Combining historic charm with modern amenities, The Upchurch offers a versatile space for weddings. The venue features elegant interiors and beautiful outdoor spaces, providing a sophisticated backdrop for any celebration. Personalized service ensures a unique and unforgettable wedding.

The Upchurch was the best venue to get married at. It all started with the tour with Hannah. She was ready to answer any and all questions we had about the wedding day. She was very down to earth and hilarious to help ease our nerves as we started the wedding planning process. Throughout our planning period, Hannah and Cara were very responsive and helpful to coordinate all the details. We were thrilled with the venue itself. It was naturally beautiful and well manicured. We liked the flexibility of using both the indoor and outdoor spaces. The conservatory was a great spot for both our ceremony and reception, and we loved having cocktail hour at the house while they prepped for the reception. We are so happy with our choice to get married at the Upchurch!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married at Whiskey Kitchen in November 2021. They did an amazing job! The food was amazing. Having the entire whisky bar open was a hit for our guests who are normally used to a small selection of drinks at most other weddings. They already have tables & chairs available to use and moved them around between our ceremony and reception. There is plenty of space for a live band and dancing. We're so happy we asked if they hosted weddings! We would highly recommend using them as your wedding venue.
