Stratton Court Barn offers an idyllic exclusive use venue for your special wedding day. The property is nestled within 65 acres of stunning private land and formal gardens in the charming North Oxfordshire countryside, near Bicester and Oxford. We pride ourselves in our flexibility and would love for you to make the most of our gardens, grounds, lake, and woodlands.

Facilities and Capacity

The Main Barn is a beautifully intimate space, ideal for exchanging your vows. Built in 1872, it retains many of its original features, including oak beams, a vaulted ceiling, and a striking traditional stone structure, all of which lend a timeless charm to the setting - plus views over the breathtaking countryside. The barn's high ceilings and focal point arch create a stunning backdrop for ceremonies, blending classic elegance with modern touches.

The Byre is our newest space - a breathtaking barn space with a hint of industrial charm. Doors open onto the courtyard and at the heart of the room is a striking fireplace, creating a cosy and inviting ambiance. Whether adorned with round tables or rustic long tables, this unique space seamlessly combines rustic character with contemporary style.

The venue is licensed to hold civil ceremonies indoors, in the Main Barn or The Byre, and outdoors in Ferne Wood, The Courtyard or the Rose Garden. For the ceremonies our Main Barn can host up to 90 seated guests and The Byre up to 130 seated guests, with capacity up to 175 for the evening reception.

Gorgeous Granary cottage is available to stay in on the night of your wedding. The cottage interior matches the classic yet contemporary style of the barn with flagstone floors, wood burning stove, two bedrooms with luxurious double beds, and a wet room stocked with The White Company products.

The Hayloft wedding preparation room, designed in farmhouse-luxe style is the perfect place to get ready on the morning of your wedding from 8.30am.

The best wedding venue and staff

We had our wedding July this year with Charlotte as our wedding co-ordinator. From the minute we saw the venue and met the staff we knew this was the venue we wanted for our wedding. The venue is gorgeous and has the most beautiful grounds also. The whole process from first visiting to the day of our wedding was so relaxed. Communication is 100% and the staff are very flexible in making sure the day suits your wishes. We could not have wished for a better wedding co-ordinator than Charlotte, and all our family and friends commented on how amazing she was. Charlotte did not miss anything, and we couldn't have imagined the day running as smoothly without her! Nothing was too much and we are forever grateful. The whole venue has such a warm and family friendly atmosphere (even for dogs!). Thank you for giving us the wedding we dreamed of! X

Highly recommend

Back in February last year when i started my wedding planning journey I knew the ceremony would be at my family church in St Marys church, kidlington so finding a venue had to be within an hour of Kidlington. I searched online and stratton court was one of the 1st to come up, after seeing photos online I didnt hesitate to book a viewing. As soon as I drove up the Stratton Court Barn down the beuitful tree line drive I was already preety certain I was going to love it. Parking up and walking theough the rose garden and round onto the courtyard with all the outside space and beauitful glass doors into the barn it looked stunning. I met Charlotte who was so enthusiastic about wedding and certianly got my excitement to a whole knew level. Within a few days Stratton Court Barn was booked. Charlotte, Gemma and Rose we're always so quick to reply to emails, and I sent a lot, but they was never fased and always happy to answer any questions big or small. They happily showed both sets of parents and my bridesmaids round the venue on 3 different occasions. The dropping off process was seemless and ramped up the wedding excitment even more knowing that Rose would have everything under control. On the saturday morning Rose was ready to greet me and my bridesmaid bright and early. She had already let me hair and make up artist in early so she was all set up and ready to go which gave us ample time to get ready and have time for 1st look pics before leaving for the ceremony. As with any wedding the timings had gone a little behind after the ceremony but Rose kept us calm and helped us go with the flow. She told our groomsmen what they needed to say for their roles as masters of ceremony and made the rest of our day go swimmingly into the perfect wedding day I could have ever imgained. We later found out itbwas Rose' 1st time leading a wedding, but you couldnt tell. She was very confident, smiley and professional.
Stratton Court Barn had tidied away all our stuff and had it neatly ready for collection on the sunday morning with anouther warm greeting of smiles and congratulations for being officially married. You could see they genuienly cared. All of my guests commented on how stunning the venue was. I can't wait to get all my photos back to see the pics from the lake, rose garden, first dance etc. I would book Stratton Court Barn again in a heart beat.

The most fabulous venue you could wish for

Stratton court barn is everything and more that you could wish for in a wedding venue. With the exclusive hire you have so many options of where to wed, where to have photos and how to shape your day! Each area is truly breathtaking and all our guests commented on the extraordinary venue.

Charlotte is simply fantastic, on hand from the moment we booked. No question to silly, nothing to much, she really went above and beyond to accommodate everything we needed and to ensure the day went exactly as we wished it too. Charlotte is definitely a wedding fairy godmother!

We could not have asked for more from a wedding venue, and we had the most magical, perfect day!

Perfect venue 😍

We got married at Stratton Court Barn on 11 April 2025 and honestly couldn’t recommend it more.

From the start, Charlotte was so accommodating in everything we needed to know and answer all my questions, even small.

The planning meeting a few months was so helpful in getting the final details sorted and making us feel at ease for the big day.

And then on the day, everything ran so smoothly with the help of the team, meaning we had nothing to worry about! One of our favourite things was the support of Charlotte on the day who ensured our playlists were played at the right time, a practice run of the aisle walk and she even went above and beyond and used our camcorders to capture some of our favourite moments of the day.

We’re so grateful for everything, just wish we could do it all again!!

The perfect fairy wedding venue

As soon as we saw Stratton Court Barn we knew it was the perfect venue for us. From the day we booked Charlotte (our venue coordinator) was so helpful in making everything easy - answering my many questions quickly. She also set up for the day placing so many little details on the tables that we provided, perfectly making our vision come to life. We had the most stunning fairy woodland wedding and the venue and staff really are what made it so incredible. The fields surrounding are also perfect for your pictures- everything is stunning

Thanks so much!

Best day of our lives

Could not recommend this venue and Charlotte enough!!! We had the absolute best day of our lives and it’s thanks to Charlotte and all the staff. Communication was amazing and Charlotte could not do enough for us in the run up and on the day. Everything went so smoothly and the setting is absolutely beautiful which made for stunning photos. I used the Hayloft to get ready in the morning and this was such a perfect, relaxing space. We also rented the cottage for the wedding night which was also beautiful! All the areas worked so well and the day and night flowed really well because of this. We really had the best day ever 🤍

Thank you so much for all your help on Friday. We had an amazing day and Charlotte’s friendly support, made everything run so smoothly, and was greatly appreciated by us all. Charlotte’s calm, discreet and efficient demeanour was perfectly pitched to make us feel welcome, confident and relaxed. I would highly recommend this spacious flexible venue!

The Perfect Day!

We had the most perfect day at Stratton Court Barn celebrating our wedding. It was the most magical day! We got ready there in the morning and we were looked after so well by the venue staff for the whole day. The bar was brilliant and our wedding co-ordinator, Zoe, was beyond perfect. She made everything happen behind the scenes, ensured everything ran to time and was generally a wonderful presence throughout our day. Everything flowed like a clockwork and we were supported through each and every moment of our day. We loved every minute of our wedding in such a beautiful venue with such a lovely team. Thank you so much for making our wedding day more than we could have ever hoped for!

Our wedding was AMAZING!

Where to begin.....

Myself & my partner don't live locally to Bicester/Stratton Court Barn and had stumbled across the venue online, after we had visited numerous venues in our local area, which didn't tick our box.

From the first initial contact, we knew Stratton Court Barn was the wedding venue for us.

The staff were friendly, efficient, thorough and really took the time to get to know us before our big day, no question is silly and no request too big. Charlotte was our wedding coordinator and was truly incredible, we cannot say enough nice things about her and our day really wouldn't have been as good as it was without her looking after us all.

The venue (both the buildings and the grounds) are truly breath-taking and clearly so well maintained. We wanted to make the most of the venue and both myself & my now husband got ready at the venue in the morning (in the stables and the granary cottage) and we would highly recommend this as the celebrations start early and with complete ease.

We absolutely loved that our dog could be part of our day too!

Our guests on our wedding day couldn't say enough nice things about the whole day and we could go on to say more but we just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams, we just wish we could do it all again!

A truly special day

An amazing day, Charlotte & the team made it absolutely made it a day to remember. Honestly we can hands down say it was the best day of our lives! From the perfect venue to the perfect support and seamless coordination of the day made it everything.

We absolutely loved everything, and loved the recommendation of the Byre room too!

Venue of dreams

We fell in love with Stratton Court Barn as soon as we saw it, and it was the only venue we ended up viewing.

We attended a couple of open days, which made us fall in love with the venue even more.

Charlotte was our wedding coordinator and what an amazing job she did!
From responding to various questions via email, to tips of how to organise our decorations that we had to hand over, even last minute changes a few days before the wedding and even on the day.

Everything ran so smoothly and was the more perfect day ever!

Everything was planned for an indoor wedding, due to it being October and not the most predictable weather wise, however luck was on our side and we had the most gorgeous day which meant we could spend more time outside.

Thank you Charlotte for helping the day plan so smoothly and perfectly. We honestly had the best day and you were a massive part of that.

We would love to redo it all
Much love

Amazing venue & people

Got married at Stratton Court Barn on 12th October 2024. We were looking for dog-friendly venues and this came up; it was the first venue we visited and my now wife knew it was the one pretty much immediately. Our dog was only 4 months at the time and got a lot of fuss from all the staff so didn't take much persuading!
In the two years between securing the venue and having the wedding we ended up talking to a few different people about our needs but they were all extremely helpful and patient with all our questions, and seemed just as excited as us about our big day. They have lots of recommendations on catering, flowers, decorations, cakes, accommodation, etc, so you don't feel like you're having to do all your research yourself. They were also very accommodating with changes being made up to a week before and always with a smile.
The venue itself is beautiful and has plenty of space inside as well as a lot of grounds around it that make for lovely photos, especially the lake around the back (see photos). The Byre wasn't originally there when we booked but we were allowed to use it anyway without additional charge, which was great as it's a wonderful space; we used it just for the wedding breakfast but it would be great as the main ceremony room as well.
Charlotte was our co-ordinator on the day and she was an absolute star, the whole day ran very smoothly and it was very much down to her; we actually had two additional guests show up unannounced and she dealt with it amazingly, ensuring they had space at a table and got some food. We got so many compliments and asked where we found her, with a lot of people surprised she just came with the venue! Also the folks on the bar were a laugh, and put up with guests antics with good humour.
I would definitely recommend Stratton Court Barn, it's an amazing venue with people that just make things easy for you. My wife was absolutely over the moon with the whole day, of course I was too :)

Amazing Amazing Amazing!

My husband & I got married here 2 weeks ago! It is the first venue we saw and knew it was the one as soon as we came down the driveway. We didn’t have a big wedding and Stratton Court Barn was exactly what we was looking for. The place is absolutely stunning! Charlotte, our wedding coordinator was incredible from start to finish, happy to answer any questions throughout planning and on the day was a superstar! Super professional and so lovely & made sure everything went smoothly! Thank you so much! x

Beautiful wedding venue

We’re so glad we chose Stratton Court Barn for our wedding. It is a really beautiful wedding venue with a great team and the additions they have introduced over the last year have only enhanced it. One of the appeals to us of Stratton Court Barn was the amount of both inside and outside space. The grounds are stunning but the inside space was so lovely we also were not worried about whether it would rain or not! We also benefitted from the opening of the Byre, which gave a lovely space for our wedding breakfast (separate from the main barn where we had our ceremony) and provided even more inside space for guests. Charlotte was our wedding coordinator and did a fantastic job at ensuring everything was where it needed to be. The final planning session was very helpful for identifying which planning aspects we still needed to finalise. This has moved closer to the wedding that we’d originally thought (we were a bit worried that we hadn’t had it 3 months before) but Charlotte told us she has moved these sessions closer to wedding dates because typically people need the extra month for getting things in order - this was definitely the case for us! Overall, we’d highly recommend Stratton Court Barn!

The venue is just beautiful we could not fault it. We want to do the day all over again! Thank you so much for making our day everything we could of hoped for x
