The Grounds
Let us take you on a virtual wander.
Green and gorgeous outdoor spaces
Views over the rolling Oxfordshire countryside; a sense of serenity and being in your own private world; beautiful photo opportunities galore. If these are on your dream wedding checklist, then the grounds and gardens at Stratton Court Barn are about to make you very happy indeed. Let us take you on a virtual wander through our green and gorgeous outdoor spaces…
The Rose Garden
The Rose Garden will be one of the first things your guests see as they walk through from the car park. This is our formal garden, lit up with splashes of colour for much of the year, and it’s a brilliant part of our grounds for couple portraits and group photos. This area is licensed for ceremonies with 130 capacity.
The Courtyard
From the Rose Garden, move through to the Tuscan style courtyard, the perfect space for canapés and catching up. With Festoon lighting, parasols and late night gatherings round the fire pit this is where you can spend your drinks reception and later watch the sunset too! This area is licensed for ceremonies with 130 capacity.
Enhance your courtyard drinks reception with one or more of these:
Oak gazebo with cushy lounge furniture year round
Oversized cream parasols on sunny days
Fire pit with rustic benches at night
‘Beer barrow’ filled with ice and bottled beer
A food truck in the evening to keep hunger well and truly at bay
Twinkling fairy light canopy
Reception Lawn
The barn also boasts a front garden that we affectionately call the Reception Lawn. A brilliant place for lawn games and group photos.
Ferne Wood
From the Reception Lawn and Courtyard, you have the most glorious view across Frank’s Field, with Ferne Wood on the other side. A short stroll across will give you the most heavenly photo opportunities. If you’ve got your heart set on an outdoor ceremony, we’ve got you covered with our licensed Woodland Weddings offering with 130 capacity for ceremonies. For more information, have a look here: Woodland Wedding.
The Lake
Also nestled in our grounds is a lake. It’s small but perfectly formed, and it makes for a stunning backdrop at golden hour, especially on the little bridge over to Rory Island. Feeling extra adventurous? Take a turn around the island with your beloved in our rowing boat ‘Poppy’.
