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.

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.

This venue is truly stunning

I honestly cannot stress enough how beautiful this venue is and how amazing the staff are. From the day we went to view the venue (and fell in love the second we drive down the drive) to the moment we left the day after our wedding the staff were always on hand for anything we needed. This venue is truly stunning and has so many different places for gorgeous photos. Thank you again Tim and Deana for allowing us to get married at your amazing venue.

The team are amazing

We recently had our wedding at The Oak Barn and it was the perfect place. The barn and surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the fact you can spend the whole weekend there really makes the wedding feel special with plenty of time to set up and relax. The team are amazing, really supportive in the run up and during the weekend and ready to help with whatever might arise! Thank you for the best weekend ever.

We both fell in love with the place

From the moment we arrived at the barn, we both fell in love with the place, and now we hold so much love and so many memories we will cherish forever at The Oak Barn. A massive thank you to Chrystelle for being amazing throughout the process and making it as stress-free as possible, so many people on the wedding day, including all of my suppliers was saying how amazing she was. Our guest commented on how stunning the venue was and that they had never been anywhere like it.

Just the most magical place

Thank you so much again for our incredible weekend, we are still on a high and just want to do it all again. From walking into the Venue on our first viewing we knew it was the place for us. We just feel so lucky to have been able to get married at the Oak Barn. It's without question a stunning venue, but you've thought of everything and made us feel so comfortable. The team (especial Chrystelle) focus is always to make it the most perfect time for us. Thank you so, so much.

Just a the perfect feel for our wedding

No where else compares. The views & sheep, the beautiful barn & The Byre with a choice of indoor or outdoor ceremonies, the Weaver’s Cottages for our guests to stay – It was just a the perfect feel for our wedding. They provided a list of recommended suppliers who have worked (& are trusted) at their venue, the were very helpful in the run up and on the actual day. Huge thank you to Tim, Deana, Chrystelle, Tembo & all the behind the scenes team for making our day so special.
