The most memorable weddings are those with energy. A rare energy which quickly gathers momentum and grows in confidence, until it becomes an unstoppable celebration of love, laughter and excitement. We believe in the power of design! No more long and narrow rooms, broken and separate spaces or inaccessible outdoor areas. We are a contemporary barn conversion, “one of a kind” impeccably designed with open plan and connected spaces, home to the most enjoyable celebrations! Stretton Manor Barn was lovingly built back in 2020 exclusively for weddings. The luxuriously designed open plan spaces and 8m bifold doors lead you to panoramic views of the surrounding Derbyshire countryside. Natural rustic materials including reclaimed stonework, traditional timber cladding and handcrafted oak furniture provide a beautiful contrast to the soft, contemporary, and refined bar and lounge interior. We offer you the choice of an indoor or outdoor wedding ceremony for up to 100 guests, a capacity of 140 guests for a wedding banquet and up to 160 guests throughout the evening. You can enjoy exclusive use of the barn and all couples have access for photographs within a further 22 acres of private grass meadows and wonderful native hedgerows. Fairy lights, chandeliers, freestanding firepits and outdoor heaters all help to give the barn a beautiful and natural glow. If like us, you are a family of “Foodies”, you will appreciate those rare occasions when you enjoy a truly exceptional meal. Your wedding breakfast is the greatest celebration of your life together, a special gathering of your closest friends and family, a pinnacle moment and this one has to be extra special.

The perfect venue

Stretton Manor Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding day in November this year. Amanda and the team were quick to answer our queries and offer reassurance throughout the planning stage. We had a large wedding with over 90 day guests but the venue was the perfect size for a cosy winter wedding. The food was incredible and all guests commented on it being the best wedding food they'd ever had. Amanda kept the whole day on track and her team were always on hand. We wish we could do it all over again!

The Most Wonderful Venue

Had my wedding here in July and it couldn't have been more perfect! Amanda and Heidi were absolutely wonderful - they kept my Groom from stressing out too much, navigated some tricky moments with one of our vendors and made sure the day ran smoothly even though me and my bridal party ended up running a bit late. They were so accommodating to every request, both prior to and on the day, the canapé evenings were perfect in helping us choose our menu, and everyone we spoke to who works at the venue could not have been kinder through the entire process. It made things SO so simple when it came to planning as they took care of so many things for us. If we could do it all again, we'd choose Stretton Manor Barn every time! The food was incredible and I think we've ruined all future weddings for our guests as they are still telling us how delicious the food was. We really couldn't have asked for any more from them as they were so truly wonderful and made our day incredible <3

Incredible venue

We had our wedding day at Stretton Manor Barn on the 10th November. It is a stunning venue, intimate, cosy, modern, perfect for our autumn wedding. I like how it’s all one big room so you don’t lose track of guests! Even though it was November we also made use out the outdoor space with the patio heaters, under cover sofas and fire pits and weren’t cold at all. The staff were so good on the day, they kept checking in on us, made sure we had our own canapés and always had a drink in our hand. They kept us up to speed with what was next etc so I really couldn’t fault them. Making sure we had a taxi back to our accommodation was also great. The food is also incredible! By far the best I’ve had at a wedding. Unfortunately with the wedding nerves I barely touched mine but what I did have was amazing! Wish I could go back and have it as a guest. There were only a couple of things where I thought but there was a bit of room for improvement, but still worthy of 5 stars. Communication on the run up was a bit sporadic until we were allocated our wedding coordinator 6 weeks before and I didn’t really like how I was speaking to someone different every time. I also had to chase for our final meeting to be arranged as I could see our last payment approaching and no one had been in touch. Also on the day I’d been very thorough with the seating plan but some high chairs were in the wrong spot which me and my husband spotted luckily. Also the kids food came out quite late, they didn’t have starters so I thought it would have been good to bring them out before the adult mains as the little ones were getting hungry/restless. I loved our wedding here and would 100% have it here again, hope I get to return as a guest on day!

The Most Amazing Day

Myself and my husband got married at Stretton Manor Barn on the 2nd November and it was honestly the best day of our lives! We first viewed Stretton Manor back in the summer of 2022 and instantly knew it was the venue for us. The rustic charm and the openness of the venue was something we both loved. We also loved that it was all one big room so guests could mingle together in the same space. Throughout the planning process, nothing was ever too much to ask. As a self confessed control freak I was definitely emailing a lot, but any questions I had were always answered quickly. We even got to go to the prosecco and canapes night which was an amazing event and highly recommended for any couples getting married here. On the day, our coordinator Ellie was just fantastic! She was not only our coordinator, but my dress fixer (thank you!), kept us informed of the order of the day as honestly you lose time, and even re-wrote our DJ song requests out for us when they didn't quite go to plan! The food, we had so many compliments about! Everyone was so full and we all felt bad leaving food but you honestly get so much! We were absolutely spoilt for choice. It's second to none. We both definitely recommend the camembert starter and Bakewell tart. If you have the banquet trio, the dauphinoise potatoes are amazing! We also want to say a huge thank you to all the staff who were so attentive all day, regularly checking in on us and our guests to make sure we had everything we needed. We've had lots of comments from our guests saying how helpful, professional and friendly all the staff were. Thank you Stretton Manor Barn for being such an amazing wedding venue and to all of your staff for being so accommodating to us and all of our guests. We loved every moment of our wedding day. Our vision came to life and we are so thankful for that. To anyone thinking of having their wedding at Stretton Manor Barn, do it! Mr & Mrs Elliott.

AMAZING!!!!

Absolutely amazing venue and staff!!!! I would like to say a very big thank you to all of those who made this a very special day, with a special mention to Amanda. The venue is a stunning place in an idyllic location, with the most amazing and helpful staff. The day was perfect, and everything was stunning. Amanda was the perfect wedding planner providing support where needed and going above and beyond to be there for everyone, not just myself and now husband and at the same time not being intrusive. My Grandma is 91 years old and struggles with walking, but she loved the day and was blown away by the venue, as access to everything is easy and it’s very comfortable. The guests enjoyed the day so much and we had so many compliments about the food, which was amazing. Would 1000% recommend this venue to anyone getting married in the future!

May 2024 Wedding

Myself and my husband got married here in May and we had the most amazing and special day. From first viewing the venue they made us feel very special and we absolutely fell in love with the modern feel of the barn venue. The team were amazing and nothing was too much trouble even after bombarding them with loads of questions. We had the best day, everything was organsied to a T and our guests were treated very well (they even managed to source hot chocolates for our elderly guests). The food was amazing and is still talked about now 4 months down the line. We couldn't have asked for a better day. Special thanks to Ellie our wedding coordinator and the rest of the team at Stretton Manor Barn. Mr & Mrs Raine.

The best day of our lives.

From the moment we first viewed Stretton Manor Barn in 2022 we were made to feel special. Mark showed up around and discussed the venue over a glass of prosecco, everything was laid out clearly with no confusing pricing structures we had seen at other venues. In the 2 years from booking to our wedding on the 4th August 2024 the team answered our questions promptly and we went back on a few occasions to go over some plans for the day. Amanda was our wedding coordinator and she is incredible at what she does, she ensured everything went smoothly and that we could focus on enjoying our day. Steve took over in the afternoon during our wedding breakfast and again Steve made sure the afternoon ran perfectly and checked in with my wife and I regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. The food, drinks and atmosphere throughout the day was nothing short of perfect, we didn't have to worry about anything and this allowed us to be in the moment with our guests throughout the whole day. We genuinely had the best day of our lives and felt that the team at Stretton Manor Barn worked extremely hard to look after us and our guests. The only disappointment is that we can't do it all again.

One of the best day of our lives!

We had such a beautiful day. All from the day before setting up, to getting dressed at the on site dressing room, walking down the aisle, the magnificent food & then the party!! There wasn’t a moment in the day we’d change. The staff are so kind & accommodating, they really did make us feel at home. The venue is absolutely stunning & the views are breath taking. Our photos are beautiful with the back drop of the fields behind them. It’s lovely that it’s so private & intimate. No one was left out at any point as we were all together. The choice of food is amazing, & we thoroughly enjoyed it. The packages that are offered are brilliant & very customisable with upgrades if wanted. Thank you Stretton Manor Barn. We love it!x
