The most magical fairytale Day
We had our wedding at The Upper House on 30th September 2023. It is an absolutely stunning venue. The team were always helpful and quick to respond to any questions during our planning stage On our day, Ellie and the team were absolutely fantastic and our day was magical and totally delivered 100% on our vision for our day . We couldn’t fault any level of service Nothing was an issue to ensure our day was perfect. The venue looked beautiful, food was outstanding. Our guests who were gluten free commented on how fantastic the food offering was with one parent absolutely delighted that for a change their gluten intolerant daughter could have what she wanted off the evening buffet. We could not have chosen a more perfect venue🥰

We held our wedding ceremony and reception here and everything was perfect. The staff were all welcoming and friendly especially the Wedding Team, nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely fantastic and all our guests commented on how lovely it was. The hotel itself is a stunning place and the views are amazing, the idyllic venue and backdrop for fantastic photographs which our photographer was able to capture. To everyone at Upper House you did us proud our wedding day was perfect from start to finish and we will definitely return for an anniversary in the future. Thank you so much.

Wow where to start! Got married here on Saturday 9th September. Our wedding coordinator Sam was awesome from start to finish. Nothing and we mean nothing was too much trouble for her. Every email that I sent was acknowledged and answered to put our minds at ease. The venue blew me away, the girls dressed it and it looked perfect! Sam and her team could not have done enough for us making sure that every attention to detail was met. Their efficient service during our meal went above and beyond! The food was outstanding. We literally could not fault a thing and our day was the best day ever from start to finish. I have to say though that Sam is an absolute asset to the upper house and I hope they realise what a credit she is to their wedding business because she worked so so hard to give us that amazing day. Don't think about booking your wedding here just do it we promise you will not be disappointed xx Perfect venue with a perfect wedding team! Thank you all so much!

We got married her in July and all I can say is it was perfect. From start to finish everything was as we dreamed of. Sam and the girls did an amazing job and made the day so relaxing. We managed to get married outside which was perfect and the food was top quality. The room was dressed to perfection to. Everyone commented on it being one of the best weddings they had been to and what a top location.

Putting in words how I feel about this venue and it's team is hard. On the 14.04.17 we married here and had the best day imaginable. As the team would tell you , I like everything to be perfect and they did not disappoint. Friendly, caring, hard working and approachable; meeting Sam was lovely. She listened, worked on what we asked and nothing was to big or small. Our meetings were brilliant, she replied to emails and was always at the end of the phone. Everything that I had asked for, was delivered to the best quality and detail. The care and attention did not stop there.... On the day itself Amy Sam and the team were there to great me as I arrived and had lovely words to say before I walked down the aisle. (Something which means a lot to a very nervous bride). The food was stunning, rooms amazing and venue dressed by the best. I am really grateful for all that was done to make our day so excellent. It is easy to write a review for such an amazing venue with an even better Wedding team. Mr and Mrs Bloor!
