What an incredible venue and experience! Thank you really isn't enough.
From the venue tour and planning meetings to the big day, Karin was amazing at bringing our dreams to life.
She walked us through what our wedding would look like to the minute on our first visit and we were both in awe at her organisation and the beautiful venue. We knew instantly that Stratton Court Barn was the venue for our wedding. Although planning our wedding during a pandemic was difficult, Karin kept us informed and supported us throughout. In our planning and final meeting, Karin talked about all the different facets of the day, including elements we hadn't thought of. Thanks to her support in the planning and on the day, the wedding ran more perfectly than we could have imagined.
The venue has so many beautiful views, from the garden to the courtyard, the fields to the lake and the traditional barn, we had so many different backdrops for our photos. The bar, ceremony room and seperate stables room gave us all the different spaces that we needed for our day.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making it the best day of our lives.
A big thanks to Karin and her team, we want to do it all over again.
Rachel and Iain

We had our wedding at Stratton Court Barn on 14th August 2021 and could not have asked for a more special day or more beautiful location. Karin was amazing at making sure that our day ran to plan and on time. During the build up Karin was great at insuring that we were updated on any changes due to COVID. For anyone looking for a barn wedding with an amazing outdoor space, I can not recommend SCB enough. Thank you for making our day so special.

We had our wedding in May 2021 at Stratton Court Barn and we had the most perfect day.

The wedding coordinator Karin was endlessly helpful on the run-up to the day and she and her team made the venue look exactly how we'd hoped and had the day running seamlessly. Karin kept us up-to-date with what the latest COVID guidance meant for our day and no query was too small. She's also a great person to have there on the day, not just because of how expertly she runs the day but because she's great fun.

Stratton Court Barn has a very special place in our hearts.
