Perfect venue for a perfect day

The venue is spectacular. The staff are truly awesome - from the planning team for the 18 months running up to the day, to the wait staff and bar staff on the day. Pretty much every guest commented that they’d had the best food they’ve ever had at any wedding. The supplier recommendations couldn’t have been better. Absolutely faultless.

Truly magical!

This has been the most fantastic experience from start to finish. The staff at the Stone Barn explained the process clearly from the beginning and were always quick to answer any of our questions.
The day itself was truly wonderful and they made us feel relaxed and comfortable, as well as going out of their way to make the day so special for us. All of our guests commented on how warm and professional the all of the staff were, and the food was incredible!
I can't thank Georgie and Jasmine and all of the staff at Stone Barn enough for the most wonderful day of my life... It has given us memories we will treasure forever!

Perfect Wedding Venue

Stone Barn was the most perfect venue we could have ever dreamed of hosting our wedding at! We were looked after by the wonderful staff from the moment we enquired to look around, and they ensured our special day went off without a hitch (well, only one hitch!) We had 110 guests and the space was absolutely perfect for it. We received endless compliments on the food - it was classy, delicious, hearty and the perfect sustenance for a massive party! The cocktails were equally special and popular. We had beautiful weather, but we weren't worried as we knew the venue was suited to any eventuality. Stone Barn is perfect for a highly memorable occasion.

Simply Amazing!

We can't thank Angie, Jasmine and the whole team at Stone Barn enough. We truly had an amazing wedding day with them. The venue itself is just beautiful, the food created by the team of chefs was outstanding, everyone commented so on the day and they were very accommodating to dietary requirements.
Our wedding day ran so smoothly thanks to our coordinator Jasmine. We can't sing their praises enough! We truly had the most incredible day so thank you Stone Barn.

The perfect wedding!

Quite simply, we couldn't have wished for anything more from our wedding venue. The venue speaks for itself, it is truly magical and we fell in love with it the moment we walked into the barn. As importantly, everyone we worked with during the planning process were professional, helpful and were a pleasure to work with. The culture amongst all the staff is fantastic and they mix up the right level of enthusiasm, support and knowledge. As for the day itself, it ran as smoothly as they promised. A huge thank you to Jasmine and Toby who were our day and evening coordinators respectively. They are so hard working, kind and we will be forever grateful to them for helping make our day so special. Thank you so much Stone Barn, Jasmine and Toby!

Faultless. The perfect venue

Stone Barn was incredible to work with and gave us a day that was better than we could have ever hoped! The staff were responsive, professional, warm and reassuring. Stone Barn really knows how to host a wedding and how to create a truly magical day. They take the stress out of your hands. The venue is designed in a way that feels welcoming, warm and wholesome. We had awful weather on our wedding day but it truly didn't matter. Would highly recommend Stone Barn to any couple looking for an intimate, personal, perfectly-executed day. Stone Barn holds itself to a very high standard - ourselves and all our guests could feel it. We had so many compliments on our venue!

Superb wedding venue

Stone Barn took our breath away the moment we saw it and the service we received in the year leading up to our wedding was sensational.

The building is beautiful, the food was superb and plentiful and the staff were amazing from the beginning of the process right till the very end.

I would highly recommend Stone Barn for a beautiful Cotswold wedding.

An incredible venue

We had our wedding at Stone Barn last week and it was incredible in every way. Our guests are STILL contacting us to say how amazing the food was (and how generous the portions were). The team were helpful all the way through the process and executed the day perfectly, and the setting has given us some stunning wedding photographs. Absolutely no complaints – I can't express how glad we are that we chose this venue.

What a venue!!

We got married at Stone Barn in July 2023…
What a magical venue, from the look around tour back in 2021 to the wedding day- a seamless and stress free process!

The venue is just incredible, in the middle of amazing countryside- the two different barns are stunning, and flow together so well…the fairy lights and lanterns, candles, give it such a magical feeling.

The new addition of the natural wood tables give it such a lovely rustic vibe and the new disco balls for the evening are a must- they make the barn look amazing!
We opted for the teepees for our 4 young family members, they loved the space and it kept them entertained with also a place to chill.

We had rain and sun on our day, meaning our drinks reception was half in/outside- the space is perfect for all weather. When it rained it made the inside look even more magical and dramatic with the twinkly fairy lights.

Jasmine was our coordinator and she was just amazing, the day ran so smoothly, stone barn are pros at what they do!

The food- wow, I can’t stop thinking about those bbq sirloin bricks! Everyone has commented on how amazing all the food was, the best wedding food they have had!

Wish we could do it all again!
Thank-you Stone Barn!

Magical Wedding Venue

We got married a couple of weeks ago at Stone Barn and had the most magical wedding experience. The venue is incredible - both the location and the building itself, which has been stunningly renovated with a lot of thought to how weddings and large parties function. Each space is beautiful, and you can move through them without feeling like you're stuck in one place for hours. The outside space with the lanterns and fire pits is also lovely.

The staff are extremely professional, charming and accommodating - everyone we spoke to from the moment of our virtual tour through the whole process really impressed us and was one of the reasons we decided to book here. On the day itself, everything happened seamlessly, and a few last-minute requests were easily accommodated. We really felt like we were in good hands and didn't need to worry about much!

The last reason, of course, is the food, which is outstanding. Everything is cooked on a wood fire. Most of our guests said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and the late night pizzas and s'more were a really fun and delicious addition. The drama of seeing it prepared on-site also added to the whole event!

We can't recommend Stone Barn and Cripps + Co enough - we wish we could do it all over again!

Magical venue with incredible staff

The Stone Barn was everything we dreamed for and more - and what made everything even better was the staff who ensured our day was magical. Thank you so much to Katie especially for being amazing from consultation to the day itself, and also for being super nice, friendly, and fun throughout the whole organisation process. (Basically, we wish were were besties with you Katie).

Everything from the Barn aesthetics to the food to the outdoor decorations and fire, to the amazing cocktails. Everything was perfect and the day ran seamlessley. We would 1000% recommend this to anyone who is interested. Their sister Barn - Cripps is also beautiful, however you won't get Katie and the amazing team from The Stone Barn if you go for Cripps ;)

Honestly gutted we can't do it all over again. Had THE most amazing day and all our friends and family loved it too. We can't thank you enough.

Best day ever!

Honestly where do I start! This venue is absolutely to die for, it’s so dreamy and intimate and all of guests commented on how stunning it was. From the start of the process to the end all of the staff were incredible and always on hand with any questions you may have and the attention to detail is second to none. The food was divine and all of our guest said it’s the best food at ANY wedding they’ve been to before. I couldn’t recommend this venue enough and want to do it all over again. It’s so perfect so thank you Stone Barn you were amazing!!
