Description

Heritage, character and rural beauty all combine in perfect harmony at The Oak Barn. Nestled in an idyllic valley in the heart of Kent's High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, every detail of this exclusive Grade II listed venue has been designed to make the perfect setting for your special day. Frame Farm has a series of stunning buildings dating from 1607 which include three reception barns, The Oak Barn, The Byre and the Pole Barn, as well as six luxurious Weaver's Cottages for you and your guests. The awe-inspiring Oak Barn has a magnificent high vaulted roof, glass frontage overlooking the courtyard, hidden state of the art technology, underfloor heating and a cosy wood burning stove; every modern convenience in a breathtaking old threshing barn yet with an intimate feel. With classic elegance and tranquil views, The Byre offers a graceful space perfectly suited for ceremonies or more intimate receptions, or it can be transformed into an entertainment room for the children. The romantic terrace, waterfall and lily pond are a wildlife haven and perfect for a celebratory toast or photographs. The Pole Barn, our large open fronted barn offers a more rustic style and comes complete with fairy lights and power. Used as our wood store and home to a working 1956 Fordson Major tractor, the chopped wood, original oak door from The Oak Barn and rusty decorative screens make this another unique location for nuptial vows, photographs and games within our farmyard. And at the end of your wonderful day, curl up and enjoy a celebratory glass of bubbles with your spouse in our sumptuous Wedding Cottage. With views across the surrounding sheep pasture, you will love the magic of this romantic rural setting whatever the season.

What a perfect venue

We couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue! From the moment we looked around the barn, we knew it was the place for us. Having 3 barns meant we were able to keep our guests entertained in beautiful spaces. Being able to personalise it to how we wanted it made it extra special for us. The open fields, waterfall and sheep meant we got some amazing photos. The accommodation on site was an added bonus. Being environmentally focused also aligned with our values. Thank you for the happiest day!

The best choice we made

The best choice we made was having our wedding at the oak barn frame farm! Not only is the space gorgeous, but it's eco friendly, has lots of different options, and they have beautiful cottages for family and close friends to stay close and the option to spend the whole weekend at the farm! It was exactly what we were looking for! And the best part was the support! Chrystelle was amazing. Couldn't recommend this place more! If you're looking for a country wedding, you've found your place!

Thank you for everything

Now we're back home, we just wanted to send a quick note to say a huge, massive thank you to the whole team at The Oak Barn for helping us make our day so magical. The venue is of course beautiful, and all of our guests said as much. It was exactly what we hoped it would be. We had such an amazing day, and so appreciate all the help and support from you and the team. Thank you again for everything.

Our Epic Wedding

We have had the most wonderful time here. Thank you all for your contributing to our epic wedding. It was great being able to stay from Friday till Sunday, which made us all feel way more relaxed than trying to do everything in one day! The three barns are wonderful each with its own unique charm and thing to offer. The cottages were beautifully set out and offered us and our wedding party top end accommodation. All the love.

The perfect venue

We had our wedding in October 2024 at the Oak Barn Frame Farm and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue! From the moment we looked around the barn, we both knew it was the place for us. Having 3 barns meant we were able to keep our 50 guests entertained and still have beautiful spaces. We weren’t sure what to expect with dry-hire, but the barn is so beautiful it could be kept minimal if you’re on a budget, but being able to personalise it to how we wanted it made it extra special for us. The open fields, waterfall and sheep meant we got some amazing photos (from our photographer Matt Birchall) as well as the best memories. Chrystelle couldn’t have been more helpful, from her communication in planning, to the materials provided in the run up to the wedding, and her excellent organisation on the day meaning our wedding ran seamlessly and we didn’t have to worry about anything. The list of trusted suppliers was great too, and we used quite a few who were also great. The accommodation on site was an added bonus for us and family, and all of our friends and family commented on what a perfect venue we’d chosen. Being environmentally focused was also a huge bonus for us, as it really aligned with our values. Thank you to all at the Oak Barn for giving us the happiest day!

We had the most perfect day

It was an absolute joy to have our wedding at the oak barn - we had the most perfect day! The team were so responsive and helpful throughout the process. The spaces were beautiful and a perfect balance of indoor and outdoor. We had so many compliments on the venue throughout the day. The accommodation was spotless and felt so luxurious. It was fab for all our nearest and dearest to be so close and turned it from a day to a weekend of celebrations! Thank you so much for making it so special.

Superb experience, organisation and foresight.

We didn’t think The Oak Barn could look any more glorious than the day we looked round a year ago but we were wrong! So many guests have spoken to us or messaged to say what an incredible venue for the reception and as expected you put on an amazing day for us. It all runs so smoothly but that is down to your superb experience, organisation and foresight. We also loved the accommodation on site - made the weekend so comfortable for the party.

We couldn't have done it without you

Thank you so much to the whole team at The Oak Barn for making our wedding day the most wonderful and perfect day. We were thrilled with how the whole day went and the Barn was the perfect venue. The day ran so smoothly and no doubt that is a reflection of the whole teams hard work! A special mention to Chrystelle for all of your help through the planning process and dealing with me being a bit stressed about the weather on the Friday!! We couldn't have done it without you.
