Stratton Court Barn Reviews (23) Write a review Perfect Wedding Venue Venue Service By Jill and John Iball, on 25 Sep 2019Date of Wedding - 21 Sep 2019 What an amazing day at Stratton Court Barn. We got married in the late afternoon, the sun was shining, and it was still very warm, hardly a cloud in the sky. Chris and Cathy could not have done more for us, so welcoming and helpful, recommending Sally and her fantastic catering team and Karin, our wedding planner who was simply incredible. It’s hard to describe the feelings as we walked into the barn arm in arm, between our lovely friends and family but they were all heightened because of the setting which was magical. The high vaulted wooden ceiling, stone walls, oak beams and the light flooding in through the huge windows made it seem like something from a fairy-tale. The ceremony was emotional and once, we walked out of the barn under a shower of dried petal confetti into the courtyard for champagne and canapes. Our photographer was spoilt for choice for photo locations with old stone buildings, flower gardens, courtyards and wood fronted barns all surrounded by beautiful countryside. We were even lucky enough to get a picture perfect sunset over the fields. As evening approached, we returned to the main barn for dinner. The atmosphere was electric and the food delicious, we had seventy guests sat in comfort and all able to clearly hear the speeches, which were thankfully very well received with much laughter and a few tears. Dinner finished it was time to party where the bar and dancefloor were soon full of animated, happy people while others spilled out onto the courtyard to chat with friends on the comfortable covered seating. It was still warm so we didn’t need to light the fire pit. We finished at midnight, elated and still buzzing after the most perfect day of our lives.Such a beautiful day! Venue Service By Sarah and Chris, on 19 Dec 2019Date of Wedding - 26 Jul 2019 We could not have asked for more from Karin and her team at Stratton Court Barn! This was the first venue we visited and we drove away having that gut feeling that this was the perfect place for our wedding. Everything from our initial visits, consistently helpful and supportive email exchanges, to the run up of the final few weeks confirmed for us that we made the right choice. Karin was unfailingly helpful, cheerful and encouraging, and has an amazing knowledge of a brilliant range of local suppliers. Planning a wedding and the lead up to the day can be stressful, but everything was made so much easier as we had complete faith in Karin and the day itself flowed perfectly. The venue itself is the perfect balance of relaxed and beautiful, surrounded by gorgeous countryside. It worked so well to have our 60 guests gather together in this warm, bright and welcoming setting. We had the most perfect day and would thoroughly recommend Stratton Court to any couple for their special day!Karin Tindall, Wedding and Events Manager at Stratton Court Barn responded to this review on 20/12/2019 09:30:03Oh, Sarah and Chris, it makes me so happy to read your wonderful words!

The setting is beautiful, the rooms fabulously set out, Karin, who organises, everything, yes everything, there was nothing that she wouldn’t or couldn’t do, was incredibly helpful, professional, totally unitrusive and calming before and on the day. We had 80 guests to the day and 150 in total to the evening, the venue was so flexible, although Karin could recommend excellent suppliers, we were also able to use our own. That included florists, caterers, make-up artist the lot! Karin also kept her word that there would never be a dry glass in the house, which contributed to a few sore heads the next day but to one great celebration. All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was, to the point that they felt that they were celebrating in our home as it was so relaxed, very personal and full of fun and love. Which is exactly the atmosphere we were hoping to create. We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone, it really did exceed all thst we imagined our day to be. Thank you to Karin and her amazing team Sian and JonWedding Date - 7th July 2018 Venue Service By Faye, on 13 Aug 2018Date of Wedding - 07 Jul 2018 We had our wedding day at Stratton Court Barn on 7th July 2018 and I cannot recommend it enough! It is such a beautiful venue, with beautiful grounds and a really relaxed vibe about it, which is exactly what we wanted. Karin who co-ordinates everything for you is one of the most helpful people I have met, she was amazing throughout our planning, always at the other end of an email, and gave great recommendations for suppliers. When we told Karin we wanted a really relaxed BBQ on the day, she knew just the person to recommend! Our day went as smoothly as it possibly could have, and I thank Karin and her team for that. The venue looked stunning and that was with minimal decoration. The courtyard is really pretty, and there are great backdrops for photos. We had 60 guests in the day and about double that in the evening, it never felt cramped but at the same time it never felt like everyone was spaced out. If I could do it all over again, I would still have choose this venue every time! Prev Page 1 of 2 Next
