Describe the best wedding that happened at The Barn at Upcote?
Every single wedding is different, that's the beauty of the space being a blank canvas! As such, there's no one wedding that we would say is our favourite - just specific elements from different ones that were amazing - like the singing waiters, the wow factor florals or an emotional aisle walk with your bestie.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Please do not sweat the small stuff - that is what we are here for! We are 100% behind you and appreciate every detail big or small is important to you. To quote one of our couples, "We are both utter control freaks but felt confident our day was in safe hands and were able to relax and enjoy our special day." V&J
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
