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

Where do we start with this incredible venue?
rom the moment we chose Upcote, every meeting, email and phone call we had helped us no end and made the whole experience easy!! Nothing was ever too much trouble. On our wedding day it was seamless, the day went without a hitch and the staff were there for absolutely everything, you barely even knew they were there but we knew full well they were working so hard in the background sorting everything out for us. All of the staff made us feel like we were sharing our day with lifelong friends.

Over the moon
We got married here in September after booking almost 2 years prior and from start to finish our experience with Upcote was fantastic. We never had any issues and all our questions and concerns were answered quickly. They were fab on the day when we had the heaviest downpour as we went in for food and they made sure everyone had umbrellas to walk across with (even though they all got soaked in the process). Couldn’t have had a better venue for our big day, we had so many compliments from people.

The Perfect Venue
We had the most perfect day here and wish we could do it all over again! The venue is beautiful and the staff are amazing, so professional and couldn’t do enough for us. Lovely addition of a bridal suite, meaning you can stay on site the night of your wedding. Really responsive to messages leading up to the day which meant my wedding anxiety was kept at bay! Book Upcote, you won’t regret it

Fabulous from start to finish
A huge thank you for making our wedding day the best day of our lives. You were fabulous from start to finish, having all the meetings beforehand were so helpful and ensured we hadn’t forgotten anything big. On the wedding day, you were just amazing, you helped everything run smoothly so that we didn’t have to worry, you were so friendly and went above and beyond! you were incredible and we honestly couldn’t have done it without you! We could not have wished for a better team/venue!

Frequently Asked Questions
(10)

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.

Where’s the best photo spot at The Barn at Upcote?

Our secret garden is gorgeous all year round, an absolute must see for all photographers to get that wow factor shot of you both.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at The Barn at Upcote?

No celebrities that we can name but we've had a couple of furry VIPs who have stolen the show - particularly Gus the Dachshund!

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!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

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 / Grain Store 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.
