at Upton on Friday and it was absolutely incredible! We worked with Georgia from the very start, however, every single member of the team we met and worked with were brilliant!
From brilliant communication, to decor placement and everything in between, it was all just PERFECT!
The venue is absolutely stunning and the new parts were just an added bonus. We fell in love with the venue straight away.
The Paddock where you can get ready is a highlight. I had a team of 10 bridesmaids, my mum and 4 hair and makeup artist and the room was perfect, with plenty of space. We never once struggled and had the most relaxing morning.
The team at Upton bought my vision to LIFE 😍 everything was exactly how I wanted (I sent several documents on what I like and was a pain) but what the team done for us was absolutely incredible.
Georgia, you were a pleasure to work with! You made our day go so smoothly, we’re so professional but also felt like a friend throughout. I’m actually so upset now it’s over& we don’t get to speak anymore 😂
I would get married here over and over again and forever grateful we chose this incredible venue.
Thank you all xx

Get married at Upton Barn!

We got married at Upton Barn in the middle of May 2026 and it was amazing! Tracey and Georgia had been on hand for months, if not longer, answering all our questions incredibly quickly and being a constant source of support. And then on the day, no problem or question was too big, Tracey and Georgia are the most calming, lovely presence on your big day. The venue itself is stunning, we hardly dressed it and it didn't need it at all. We were determined to have an outdoor wedding and we weren't sure given the weather the day before had been terrible. We were told we could make a last minute call and go inside if we needed to.
Me and Joe didn't think about anything else other than having the best time, all day. It was beautiful!! Thank you so much :)

Wedding 4th May 2026

We got married at Upton a couple of weeks ago and honestly the day was absolutely amazing! Upton were brilliant from day one, always there when you needed them/had a query and their attention to detail throughout, particularly the final planning meeting was superb! Georgia coordinated our day and everything went better than we could have asked for. If there was anything that didn’t go to plan then we had no idea! It was our dream day and our experience with Upton made that 1000x more amazing so thank you so much!

How soon until we can renew our vows, because we’re desperate to come back!

I cannot recommend Upton Barn & Walled Garden highly enough. From our very first enquiry all the way through until the Wedding Day itself the team were responsive, professional, calming and just all around lovely!

Our co-ordinator was Georgia and she was absolutely wonderful, we adored her and she helped make what could be a stressful process feel very calm and fun to plan!

Neither of us could believe how perfect the day was, everything was organised while still allowing space for the day to feel natural and relaxed. The entire team were so kind and supportive. We honestly can’t say enough good things!

Our biggest problem is… we had such a perfect day that we genuinely wish we could renew our vows here every single year!

Thank you so much guys, you are truly the best 🤍
