YOUR OWN PRIVATE FARM ESTATE IN KENT:

Three barns, six luxury cottages, terraces, courtyard and 22 acres of countryside: Exclusively Yours for one day or more!

SETTING THE SCENE:

The Oak Barn, Frame Farm is an exclusive-use wedding venue for couples looking for privacy, flexibility and a celebration that is personal from beginning to end.

Set within a beautiful High Weald valley, this eco venue combines beautifully restored historic buildings with luxury accommodation and modern comforts. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering, a large celebration or a multiday weekend, Frame Farm gives you the freedom to make the day your own.

WHY COUPLES LOVE FRAME FARM:

One of the things couples tell us they love most is the flexibility. You can host your ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast, cocktail hour, evening party and overnight stay at the farm, without feeling confined to a single room or building all day. Our three barns each have their own character, giving your celebration a natural flow from one area to the next. The Oak Barn, Frame Farm is wonderfully secluded while offering plenty of space for guests to explore, relax and celebrate

CEREMONIES:

Licensed for ceremonies with up to 135 guests, choose from four stunning backdrops:

  • The Oak Barn - our magnificent, vaulted barn with oak beams and a glass frontage overlooking the courtyard
  • The Byre - an elegant, chapelesque barn which overlooks the sheep field and lily pond
  • The Byre’s Terrace - our outdoor ceremony area with views across the valley and our waterfall
  • Pole Barn - for a more rustic ceremony with a relaxed and fun countryside feel

FOOD & DRINK:

We offer several all-inclusive catering packages, but if you prefer a Bespoke menu then we have partnered with some exceptional caterers, allowing you to create a menu that suits your style and budget.

Our no-corkage policy gives you complete freedom over your drinks throughout the day, while evening bar options can be arranged through your chosen caterer.

STAY THE NIGHT

With six luxurious Weaver's Cottages sleeping up to 20 guests, your closest family and friends can stay on-site and make the most of your celebration.

For couples looking to slow things down and spend more time together, our multi-day wedding options allow you to turn one unforgettable day into an entire wedding experience.

Mr & Mrs Roff

The Oak Barn, Frame Farm is a lovely venue run by lovely people. Everyone was very helpful and professional. Chrystelle, Tim and Tembo looked after us throughout the whole build up and went above and beyond on our special day. I highly recommend this venue and the team behind it. Thank you.

Beautiful venue!!

From the moment we first visited, we knew this was the venue where we wanted to get married. The booking process was so simple, and every question we had was answered promptly—no query ever felt too small or silly.

Although it's a dry hire venue, they provide an excellent list of recommended suppliers, which gave us the perfect starting point when planning our day. We visited several times between booking and the wedding itself, and every visit was met with such a warm welcome. The whole team were always friendly, helpful, and happy to show us around.

A special mention has to go to Chrystelle, who is an absolute superstar. She worked seamlessly alongside our caterers and other suppliers, taking so much of the stress away in the lead-up to the wedding. Knowing everything was in such capable hands made all the difference.

All three barns are absolutely stunning, and we loved being able to make use of each of them throughout our day. The on-site accommodation is also beautiful and finished to an incredibly high standard. We already can't wait to book another stay so we can come back and relive the memories. ❤️

On the day itself, Tim was amazing. He made sure everything ran smoothly, ensuring no detail was overlooked. The care, organisation, and attention to detail from the entire team were exceptional.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped make our wedding so special. We truly had the most incredible day and couldn't have chosen a better venue. Thank you for giving us memories we'll cherish forever—we couldn't recommend you more highly!

Simply Stunning

From the very beginning, the team at the Oak Barn, Frame Farm were absolutely incredible. In the lead up to our wedding they were always so helpful with every question we had, no matter how big or small, and provided so many great ideas and suggestions that really helped bring everything together.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning — from the beautiful barn where we celebrated to the lovely cottages, which all of our guests loved staying in. Every part of the venue felt so special and created the perfect atmosphere for the whole weekend.

On the day itself, everything ran so smoothly and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment knowing we were in such good hands. Even when the weather turned and it started raining, they were completely prepared with umbrellas and kept everything running seamlessly.

What really stood out throughout the whole experience was how genuinely friendly, approachable and supportive everyone was. We felt so looked after from start to finish and couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team for our wedding day. We’d recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

The best wedding venue with the best team!

From the moment we saw the Oak Barn online, we fell in love with the venue! This love only got greater the minute we set foot on site with Tim welcoming us with open arms! We really felt like we’d been transported to another world! We booked the venue two years in advance for the weekend and throughout the lead up Deana, Chrystelle and the team were so helpful, always being around to answer our questions with none being too silly! Our wedding weekend couldn’t have gone any better with both Deana, Amanda and Tembo being fantastic throughout helping with any issues that may have arisen. We are so glad we booked the venue for the weekend as we were able to extend the celebrations with family and friends on the Friday and Sunday! All the guests on the day absolutely loved the venue and kept on going on about how beautiful it was with the perfect space for all the kids to run around! Who could forget the baby lambs and sheep who made the venue that much more magical! We would recommend the Oak Barn in a heartbeat to any couples looking for the perfect barn wedding! Thank you!!

The Perfect Wedding Venue!!!

The Oak Barn, Frame Farm is everything we could have wished for from a wedding venue, and so much more.

The venue has been renovated with so much love and attention to detail, and is clearly very well taken care of.

We genuinely didn't feel the need to fill the spaces with an abundance of flowers and other decorations, as the various locations really spoke for themselves - the classic interior of the Byre, the idyllic fields and pond that acted as the backdrop for the Byre Terrace, the large rustic Pole Barn, and the beautiful beams in the Oak Barn. The dry hire allows you to personalise your day to really reflect who you are as a couple, and their list of trusted suppliers was a brilliant asset.

As we were not local to the area, and we wanted to see the final set up before the day (to ease any nerves) we opted for beginning our booking on the Friday, then having our ceremony on the Saturday, and leaving on Sunday morning. This made setting up the venue run so smoothly, and being on-site meant we weren't worried about any potential traffic hold ups on the day! We also had friends travelling from all over the country, so the ability to have friends stay with us over the weekend in the cottages was another detail that made the experience perfect for us. The cottages themselves are well-decorated, and had everything we needed.

We knew the only thing we couldn't plan for with our wedding day was the weather, so we wanted to make sure there were plenty of options for our guests to stay dry during the day. Having the three covered venues - the Byre, the Pole Barn, and the Oak Barn, meant we didn't need to worry about potential bad weather, and also meant we had more choices of where to spend parts of our day.


The Byre Terrace made the perfect setting for our ceremony (which was blessed with glorious sunshine) but if it had rained, we would have been happy to use the Byre, and we were able to work with the team to ensure we had a plan in place for both scenarios - something that really put our minds at ease.

The Pole Barn was an excellent location for fairground games, cocktail hour, and ice cream in the evening.

We used The Oak Barn for our wedding breakfast and evening entertainment, and it was fantastic for both. We particularly liked how whilst it was all one big space, the open walls made the bar area and the back of the barn feel like different areas - we set up sofas in the area at the back of the barn, and they were very popular with those who needed a break from dancing during the evening.

We genuinely can't say enough about the team at The Oak Barn either - everyone made us feel so welcome, so special, and really seemed to care about our wedding. During the planning process, they helped us navigate the (sometimes confusing) world of weddings, and were available to answer any questions. Over our wedding weekend, they were so kind and attentive, and genuinely seemed excited for us.

We had the most special time, and we're so grateful to The Oak Barn for helping us make our dream wedding a reality!

Stunning setting, endless options, wonderful venue and Team

We knew from the first visit that we wanted to get married at the Oak Barn. We cannot thank Deana, Tim and team enough for making our wedding come to life and be all and more than we imagined. It was quite simply perfect.
They made the day so smooth with not a thing to worry about which really helped with any nerves. Also with the venue being so versatile there were a variety of wet weather options that did not compromise our vision (it being April). It was perfect for us to have to have the run of the whole place as we both have big families and wanted a relaxed feel.
Our guests were all blown away by the setting and all commented on how spectacular it is, the lambs were a big hit too! 
We had the Oak Barn for the weekend which made the whole wedding that little less stressful so we cant recommend them enough. Thank you!

Amazing venue!

We are so glad we choose the Oak Barn for our big day. From our very first visit, we knew it was the venue for us. We wanted somewhere beautiful and intimate where nature was at the forefront, and The Oak Barn had this in spades!
We can’t thank the whole team enough. From our many visits, discussions about space and style to recommending some truly amazing suppliers.
Communication was great throughout and you helped us to bring our vision to life. Seeing our perfect Autumnal day come together was so magical and we will treasure the memories made at this stunning venue forever.
We felt so relaxed knowing the running of the day was safe in your hands. There was so much laughter and happiness all day long.
It is such a special place, will be back to visit very soon and would highly recommend to any future bride and groom.

The oak barn - stunning

I first saw this venue online and knew it had everything we wanted; beautiful setting, indoor/outdoor ceremony spaces, exclusive use, dry hire, luxury accommodation for us and guests - rustic elegance at it’s finest. We did not expect to love it as much as we did as we had seen lots of venues at this point and still not found the one - we were blown away - it is just stunning! From the beautiful buildings, greenery for miles, privacy and impeccable attention to detail - The Oak Barn is the most breathtaking wedding venue we have ever seen.

The team at The Oak Barn are hands down, the friendliest, warmest people who are extremely accommodating and helpful throughout every step of wedding planning. Without them supporting us every step of the way, I do not know how we could have pulled off the most special day for us and our guests. Everyone is still talking about what a beautiful day it was and we put that all down to the team at The Oak Barn - thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

The most magical day, the most magical venue.

There are not enough words to describe how special and magical The Oak Barn Frame Farm is.
Chrystelle, Deana and Tim are amazing and became our new best friends over the year before our big day. They are fully invested in making your day perfect. Nothing was too much for them.
We were lucky enough to have the venue for 3 days (which we highly recommend!) The setting, the weather the different options for spaces was incredible. We loved every single moment and now its over we miss them all! We will be returning for a stay to enjoy those beautiful grounds again.
Thank you so so much.

Fantastic venue

The Oak Barn is an absolutely stunning venue and such a fundamental part of us having an even better wedding weekend than we expected. From the first minute it was immediately clear this was the place for us and we would heartily recommend to others.

Not only is it a beautiful, tranquil setting with lots of great spots for photos (including many sheep!), it offers so much flexibility. There are many different spaces you can make your own, allowing guests to move about the venue trhoughout the day, and it's possible to quickly adapt depending on the weather.

Critically for us, unlike many venues we visited, which felt like conveyor belts, the Oak Barn enabled such a personal wedding. From decorating it our way, to bringing in our own wine without corkage, to having goats on site for the day, there was so much scope to make this our own very special time.

That said, it's worth noting the flexibility means more work for you- you'll need to liase with lots of suppliers for things like tables and chairs, food and drink, and the DJ, which might be part of the package at other venues. But the work was so worth it, and made much smoother by the brilliant venue team. Chrystelle and colleagues were so helpful throughout the year of planning, super quick to respond to emails, willing to accomodate our ideas wherever they could, and always very friendly.

Finally, having the venue for the whole weekend (Fri noon - Sunday noon) was such an added bonus, allowing us to enjoy even more quality time with our wedding party.

Thank you all so much!

From the moment we booked, the entire team at Oak Barn were friendly, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. Communication was always easy and efficient getting in touch was never an issue.
What really stood out was the personal touch they added throughout the planning process. We truly felt at home and well looked after. The on-site accommodation was both comfortable and convenient, making everything even more relaxed for us and our guests.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning, a perfect countryside setting that matched everything we had hoped for in a wedding. On the big day, everything ran smoothly thanks to the amazing team. They coordinated seamlessly with our suppliers and took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. Chrystelle helped to create our day with site visits and emails and then was there on the day helping everything to run smoothly- she was so kind and helpful and we were so lucky to have her!
We were so impressed and grateful for all their hard work and support. We’ll definitely be revisiting to relive and remember our very special day.

Stunning location, beautiful venue, incredible day!

We held our wedding at the Oak Barn on Easter Sunday this year. We can't express how grateful we are to Chrystelle, Tim and Deana for our incredible day. From the moment we saw the venue for the first time we knew it was the one for us - even though we kept coming back for more visits! We loved every step of working together with them. The care and attention to detail was phenomenal. Nothing was too much trouble to make sure we had a stress-free day. The accommodation is stunning and made a huge difference for us to have some of our special guests on-site. We mostly used preferred suppliers and can not fault a single one of one, everything was completely impeccable. We had endless compliments about the venue, caterers, flowers and all the entertainment the team helped us to arrange. We want to do it all again and we hope we'll be back for another celebration!

Lots of love to an amazing team!!

The Perfect Happily Ever After

We had the absolute pleasure of celebrating our wedding at The Oak Barn, Frame Farm and it truly exceeded every expectation. From the moment we first visited the venue, we were captivated by it's stunning setting; nestled in the Kent countryside, the blend of beautifully restored barns, rolling hills and peaceful surroundings created the perfect backdrop for our special day.

The team at The Oak Barn were nothing short of incredible throughout the entire planning process. Warm, attentive and professional, they made us feel completely supported and understood. No detail was too small, and their calm expertise helped the whole day flow seamlessly.

The Oak Barn itself is breathtaking, full of natural light, rustic charm and elegant touches. It struck the perfect balance between intimate and spacious. Our guests were blown away and we are still getting so many compliments 2 weeks on about the beauty and uniqueness of the venue.

We also loved having the luxury accommodation. It allowed us to stay the whole weekend with our close family and friends, to relax and enjoy which made our whole weekend more memorable.

If you're dreaming of a countryside wedding that feels both timeless and personal, we could not recommend The Oak Barn, Frame Farm more highly. It's a truly special place that will forever hold a piece of our hearts.

A huge thank you to Chrystelle, Deana, Tim and Tembo for everything.

We're grateful to The Oak Barn for a fantastic wedding!

We had an all round excellent experience with The Oak Barn for our wedding and would strongly recommend. The team were responsive throughout and worked very closely with the caterers to coordinate everything on the day. The venue is beautiful and also enabled us to manage some surprise showers. I'd also recommend the onsite accommodation, which we initially thought was more on the expensive side, but turned out to be good value; enabling our families to be very close and in smart/modern/clean digs.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.

From the moment we first laid eyes upon Frame Farm, we were immediately captivated by its rustic charm, its derelict buildings and its idyllic location, and in that moment, we glimpsed its extraordinary potential. Ever since, our hearts have been set on breakthing new life into the then-neglected farmstead, embarking on a three-year jouney with our commitment to sustainability guilding every meticulous step of the restoration process.

Fun fact: We love adventure travel and are often on expeditions in remote regions or diving in the tropics. Deana is an accomplished sailor and sculptor, and Tim is a Guiness World Record holder, and has travelled overland from UK to Cape Town, Kathmandu and Timbuktu.

Best memory at the farm: Waking up to a gorgeous blanket of snow on the morning of our first wedding!
