Setting
Stratton Court Barn is an exclusive-use countryside venue located at Pool Farm, set amidst 70 acres of rolling Oxfordshire countryside. Despite its rural setting, the venue is only 10 minutes from the market town of Bicester, which offers excellent train links to London and Birmingham and is conveniently close to the M40 and A34.
Upon entering the venue via a picturesque tree-lined drive, guests are surrounded by the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. Originally built in 1870, the barn has been thoughtfully refurbished to retain its rustic charm, making it an ideal location for intimate, relaxed, and joyful celebrations.
Whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony and fine-dining experience with your closest friends and family or raising the roof with a large and lavish celebration, a wedding at Stratton Court Barn is a truly exceptional experience.
Ceremony
Stratton Court Barn offers licensed indoor, outdoor and woodland wedding ceremony spaces, providing couples with numerous options for their “I do” moment.
The venue offers Barns, Courtyard, Rose Garden, and Woodland ceremony options, each with exquisite interior design and landscaped grounds. For those who dream of a woodland wedding, the venue’s licensed wedding woodland offers a magical setting. A short stroll across the meadow leads to a copse that forms a natural aisle, guiding couples to an oak-framed hexagon gazebo where vows can be exchanged under a canopy of greenery.
Reception
Your reception at Stratton Court Barn is held in a modern and stylish bar area designed for evening celebrations. The space features a glittering granite bar, grey tones, sleek glass, and chrome accents, creating a contemporary atmosphere perfect for dancing into the night-paired with some fabulous cocktails, of course! The venue welcomes you to invite your own wedding DJ, rock band, or disco-they also know some great ones if you need some help!
Accommodation
When the dance floor has emptied, the clock’s struck twelve, and you don’t want your magical night to end, why not extend your celebrations with an overnight escape to the couple’s hideaway? Granary Cottage is a two-bedroom cottage that Cathy lovingly refurbished and redesigned in 2021. Its interior now matches the classic yet contemporary style of the barn-and the barn is rather stylish!
In Granary Cottage, you’ll find a fitted kitchen, flagstone floor, wood-burning stove, two bedrooms with luxurious double beds, and a wet room stocked with The White Company products.
Furthermore, you won’t have to worry about linens, towels and cleaning -they will take care of that! The only decision you have to make is whether to stay in bed and admire the countryside views or get up, grab a coffee and go for a leisurely country walk while reminiscing about the incredible day you’ve just had.
Food & Drink
Stratton Court Barn places food at the heart of every wedding celebration, focusing on locally sourced, seasonal, and sustainable produce.
Sustainability is at the core of who they are and what they do: The people, the business and the practices. So, with this in mind, they’ve searched high and low for the best local caterers North Oxfordshire and surrounding areas have to offer. The venue offers complete flexibility in choosing caterers, with six approved options ranging from informal Mexican fiestas to five-course fine dining experiences. Evening catering can include food trucks or pop-ups offering options such as wood-fired pizzas, BBQs, paella, and other late-night snacks.
The venue also boasts an outstanding selection of drinks, including local beers (including Hawkstone!), wines, spirits (including local gins Cotswolds and TOAD), handcrafted cocktails (with garnishes from the kitchen garden!) and delicious non-alcoholic options. For extra variety, pop-up bars or stations can be added.
Planning your drinks menu is a breeze; you can select the drinks you’d like to offer during your drinks reception, wedding breakfast, and toast. And when it’s time to hit the dance floor, a cash bar or a bar tab can keep the party going.
