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

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.

Everything went so smoothly on the day

I just wanted to write and say thank you for coordinating our wedding with such ease, we truly had the BEST, most perfect day! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the on-day on-site staff, and we've had so many comments about how friendly and lovely the staff were. Everyone has commented about how relaxed the day was (which is just what we wanted) and that is in huge part to all of you. Throughout the whole process someone has been there to answer any questions I had, we are both so grateful

Would recommend to anyone

The Barn at Upcote was the ideal venue for our wedding which hosted 70 people. The surrounding scenery is stunning and the barn and venue buildings are both impressive and intimate. We are really grateful to the whole team at the Barn who guided us through the wedding planning process, had excellent recommendations for suppliers, and reminded us of all the details that we had forgotten in the in the run up to the big day. As a result, our wedding ran like clockwork in a beautiful setting.

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.

What’s your favourite canapé?

As a joint decision, we're going to say any food in miniature form is a hit around here - we just can't get enough of them!

Cake! Though we all have a different flavour we love!

What is The Barn at Upcote most unique feature?

The stairs make the most beautiful entrance into the ceremony. Just wow!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

That moment when everybody's spilled out of the ceremony and they're standing around in the Courtyard chatting, drinking and having their photographs taken - it's that happy, content, relaxed atmosphere, those smiling faces and the sense of celebration in the air.
