Alternatively, couples can get married in their local Church and come to The Great Barn for their wedding reception. The Great Barn has a licensed bar, can seat up to 120, but can equally be tailored to suit much smaller parties, ultimately offering a truly flexible wedding venue solution.
We have a beautiful dressing room where you can prepare and get changed in, and this is available for your sole use throughout the day.
Outside, you can enjoy the garden and acres of fields looking across the picturesque countryside which provide the perfect backdrop for your wedding day photographs.
The Great Barn boasts a truly gorgeous and romantic honeymoon suite within The Garden Cottage with amazing views of the rolling Oxfordshire countryside.
Wedding guests at The Great Barn are wowed with delicious and mouth-watering food which is created by our super talented in-house team of chefs.
The Great Barn is exclusively yours as we do not take multiple wedding bookings for the same day, which gives you the freedom to be totally relaxed throughout your special day.
