A Photographer's favourite
Some venues have it all, and The Oak Barn is one of them. As a wedding photographer, there are many things that make a wedding venue awesome, and the main one for me is the ability for the wedding to be done the couple's way. I have shot many weddings here, and each one has been different, allowing the couple to bring their vision to life. I especially love the outdoor space, there's so much on offer, and of course, the open space overlooking Dartmoor at sunset is incredible. I love it. Katharine and John are amazing hosts, and I would highly recommend The Oak Barn for your wedding if you are looking for something a little different, something a little more you.

We love working at the Oak Barn
We have coordinated, run a bar and provided decor at Oak barn and we ways find Katherine and John so accommodating and helpful. They even let my husband wash glasses in the farmhouse as the caterer was using the kitchen. I have recommend the venue to more than one planning couple and won’t hesitate to do so again. :)

Our perfect wedding at The Oak Barn Hittisleigh
Our wedding at The Oak Barn was everything we dreamed of. From our first visit, we knew it was the perfect venue. Katharine and John were incredible throughout the whole process. They were helpful, responsive, and organized, making the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. Katharine had so many helpful suggestions and offered us anything she had onsite that would fit our theme. The accommodation was exceptional, and all our guests were impressed with the quality and comfort. We couldn’t have chosen a better place to have our perfect day and we really couldn't recommend The Oak Barn enough!

A stunningly perfect venue!
As soon as we walked into The Oak Barn we just knew that this would be the perfect place for our wedding and we made the right choice! What an amazing weekend we had surrounded by our family & friends. The venue is simply stunning, so welcoming & relaxing. Katharine & John went out of their way to ensure that we and all our guests had the best time. From the gorgeous little Acorn Barn to all the lovely accommodation, the breath taking gardens and the superb Oak Barn itself for the reception, every little detail is absolutely beautiful. Thank you Katharine & John for truly making our wedding day the special day of which dreams are made xxx

I cannot recommend this venue enough.
I cannot recommend this venue enough. Katherine and John were fantastic and really made our weekend special. Throughout the entire planning process they were extremely responsive, helpful and organised. Katherine had lots of really helpful suggestions and was happy to offer us anything she had onsite that would fit our themes. This made the planning stages easy rather than stressful! All of the accommodation is excellent and an extremely high standard.

Amazing accommodation
I don't even know where to begin. From start to finish Katherine and John have been sensational. From AMAZING accommodation to being the most helpful hosts in the world, this was amazing. Our wedding was entirely outdoors and the gardens were just stunning. We have had so many people say it was the best wedding ever.

Just magical
This place is just magical! The hosts are super lovely and really helpful! It's a truly wonderful place to get married! We were lucky enough to have an outdoor ceremony below the giant oak! The rooms are superb. The two areas for the bride and groom to get ready in are stunning and so fit for purpose! Once again, it is just such a magical place to get married!

Travel Notes

If you have a satnav, then the postcode you can use to find us is EX6 6LF. However, if you are travelling to us from Exeter on the A30 then most satnavs will tell you to leave the A30 at Woodleigh Junction and come through the village of Cheriton Bishop. We advise against this, as this route involves driving through a maze of country lanes. We recommend that you leave the A30 at the Whiddon Down Junction as described below.

Describe the best wedding that happened at The Oak Barn?

It's impossible for me to pick a favourite, each wedding held here is so unique and meaningful to the couple. Every celebration is filled with its own beautiful moments and personal touches that reflect the love and personality of the people involved.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

My number one tip is to prioritise your venue and the experience it provides. We aim for the venue to set the stage for the entire day, so choosing a place that truly resonates with you as a couple is key. Consider how the space makes you feel, our flexibility in accommodating your vision, and how well we align with your overall wedding theme and vibe.

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of my favourite personal touches I've seen at a wedding was homemade pom-pom confetti. It was such a simple, yet creative gesture, and it really added a fun element to the celebration. The couple had spent time crafting these colourful pom-poms themselves, and when they were tossed after the ceremony it created an amazing photo!

What part of your business are you most proud of?

The wedding venue provides funds for nature conservation work on the farm and by holding your wedding at The Oak Barn you are helping support and sustain rare (and often declining) wildlife.

We manage the land to benefit wildlife and have created a mosaic of woods, hedges and flower rich meadows.
