Stratton Court Barn

What an incredible venue and experience! Thank you really isn't enough.
From the venue tour and planning meetings to the big day, Karin was amazing at bringing our dreams to life.
She walked us through what our wedding would look like to the minute on our first visit and we were both in awe at her organisation and the beautiful venue. We knew instantly that Stratton Court Barn was the venue for our wedding. Although planning our wedding during a pandemic was difficult, Karin kept us informed and supported us throughout. In our planning and final meeting, Karin talked about all the different facets of the day, including elements we hadn't thought of. Thanks to her support in the planning and on the day, the wedding ran more perfectly than we could have imagined.
The venue has so many beautiful views, from the garden to the courtyard, the fields to the lake and the traditional barn, we had so many different backdrops for our photos. The bar, ceremony room and separate stables room gave us all the different spaces that we needed for our day.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it the best day of our lives.
A big thanks to Karin and her team, we want to do it all over again.

We wanted a fun, colourful wedding – which is exactly what we got. Had we asked for stylish and sophisticated, Karin definitely would have made that happen too.

Organisationally, our day was a flawless masterpiece - axe throwing, ping pong and cocktails all happened as if a magic fairy was in charge. We have to imagine the hard work that went on behind the scenes because we didn’t see a second of it.

Stratton Court Barn is beautiful and Karin decorated it with natural flair. She also generously gave us her time beforehand, in person, by Zoom and by e-mail; even at the height of summer we felt like we were the only couple getting married there.

As soon as we entered the venue and met Karin, we knew we wanted to get married at Stratton Court Barn. We couldn’t be happier with how our day went and this is largely due to how wonderful Karin is! She went above and beyond to turn our dreams of a tiny, intimate wedding into reality and didn’t miss a single detail. From coordinating with our suppliers to setting up our dinner table to driving us around to various photo locations, Karin is a master of all wedding trades (and may also be the warmest and most friendly person we’ve ever met!)

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful with the traditional barn, various woodlands, gardens and fields while the bridal preparation room comes equipped with everything you could possibly need - the perfect place to relax and get ready. Karin recommended S&J Cuisine for our catering who were absolutely incredible, and they even made our wedding cake!

Thank you again Karin and Stratton Court Barn for the most perfect day. If we could get married every year, we’d choose you every time.

One word, wow! Could not fault anything about our Wedding at Stratton Court Barn, from the initial open day, visit, meetings with Karin and the day itself was faultless.

The venue is absolutely stunning and perfect for a rustic Wedding in the country. The scenery and facilities are second to none and would certainly highly recommend this venue. Not just for the beautiful scenery but also for the most amazing service I have ever received from Karin. She was fantastic and answered all of our queries, nothing was too much. I can't fault her service or thank her enough for everything that she did from start to finish. She made the whole experience easy, particularly when we got married in June and covid made all the rules and regulations completely unpredictable. Despite restrictions, we were still able to have the perfect day, having the option of being indoors or dancing the night away in the stunning courtyard.

The brial suite is perfect for a small bridal perfect and also a great little hide away. There are so many perfect places to take a photo, including a small lake, Rose garden, the barn itself, courtyard and so many more, such a picturesque place.

Honestly, if I could do it all again, I would not change a thing nor think twice about getting married at Stratton Court Barn!

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.

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!

We recently got married at Stratton Court Barn and we honestly cannot rave about it enough!!! We had the most amazing experience working with Karin. She is an absolute dream! There is nothing she can’t do and we felt so fortunate and supported having her co-ordinate the day for us. The venue is absolutely beautiful and all are guests commented on this! We had the best day ever and would completely recommend the venue!!!

Thank you so much to Karin and all the team at Stratton Court Barn for giving us the most special day we could have hoped for.

You put our minds at ease from the moment we first met you and we are so pleased we chose Stratton Court Barn for our wedding.

The comments we received from family and guests were so positive. Everyone had an amazing time. I will be recommending you to any newly engaged couples I meet from now on!

I wanted to say thank you again for making sure absolutely every last
detail and timing was absolutely perfect for our special day. We couldn't
have done it without you and we both think you are a very special and
talented human! As we've said to you before, as beautiful as Stratton
Court Barn is, the one thing that really mattered to us was the fact that
it came with a Karen! Thank you thank you thank you for being a superstar,
wedding co-ordinator extraordinaire! It was such a comfort to know that we
were in your capable hands :) We have such amazing memories, and look
forward to sharing our wedding video and reliving it all when we receive it
in a few weeks time!

If we could score Karin more than 5 for everything we would! Karin is so flexible and friendly and really cares about your wedding; even though she organises 100s of weddings. Nothing is too much trouble for her to organise. She makes everything so stress free. The venue is simply stunning and Karin has really helped to transform the venue into a beautiful boutique style barn. I'd get married a million times if it meant I could forever use this venue! Love Karin, love Stratton Court Barn!

From the day we looked around the venue, leading up to, and on the wedding day itself, Karin was fully committed to making our day as special as possible. Very attentive to answering any questions we had, and offering advice where needed, Karin's organisation skills and thoroughness ensured nothing was missed! She has an infectious positive attitude and made us feel at ease about our plans for the day. We are very grateful to Karin and all the staff who made our day so wonderful!

From the day we found Stratton Court Barn online to visiting the venue and meeting Karin, myself and Katie felt completely comfortable choosing Karin to help us and be in control of our wedding day. We visited a lot of venues and Once we met Karin we know this was the venue for us. We knew instantly she was professional, organised, she completely understood what we wanted and what we didn’t want. She was flexible, supportive and she made the day unbelievable, she removed all stress of the day. Katie

Karin was absolutely wonderful from day one. On the run up to the event she gave us a detailed list of everything we should expect and need to prepare for the big day. She also liaised with all of the suppliers before the event so that the day ran as smoothly as possible. On the actual day, she was wonderful and organised everyone involved wonderfully and sorted out any problems effectively.

We had our wedding at Stratton Court Barn on the 21st July 2018 and we really can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. 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
