Your Day. Your Way.
Here at Stratton Court Barn we offer you a traditional converted barn, originally built in Cotswold stone in 1872. We pride ourselves on providing a relaxed atmosphere, with an informal approach, to help you really enjoy your day. We believe that your wedding day should reflect you, as a couple, so we are open to any ideas you might have in terms of theming, decoration and schedule of events.
The barn consists of an entry hallway with flagstone flooring. To the left of the reception area is the dining room. The dining room seats 80 with a long top table and seven round tables. We can seat 90 guests by using nine round tables only. To the right of the entry hallway is our evening reception room. This room is perfect for your DJ or band to set up. This is also where you will find the bar.
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. Drinks are purchased through us. You can either choose a package or make specific requirements. We're so happy to build the day around you!
Outside the barn you will find a lovely lawn area (hello, lawn games!). A sunny courtyard with a beautiful outside bar. Our rose garden is a must for photos, and the driveway is the best place to enjoy spectacular sunset photos.

Dear couples,
Congratulations on your engagement! I would so love to hear how the proposal happened and also see what the ring looks like... Not just because each story is unique and wonderful, but this tends to set the theme for your wedding. At Stratton Court Barn we want every wedding to be as special and as one-off as you are. So please come and see me, and we can discuss your requirements in more detail!
Warmest wishes,
Karin

- SSarah and Chris19/12/2019Such a beautiful day!Such a beautiful day!We could not have asked for more from Karin and her team at Stratton Court Barn! This was the first venue we visited and we drove away having that gut feeling that this was the perfect place for our wedding. Everything from our initial visits, consistently helpful and supportive email exchanges, to the run up of the final few weeks confirmed for us that we made the right choice. Karin was unfailingly helpful, cheerful and encouraging, and has an amazing knowledge of a brilliant range of local suppliers. Planning a wedding and the lead up to the day can be stressful, but everything was made so much easier as we had complete faith in Karin and the day itself flowed perfectly. The venue itself is the perfect balance of relaxed and beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous countryside. It worked so well to have our 60 guests gather together in this warm, bright and welcoming setting. We had the most perfect day and would thoroughly recommend Stratton Court to any couple for their special day!We could not have asked for more from Karin and her team at Stratton Court Barn!

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
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 the hay bales scattered outside, deck chairs and lawn area while Chris and Vicky had some amazing photos taken in the garden. 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 your venue in 5 adjectives.
Flexible. Fun. Informal. Rustic. Bespoke.
Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?
Less traditional: the driveway - it's stunning! More traditional: the rose garden.
Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?
We've had an F1 driver, Channel 4 TV personality and Morgan Freeman attend events at the venue.
What’s your favourite canapé?
Smoked salmon blini.
What’s your favourite midnight treat?
Wood fired pizza, straight from the oven.
What is your venue's 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 can create unique events, as bespoke as every couple.
