Description

Your Dream English Wedding in the Heart of the Cotswolds

Imagine saying “I do” at Stanway House, a stunning Jacobean manor nestled in the picturesque Cotswolds. Built from warm Guiting Yellow stone, this historic estate blends timeless architecture with the peaceful charm of the English countryside. One of its most breathtaking features is the water garden, home to Britain’s tallest single-jet fountain, shooting over 300 feet into the sky—a truly unforgettable sight for your special day. With only a few weddings hosted each year, Stanway House offers an exclusive, intimate experience where every detail receives expert attention.

The Tithe Barn: A Unique and Historic Reception Venue

Celebrate your reception in the magnificent 14th-century Stanway Tithe Barn. This medieval stone building, complete with original features and a concert-ready stage, creates a grand and atmospheric setting for your party. Offered on a dry hire basis, you have the freedom to choose your own suppliers and design a day that perfectly reflects your style. The expansive grounds around the barn are ideal for catering tents, outdoor seating, and lawn games—all set beside a charming duck pond and classic yellow stone cottages.

Ceremonies and Celebrations Tailored to You

If a traditional church ceremony is your dream, the estate’s historic church is right on site. After your vows, you and your guests can stroll through the jewel-like gatehouse to the manor and Tithe Barn for your reception. While the barn itself isn’t licensed for civil ceremonies, the nearby church offers a beautiful and convenient option. Plus, the stunning house and gatehouse provide perfect backdrops for your wedding photos.

Hidden gemHidden gem
“If you are looking for a venue that is naturally stunning but offers total flexibility, Stanway Barn is it. It’s a hidden gem where you can do as little or as much as you want to make the space your own. For us, the building did all the talking; its raw, earthy aesthetic and rich history created a phenomenal atmosphere. It has such a warm soul for a historic building. It was the perfect setting for our guests and us to celebrate , and we feel so lucky to have started our marriage here.”“If you are looking for a venue that is naturally stunning but offers total flexibility, Stanway Barn is it.

My husband and I chose Stanway Barn for our wedding on 1st June 2024, and it was the best decision we made. We planned our wedding over 12 months and were in regular communication with the team throughout. They were always helpful and responsive, and nothing ever felt like too much to ask, which made the planning process run smoothly. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and provide the most stunning backdrop for photos — it truly feels like a fairytale setting.My husband and I chose Stanway Barn for our wedding on 1st June 2024, and it was the best decision we made.

Memorable event Memorable event
We visited Stanway House in Sept 2011 for our nieces wedding. The front lawns, with small lake are the location of an ancient barn, which is rented out for wedding parties. What a great venue, caterers, bar and band etc were laid on and a perfect backdrop for the photo shoot, superb gardens and the worlds tallest gravity fountain. A very memorable event made even better by a visit by his lordship popping in to personally congratulate the couple.We visited Stanway House in Sept 2011 for our nieces wedding.

A visit to treasure!A visit to treasure!
The house is lovely, very calm with some good examples of classic furniture and William Morris wallpaper. The grounds were particularly welcoming on this very hot day (lots of shade) and the fountain impressive. Lots of children enjoying playing in the spray. We enjoyed seeing the watermill at work...sitting out by the pond adjacent to the tithe barn.

Very welcoming Very welcoming
I found it a very welcoming, informal place where well behaved dogs on leads are allowed inside the House. Original William Morris wallpaper still graces the walls as well as stunningly intricate marquetry furniture. I especially liked the portraits by Romney. Also on the site is a medieval tithe barn, a working flour mill and the famous single jet fountain that is put on display twice in the afternoon.I found it a very welcoming, informal place where well behaved dogs on leads are allowed inside the House.
