    The Perfect Venue

    We booked Stratton Court Barn in November 2021 and had our wonderful wedding there on 7 October 2023.

    From the first visit we knew it was the perfect venue! We were looking for a barn venue that felt intimate, beautiful, relaxed and warm and it ticked all these boxes and more. Karin was there from day one up until our actual day (and after lol), answering all our questions, giving ideas, solving any problems before we even knew they had happened. We were so impressed how super organised she is but also how she really cared. We hadn't felt this from the other venues we had visited.

    I could honestly talk all day about how amazing this venue is and still not do it justice, but some of the things that really stood out for us were;
    - Karin is the USP, she honestly will look after you from day one and always be there to help
    - All the staff were very friendly, professional and helpful, we didn't have to worry about anything before or on the day. They knew exactly what to do and when
    - The beauty of the whole venue, there are so many places for guests to relax and enjoy and also photo opportunities. There is the courtyard, rose garden, field, lake, cottage. There is something to meet everyone's wishes
    - The fact you can have the venue all day to yourselves with your wedding party
    - How they catered for our rescue dog to be involved and allowed us to visit before so she wouldn't be so anxious on the day. This also was what helped us know it was the venue for us
    - They work with your suppliers to make sure everything runs effortlessly before and on the day
    - We hired the fire pit and lawn games which were fun for all the guests and gave it that cozy feel, like a family party
    - The cottage is wonderful to stay the night and was the perfect way to end our perfect day. We sat talking for hours after feeling very relaxed and at home. Breakfast was also amazing!
    - How easily accessible it is, we had guests from North and South and everyone came. Lots of free parking and local hotels to stay in. Advice on prebooking taxis from Karin was also very helpful so all guests got home safely
    - We went to nearly every open day before the wedding as this helped us plan and make everything real. We could try menus, plan decor, seating etc and also we met quite a few of our suppliers either at the open day or found them through SCB Instagram. They have wonderful relationships with everyone who works with them that makes planning so much easier!
    - Finally all our guests commented on how perfect a venue it was and what a wonderful time they had

    As soon as we picked our venue everything else seem to fall in place and that was largely due to SCB, especially Karin. Thank you to everyone who works there for caring so much about making the day perfect, we couldn't have done it without you and wouldn't have picked anywhere else. It was a day we will never forget :)
    Love Kim & Dean xxx

    Stratton Court Barn's reply:

    Darling Kim!! Honestly, this is the loveliest thing I've read ever, and you've now idea how much this fills my heart with pure joy and makes me want to do cartwheels around the barn while also crying a little. Because, well, I no longer have a reason to write "Kim popping over with Koda" in the diary ...and all the other little things that meant we had your wedding to look forward to. I can't, won't, quite believe we're at the end of our wedding planning journey. Please, PLEASE, stay in touch and please let me know whenever you want to pop back in to say hello to us all again! Maybe at the next Open Day...?! 😉💚 All my love, Karin xxxxxx

    I can’t recommend enough

    Where do we even start?

    This venue was beyond our wildest dreams. It had everything you need for a perfect wedding day, and our guests couldn’t believe its beauty.

    Karin is without a shadow of a doubt incredible, she answers every single little question, knowing the answer straight away. Her love for the venue makes you want to get married there and then, every open day is flawless and she has the nicest way with people.

    Jess was our wedding manager for our perfect day, and it wouldn’t have been perfect without her. Jess went above and beyond the entire day, she fluffed my dress, pinned my dress, set up our decorations better than I ever thought, seamlessly went from ceremony to wedding breakfast without even knowing she was doing it, played with my son, looked out for my son repeatedly (and made friends with him!!) and was my guardian angel all day. Nothing was too much for her, she guided me the whole day, made sure my guests were happy, the list is endless. I will forever be grateful for Jess, for making our day absolutely beautiful and special.

    I can’t rave them enough, if you are thinking of booking them, do it. The pair are absolutely amazing and they make the venue even more special.

    Thank you to you both, we had the most perfect day and it wouldn’t have been that way without either of you.

    Love Mr and Mrs Hayward xx

    Stratton Court Barn's reply:

    Darling Hannah! You keep making us cry! Happy tears are streaming down our faces as we read your incredible review. We could not adore you more! Kimberley's sneak peeks have been so wonderful to see, and we keep saying how you've put such massive smiles on our faces and energy in our steps as we move into autumn. Please don't become a stranger - stay in our lives forever! All our love, Karin and Jess xxx

    The perfect venue

    This is the perfect venue. Nothing is too much for Karin and her team. Since the moment we booked Stratton it has been perfect. On the day there was nothing to worry about as it was all taken care of! Wish we could do it again

    Stratton Court Barn's reply:

    Dearest Michael and Elizabeth, Thank you so much for choosing to celebrate at Stratton Court Barn! It was a dream being part of your day (the flowers, the food, Elizabeth's INCREDIBLE dress, and not least your super lovely guests!) it was everything that we love seeing and so grateful we get to be part of! I'm stalking your photographer every day now in the hope of seeing photos so we can re-live the day again! Much love, Karin

    Speechless!!!

    No words can describe how beautiful and perfect this venue is. Karin the wedding manager is a literal queen at the venue, the most organised person you will ever meet, Karin was quick to reply to any questions I had and nothing was too much trouble. She is the perfect person to help plan a wedding!
    The venue is something else, from the fairy lights, to the cottage feel, makes this venue ideal for someone wanting a barn wedding with a vintagey/boho vibe. And an added bonus is the venue is dog friendly!! It was everything we wanted and more!!! We wish we could do it all over again…if you’re thinking of booking here, then do it and you’ll have no regrets! Thank you so much Karin and Stratton Court Barn

    Stratton Court Barn's reply:

    Darling Jade! Thank you so much for your amazing review! It makes us so happy and so grateful! It was so much fun having you - and gorgeous Benjy! - here. He was so perfect, just like his owners. (And you're still blowing up our Instagram a week later - the whole world is loving your wedding day, not just us, haha!) Thank you so, so much for choosing to celebrate your wedding here! Much love, Karin xx

    Best venue ever!

    Our wedding day at Stratton Court Barn was absolutely perfect in every way. From the initial planning stages to the actual day, everything went incredibly smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    Karin, the event manager at the venue, was simply amazing. She was incredibly supportive and helpful throughout the entire process, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Her expertise and attention to detail made us feel confident and at ease, knowing that our special day was in capable hands.

    The venue itself is truly beautiful. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by its charm and elegance. Everywhere you looked, there was something stunning. One of the highlights for us was having our ceremony in the gorgeous woods. The soft, dappled sunlight created a magical atmosphere, and it was an incredibly picturesque setting.

    The barns at Stratton Court are equally impressive. They are thoughtfully designed and well laid out, providing the perfect space for a wedding celebration. We particularly loved the courtyard, which was ideal for our summer wedding. It added an extra touch of charm and allowed our guests to enjoy the beautiful weather and the firepit!

    On the day of our wedding, Karin truly went above and beyond. She ensured that everything ran seamlessly, taking care of every little detail so that my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. Her dedication and professionalism were evident throughout the entire day, and we felt so relaxed and well taken care of.

    We were fortunate enough to stay in the cottage on the night of our wedding, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The accommodations were comfortable and luxurious, allowing us to enjoy the breathtaking views as we savored a peaceful morning coffee. It was the perfect way to start our new journey as a married couple.

    Overall, we can't recommend Stratton Court Barn enough. It exceeded our expectations in every aspect, and we would urge anyone looking for a wedding venue to choose Stratton Court Barn. From the stunning location to the outstanding service provided by Karin, everything was absolutely flawless. It truly was the wedding of our dreams.

    Stratton Court Barn's reply:

    SOFI!!! Where do I even start?! I've read your gorgeous, kind, beautiful words several times over now and the happy tears just keep coming! Your wedding was EVERYTHING. And more. And I'm so happy I got to play a small role in your wedding and be part of something so utterly fantastic... Rachael (Wild Rose) and I were reminiscing just today and saying we want to do your wedding over and over and over again. And I love that you've referred to Scott here as your husband. Eeeek! Hot damn, it's so real, you're so very married now and I can't wait to hear all the amazing adventures and plans and escapades that you'll take on and experience together as husband & wife. All my love and more /Karin xx

    Beautiful setting

    Loved this venue so much on first site that we didn't even go and view any others! Setting is beautiful, everything that could be needed is there and Karin is so helpful and clearly loves to help make your day everything you hoped for!

    Stratton Court Barn's reply:

    Oh Katherine, we absolutely LOVED being part of your wedding!! Your vibe was everything we could ask for, with the visit from beautiful Fleur being the icing on the cake (I'm just sorry I didn't have time for more pats and cuddles, haha!). Thank you so much for choosing to get ready here, and please come back and visit us whenever you fancy (perhaps to walk Fleur?!) Much love, Karin xx
