Grateful for your words of advice and expertise

We just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for everything you did for us on our wedding day and also in the lead up to it. We appreciate our timeframe was pretty tight which means we are all the more grateful for your words of advice and expertise. The Barn was the most beautiful place to get married, even in the storm! We had the most incredible day we could only have dreamed of and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it possible.

Exactly how I had envisioned

This place and its staff were amazing. I knew from the minute I saw the venue going up the drive that this is where I wanted to get married! Not just for convenience as everything is in one place but it’s beautiful. The staff are great, keeping in touch in the run up to our wedding. They listened and our day was perfect and looked exactly how I had envisioned. They will make you feel like yours is the only wedding they are hosting!

our dreams come true

We could not recommend the staff and venue more .On the lead up to the wedding, the staff were on hand to answer any question we might have and would answer emails quickly. The staff would also send us checklists on the lead up to the wedding to ensure we hadn't missed anything and everything was still the same or if we had any changes before the big day. Nothing was ever a problem for them! We will never be able to thank you guys enough!

The best day!

The best day! We really cannot thank the staff at Upcote enough for making our day so incredible. From the first time we went to view the venue we just fell in love with it and the team made us feel so welcome. The planning meetings were so helpful and took a lot of stress out of the process just knowing that the team were there for us at any time. They set up the barn just as we had imagined and the changes between ceremony/wedding breakfast and reception were seamless.

Upcote was absolutely the best possible choice

The Barn at Upcote was absolutely the best possible choice for our intimate, Hindu wedding. The team was amazing—so attentive and willing to go above and beyond to make our day perfect. The setting was stunning and felt incredibly private, exactly what we wanted. They embraced our Hindu wedding beautifully and handled all our specific requests with ease. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that exclusive, intimate feel - please book the Barn at Upcote because you will not be disappointed!

Exceptional

We had such a wonderful wedding day at The Barn; we couldn't have asked for anything better. The team were absolutely wonderful throughout. Alice and Aby were exceptional on the day (and Hannah in the evening), and the team were more than happy to answer any questions throughout the planning process. They were so helpful at every step. Thank you all so much for helping to create the perfect day that we will remember forever

Can't stop smiling!

Just wanted to first say a huge huge thank you for making Friday so special! We keep looking back through photos and can't stop smiling! Thank you again so much for everything over the past year of organising! We had the perfect day and everything was so beautiful and ran so smoothly (especially considering how many guests we had) and it's testament to your team. Thank you again for making our day so special.

It was a pleasure to get married here

When we first had a viewing at the barn, we immediately knew that this was the place we wanted to get married. From the start staff were so kind, friendly and down to earth. On the big day our guests were overwhelmed by the beauty of the Barn. The staff ensured the day was exactly as we wanted, relaxed and laid back, and we felt at ease knowing they would facilitate our order of the day as previously discussed. My husband and I cannot recommend the Barn enough and we are so thankful to the Barn.

I couldn’t have wished for a better venue

Just a note to say a huge thank you for the most amazing wedding reception. I couldn’t have wished for a better venue. From all of our meetings to the actual day, it was so easy and organised. Our wedding photos have come out fantastically and the beautiful back drop of the barn looks incredible. Your team were fabulous and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you again

It was like being welcomed into a home

We knew before we even looked around Upcote that it was going to be hard to compete…and we were so right. From the moment we walked on site it was like being welcomed into a home. You have been amazing through every step of our journey from giving suggestions or exclaiming how much you liked our ideas, we have loved the process. Thank you for replying to all of our emails and making our wedding a dream come true, we will be forever grateful.

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?

There are so many to choose from, though we do love how unique you can be with your wedding favours. From Tunnocks Teacakes to hand picked pebbles from the beach where you got engaged! Those little details can be so personal, emotional, and something wonderful to share with your favourite people.
