Being based just minutes away means I already know:
✔ The venue layout
✔ The designated pickup and drop-off area

Typical Wedding Transport at Upton Barn
Having helped with many weddings at Upton Barn & Walled Garden, I've found that the simplest transport plans are often the most successful.
Rather than everyone arranging separate taxis, I can help coordinate journeys around your wedding timetable, passenger numbers and accommodation.
Everything is planned in advance, so you and your guests can concentrate on enjoying the celebration.
Evening Returns
Pre-arranged evening collection times with several return journeys towards the end of the night for total peace of mind.
Flexible Departures
Earlier departures for elderly guests, families or those ready to leave at scheduled intervals throughout the celebration.
Many Upton Barn guests stay in nearby accommodation around Cullompton, Willand and the surrounding area.
With up to six passengers per journey, timed shuttles can work particularly well for evening returns, grouping guests by accommodation or destination and avoiding the need to arrange separate taxis.

“I cannot recommend Nick and Devon Transfers highly enough! Nick helped with all of the transfers to and from my wedding at Upton Barn & Walled Garden and every step of the process was fantastic.
He helped organise the timings, checked the routes the day before the wedding and recommended a smoother, more comfortable route for the bridal party to help the journey feel as relaxed as possible.
On the day he arrived early to ensure everything stayed calm and stress free — honestly everyone in our wedding party raved about him.”

“We recently used Nick to shuttle guests for our wedding at Upton Barn in Cullompton.
Outstanding service from to start to finish, I text Nick late one evening and received a reply very swiftly and within less than an hour everything was arranged.
Nick took all the stress away from myself and my new wife and all of our guests, he was on time and everyone spoke very highly of him, said he was polite and his car was extremely clean!
If you are needing a taxi company local to Cullompton or the surrounding area then don’t waste your time looking to book anyone else because Devon Transfers is the only company you need.”
