*** Postponed Wedding ***
I can't praise the Oak Barn, Frame Farm highly enough. My partner and I were due to be Married there in 2020. We’ve had to change our plans and dates multiple times due to lockdowns and travel restrictions. Repeatedly postponing a Wedding has been frustrating, but it's been made so much easier by Deana, Tim and Polly, whose communication, efficiency, kindness, patience and support have been tireless. We haven't had our Wedding yet, but wanted to leave a review to say how brilliant the team have been and how wonderful the venue is. For the past year, we’ve been living down the road from the Oak Barn, and you can't help but gawp at this beautifully renovated, lovingly cared-for farm whenever you pass by. Every Season compliments the farm in its own way - the lambs in the Spring, the sunsets in the Summer (right over one of their fields), the colours in the Autumn, and the underfloor heating, wood-burner and fairy-lights wound around the old, oak-beams make it a magical Winter venue. It's a 5min walk to one of the best pubs in the area (The Bull - live music and pies), it's surrounded by footpaths through ancient woodland and 'areas of outstanding natural beauty', and Weavers Cottages and the Venue buildings and kitted out with everything you'd need to accommodate the perfect celebration or get-away. We’re very grateful to the Oak Barn team, and are so looking forward to celebrating our Wedding with them later this year.

It has been such an emotional year for everyone but distressing for you to go through so much uncertainty whilst planning such an important and joyful moment in your lives.
We are truly sorry that you have had to endure these disappointments and so many changes to your plans but it is great to hear that our flexibility and efforts have made this easier for you. We will continue to do everything we can and we know you will be rewarded with a magical day at The Oak Barn soon.

We were lucky enough to get married at The Oak Barn, Frame Farm in October 2020 and would highly recommend this amazing venue to anyone planning a wedding or other special event. The Oak Barn and the on-site cottages have been beautifully renovated and restored to the highest standards, combining luxury and comfort. The owners Tim & Deana were a pleasure to deal with from the very beginning, and although we unfortunately had to postpone our original April wedding plans due to the pandemic, they made such a positive difference to our wedding planning experience through these difficult times. They are understanding, flexible and so helpful, always responding quickly and positively to any queries and working with us to plan our special day. We decided to go ahead with our ‘mini-wedding’ this year and enjoyed a small, intimate celebration with our close family – the venue is perfectly suited to smaller scale events as well as larger weddings and we’ll be returning next year for the big party and wedding reception with all of our original guests – we cannot wait!

Read full responseThank you for your very kind words, Hannah. It was truly wonderful to be able to host your intimate wedding here at the farm after such a long wait. After such a difficult year and heartbreak for our lovely couples it was fabulous to see your love and bring joy back to the barns, which have been very quiet this year! We thought your ceremony in The Byre and reception in The Oak Barn worked beautifully for you and your guests. You have been a pleasure to deal with despite the difficult situation so we thank you for that, and we are also glad that we helped make the disappointment of your two postponements easier. We wish you both every happiness in your married life together and we have to admit to already being really excited about next year's wedding reception!

Awesome venue and amazing owners. Due to the constantly changing regulations on weddings due to Covid-19, we unfortunately didn’t yet have the chance to celebrate our wedding at The Oak Barn. We can though share how an amazing experience we have had so far despite the postponement of our wedding. Tim and Deana have been truly amazing, flexible and caring for us. Always putting our wishes and need first. All meetings have been a pleasure and always led to agreement on what is the best for us. We have had constant support in each step of the organisation and also to rearrange all for next year. We have full confidence that we will have a blast when we finally can celebrate our wedding there. Thanks so much to both Tim and Deana for their amazing service and dedication. The venue is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait to celebrate next year.

Would highly recommend. For anyone looking to book an event or wedding venue at the moment, I would highly recommend the Oak Barn, Frame Farm.
Due to restrictions, we made the difficult decision to postpone our wedding. Deana and Tim, who run the Oak Barn, have been absolutely amazing and supportive throughout. From the outset, they were extremely accommodating and have shown so much compassion, understanding and kindness.
We feel very fortunate to have selected this venue, not only for its beauty, but because of the safe hands we're in with such a down to earth couple. They clearly want our big day to be the best it can be and have made this difficult decision, a seamless process. As a result, we are now looking forward to getting married in 2021 at this spectacular venue, even more than before.

Stunning venue which ticked all the boxes for our December Winter Wedding. Deana and Tim were brilliant from start to finish. The natural beauty of the barn meant there was little additional decoration needed and having use of the Byre as well as the Barn allowed for rooms to be turned around at no inconvenience. The self catering cottages are of a high standard and were brilliant for our older guests to retreat to later in the night. We had a fantastic wedding day at the Oak Barn, are forever grateful for all of their help to make this possible and we highly recommend for future brides & grooms!

We had an August wedding here and couldn't recommend it more. This venue was everything we hoped for and the day was perfect.
Where to start... the Oak Barn itself is beautiful. If you have a barn in mind this will be how it looks. Plus, it's been upgraded with smart lighting and a great sound system. It has a bar space inside you can use, plus lots of nice touches - like tables made from a tree on site.
We also made use of the Byre for the ceremony itself. Lovely open views of the fields (we wanted the sheep to be visible which they kindly helped facilitate) and it opens onto a terrace for refreshments afterwards. Using this made it super easy for us as the Barn could already be set up for us to use for the breakfast. No stress setting it up between ceremony and food.
We also loved the cottages on site and used them before and after the day. They've been furnished to a great standard and the convenience of being on site both nights cannot be overstated.
The outside spaces are perfect for pictures, and combined with the nice weather meant everyone had a wonderful time mingling.
Finally, Tim and Deana were the best hosts, giving us helpful suggestions and supporting us throughout the stressful planning. Plus, their dog is the best!!
All in all this venue literally ticked every box for us. And it was the second one we looked at! Don't hesitate to use it if you like what you see.

We had our wedding at Frame Farm in July this year. The venue has been converted with amazing attention to detail and the overall setting is idyllic. Both the inside and outdoor areas provided such great spaces for all aspects our day. The Byre gave us an intimate feel to the ceremony and accommodated our 100+ guests comfortably. The terrace was great for post ceremony drinks and was a secondary space for guests after our meal in the main barn. The courtyard enabled our guests to choose to relax outside or spend time on the dance floor. Tim and Deana were very helpful and attentive through our whole planning process and supported all our suppliers on the day. The accommodation for guests on site is stunning and helped make the whole weekend just perfect. I would have no hesitation recommending the venue and really encourage couples to opt to have the farm for the whole weekend, it made the day so less stressful and rushed.
