Great Venue and Amazing Staff!
Upper Shirley is a stunning wedding venue! The views are amazing! The inside and outside are so spacious. The decks and patio are lovely for cocktail hour, and the reception space is great for large parties! Kevin and his team are amazing and had the entire wedding running smoothly. I can't say nicer things about Upper Shirley!
