The Best Day Of Our Lives!

Myself and my husband got married at Stretton Manor Barn on the 2nd November and it was honestly the best day of our lives! We first viewed Stretton Manor back in the summer of 2022 and instantly knew it was the venue for us. The rustic charm and the openness of the venue was something we both loved. We also loved that it was all one big room so guests could mingle together in the same space. Throughout the planning process, nothing was ever too much to ask. As a self confessed control freak I was definitely emailing a lot, but any questions I had were always answered quickly. We even got to go to the prosecco and canapes night which was an amazing event and highly recommended for any couples getting married here. On the day, our coordinator Ellie was just fantastic! She was not only our coordinator, but my dress fixer (thank you!), kept us informed of the order of the day as honestly you lose time, and even re-wrote our DJ song requests out for us when they didn't quite go to plan! The food, we had so many compliments about! Everyone was so full and we all felt bad leaving food but you honestly get so much! We were absolutely spoilt for choice. It's second to none. We both definitely recommend the camembert starter and Bakewell tart. If you have the banquet trio, the dauphinoise potatoes are amazing! We also want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who were so attentive all day, regularly checking in on us and our guests to make sure we had everything we needed. We've had lots of comments from our guests saying how helpful, professional and friendly all the staff were. Thank you Stretton Manor Barn for being such an amazing wedding venue and to all of your staff for being so accommodating to us and all of our guests. We loved every moment of our wedding day. Our vision came to life and we are so thankful for that. To anyone thinking of having their wedding at Stretton Manor Barn, do it! Mr & Mrs Elliott.

Amazing!

Absolutely amazing venue and staff!!!!

I would like to say a very big thank you to all of those who made this a very special day, with a special mention to Amanda.

The venue is a stunning place in an idyllic location, with the most amazing and helpful staff. The day was perfect, and everything was stunning.

Amanda was the perfect wedding planner providing support where needed and going above and beyond to be there for everyone, not just myself and now husband and at the same time not being intrusive.

My Grandma is 91 years old and struggles with walking, but she loved the day and was blown away by the venue, as access to everything is easy and it’s very comfortable. The guests enjoyed the day so much and we had so many compliments about the food, which was amazing.

Would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone getting married in the future!

Incredible wedding venue!

We had our wedding at Stretton Manor barn in March and it was incredible! This was the only venue we viewed, we fell in love with it straight away and knew nothing else would top it.

The barn is absolutely stunning and the staff are so helpful. Our wedding planner was Amanda, from the start of the wedding process all the way through until after our wedding, communication was amazing, nothing was ever too much to ask! The staff on the day were very organised and worked so hard to ensure everything ran smoothly. All the guests commented on how stunning the venue was and how amazing the food was, nobody left hungry! A lot of the guests said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.

We would highly recommend Stretton Manor Barn to anybody looking to start their wedding planning journey. We couldn’t have wished for a better wedding venue! Thank you so much to everybody in the Stretton Manor Barn team!

Exceptional, above and beyond from everyone

I can’t believe our big day has been and gone! All of the team at Stretton manor barn are amazing. Nothing is too much all of my suppliers said how much of a dream they were to work alongside.
The food was delicious everyone complimented how lovely it was and how much there was.. not a hungry belly in sight all day
The bar staff were attentive myself and my husband were never without anything all day they always popped to our table to see if we needed anything and to take away glasses, refresh table waters

Ellie our beautiful wedding coordinator was amazing from start to finish with every detail, the day ran super smooth and I cannot thank her enough!

Simply the best wedding venue

We cant thank the whole team enough for making our day so perfect. Everything went to plan, if not better!
From our first visit we knew this was where we wanted to get married, we instantly felt welcome and comfortable. The attention and care all the staff put in is incredible, they are so polite and helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble.
The location is perfect, in beautiful surroundings, very quiet and private and makes for brilliant photo opportunities!
The food is incredible, we upgraded to the Banquet Trio, and had hog roast for the evening, and well, wow! The amount of food you get on each platter is very generous, but the quality and flavour of everything is insane! Just for food alone everybody should have their wedding here.
Simply, Stretton Manor Barn is the perfect wedding venue.
Thank you all so much again for making our day so wonderful, we will be forever grateful

Stunning and seamless wedding day!!

We can’t express enough how amazing the staff have been from booking until picking up our decor after our wedding. Nothing was too much trouble and they made us and our wedding feel truly special - a special shout out to Beth and Ellie! We had endless comments on how beautiful and intimidate the venue is as well as how seamless the day went. Oh and every guest has raved about the food - we wish the barn was a restaurant so we could return! Thank you so much to everyone at SMB!

Incredible Venue

Stretton manor barn was the first and only place we viewed for our wedding venue. As soon as we seen it we knew it was the right place for us. Everything about the venue is absolutely stunning.
Beth our wedding coordinator could not do enough for us even last minute requests she fulfilled. She was there every step of the way even on the day going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our day couldn’t have been any more perfect and that is because of the staff at stretton manor for making that happen. They really couldn’t do enough. Nothing was too much trouble and even our guests complimented how good they were.
The food, we had canapés after our ceremony which were out of this world. Every single guest loved them. Especially the pork sausages and mash!! The wedding breakfast itself was again absolutely delicious and the pizza we had at night was so good. Couldn’t have asked for better food.
So just a massive thank you to Beth and the team at Stretton manor barn for making our day as special and perfect as it was.
Highly recommend this venue to anyone.

A Complete Dream

Wow! Where do I start?

I remember finding this amazing venue when we first got engaged. At that point it was still is development.. We only saw concept art but could already tell it was going to be incredible and would have to visit.

Fast forward to 2021 we began to plan our wedding. We arranged a visit, and it ended up being the only venue we viewed. Even though there was still a tiny bit more work to be done, and no official weddings as of yet, the place completely took our breath away. We could imagine every little detail for our day, and all our family and friends around us. I remember saying to my partner as soon as we got home that we simply had to reserve our date.

From the minute we booked our wedding, even 2 years ahead, the team at Stretton have been nothing short of remarkable. The level of communication and care from Amanda, and everyone was a weight lifted off our shoulders. We couldn’t ask more from anyone. Amanda was our coordinator on the day and she was simply outstanding and couldn’t do enough for the both of us! The day before she was there helping us set up, and on the day of, organising everyone, fluffing my train and helping me walk across the car park a nervous wreck before our ceremony, and just having the most fun with us. We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done to make our day so special.

The barn is a lovely mix of contemporary modern and rustic, giving off a really warm atmosphere. I had always dreamed of an autumn, barn style, rustic wedding and here all of my dreams became real. What we love about Stretton Manor Barn is that you are encouraged to style it however you want, and show off your personalities. But in truth it doesn’t need much doing to it at all, it’s just stunning by itself. Table runners with scattered candles and flowers made ours the dream we had visioned for ourselves right from the beginning; we wanted to show off the tables, chairs and beautiful wooden arch that just makes the venue what it is. There are so many extras included with the barn as well that we didn’t realise; the Mr & Mrs sign really added to the vibrancy of the atmosphere.

The food is on another planet. Phenomenal. The starter was sublime; light and flavourful with a lovely bruschetta each. Gorgeous humous, olives and a lovely range of breads. We went for the Char-Grilled Chicken for our main and Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. Both were out of this world and portion sizes were huge for everyone! We got to try the dessert at the Prosecco & canapés night a couple of months prior and knew we were on to a winner! I only wish I’d of had a bigger appetite on the day as everything was just delicious! We went for the pizzas for the evening option which were again just beautiful! I can’t remember going to a wedding, let alone being my own where the food was THIS GOOD.. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it, even days later! From the variety of options available to the portion sizes, there is something for everyone and not to be missed!

The day itself was just perfect. Everything just went exactly how we dreamed with little to no stress at all. The weather was gorgeous too which was an added bonus! From the getting ready, photos, food and dancing, everything felt so seamless. We would like to thank everyone involved for helping to make our day so magical, from the coordinators and chefs, to the bartenders, waiting staff and our DJ on the night, you are all absolutely wonderful and really make the barn somewhere truly special.

Absolutely amazing

We found Stretton Manor Barn through Instagram and knew straight away it was where we wanted to get married. The photos genuinely don’t do it justice of how stunning the barn and surroundings are. We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather which meant we could have the outdoor ceremony we wanted and we are so glad we did!

One of the main reasons we loved Stretton was the packages they offer! So much was included it made our lives a little easier and less stressful! They also allow dogs which is an huge bonus! Our wedding coordinator Victoria was also amazing, she was extremely helpful all they way through and didn’t get annoyed at our constant emails! On the day Victoria and all the staff went above and beyond, nothing was too much trouble and they had everything in hand so we didn’t need to worry!

Lastly the food, a big thing for us because it’s all anyone asks you after you’ve attended a wedding, was simply incredible! We upgraded to the banquet trio of meats and hog roast for the evening, everything from the presentation, quantity and taste was out of this world. We still have guests telling us now how amazing the food was now.

We had the most amazing day, everything was perfect from start to finish and Stretton Manor Barn played a huge part in that. We would recommend it to anybody. Thank you for the best day! Xx

The best wedding venue we could have possibly chosen.

We absolutely love Stretton Manor Barn! From the first meeting up until the day itself, every member of staff was helpful, personable, available for anything we needed, accommodating, and genuinely appeared to be invested in making our day exactly what we wanted it to be. I cant speak highly enough of the venue and it's staff, and would highly recommend everyone to, at the very least, visit them and see how beautiful the venue itself is. We could never thank them enough for everything they did, and have absolutely no regrets about choosing Stretton Manor Barn for our big day.

Also, the food was incredible!

Incredible venue

We had our wedding day at Stretton Manor Barn on the 10th November. It is a stunning venue, intimate, cosy, modern, perfect for our autumn wedding. I like how it’s all one big room so you don’t lose track of guests! Even though it was November we also made use out the outdoor space with the patio heaters, under cover sofas and fire pits and weren’t cold at all. The staff were so good on the day, they kept checking in on us, made sure we had our own canapés and always had a drink in our hand. They kept us up to speed with what was next etc so I really couldn’t fault them. Making sure we had a taxi back to our accommodation was also great. The food is also incredible! By far the best I’ve had at a wedding. Unfortunately with the wedding nerves I barely touched mine but what I did have was amazing! Wish I could go back and have it as a guest.
There were only a couple of things where I thought but there was a bit of room for improvement, but still worthy of 5 stars. Communication on the run up was a bit sporadic until we were allocated our wedding coordinator 6 weeks before and I didn’t really like how I was speaking to someone different every time. I also had to chase for our final meeting to be arranged as I could see our last payment approaching and no one had been in touch. Also on the day I’d been very thorough with the seating plan but some high chairs were in the wrong spot which me and my husband spotted luckily. Also the kids food came out quite late, they didn’t have starters so I thought it would have been good to bring them out before the adult mains as the little ones were getting hungry/restless.

I loved our wedding here and would 100% have it here again, hope I get to return as a guest on day!

May 2024 Wedding

Myself and my husband got married here in May and we had the most amazing and special day.
From first viewing the venue they made us feel very special and we absolutely fell in love with the modern feel of the barn venue.
The team were amazing and nothing was too much trouble even after bombarding them with loads of questions.
We had the best day, everything was organsied to a T and our guests were treated very well (they even managed to source hot chocolates for our elderly guests). The food was amazing and is still talked about now 4 months down the line.
We couldn't have asked for a better day. Special thanks to Ellie our wedding coordinator and the rest of the team at Stretton Manor Barn.
Mr & Mrs Raine.

Highly recommend

Myself and my wife got married at Stretton Manor Barn a little over a week ago.

We visited the venue a little over 2 years ago and as most couples stated, pretty much knew instantly that it was the venue for us. The venue is beautiful and photos do not do it justice. We loved the open plan styling which allowed all our guests to stay together throughout.

However the staff are what makes this place superb. The communication from our first visit is unparalleled. The constant communication and attention to the fine details are what makes this place special and deserving of the awards.

We knew the food would be good but they blew away our expectations on the day. If anyone is thinking of upgrading to the steak, do it!

I would like to make a special thank you to Amanda and Heidi who were our wedding coordinators on the day. They couldn’t have been more helpful and were always smiling.

Thank you for everything.

Kyle and Sarah.
