Dream wedding venue!

The venue truly took our breath away. From the rolling countryside views to the beautifully restored barns, everything felt magical. What we loved most was how the venue already feels so special without needing excessive decoration, it’s full of character, charm, and thoughtful details that speak for themselves.

We are so incredibly grateful to the entire team at Upton Barn. Our wedding day was beyond perfect, and we genuinely wouldn’t change a thing. The day flowed seamlessly from start to finish, and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how beautiful everything waw, several told us it was the nicest wedding venue they’d ever been to.

The wedding coordinators were an absolute dream to work with. From the start, they made everything feel manageable and stress-free. The scheduled planning meetings helped us feel prepared and excited, their email responses were always prompt and helpful, and on the day itself, they were such a calming, reassuring presence. It honestly felt like having an extra friend by our side.

Thank you, Upton Barn, for helping us create a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We’ll be recommending you to every engaged couple we know!

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.

The most MAGICAL day

Our whole wedding day was absolutely indescribable. From viewing the venue, all the planning to the day itself we couldn’t have asked for more from the venue. Carla was our coordinator and we cannot thank her enough for all the reassurance, running around she did and what a pure ray of sunshine she was. Their creativeness with our decorations was pure perfection and managed to get everything right to a T! We would highly recommend using the Paddock, it’s 1000% worth the money and me and my girls had the most amazing morning getting ready.

The whole grounds are stunning and our pictures came out beautifully (which ofcourse brought more happy tears). The day ran so smoothly thanks to all the staff, we didn’t even notice all the decorations being moved to our reception room.

Cannot recommend this venue enough and wish we could do it all over again!

The perfect wedding venue!

We knew Upton was the venue for us from the moment we viewed it!

The wedding coordinators and the team made our day feel effortless and so relaxed. Nothing was too much for them whether it was replying to endless emails in the run up, having a last minute indoor wedding due to the weather to even the owner popping in in the morning to make sure we had milk!

The grounds are breath taking that require minimal decorations, but the team are more than accommodating for any decorations you want. The new honeymoon suite is beautiful and was the perfect way to end our day!

We felt like the most important people, and I would recommend the venue to anyone!

The BEST venue!

We cannot put into words how thankful we are for everything everyone at Upton have done for us and for our special day. It truly was the best day of our lives! From the moment we came to Upton we knew we did not need to look at any other venue. It had such a warm feel to it that you can only describe once you see it for yourself. We fell in love with it the moment we came onto site and all the extras like the beautiful Paddock, cosy and modern accommodation were all just icing on the top of the cake! All of our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it was and many of our friends who have previously been married commented they can’t believe how slick everything was on the day!

Nothing over the past two years of planning was ever too much trouble. Upton were efficient, organised and had such an eye for detail, our day was beyond our wildest expectations. We are genuinely so sad we can’t do it all over again!

The perfect venue

From the first moment we stepped foot in the venue, we were overwhelmed with how stunning the grounds and interior was. It is modern but has character even without adding decor.

The staff were incredible and so helpful. On the day we had a medical emergency and they remained calm and professional and managed to seamlessly attend to the incident, support us as the bride and groom and attend to our other guests. We cannot thank them enough for this.

We were supported with the planning of the day and this helped the day to run smoothly and everything to be perfect! All of our guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how amazing all of the staff were.

I cannot recommend this venue enough!

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.

Even better than we'd imagined!

Wow, where to begin! Our wedding day was even better than I'd hoped for, and Upton Barn was such a huge part of what made it so wonderful. We had a February wedding and Upton has such a warm, cosy feel to it at that time of year, and looked absolutely gorgeous with lots of candles. We had rain all morning but as it cleared during our ceremony they asked if we wanted to change plans, so we could have our confetti and photos outside, I was so pleased! It was coordinated so seamlessly and easily.

Everyone who works at Upton puts so much care into every detail, Sarah was our coordinator and we can't thank her enough! Her excitement and energy was contagious, and she handled a few last minute changes with ease and really helped us feel relaxed and prepared in the run up to the day. The rest of the team throughout the day were impeccable at making us feel so looked after and happy, we truly got to feel like 'guests of honor' rather than hosts, we absolutely enjoyed every minute and couldn't have done that without them, thank you all!

Each area is so carefully considered, the Paddock is absolutely incredible for getting ready, and the accommodation is gorgeous and so convenient to have nearby. We really loved that there was plenty of seating in the bar area, and we used the entrance space to make a kids area too. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the venue, the staff, and even commented on the reasonable price of drinks, everyone kept comparing it to other weddings and saying how much better Upton was! Having seen friends planning weddings with a lot more stress than me, I know I found the guidance and coordination from Upton invaluable at every stage.

We were unbelievably lucky and won 50% off the venue, we still have to pinch ourselves at how amazing that was, we want to thank Upton again for this incredible prize, and for giving us the absolute dream wedding day. Thank you!!

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

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!

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!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
