We had our wedding at Stratton Court Barn in July and we really can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. The setting is beautiful, the rooms fabulously set out, Karin, who organises, everything, yes everything, there was nothing that she wouldn’t or couldn’t do, was incredibly helpful, professional, totally unobtrusive and calming before and on the day.
We had 80 guests to the day and 150 in total to the evening, the venue was so flexible, although Karin could recommend excellent suppliers, we were also able to use our own. That included florists, caterers, make-up artist the lot! Karin also kept her word that there would never be a dry glass in the house, which contributed to a few sore heads the next day but to one great celebration.
All of our guests commented on how amazing the venue was, to the point that they felt that they were celebrating in our home as it was so relaxed, very personal and full of fun and love. Which is exactly the atmosphere we were hoping to create.
We would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone, it really did exceed all that we imagined our day to be.
Thank you to Karin and her amazing team

All I can say is a massive thank you to Karin and the team for everything they did for us on our wedding day. I couldn't believe that I actually had to do nothing
on the day... it felt so strange, but I was 100% confident that they had it all in hand. All the guests have commented on how smoothly the day ran, and
that is down to them. So thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Karin & Team for all your hard work and patience!
