Incredible wedding venue!

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than The Barn at Upcote for our wedding! From the moment we started planning, the team were incredibly helpful and attentive, making sure every detail was taken care of. They truly went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly, and their support was so appreciated. The location is absolutely stunning, with the beautiful countryside providing the perfect backdrop for our special day. All our guests had a wonderful time, and we received so many compliments on the venue. We highly recommend The Barn at Upcote to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue!

Most magical day in a rustic setting

Our wedding day was flawless, thanks to Sophie’s help planning the entire day from every single detail in advance through to running the operation on the day. The most gorgeous Cotswold barn, in an intimate and hidden setting. Perfect for a midsized wedding with close friends and family.

The honeymoon suite was a little lackluster. The toilet was broken upon arrival the day before when we set up and we notified the staff then. However, whilst getting ready with 4 x bridesmaids, MOB and myself with a makeup artist in the suite on the day of the wedding, the staff decided that was the best time to spend 2 hours trying to fix the toilet seat issue....

However, whilst getting ready with 4 x bridesmaids, MOB and myself with a makeup artist in the suite on the day of the wedding, the staff decided that was the best time to spend 2 hours trying to fix the toilet seat issue. We were unable to use the bathroom during this time and felt an inconvenience when we did try. The room also came with very basic amenities and a cold croissant left out overnight for a morning breakfast. Also, no one came into the room to just spruce it up between us getting ready and retiring for the evening. We feel this would’ve been a fair expectation given the cost of the venue and personalised & quality service we had up until that point.

Overall, it was a magical day and we had an absolute ball which we will cherish forever.

Best choice for your wedding - period!

This venue was the best possible choice for our wedding. Where to begin? 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. The garden was the perfect spot for our couples’ photos, and the barn itself had this lovely whimsical charm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for that exclusive, intimate feel! You will not be disappointed!

The Most Perfect Venue + Team

The Barn at Upcote was the first and only venue me and my partner viewed for our wedding and we absolutely hit the jackpot.

The venue is absolutely stunning - intimate, rural + a gorgeous blank canvas that we didn’t need much decor. It rained on my wedding day and even in the rain, the venue just shone!

The team are so friendly, warm and accommodating. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were absolutely perfect at responding and adjusting to our needs throughout the process.

I want to attend a future wedding at the Barn at Upcote as my guests said it was so great. They have a good list of recommended suppliers...

Even though it’s fairly close to Cheltenham, you really feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. I DIYed my wedding but the team reassured me and delivered on the promise that everything would be set up with no hassle.

I couldn’t recommend them more!

The Perfect Venue!

We had our wedding here at the start of June and we can happily say it was the best day of our lives. From the moment we turned up to view the venue for the first time, Sophie and the rest of the team were fantastic with us and made the wedding planning process so much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Their overall communication in the lead-up to the big day was also brilliant. The venue is an amazing place to host a wedding, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to marry at the Barn at Upcote. All our guests came away saying what a great day they had, and we will look back...

Best Day Ever

We had our wedding at the Barn at Upcote 2 Weeks ago.
It was the best day ever and that is all down to the venue and their team. The staff couldn’t do enough for you from when we booked to when we left the following day. The venue itself is beautiful and despite not having the warmest day it didn’t make any impact. The caterers (Epic) were superb and knew the venue inside and out.
Thank you Upcote for making my wedding day an event we will never forget. If you are looking for a wedding venue don’t look any further than the Barm at Upcote.

Thank you so much

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 🥰

A perfect day and venue!

We had the most incredible experience from start to end with the Barn at Upcote! We looked at a variety of venues in the area for an outdoor ceremony, and as soon as we saw photos of this idyllic location we knew it was the place for us. As well as the incredible setting, what really sold us was the exceptional staff - from when we first got in touch they were amazingly kind and friendly, and made it clear that they'd be happy to shape the day into whatever we wanted it to be.

Both the attitude of the staff and the layout of the venue allowed us to plan a really fun and unique wedding with lots of different areas for different activities. We have never been so happy as when we showed up at our wedding and it had been transformed into exactly what we'd pictured, and then to see our guests start enjoying themselves there.

We had planned out quite a particular day, but on the day we did not have to lift a finger! The venue staff absolutely understood everything that we wanted, and executed it perfectly, from how everything looked to the timings for everything. It was incredible to be able to communicate what we wanted and then not have to worry at all about it getting done because of the exceptionally kind and competent staff. All we can say now is thank you so much to this venue for giving us the best day of our lives. And they even managed to swing us perfect weather, too! Please do choose this venue for your special day, you will be so happy you did.
