The Oak Barn, Frame Farm

Due
to the constantly changing regulations on weddings due to Covid-19, we unfortunately didn’t yet have the chance to celebrate our wedding at the Oak Barn.
We can though share how an amazing experience we have had so far despite the postponement of our wedding.
Tim and Deana have been truly amazing, flexible and caring for us. Always putting our wishes and need first.
All meetings have been a pleasure and always led to agreement on what is the best for us. We have had constant support in each step of the organisation and also to rearrange
all for next year. We have full confidence that we will have a blast when we finally can celebrate our wedding there.
Thanks so much to both Tim and Deana for their amazing service and dedication. The venue is absolutely beautiful !
Can’t wait to celebrate next year.

We were lucky enough to get married at The Oak Barn, Frame Farm in October 2020 and would highly recommend this amazing venue to anyone planning a wedding or other special event. The Oak Barn and the on-site cottages have been beautifully renovated and restored to the highest standards, combining luxury and comfort. The owners Tim & Deana were a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning, and although we unfortunately had to postpone our original April wedding plans due to the pandemic, they made such a positive difference to our wedding planning (and re-planning!) experience through these difficult times. They are understanding, flexible and so helpful, always responding quickly and positively to any queries and working with us to plan our special day. We decided to go ahead with our ‘mini-wedding’ this year and enjoyed a small, intimate celebration with our close family – the venue is perfectly suited to smaller scale events as well as larger weddings and we’ll be returning next year for the big party and wedding reception with all of our original guests – we cannot wait!

We had an August wedding here and couldn't recommend it more. This venue was everything we hoped for and the day was perfect.
Where to start... the Oak Barn itself is beautiful. If you have a barn in mind this will be how it looks. Plus, it's been upgraded with smart lighting and a great sound system. It has a bar space inside you can use, plus lots of nice touches - like tables made from a tree on site.
We also made use of the byre for the ceremony itself. Lovely open views of the fields (we wanted the sheep to be visible which they kindly helped facilitate) and it opens onto a terrace for refreshments afterwards. Using this made it super easy for us as the Barn could already be set up for us to use for the breakfast. No stress setting it up between ceremony and food.
We also loved the cottages on site and used them before and after the day. They've been furnished to a great standard and the convenience of being on site both nights cannot be overstated.
The outside spaces are perfect for pictures, and combined with the nice weather meant everyone had a wonderful time mingling.
Finally, Tim and Deana were the best hosts, giving us helpful suggestions and supporting us throughout the stressful planning. Plus, their dog is the best!!

All in all this venue literally ticked every box for us. And it was the second one we looked at! Don't hesitate to use it if you like what you see.

We had our wedding at Frame Farm in July this year. The venue has been converted with amazing attention to detail and the overall setting is idyllic. Both the inside and outdoor areas provided such great spaces for all aspects our day. The Byre gave us an intimate feel to the ceremony and accommodated our 100+ guests comfortably. The terrace was great for post ceremony drinks and was a secondary space for guests after our meal in the main barn. The courtyard enabled our guests to choose to relax outside or spend time on the dance floor. Tim and Deana were very helpful and attentive through our whole planning process and supported all our suppliers on the day. The accommodation for guests on site is stunning and helped make the whole weekend just perfect. I would have no hesitation recommending the venue and really encourage couples to opt to have the farm for the whole weekend, it made the day so less stressful and rushed.

We had our wedding at Frame Farm, on the 26/05/19. The location is incredibly idyllic, set in the beautiful Kent countryside, all of our guests were blown away with how amazing the venue was.

Tim and Deana allowed us to visit the venue with our friends, family, caterers, photographer etc on numerous occasions, which made the preparation so much easier and they were on hand to assist or answer any questions when needed, over the entire period.

We would recommend this venue to anyone, it's a perfect setting for such a special day and run by a lovely couple.

I can’t sing The Oak Barn’s praises enough! We were let down by our first wedding venue and I’m grateful for that every day, because it meant we discovered this beautiful gem!

We wanted a rustic, boho wedding in a venue with character & The Oak Barn delivered. It’s architecture is incredible and the owners Tim & Deana have rebuilt it to an incredibly high standard - the underfloor heating and log burner were perfect for keeping our guests toasty warm on a grey spring day!

The Oak Barn is the perfect blank canvas for designing your dream wedding day. It has two barns and we used both to ensure everything flowed seamlessly. There’s also five holiday cottages on site, which was perfect for accommodating our wedding party.

Tim & Deana were the perfect hosts; always quick to reply and incredibly flexible with our requests. They were very happy to let us create the day we want, allowing little touches like giving guests sparklers to light our way into the main barn for the start of the evening do.

All the furnishings are finished to an incredibly high standard and we needed to do very little to decorate the venue - we just added mix & match vases of flowers and tea lights for a touch of colour and sparkle.

The main Barn has a raised stage that was perfect for making sure everyone could see the speeches and also giving space for our wedding band to set up in the evening.

Tim & Deana have put a lot of care and attention into the grounds too, with lots of lovely outdoor photo opportunities including an ornamental pond. The small barn backs onto rolling fields and our daughter loved watching all the sheep grazing!

Everything about The Oak Barn has been carefully thought out, from using reclaimed materials and sustainable processes where possible to ensure it is environmentally friendly, to creating luxury little touches. The bridal cottage was a decadent place to spend our wedding night with nice toiletries and the most comfy duvet and pillows we’ve ever used!

It’s also great that the venue is exclusive hire and gated off. We could let our daughter wander freely without fear of traffic, and she loved being able to toddle around the next morning, going back to see the sheep one last time.

Basically, if you’re looking for a beautiful backdrop to create your own wedding your way, The Oak Barn is ideal. Not only will you have flexibility and creativity to make your wedding personal, you’ll have fun doing it as Tim & Deana are so wonderful and helpful to deal with. I just wish we could do it all over again!

Oak barn, I just wanted to pass on our thanks for making our day! The barn and the cottages are beautiful and the whole venue was absolutely spectacular. The views, the sunset, the sheep. I could go on and on.
Tim and Deana were on hand throughout the day and nothing was ever to much trouble, even allowing us to land a helicopter in one of the fields! They worked well with all other suppliers and made out day seamless.
I stayed in one of the cottages the night before the wedding which was perfect, waking up in the peaceful and beautiful surroundings just started the day off in the best way.
All of our guests commented on the venue, remarking how perfect it was.
We can’t revolve them highly enough.

Deana, Tim and the Oak Barn team gave us everything we could have hoped for and more on our wedding day. Through a challenging couple of years due to Covid, Deana and Tim were so understanding and accommodating with our postponement and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They provided the perfect amount of input whilst also allowing us the freedom to make the day exactly what we wanted it to be. The Oak Barn is a beautiful place to get married. The barn, the byre and the surroundings are spectacular and we got some gorgeous wedding photos as a result. The accommodation was really high spec and had everything we needed. We couldn’t recommend the Oak Barn highly enough and are so grateful to Tim and Deana for everything they did for us to make our wedding day so special.

My new husband (!) and I got married at The Oak Barn, Frame Farm on Saturday 28th August 2021. We first visited the year before and, from the minute we arrived, we just knew this was where we wanted to get married. Frame Farm truly is a hidden gem; the wonderful rustic farm buildings on the outside have been renovated beautifully on the inside (e.g. smart lighting, sound system, in-house microphones etc.). The surrounding green fields give a lovely openness, and we loved the fact that our wedding wouldn't be constricted to just one room for the whole day; we had full use of the Farm which gave us such flexibility and allowed us to be creative to arrange the day however we liked. It was wonderful seeing people on the day explore the grounds, finding their own places to chat and mingle, and really made it feel like the Farm was "ours" for the day. The fact there are beautiful cottages on site that our family could stay in on the wedding night was such a bonus - and really made us all feel "at home." One of the things we loved most was that The Oak Barn itself is such a stunning space inside and needed very little in terms of decorating (which is highly unusual for a reception venue). Planning a wedding during a pandemic was a little stressful - to say the least! - but Tim and Deana were consistently supportive and patient, and made us feel really taken care of. They gave great recommendations for local suppliers and tips on how best to utilise the space, and were patient as last minute changes cropped up as the day grew closer. The day itself was perfect, and we'd pick Frame Farm over and over. We're incredibly sad it's all over but are so happy we have the wonderful memories. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Oak Barn to anyone, it truly is a very special place.

We recently got married at the Oak Barn after postponing from last year.
It was truly the most incredible day in such a beautiful location. The whole venue is amazing, with gorgeous views, two beautiful barns and accommodation on site. Tim, Deana and Polly were nothing but helpful, changing our date and accommodating us multiple times for different viewings. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue to anybody!

We got married at The Oak Barn on Sunday and we literally had the BEST day ever. The venue, including the accommodation cottages, are absolutely stunning and everything was perfect for our big day. Tim and Deana were amazing throughout the whole planning process - especially as we had to postpone multiple times due to Covid. We wish we could do it all again and we would pick The Oak Barn over and over without any doubts. Thank you Tim and Deana for everything!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding reception at The Oak Barn in July 2021 and I can't recommend it highly enough! It's absolutely beautiful, there's so much space and variety and the team and incredible too.

Where do I start?! We were due to get married at a different venue last year but due to Covid, we ended up in a position where we had to start from scratch. We found The Oak Barn through Google and from the first email they were so accommodating. They completely understood the awful situation we now found ourselves in and put our minds at ease that they would not leave us in the same position if our wedding had to be cancelled again. They allowed us to visit the venue as many times as we'd like which was extremely useful, especially in the 3-4 months leading up to the wedding. Any question I had would always be answered quickly - they were also very happy to accommodate a new supplier that wasn't part of their usual list.
Our wedding fell within the four weeks that weddings were uncapped with guest numbers but still had Covid restrictions and from the moment of the Government announcement, they were transparent and communicative about what we could and couldn't do, helping to put our minds at ease.
We stayed in the cottages the night before and the night of the wedding which were beautiful. We were lucky enough to be the first people to stay in the newest cottage which has been refurbished to the highest standard. We would definitely stay here as a holiday!
The venue is absolutely stunning and Tim, Deana and the rest of the team were friendly, professional and so accommodating at every stage. We feel very lucky (especially compared to our previous venue!) that we found them and were able to get married here - we had the most perfect day. Thank you for everything!

Tim and Deana were great from the beginning, we were able to view the venue multiple times and also with other family members to help confirm our decision. They reply quickly to emails and have a lot of experience. You get a very personal service from the Oak Barn.

We first saw The Oak Barn in 2019 and knew it was where we wanted to have our wedding ceremony and reception. It is such a beautiful venue and setting offering so much flexibility with the two barns and accommodation on site. Deana and Tim were so understanding when we had to postpone twice due to restrictions. Their communication with us has always been really prompt and informative. We finally had our micro wedding this summer in The Byre and it was fabulous! The day ran so smoothly and we cannot wait for our original weekend plans to happen next year. Thank you!
