Upton Barn & Walled Garden

As soon as we saw Upton Barn for the first time we knew it was the venue for us. The beautiful gardens and building were absolutely amazing, the vibe of the setting was so calm and relaxed.
We were originally due to get married in July 2020 but due to the pandemic we had to postpone to July 2021. Throughout the whole thing Claire, Natalie and the team were so lovely and understanding and kept us updated. Natalie has been exceptional through our whole journey and really is an asset to Upton. Our day was even more perfect than we could have ever imagined, the layout works perfectly and every room is beautifully finished. Our guests said what an amazing wedding it was. We could not recommend Upton highly enough.

We cannot thank the Upton team enough for their help in organising our special day in such challenging and uncertain times - they were incredible.
Our wedding was initially booked for April 2020 but we deferred it to December 2020 due to the pandemic. Claire, Natalie and the Upton Team were incredible in reassuring us throughout the process and thinking of creative ideas to ensure we could go ahead with our wedding. They were always on hand to answer our questions and did everything possible to ensure guidelines were met without compromising our day. They thought of everything so we could relax knowing we were in good hands. As our wedding was for only 15 of us, we took Natalie’s advice on how to utilise the venue to make the most of the space but also get that intimate feeling. Despite the wintry December weather, the venue was stunning and felt so cosy and special. I was worried it might feel empty with so few guests but that certainly wasn’t the case. Our family and friends even commented how special the day felt by having fewer people there. The staff were so attentive on the day and everyone’s needs were perfectly catered for. We are so so happy we decided to get married at Upton and would highly recommend to anyone considering the venue. Thank you Team Upton, we love you!

The first time we saw Upton, we knew it was the one. The gardens, grounds and the barn itself were absolutely amazing. The atmosphere of the venue was so calm and relaxed, and we felt it perfectly reflected us as a couple.
We were were originally due to get married in August 2020 but due to the pandemic we had to postpone to August 2021. Throughout all the changes, Natalie and the team were so lovely and understanding and kept us updated. Natalie has personally looked after us the whole way through and has been an exceptional support, and her professionalism and knowledge are a great asset to Upton. Our day was even more perfect than we could have ever imagined. The weather was stunning, and the walled garden was the perfect setting to finally become Mr & Mrs. The layout works so well at Upton, and our day flowed seamlessly from one stage to the next. Our guests said what an amazing wedding and venue it was. We could not recommend Upton highly enough.

We had the best day ever! The staff at Upton were so incredibly professional, organised and flexible to our ideas! All in all a fab day with a wonderful team. All of our guests were so impressed with how beautiful the venue is and how smoothly the day went. Thank you Upton we will definitely be recommending to and friends/family that get engaged! x

We recently got married at Upton barn & walled garden and wow what a perfect day it was! The venue itself is truly stunning, rustic and beautiful. The fire pit was a huge hit in the evening! The lake and the fountain made for beautiful photos.
The whole booking process went super smooth with Natalie being our events coordinator. She was always on hand if I had any questions or worries. She kept me calm throughout our wedding day, helped the men with their buttonholes, just generally being there to help anyone who needed it. We had so many guests come up and tell us how wonderful the venue is and how lovely all the staff were working that day. The tack room was an absolute saviour for my husband and myself. We could sneak away for a 5 minute breather, a quiet and calm place. I can’t recommended Upton enough! The whole Upton team are incredible. Thank you so much X

This is a gem of a venue in every aspect. The location is stunning with so much space both inside and outside. Every photo taken looks fantastic with so many different locations to choose from. Both our photographers and Videographers were excited to use the different spaces and make the most of this stunning venue.
We originally booked Upton Barn in 2019 before the pandemic began. When we viewed the venue, we were instantly excited by the converted barns which have stunning architectural features throughout. Me and my husband were looking for a venue that would allow us to have a Hybrid Hindu/English wedding. Upton Barns were incredibly receptive to our ideas working through the logistics of this very different wedding style. The complexity of our wedding has required us to work very closely with both Claire and Natalie. When the pandemic began this communication became even more important. I can’t fault how they handled such a curveball in such uncertain times. In total, we rearranged our wedding twice due to it not being possible to proceed with only a guest limit of 30. I am happy to say we finally finished getting married on the 16th of September 2021. With a long time between booking and completing the wedding, me and my husband had made many changes from employing a Videographer to making more decorations that needed to be installed. The communication between ourselves and Natalie where constant right up to the wedding day. All our suppliers have commented on how welcoming the venue was to them when installing and setting up, how organized and smooth the whole process was. For me, my husband, and our complex wedding this was a weight off our minds, and we could just focus on enjoying the day. Hindu weddings are more of a casual affair where guests can chat amongst themselves, get up for drinks, and play many games throughout the ceremony. The venue and its staff bear witness to an intense chasing of the grooms’ shoes from both sides of the family. All be it running a little late from schedule Natalie and the team kept things running as best to time as possible. We really did throw everything at Upton Barn and its team that day, from the bottom of my heart I can’t thank them enough. During photos, we had a medical emergency from an infant in our immediate family. We are lucky to know so many medically trained guests, but honestly, the venues team was amazing. From dealing with the emergency to informing us and our guests. They were incredible. Not only that but having the whole day's schedule thrown out the window and 87 guests in shock they really kept the day together. I think we all thought that was it of the day. But with the knowledge that the little boy was in the hospital and ok. Me and my Husband worked with Natalie and the team to resume the wedding breakfast to see what we could salvage from the rest of the evening. I can honestly say even with all that happened we had a fantastic day. Our ceremony had been perfect, our wedding breakfast was beautiful, and our evening was the celebration we hoped for. If we had chosen to do this wedding anywhere else, I am convinced we would not have continued it. Having the Upton barn team organizing the logistic even when it all when wrong was the savior of our day. Even with this review, I don’t think I can do the venue or staff justice they are just fabulous!

Beautiful garden, flowers, views, and lake. Great attention to the needs of the bride, groom and all the guests, including accessibility for a wheelchair user.
