Really helpful

We would just like to say a big thank you to the team at Upwaltham Barns, we were booked to supply our vintage camera photo booth as a surprise for the bride. The team were really helpful in the organisation prior to the wedding day and on the day itself the event was well organised and the staff were really helpful and everything ran smoothly. We were very impressed by the efficiency and care by the team. We can't wait to return.

Such a special, wonderful and stress-free day

We really did have the most magical and happy day and so many of our guests commented on how brilliant the day was and what an utterly spectacular and gorgeous venue Upwaltham Barns was. We felt very proud and lucky to be able to host our wedding reception there and every single member of staff we dealt with was always so friendly and so helpful, both on the day and also on the run up to the wedding.

We couldn't rate Upwaltham Barns more highly.

We got married there this Autumn and absolutely everything was just perfect. The staff are fantastic and so helpful and dedicated to making your big day run flawlessly and the venue is just beautiful. The drinks from the bar team were a huge hit and the food was incredible and very generous portions for the price- we still get people telling us how amazing it was weeks later. If you're considering getting married here then we promise, you won't regret it! Thank you.

The most amazing wedding venue in the south!!

As soon as we walked around the venue at first viewing we knew it was the one for us. It just had a lovely feel about it especially as its family run. We couldn’t fault our special day at all… it was honesty the best day EVER. Upwaltham made it all so easy and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you all so much!!!

Absolutely stunning

The venue is absolutely stunning. We booked the venue nearly two years previously and were impressed from start to finish. My vege and vegan guests were impressed with the personal emails for their dietary needs. The owners are absolutely lovely and very calming. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed on the day and Nicola was on hand with some delicious homemade elderflower juice. We can’t recommended this venue enough and we will miss our visits there.

The most perfect day

We had our wedding here at the end of November 2023, it was the most perfect day. The front of house staff were amazing and supportive of making the day go as smooth as possible. All our guests were very complementary of the food and venue. Couldn’t recommend this highly enough! Thank you for making our dream wedding possible.

Beautiful countryside setting

Beautiful countryside setting for our rustic wedding. The barns have plenty of space for everyone to enjoy their day, the courtyard is lovely to have drinks outside and games or entertainment. The Moroccan snug is lovely for people to go somewhere quieter to talk and relax, perfect on a cold evening as it has heaters. The cottage is the perfect bridal suite, beautifully decorated and plenty of space to get ready in. The barns need minimal decoration as they are beautiful as they are.

A truly beautiful venue

I fell in love with Upwaltham Barns about 0.5 seconds after we had walked through the entrance and we married there on the 26th May. A truly beautiful venue only surpassed by the amazing team that work behind the scenes, everything and everyone works so well together, and it honestly feels more like a family than a business. All our guests have said how perfect the day was, how amazing the food was and how polite, friendly and efficient the staff were. Thank you so much to all the staff at Upwaltham Barns for giving us an amazing day, that was honestly more perfect than I could ever have imagined.
