A wonderful underrated venue

Upton House was the perfect venue for us. We had an amazing day. The setting was beautiful and the staff were wonderful. One thing we loved is how many rooms you have available. With the help of the team at Upton in the planning stages we found great ways to use each space differently, in a way to add to the day! I can’t recommend Upton House enough and the price is even better!

Spring Wedding

We got married on 17 May 2025, we chose UCP as we are there pretty much every week with our 3 children, so it was the perfect venue for us. The House is stunning, with lovely open light rooms and a quirky, hidden bar. It barely needed any decoration. The grounds are beautiful, and perfect for photos, especially as the sun was out! The staff were great, very professional and everything ran smoothly. Lauren told us not to think or worry about a thing and to enjoy our day… and we really did! I would highly recommend UCP as a venue.

Wedding Reception

We had our wedding reception at Upton House and it was the most magical experience. From the very beginning Lauren was friendly, responsive and listening to us. Upton House is the most beautiful scene for any event. I couldn’t have asked for more and we were blown away with how easy everything was for us. Thank you so much for everything.

The day of my dreams

Upton House and Country Park is an absolutely amazing place to get married. We decided to hire the house for the day and I couldn’t have wished for anywhere better to get married. The staff were incredible and the grounds are stunning, we were also given a very reasonable price. This will stay with me forever and I cannot explain how blessed I feel to have had the day of my dreams at Upton.

A perfect day in a perfect setting!

We cannot fault the service that we were given from the initial enquiry through to our wedding day.  From the outset we were able to speak on the phone or email the staff at Upton house and we always got a speedy reply. On the day itself all the staff were so helpful and it all seemed quite seamless.  We had a perfect day in a perfect setting.  Thank you!

The day was relaxed and enjoyable, and went so smoothly. The staff were always checking to ensure we were happy and if there was anything else that could be done.  We couldn’t have imagined the day going any better.
