We just received the loveliest five star Google and review from Bronwyn and Sam who tied the knot here a last week! 🍂✨

“We had the most perfect day at Stratton Court Barn celebrating our wedding. It was the most magical day! We got ready there in the morning and we were looked after so well by the venue staff for the whole day. The bar was brilliant and our wedding co-ordinator, Zoë, was beyond perfect. She made everything happen behind the scenes, ensured everything ran to time and was generally a wonderful presence throughout our day. Everything flowed like clockwork and we were supported through each and every moment of our day. We loved every minute of our wedding in such a beautiful venue with such a lovely team. Thank you so much for making our wedding day more than we could have ever hoped for!”

We are soooo blushing over here! It was a stunning autumnal celebration filled with love, laughter, and beautiful memories. We’re so happy for you both and feel honoured to have been part of their special day! 🧡💍

🍂 A Magical November Wedding 🍂

There’s something special about tying the knot in November. The crisp Autumn air sets the stage for a day full of romance, and the vibrant colours of the season paint the perfect backdrop. Imagine golden leaves drifting gently to the ground, the smell of wood smoke in the air, and the warmth of The Byre’s cosy log fire inviting your guests inside.

This is a lovely set of photos from of the lovely Rachel and Allan’s special day a couple of years ago. We love the shots of the last hues of autumn still lingering on the trees. The colours! 🧡💛❤️

🍁✨ If you’re dreaming of an autumn wedding full of warmth, charm, and unforgettable moments, our barn is the perfect place to say “I do.”

We Love Reviews! ☺️⭐️

The wonderful Shannon and Jordan who got married with us over the summer left us a blush-inducing review on Hitched, which we couldn’t resist sharing:

“We had our wedding July this year with Charlotte as our wedding co-ordinator. From the minute we saw the venue and met the staff we knew this was the venue we wanted for our wedding. The venue is gorgeous and has the most beautiful grounds also. The whole process from first visiting to the day of our wedding was so relaxed. Communication is 100% and the staff are very flexible in making sure the day suits your wishes. We could not have wished for a better wedding co-ordinator than Charlotte, and all our family and friends commented on how amazing she was. Charlotte did not miss anything, and we couldn’t have imagined the day running as smoothly without her! Nothing was too much and we are forever grateful. The whole venue has such a warm and family friendly atmosphere (even for dogs!). Thank you for giving us the wedding we dreamed of! X” 🥰

Thanks both so much for these kind words. Your wedding was beautiful! And stunning memories shot by - that rainbow!

Wedding Barn Decor - How Would You Do Yours? 😍

We love seeing how our main barn gets transformed for every wedding ceremony and it always looks beautiful no matter how lavish or simple the designs are. It has its very own rustic charm which gets an added burst of our couples personalities. Here are a few examples of decor choices. Bold, simple, beautiful.🤘🏻

Our barn has a high ceiling - drapes create a softer look and feel. Or add fairy or festoon lights to create a warm enchanting glow. Or take the barn down an even more rustic vibe and flood the ceiling with foliage and flowers. Adding fabric to the backs of chair can add to the feeling of intimacy,

And a wedding without flowers? It doesn’t exist! But you can keep it simple or go big: flower arches, table centrepieces, petals on the floor. Or subtle greenery. It all adds to the magic.

Have you recently got engaged? Or have you been looking for a while for the perfect place for your big day? 🥰Come and jo...

SWEET DECISIONS: Tips for Choosing the Perfect Wedding Cake 🍰😋

Selecting your wedding cake is a fun journey that combines taste, style, and a touch of personal flair.

We’ve picked up some tips from our amazing suppliers over the years and so thought we’d give you share what we know about choosing the perfect cake for your day: belowi

1. Start early and book a reputable baker, someone recommended is usually best.
2. Set a clear budget.
3. Be inspired, but be realistic with your design. Bring in examples that you’ve seen that you like, but not too many!
4. Schedule tastings to find your favourite flavours.
5. Think about matching your cake design to your wedding theme
6. Consider your guests’ dietary needs.
7. Choose a size that fits your guest list.
8. Think about the season
9. Add personal touches and perhaps a memorable topper.
10. Plan the delivery and setup.
11. And don’t afraid to be bold! Bold colours, unusual shapes, cool textures and patterns. Go really big on cake size and height or really small with mini cakes
12. Go with your gut instinct!
13. Save some for you! Ask the caterers to keep some cake back for you as often the bride and groom miss out on the cake on the day. 
14. And finally…Always save a piece of each tier for the next day to enjoy with a cup of tea! 🫖😋

Trust your baker to bring your vision to life, and enjoy a cake that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.
Here’s to a sweet start to your forever! 💍✨

No one (well not many!) want rain on their wedding day but when it happens we like to think that there is a beauty and magic in it - and Tash and James (congrats both, what a gorgeous day it was!) certainly embraced it during their recent wedding here. And the wedding wellies! We love these shots from ! 😍🌧️

A rainy Spring or Summer wedding day here at Stratton Court Barn is filled with romance and charm that only drizzle can bring. The soft raindrops on the barn roof add a serene backdrop to the celebrations and the lush greenery around the barn, glistening with fresh rain, makes it look like a painting coming to life.✨

The rain outside contrasts beautifully with the warmth inside, making the barn feel like a magical haven. And who doesn’t love the comforting scent of summer rain?

Umbrellas and wellies, coordinated with the wedding theme, can also work brilliantly for photos, adding a playful and memorable element to the event.

So for us. rain only enhances the romance, turning an already special day into an unforgettable, heartwarming experience. You’ll still hear us saying “rain rain go away” but when it comes - we go with it!🌧️🫶🏻💖

Stepping into Forever: The Aisle Walk Rehearsals 💍✨🙌🏻

Here at Stratton Court Barn we’ve got you every literal step of the way, and one thing we do if you get ready here is practice “the walk’!

Last month Shawnee and her beautiful bridal party did just that - swipe for the before! 🥰

Walking down the aisle is more than just a ceremonial stroll; it’s a timeless moment that sets the tone for the entire wedding. For both the bride and her bridesmaids, this walk symbolises grace and the beginning of a new chapter. ❤️

As a bride you might be full of nervous excitement, but each step taken in unison by your bridesmaids symbolises their unwavering support and love they have for you as you embark on this next journey. And the rehearsal is also a lot of fun.

It’s a moment you’ll cherish forever, a ritual that encapsulates the essence of the wedding journey and a symbolic step towards the future.

Huge congrats Shawnee and Peter - and well done ladies! 👏🏻 👩🏻‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏻

Our Story

It’s 1995. Chris & Cathy buys a slightly dilapidated farmhouse, with a full size barn for tractor storage, a smaller barn perfect for general storage - once the sheep have moved out - a workshop, and the deciding factor: a forest rally course.

2000. The London Rally School goes from strength to strength. The demand for corporate events dictates the tractor barn being converted to an indoor meeting space. Underfloor heating is laid and full-size windows replace the barn doors. The tractor moves outside.

2013. Three couples have begged Chris & Cathy to get married in their barn. With their success behind them, Chris & Cathy’s son Jonathan starts thinking about launching Stratton Court Barn as a wedding venue. The tractor moves behind the barn.

January 2014. Karin Tindall starts working for Chris, Cathy and Jonathan. Slightly jaded from years of doing weddings in traditional “wedding factory” venues, the thought of being part of a venue from scratch fully restores the batteries. Extensive renovations of the smaller barn commences.
