Last update: February 2026
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. Airy and comfortable, with designer furniture and decor, full length mirrors, phone chargers and private en-suite bathroom, it’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy time with those closest to you while the anticipation builds
Food is at the heart of every wedding, and we are passionate about delicious food that’s prepared using locally sourced and exceptional quality produce. 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. For the evening, choose from one of our fabulous tried and tested food trucks or pop ups. Alternatively your chosen daytime caterer may be able to provide this. They offer a complete range from wood fired pizzas to BBQ, paella to street food, plus many other late night snacks to keep your guests going all night long. You are most welcome to bring in your own evening caterers, just enquire with us in advance.
We are proud to offer an outstanding selection of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks and packages. From sparkling wines, to cocktails, presse, spirits, local beers (including Hawkstone), plus our local gins Cotswolds and TOAD, our fully stocked bar will perfectly compliment your day.
Outside the barn you will find a lovely lawn area (hello, lawn games!), landscaped courtyard with a beautiful outside bar and fire pit. Our Rose Garden, woodlands, driveway and grounds make for spectacular photo opportunities.
We are a family run, exclusive use wedding venue who believe that weddings should be fun, relaxed, enjoyable and personal to you. From your initial enquiry through to your wedding day and beyond, one of wedding coordinator’s will be with you every step of the way. They will guide you through planning, booking suppliers, timings for your day, food and drink, final planning meetings on site, decoration setup, table plans as well as everything else required to deliver a seamless experience for you and your guests.

Best wedding venue & team!!
Not only is the venue stunning, with lots of different spaces to use throughout the day, the team are absolutely incredible at what they do and so friendly and professional.
Taryn was our wedding Co-Ordinator and she completely made our day what it was, it exceeded our expectations in every way possible. When we met Taryn at our final planning meeting, we knew we were in safe hands! We went through our entire day in detail, and Taryn made suggestions/ideas to enhance the day even more. But on the day, I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her. She completely went above and beyond in every way possible, helping me to get into my dress, she decorated the venue beautifully and actually better than I had even imagined, and so much more behind the scenes - she is incredible!! I felt so relaxed on the day of the wedding and this is genuinely all down to Taryn and knowing we were in safe hands.
I also want to mention all of the staff at Stratton court, as everybody we spoke to was incredibly warm and friendly. The bar staff were super positive on the day and all of our guests commented saying what a lovely venue it is and how friendly everyone is.
A great thing about Stratton court barn that other venues do not offer, is that they will decorate the venue for you using your decor, and at the end of the night pack everything down. A lot of other venues we viewed you will need to ask one of your friends/family to do this or hire a styling company. A few days before the wedding, we were able to drop everything off to the venue which meant we could then completely relax which was a huge benefit for us.
We had the best day of our lives and couldn’t recommend Stratton court barn enough
Cannot recommend SCB (and Holly) enough!
We had such an amazing day and soooooo many people have told us that it was the best wedding they'd been to, and so much of that has to do with the venue. From the getting ready room, to the ceremony room, to the beautiful Byre - it was all amazing! The grounds are stunning, there are so many incredible photo ops and the whole flow of the venue just works phenomonally well. The rooms on offer for the evening also work no matter what the size of your wedding is and it's so great to have the option, as well as have a different room for every stage of the day if you so wish.
Holly was absolutely incredible and I cannot sing her praises enough. She is an amazingly wonderful genius who just went above and beyond and I cannot say enough good things about it her! If you book SCB and have Holly, I promise you that you won't be disappointed and you will have the most incredible day.
The most beautiful wedding venue with an incredible team!
When we started looking for wedding venues, we knew we wanted a beautiful barn in the Oxfordshire countryside. Although there are so many lovely options, Stratton Court Barn stood out to us for so many reasons. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with so much flexibility to make the day truly your own. Between the two barns, the courtyard and the beautiful woodland surroundings, there are endless possibilities to create something really special.
We first visited in June 2025, when Charlotte gave us such a warm welcome and showed us around the barns and grounds. We immediately fell in love with the venue. As a bride, the Stables and Hayloft getting-ready spaces were a particular highlight, offering the most beautiful setting to spend the morning with my bridal party. The on-site cottage is also incredibly special and such a lovely addition to the whole experience. We booked our wedding for September 2026 and attended two open days in the lead-up, which only cemented our decision that we'd found the perfect place.
Holly took over as our wedding coordinator and was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. At our three-month planning meeting, she guided us through every detail, answered all our questions and made the whole process feel so easy. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such capable hands. She coordinated brilliantly with all our suppliers, even going as far as sending our photographer, who hadn't photographed a wedding at the venue before, a walkthrough complete with drone footage to help him familiarise himself with the space.
We were also lucky enough to stay in the on-site cottage the night before our wedding, which made the whole experience even more special. Holly was on hand throughout the day before to help with setting up, logistics and all those last-minute details, which meant we could relax and enjoy the excitement of it all.
What makes Stratton Court Barn so special, beyond the beautiful setting, is the people. The entire team is so genuinely welcoming, kind and attentive, and you really feel that they care about making your day everything you hoped it would be.
On our wedding day, Holly was incredible. She was there putting the finishing touches in place, checking in with both the bridal party and groomsmen to make sure everyone had everything they needed, and quietly ensuring the day ran seamlessly. We can only imagine how much was happening behind the scenes, but from our perspective, everything felt completely effortless. It was also the little things that meant so much, like making sure some evening pizza was saved for us and that our belongings were safely secured in the cottage.
Even the following morning was made easy, with everything thoughtfully gathered in the shed ready for us to collect, making checkout completely stress-free.
Our guests absolutely loved the venue, and we received so many compliments about how beautiful it was.
Stratton Court Barn isn't just a beautiful place to get married; it's a venue with a truly wonderful team who go above and beyond to make your day unforgettable. If you're considering a countryside wedding in Oxfordshire, with gorgeous surroundings, fantastic facilities and easy transport links, we really couldn't recommend it highly enough.
A huge thank you to Holly, Charlotte and the whole Stratton Court Barn team for helping make our wedding day everything we'd dreamed of!
The perfect day
The rest of the staff were fantastic, so attentive and friendly. Seb the bar manager was great throughout, he was efficient, helpful and such a lovely guy.
Our guests were commenting throughout the day on how beautiful the venue was and how great the staff were. We used one of their recommended caterers, Kearneys, who were brilliant, really great food!
Everything went to plan and we couldn’t have been happier with the day. We wish we could do it all over again and our friends and family keep asking for a round 2 at SCB!
We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our wedding!
From the very beginning, it was clear that the team genuinely cared about our guests’ comfort and making sure everyone had the best possible time. They were so accommodating, even letting us have cocktails during our drinks reception that weren’t on the menu (which were delicious!). They were also incredibly open to our ideas, including having our first dance outside and making use of the whole space so everyone could spread out, dance and enjoy themselves without feeling cramped or isolated.
One of our favourite things about the venue is all the little spaces dotted around that are perfect for photos, catching up with people or just taking five minutes together to soak it all in. It felt like there was always somewhere else to explore, and we never once felt rushed, even with another wedding taking place the following day.
But what really made it special was the staff. They were absolutely amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. We had a BIG party wedding, and the team completely matched our energy and just rolled with it! From conga lines through the courtyard to dancing absolutely everywhere, disco balls and all the chaos in between, they embraced the atmosphere and helped make the day feel us.
Stratton gave us the best of both worlds: a beautiful setting and the freedom to celebrate exactly how we wanted to. We’re so grateful to the whole team for helping us create such an incredible day. If you’re looking for a venue that combines gorgeous spaces, flexibility and a team who genuinely want you and your guests to have the best time, we couldn’t recommend Stratton enough!
Dream Wedding Venue 🩵
The whole day felt so completely us, and we have Taryn & the whole team at Stratton Court Barn to thank for the most beautiful venue and memories we’ll cherish forever. Every little detail was perfect, the venue looked absolutely stunning, and we were blown away by how magical everything felt. Our guests still comment on how much they loved the venue & the staff, which made us feel like we really made the right decision!
I can’t emphasise enough how much we loved every single moment of our wedding day, and choosing Stratton Court Barn was THE best decision we made and I wish we could do it all over again!
A huge thank you to the whole team for helping make our dreams a reality. We’ll always look back on our day with so much love and happiness, and we couldn’t recommend Stratton Court Barn enough. 🩵💎
Honestly, the best day EVER!
September 26 wedding
Taryn & Stratton Court Barn created our dream day ❤️
From our first visit to the morning after, we were well and truly spoilt. Every person we met along the way - Rose on our first viewing, Charlotte at the open day and the most to Taryn our coordinator in the lead up and on the day - made us feel so relaxed, confident and excited for the day.
What we loved most about the venue is that you're not restricted to where you want each moment of the day. We had our ceremony, drinks reception and speeches in the courtyard (back up in the Barn!), breakfast and party in the Byre and the Bridal getting ready room was so spacious and natural lighting for getting ready. Even the Cottage we stayed in the night of was so perfect (even had our event nanny in there looking after the kids!).
Highly recommend Stratton Court Barn for your wedding! All the staff and vibes were everything and more 🫶🏻
The best day of our lives!
From the very beginning, Taryn was absolutely AMAZING. Truly, we cannot put into words how incredible she was. She went above and beyond in every possible way to make sure our day ran as smoothly and beautifully as it did.
What made Taryn so special was not only her professionalism and attention to detail, but the genuine care, dedication and love she poured into everything. She never once made us feel rushed or like we were just another wedding. She made every moment feel special, taking the time to listen to us, understand what was important to us and make sure every little detail was taken care of.
She is incredibly organised, professional and so on top of everything. No matter what was happening behind the scenes, we always felt completely reassured that everything was in the safest possible hands. She thought of things we hadn’t even considered and somehow managed to make everything feel effortless.
Taryn, we genuinely don’t think our wedding day would have been what it was without you. You played such a huge part in making it the most incredible, magical and unforgettable day of our lives, and we will be forever grateful.
Stratton Court Barn is absolutely beautiful, but having someone like Taryn there to guide you through the whole experience is something truly priceless. We couldn’t recommend her, or the venue, highly enough.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Taryn. You are truly one of a kind.
The Best Day of Our Lives
The grounds and barn itself are so beautiful and can be decorated in your own way to suit your particular style while still having its own charm. Our content creator had never been to Stratton and absolutely loved it and we had so many places to take pictures in all different styles.
We had a lot of extras we wanted for our day, from live singer, sax player, photo booth, sparklers and nothing was too much for the team everything we wanted was encouraged and set up seamlessly.
We would highly recommend Stratton Court Barn to anyone for their special day, we can’t thank the team enough and are so grateful for giving us the best day of our lives and memories we will cherish forever! We can’t wait to come back during an open day just to relive every moment.
Thank you to everyone involved and especially Holly for being an absolute power house!

We feel so lucky to have celebrate our wedding at a beautiful and special place.
From the very first moment we drove through the gates, walked the grounds and met the team, we knew this was the place we wanted to get married. There was something so special about the venue, and we immediately felt that we could see our wedding there.
Taryn was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. She was always so kind, patient and considerate, answering all of our (often very random!) questions and making us feel completely supported throughout the whole process. She really understood what we were envisioning for our day and, most importantly, she made us feel like nothing was ever too much trouble.
On the day itself, Taryn and the entire team went above and beyond for us. Taryn made sure everything ran so smoothly that we genuinely felt completely stress-free and were able to just enjoy every single moment. And my goodness, did everything come together spectacularly! The day was honestly more perfect than we could have imagined, and we truly couldn’t have done it without her and the amazing team behind her.
Seb and the bar team were also fantastic in the evening, looking after us and all of our guests so well and helping to make the evening so much fun.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, the grounds are beautiful, the accommodation was cosy and comfortable, and every little detail came together perfectly on the day. But what really made Stratton Court Barn so special for us was the people. From the planning stages right through to the moment we left, we felt so looked after, and we will always be incredibly grateful for that.
Thank you so much to Taryn, Seb and the entire Stratton Court Barn team for being such a huge part of the best day of our lives. We will forever look back on our wedding day with the biggest smiles, and we feel so lucky that we got to celebrate it at such a beautiful and special place.
The best day!
The venue is truly gorgeous with so much space for your guests, both inside and outside. We had our ceremony in the Rose Garden which was just beautiful, before having our main meal in the Byre and our evening disco in the Main Barn. Every space was great and we found we needed very little decoration to elevate them.
The staff are a true asset to Stratton Court. We are so grateful for Holly, our wonderful wedding co-ordinator, who constantly reassured me in the build up to our day, helped brainstorm ideas for any gaps we had and did the most incredible job setting up and making everything look gorgeous on the day. Our day wouldn't have been half as good without all the work Holly, Seb and all of the staff working did looking after everyone and making sure we all had the best day!
Stratton Court Barn also have a great list of recommended suppliers which they are constantly reviewing and which we were really grateful for as non-locals. We really loved the freedom and flexibility the venue offered with multiple approved caterers, which wasn't something we found when viewing other venues.
Overall, I can't imagine a better venue. Thank you again all of you!
