The perfect day at the perfect venue!!
We knew the second we walked into Upton Barn, that is was the venue for us!
It is a beautiful and modern space which offers both indoor and outdoor options for a wedding.
From the off set, we were really well supported by the team at Upton to plan our day and they provided thorough and helpful advice and guidance to what can seem like a daunting process.
Our wedding coordinator Kaliegh was the best, from our final meeting until the end of our big day, she made sure our big day was perfect - from setting up the venue with decorations, to coordinating timings and calming us both down before the I Do's. Everyone really went the extra mile, and no question or change was too much, everything was seamless.

Absolutely perfect!
We had the most dreamy experience with Upton Barn, from the first day we came for a tour right up to our Wedding day. The team were understanding, attentive and friendly.
I got ready in the Paddock, it was such a safe space and had everything we needed, it felt so special to be getting ready in such a beautiful space and definitely made us all feel much more relaxed.
The Wedding itself went smoothly, all the staff were fabulous and so caring even over the finer details we had planned, the timings ran so well and the food from Pickle Shack was ace!
I would highly recommend Upton Barn, such a friendly and professional team and stunning location. It certainly ticked all our boxes and I wish I could relive our special day again!
