Nestled on 30 acres of woodland, The Upper Estate House is a distinctive country house wedding venue located in Derbyshire. Situated in the heart of the National Trust Kinder Estate, this 15th-century medieval estate provides a secluded and enchanting backdrop for your celebration. The venue offers the rare opportunity to host an exclusive wedding surrounded by the tranquillity of the countryside.
The Upper Estate House, originally a hunting lodge, seamlessly blends historical charm with contemporary elegance. Set against the quiet moorlands, this intimate wedding venue allows couples to enjoy the romance of a bygone era while savouring the comforts of modern restoration.
The Upper Estate opens its doors for an entire weekend of private hire, specialising in smaller weddings but accommodating celebrations with up to 130 attendees. For those desiring a luxurious, intimate affair, the house can host up to 30 guests for a stay. With four licensed spaces for civil ceremonies, couples can choose from the spectacular House and Hall indoors, the courtyard outdoors, or the Solstice Tower overlooking Kinder Reservoir.
The Upper Estate offers an all-inclusive stay with undivided attention and assistance from their dedicated staff. The venue provides two large bespoke tipis for a wedding feast on the grounds. Partnered with Vanilla In All Seasons for catering, couples can enjoy signature drinks and bespoke Kinder Cocktails from the fully stocked bar. The wine cellar, boasting over 75 wines, adds a touch of sophistication that can be pre-ordered for the celebration. To ensure every guest is taken care of, the venue provides an in-house mini-bus service from the local village of Hayfield. As a cherry on top, couples booking with The Upper Estate are assigned a personal wedding planner, offering four meetings during the lead-up to the wedding, including a delightful wine-tasting experience.
It’s a simply wonderful venue. We just celebrated our wedding at Upper House, Hayfield. Wonderful. Five stars just isn’t enough of an accolade. Stunning! Thank you to Georgia, Karen and all the staff for helping to make our wedding the best day of our lives.
On behalf of my new husband and me, I’d like to thank Georgia and Karen for making our wedding day the best of our lives! Their attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made the whole planning process seamless, simple, and such good fun, too! Their standards are impeccable, and nothing was too much to ask. Upper House, the most beautiful venue in the Peak District, will always have a special place in our hearts.
Thank you so much to the whole team at Upper House; we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment we first looked around to the very end of the night on our wedding day, Georgia and the team made us feel like royalty. Everything felt so personal to us, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The staff moved floral arrangements, ferried guests to and fro, and ensured the whole day ran perfectly without us even realising. I have lost count of how many guests came to us to say, “Wow, what a venue!” Thanks for making our special day spectacular.
Our Daughter’s Wedding Day, held at Upper House in Hayfield in February, was absolutely magical! Hence, we felt it really important to leave a testimonial, as we would love for other couples to know the magic of Upper House and experience such a perfectly beautiful Wedding Day.
Firstly, our sincere thanks, gratitude and love must go to our host, Georgia and her colleague, Karen! Having Georgia as our trusted, reliable, friendly host was like having our very own professional Wedding Planner! Georgia was quietly in control of everything and ensured that the day went like clockwork! No worries, concerns or hitches; with Georgia at the helm, we could confidently sit back, relax and fully enjoy our Daughter Helena and David’s perfect Day!
Set in glorious surroundings, Upper House is simply magical! Warm, welcoming and inviting, the scene was set! Stunning rooms, absolutely delicious food and wines! Excellent live music during the Wedding Ceremony and the Wedding Breakfast! An amazing MC who ensured everything went smoothly, and our fabulous DJ who made the evening so special. We had three fabulous, experienced Florists attend the wedding, and they said they had never seen such exquisite floral decorations; rightly so! The Great Hall was absolutely magical! Breathtakingly beautiful!
I wish we could do it all again! Thank you, Georgia! You are amazing! You are Upper House! Our sincere thanks, from Tricia, Bryan, Helena and David.
Due to the livestock surrounding the Estate, we do not permit fireworks.
We understand that dogs are a massive part of the family, so we allow your furry friends to be there for those all-important moments, such as the ceremony, reception drinks and pictures. Unfortunately, dogs aren't allowed to stay at the property due to allergies.
At Upper House, we dedicate the week before your wedding to you! With this in mind, we allow deliveries of your items, such as dresses/suits, table favours, table plans and so on, as early as the Thursday before your wedding on the Saturday!
