Stratton Court Barn

Stratton Court Barn offers an idyllic exclusive use venue for your special wedding day. The property is nestled within 65 acres of stunning private land and formal gardens in the charming North Oxfordshire countryside, near Bicester and Oxford. We pride ourselves in our flexibility and would love for you to make the most of our gardens, grounds, lake, and woodlands. Facilities and Capacity The Main Barn is a beautifully intimate space, ideal for exchanging your vows. Built in 1872, it retains many of its original features, including oak beams, a vaulted ceiling, and a striking traditional stone structure, all of which lend a timeless charm to the setting - plus views over the breathtaking countryside. The barn's high ceilings and focal point arch create a stunning backdrop for ceremonies, blending classic elegance with modern touches. The Byre is our newest space - a breathtaking barn space with a hint of industrial charm. Doors open onto the courtyard and at the heart of the room is a striking fireplace, creating a cosy and inviting ambiance. Whether adorned with round tables or rustic long tables, this unique space seamlessly combines rustic character with contemporary style. The venue is licensed to hold civil ceremonies indoors, in the Main Barn or The Byre, and outdoors in Ferne Wood, The Courtyard or the Rose Garden. For the ceremonies our Main Barn can host up to 90 seated guests and The Byre up to 130 seated guests, with capacity up to 175 for the evening reception. Gorgeous Granary cottage is available to stay in on the night of your wedding. The cottage interior matches the classic yet contemporary style of the barn with flagstone floors, wood burning stove, two bedrooms with luxurious double beds, and a wet room stocked with The White Company products. The Hayloft wedding preparation room, designed in farmhouse-luxe style is the perfect place to get ready on the morning of your wedding from 8.30am. Airy and comfortable, with designer furniture and decor, full length mirrors, phone chargers and private en-suite bathroom, it’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy time with those closest to you while the anticipation builds Food is at the heart of every wedding, and we are passionate about delicious food that’s prepared using locally sourced and exceptional quality produce.
