"Yesterday we were guests at Kate’s and Mike’s wedding. Your facility is a romantic vision of what a country can be. Great organisation of the property, good parking, several options of ancillary rooms, and brilliant views. This was a winter event so the outdoor space was just a view of sunlit snow dusted fields, come spring it will be even more amazing when the terraces can be used as well," Peter Horne. 3 February 2019

Wonderful charming barns
We had such an amazing wedding at at the Oak Barn Frame Farm. We fell in love straight away with the venue, it met all our criteria and more! We wanted a simple yet beautiful barn location and the Oal Barn Frame Farm was perfect. Amazingly renovated barns and sufficient space to house all my family, as they were.coming from abroad, that was a really important thing for us.
We decorated the barns as we wished, taking advantage of the rural setting. And on top of the setting that is so beautiful, the owners and their team is so helpful and caring, providing suggestions and aupport throughout. Our day was so magical and all our guests commented on our beautiful venue. 1000% recommended!

Rustic, beautiful and intimate
This beautiful venue was an easy choice for us! The staff are so kind and the venue has everything available to deliver an intimate ceremony, cool drinks reception spaces, barn for sit down meals and the party!

They were very accommodating to us and our needs and were very friendly to our 1 year old daughter!

It’s no corkage fee which is helping us keep the costs down!

The Oak Barn is just the cherry on top
We got married here in September 2019 and honestly had the best experience. Incredible venue, wonderful owners and truly amazing recommendations on suppliers. Beautiful grounds, stunning accommodation and the Oak Barn is just the cherry on top. Could not more highly recommend this for your special day.

we had our wedding here in April and Deana and Tim could not have been more helpful. We had a last minute cancellation issue with one of our providers and they bent over backwards to help us. Our day was wonderful and went so smoothly. Lovely venue and lovely people.

Our Beautiful Barn Wedding
We absolutely loved having our wedding at The Oak Barn, Frame Farm in early June 2019. Deana and Tim helped make our wedding such a special occasion, they were incredibly accommodating with all of our enquires, super friendly and easy to contact throughout our wedding planning process. We have received so many compliments from friends and family in relation to the Barn, many of whom were so incredibly amazed by how such a characterful venue could retain such charm and authenticity while having been modernised to such an incredibly high standard.
