A Dreamy Summer Wedding at Stratton Court Barn

There’s something timelessly romantic about a summer wedding—the warm sun casting its golden glow, the gentle breeze carrying laughter, and the scent of blooming flowers filling the air. At Stratton Court Barn, nestled in the idyllic Oxfordshire countryside, these dreamy moments come to life with unparalleled charm. Let me take you back to Shannon & Jordan's wedding in July, and yes, these guys are the icons from that beach shoot!

The Venue: A Perfect Blend of Rustic and Elegant

Stratton Court Barn is more than just a venue; it’s an experience. The barn’s historic stone walls and timber beams create a warm, rustic atmosphere, while the beautifully landscaped gardens offer a serene setting perfect for an open-air ceremony or cocktail reception. The large, panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light, allowing the outdoors to blend seamlessly with the indoor space—a perfect fit for a summer celebration.

The Ceremony

Shannon and Jordan exchanged their vows in the beautiful barn, with the countryside stretching into the horizon. Stratton Court Barn offers the flexibility to host your ceremony outdoors in their lush garden area, or indoors under the rustic beams for a more intimate ambiance. Whether bathed in sunlight or softly lit by hanging fairy lights, every ceremony here feels uniquely personal. All finished off with the magic from Rachael at WildRose Florist and her floral arch!

Reception Highlights

As the sun sets and the sky takes on hues of pink and orange, the celebration continues inside the barn. In their latest space, The Byre, guests can enjoy a feast of seasonal dishes, lovingly prepared by top-tier caterers who understand the essence of summer dining—fresh, colourful, and bursting with flavour. The open-plan space ensures an easy flow from dining to dancing, with plenty of room for a live band or DJ to keep the energy up.

Picture-Perfect Memories

For couples who dream of breathtaking wedding photos, Stratton Court Barn delivers on every level. The sprawling lawns, wildflower-dotted pathways, and historic architecture offer a variety of scenic backdrops. A sunset shoot by the rolling fields captures that golden-hour glow, ensuring memories that will last a lifetime. We couldn't really complete their wedding portraits without their fur baby - Sunny! There is nothing better than dogs at weddings, period.

Final Thoughts

A wedding at Stratton Court Barn is more than a day—it’s a celebration of love set against the timeless beauty of the English countryside. With its inviting spaces, stunning views, and tailored approach to each couple’s vision, it’s easy to see why this venue remains a favorite for couples seeking a mix of rustic charm and modern elegance.
