Description

Stratton Court Barn is an exclusive use wedding venue and every celebration here is completely bespoke, offering you the chance to celebrate in the most personal way. Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony and fine-dining experience with your closest friends and family or raising the roof with a large and lavish celebration, a wedding at Stratton Court Barn is a truly exceptional experience.

Licensed indoor, outdoor and woodland wedding ceremony spaces offer numerous options for your ‘I do’ moment along with exquisite interior design and landscaped grounds, we work with you to create those unforgettable happy memories that will last a lifetime.

The Main Barn is beautifully intimate, ideal for exchanging your vows. Built in 1872, it retains many of its original features, including oak beams, a vaulted ceiling, and a striking traditional stone structure, all of which lend a timeless charm to the setting - plus views over the breathtaking countryside. The barn's high ceilings and focal point arch create a stunning backdrop for ceremonies, blending classic elegance with modern touches.

The Byre, once a cowshed, has been beautifully transformed into a stunning barn space with a touch of industrial charm. Above the Original Cotswold stone sits our reclaimed oak ceiling, imported from Italy, which adds warmth and elegance, industrial ironwork which is complemented by three vintage French chandeliers. The room’s focal point is a striking fireplace, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere. With an abundance of natural light, The Byre offers versatility for hosting your wedding ceremony and dining. Whether you choose round or rustic long tables, this space effortlessly blends rustic charm with modern sophistication. 

The venue is licensed to hold civil ceremonies indoors, in the Main Barn or The Byre, and outdoors in Ferne Wood, The Courtyard or the Rose Garden. For the ceremonies our Main Barn can host up to 90 seated guests and The Byre up to 130 seated guests, with capacity up to 175 for the evening reception.

Gorgeous Granary cottage is available to stay in on the night of your wedding. The cottage interior matches the classic yet contemporary style of the barn with flagstone floors, wood burning stove, two bedrooms with luxurious double beds, and a wet room stocked with The White Company products.

The Hayloft wedding preparation room, designed in farmhouse-luxe style is the perfect place to get ready on the morning of your wedding from 8.30am. Airy and comfortable, with designer furniture and decor, full length mirrors, phone chargers and private en suite bathroom, it’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy time with those closest to you while the anticipation builds

Food is at the heart of every wedding, and we are passionate about delicious food that’s prepared using locally sourced and exceptional quality produce. We have six wonderful approved caterers to choose from, each specialising in their own unique field, to ensure you have exactly the type of food you wish to have on your day.

We are proud to offer an outstanding selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and packages. From sparkling wines, to cocktails, presse, spirits, local beers (including Hawkstone), plus our local gins Cotswolds and TOAD, our fully stocked bar will perfectly compliment your day. Outside the barn you will find a lovely lawn area (hello, lawn games!), landscaped courtyard with a beautiful outside bar and fire pit. Our Rose Garden, woodlands, driveway and grounds make for spectacular photo opportunities.

We held an event at Stratton Court Barn at the end of January. The venue is beautiful and was made to look very atmospheric. The event was fantastic and the staff made it such a special evening. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend it. Thank you Team SCB!

The most perfect setting for our wedding.

Stratton Court Barn was the most perfect setting for our wedding reception. It has a relaxed countryside feel with great facilities and fantastic photo opportunities. We had just over 60 daytime guests and more in the evening and the venue accommodated this number perfectly. It felt intimate and all our guests commented on how beautiful the venue and setting was. We are so happy that we chose Stratton Court Barn for our wedding.

A truly stunning venue.

Stratton Court Barn is a truly stunning venue. The barn is beautifully restored and has a rustic charm that is perfect for a relaxed and intimate celebration. The grounds are lovely, plenty of space for guests to wander around. The staff at Stratton Court Barn are incredibly friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for a better team to work with. The food at Stratton Court Barn was also amazing. The service was impeccable and our guests were all very impressed.

Fabulous venue for a wedding

What a fab venue for a wedding! We knew this was where we wanted to get married, nothing was too much trouble. We hired the hayloft and stables for getting ready the morning. The barn was perfect for the ceremony and the wedding meal. We had disabled guests who were looked after so well. The bar staff were excellent and catered for every need. Everyone at the Barn made sure that our day ran like clockwork enabling us to relax and enjoy our perfect day. I would recommend SCB to everyone 100%!

The wedding of our dreams

Our original venue went into liquidation but that was the best thing as it led us to SCB and the wedding of our dreams. We contacted the venue only 4 months before the wedding and received a caring response from Charlotte offering to accommodate us. We have always dreamt of getting married outdoors so Ferne wood was perfect. The barn really captured our hearts. Stratton Court Barn was the perfect venue and we couldn't be more thankful!

Outstanding Venue

Stratton Court Barn is an outstanding venue for a wedding. We had ours in early August and it was absolutely fantastic. The attention to detail in making the venue look clean and well-polished is incredible. Charlotte was absolutely fantastic in helping us to prepare before the wedding and also during the day to ensure things ran smoothly. She's a real asset to Stratton Court Barn. We would highly recommend to any couples looking for a wedding venue.

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.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our 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!
