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

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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

A Dream Wedding Venue and a Dream Team!

My husband and I had our wedding on 30th August 2024. Charlotte was absolutely incredible at making sure everything went so smoothly on our big day. She answered any questions I had in the lead up and went above and beyond to make our day as magical as it was (even moving our final planning meeting forward as I was very heavily pregnant)! As I was only 5 weeks postpartum on our big day and had the worst baby brain, I was worried that my husband and I had bitten off more than we could chew. But with the team at Stratton Court Barn being 100% on the ball, all of our friends and family commented on how perfect the day was and how they couldn’t believe we pulled off having a baby and the perfect wedding day!! But I can’t take credit for the amazing running of the wedding day because that was all Charlotte, so thank you for looking after us so well! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and the photo opportunities are endless with gorgeous grounds and back drops, every which way you look! We honestly don’t think that anything could have gone any better than it did! The PERFECT wedding day, and that’s all thanks to Charlotte and Stratton Court Barn! Thank you!

Perfect Wedding!

We had the most wonderful wedding day in this beautiful venue thanks to Charlotte and the rest of the team. Charlotte coordinated the day amazingly and it went really smoothly. The attention to detail was incredible and everyone was so helpful. The team took care of everything and accommodated to those who needed extra help on the day. 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

Beautiful venue with a fantastic team

Stratton Court Barn is an outstanding venue for a wedding. We had ours in early August and it was absolutely fantastic. The attention to detail in making the venue look clean and well-polished is incredible. Charlotte was absolutely fantastic in helping us to prepare before the wedding and also during the day to ensure things ran smoothly. She's a real asset to Stratton Court Barn.

We would highly recommend to any couples looking for a wedding venue.

Our Wedding Day

What can I say, just WOW.
Our wedding on Saturday, the 14th, was everything we had dreamed of. Gemma, what an absolute star you were. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was so calm and ran like clockwork. Everyone who came to our wedding commented on what a stunning venue Stratton Court Barn is. To the entire team at Stratton Court, especially Gemma, a big, massive THANK YOU.
I highly recommend Stratton Court Barn as a wedding venue, it is everything and more.
Much Love

Our wedding day

We first came across Stratton Court Barn in February 2023 and quickly booked a visit and were immediately impressed and fell in love with what the venue had to offer and what it looked like whilst on a gloomy February day. The staff were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and nothing was too much for them, someone always took the time to respond to questions in the lead up to the big day. The choice for suppliers was excellent and we found our chosen and recommended suppliers to also be brilliant.
The handover day was super helpful, especially with being the first wedding of the week, meant we were able to go and set up and lay things out just as we wanted for the day. There were so many positive comments throughout the day about the venue, its spaces, decor and its natural light and airy feel.
We are so glad we picked SCB to be our venue and know that our pictures will be beautiful.
A final big shout out to Gemma who took over as our co-ordinator half way through, she played a huge part in the smoothness of our day and made sure everything ready and in place as expected. There were some (very) minor issues and Gemma was very quick to respond and support.
Thank you all again, the amazing staff and beautiful backdrop to our day, meant our day was even better than we could have ever imagined.
