Upton House is a restored manor within Upton Country Park, combining historic interiors with parkland and a seasonal Walled Garden marquee option. The official wedding information describes ceremonies and wedding breakfasts for up to 70 guests inside the house, evening receptions up to 150 and much larger marquee celebrations up to 500. Couples should confirm which capacity applies to their chosen rooms and layout.

The house can host the legal ceremony and reception, while the Walled Garden format is available only in selected months. That range makes Upton House suitable for both smaller country-house weddings and larger outdoor-led celebrations, but the supplier, parking and weather arrangements differ significantly between formats. The venue team should confirm access times, furniture, catering, bar arrangements and the wet-weather plan in writing.

The official site publishes several reception-only prices for 2026 and 2027, including options with and without parking. Acre records each price separately so a parking-inclusive figure is not presented as a universal fee. Registrar, catering and drinks remain outside the listed reception hire unless specifically included in a quotation. For a marquee celebration, ask how the garden hire and indoor backup fit together on your chosen date.
