The Most Perfect Day!
We had the most perfect day at Stratton Court Barn celebrating our wedding. We got ready there in the morning and we were looked after. The bar was brilliant and our wedding co-ordinator, Zoë, was beyond perfect. She made everything happen behind the scenes, ensured everything ran to time and was generally a wonderful presence throughout. Everything flowed like a clockwork. We were supported every moment. We loved every minute of our wedding in such a beautiful venue with such a lovely team.

We knew Stratton Court Barn was for us!
We knew Stratton Court Barn was the wedding venue for us immediately. The staff were friendly, efficient, thorough and really took the time to get to know us before our big day, no question is silly and no request too big. Charlotte our wedding coordinator was truly incredible, our day really wouldn't have been as good as it was without her looking after us. The venue (buildings and the grounds) are truly breathtaking. A HUGE thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams! Photos: snrmac.com

We fell in love with Stratton Court Barn!
We fell in love with Stratton Court Barn...and it was the only venue we ended up viewing. We attended a couple of open days, which made us fall in love with the venue even more. Charlotte was our Wedding Coordinator and what an amazing job she did! From responding to questions via email, to tips of how to organise our decorations that we had to hand over, even last minute changes a few days before the wedding and even on the day. Everything ran so smoothly. Perfect! Photos: kjaphotography.co.uk

Just Perfect!
After really struggling to find a wedding venue we loved, it only took us 15 minutes to decide that we wanted to celebrate our wedding at Stratton Court Barn. It is the perfect size for a slightly more intimate wedding (55 day guests) but still has loads of space and different areas if you have more guests. The barn is absolutely gorgeous and the woods are so unique. From the beginning Karin was simply magical. She was there to answer any questions we had and guided us through the whole day!

The Perfect Day
When my now husband and I started planning our wedding, we decided that we wanted a relaxed venue, where we and our guests would feel comfortable and have an amazing time. We also discussed getting married in or near Stratton Audley, as our first home was in the village. Stratton Court Barn fitted the criteria, so we booked in for a visit. As soon as we arrived, it just felt right. Karin was so welcoming and helpful, and we went ahead and reserved our date. During the planning phase, Karin and J

Absolutely Stunning!
If you are reading reviews to decide whether to book here please just get it booked before someone else does. This venue is absolutely stunning. There are so many different areas which are beautiful. The ceremony room, the stables, the rose garden, the lake. The organisation is amazing. All of our guests commented on what a lovely place it was. Our chosen caterers (from a list of 6) was Lemon Zest who were also amazing. You will not regret booking here!

Perfect for Our Intimate wedding
From our first visit to the venue we knew it would be perfect for our intimate wedding, and we were not disappointed! Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were responsive to all of our queries.One of the reasons we chose this venue was for the woodland ceremony space and luckily the weather was kind to us and we were able to go ahead with it - so many comments from guests about how magical the surroundings were. Can't thank the team enough for making our wedding so amazing and memorable.

Wonderful Ferne Wood
My husband and I only viewed one venue and that was Stratton Court Barn, we feel in love with it immediately! We chose to get married in the wonderful Ferne Wood. The Byre is stunning - it was the most perfect setting. Charlotte was absolutely amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Her enthusiasm was incredible! She is an absolute credit to SCB! We would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone! Thank you so much for making our day perfect! Photos: thetaylorsfilmandphoto.com

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Stratton Court Barn?

Vicky and Chris' wedding was an absolute cracker! Vicky described herself as "colour phobic and impossible to please". But contrary to her bold statement, we set to work on making the day exactly what she wanted. The barn looked incredible with lots of green foliage, black chalkboard notes and festoon lighting inside and out. Oversized white balloons matched the festoon bulbs, and created space on the tables for a sharing-platter-style three course meal. The weather played nice, so after the ceremony, all guests enjoyed drinks in the courtyard while Chris and Vicky had some amazing photos taken in the Rose Garden and Ferne Wood. As the sun set, the fire pit was lit for toasting marshmallows and the street food vans turned up. And this is when the bucking bronco came to full use! Eventually the great DJ got people back in the barn for a dance off, followed by a full dance floor until the very end of the night.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Don't book your civil ceremony too early in the day. Trying to keep your guests entertained for 13 hours, and then expect them to party till the very end, can be really hard! (2pm is a perfect time for a civil ceremony)

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

Personalised menus, in a unique font created for that particular wedding, with thank-yous and talking points covered in one go.

Describe Stratton Court Barn in 5 adjectives

Flexible. Fun. Informal. Modern. Bespoke.

Where’s the best photo spot at Stratton Court Barn?

Less traditional: the driveway - it's stunning! More traditional: the rose garden.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at Stratton Court Barn?

We've had F1 drivers, Channel 4 TV personality, BBC TV Personality, GBBO winner and Morgan Freeman attend events at the venue.

What’s your favourite canapé?

The most classic of canapés: smoked salmon blini (please don't call us boring!)

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Wood fired pizza, straight from the oven.

What is Stratton Court Barn most unique feature?

An on-site, authentic forest rally course. We can book passenger rides for your guests during the drinks reception! (Needless to say perhaps, but unless specifically requested, the rally cars will not be running on your wedding day!)

What part of your business are you most proud of?

We care. We truly care about you, your day, and your plans. Yes, our barn is gorgeous, and yes, our outdoor spaces are amazing, but it's our dedication to your day that sets us apart. We love planning your wedding with you!
