Description

Oxleaze Barn provides an atmospheric and authentic space to host an elegant wedding with your loved ones. With beams dating back to 1702, the Milling Barn features a private courtyard entrance and is a unique, characterful ceremony space for up to 80 guests. The Main Barn, with a stunning fireplace and majestic oak beams, can seat up to 110 guests for the wedding breakfast. Bi-fold doors open onto the manicured courtyard garden, which is perfect for an outside ceremony, drinks reception and family photos. For a wilder touch, our pretty WedShed at the top of the grassy meadow is also licensed for ceremonies and has breath taking views over the Cotswold countryside beyond. Come twilight, the Milling Barn transforms into a vibrant party space, revealing our hidden vintage bar. With your choice of a live band or DJ, you and your guests can dance the night away. Pretty festoons light the courtyard, adding more magic to the evening. Watch your guests enjoy toasting marshmallows over the open firepit while feasting on late-night snacks and sipping artisan cocktails. As the evening winds down, your wedding at Oxleaze includes our on-site accommodation, which accommodates 12 guests spread over three self-catering cottages, including a newlywed couple's cosy nest in the Dutch barn.

We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding. Me and hubby fell in love as soon as we saw Oxleaze and didn't hesitate to book it for our big day. It was the perfect size for our intimate wedding of just over 50 guests and with some having young children it was safe and very enjoyable for them too. Katherine and her team were amazing from the moment of booking until the end of the actual day. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I was highly recommend Oxleaze to anyone looking for their perfect venue.We couldn't have asked for a better venue for our wedding.

Beautiful Barn and supportive teamBeautiful Barn and supportive team
Oxleaze was an incredible venue for for our reception; the size and layout was perfect for our 100 guests and the children loved playing in the gardens. The barn itself is so beautiful we only used bunting and flower vases which saved lots of money on decorations! The team are so helpful and having Kath there's on the day meant we had no worries about anything and it ran like clockwork. Great location with lots of local hotels in Burford. Perfecto venue! P.SA random point but the toilets are lovely! Oxleaze was an incredible venue for for our reception; the size and layout was perfect for our 100 guests and the children loved playing in the gardens.

Perfect Cotswolds Wedding VenuePerfect Cotswolds Wedding Venue
We held our entire wedding (ceremony and reception) at Oxleaze Barn in July 2018. In our 50's... Determined not to make an 'industry' out of wedding planning it was the only venue we viewed and we knew it was perfect from the start. The barn is light and airy but cool so our guests were comfortable in the summer heat. The space is flexible so weddings can be held in or outside - on our day the weather was changable but Katherine was so helpful and flexible about waiting to the very last minute to put the chairs out so we could get married outside as she knew how much we wanted to. The enclosed grounds are perfect for drinks, children's games & we had a fish & chip van in the evening that went down a storm. The marsh mallows toasting on the firepit was also a hit. The addition of the milling barn was perfect for evening dancing, with space in the main barn for people to sit down.and have some quiet time if they chose to. We didn't do much decorating as the barn is beautiful as it is. We just had bunting and fresh flowers and the simple. Shabby chic look worked brilliantly. The staff at the watering hole did a great job and were efficient and professional along with being friendly to all our guests. The flexibility of using any outside caterer was also a benefit. Being able to stay at the Stable cottage was so lovely and convenient - it really was the icing on the cake. So if you are looking for a fexible, beautiful space in the Cotswolds to get married in, with a team who are invested in.doing everything they can to ensure your day is perfect I would highly recommend Oxleaze Barn.

The gardens to the rear of the venue are gorgeous and make wonderful photos, everything about this place screams Cotswolds and its perfect.

The most incredibly venue!The most incredibly venue!
I just wanted to say a big thank you from me and Joe (or should I say, my husband and I!) for such an amazing wedding. We really appreciate all of the extra help on the day that made sure that it ran so smoothly. We would defintely recommend you as a venue, and had many compliments on such a beautiful setting. Who knows, maybe we will be back for our 10 year anniversary! I just wanted to say a big thank you from me and Joe (or should I say, my husband and I!) for such an amazing wedding.

We wanted to drop you an e-mail to say a big, huge, massive THANK YOU for enabling and helping us have the best day of our lives on Saturday. Kath - you were an absolute super star, you made it a lot less stressful for us than it could have been and the day ran absolutely flawlessly (as far as we were aware!) which we cannot thank you enough for. We left a bottle of wine with Richard for you, so hopefully he's passed it on to you! Honestly, we would not have enjoyed the day as much if it wasn't for you. Hannah - we also want to thank you for answering all of our questions and helping us in all of the planning and organisation running up to the wedding. You were super responsive and helpful, which again has made the whole process far less stressful than it could have been. The barn looked absolutely beautiful, and we love that we were offered the flexibility to turn the barn into our ideal wedding setting. One of the main reasons we picked Oxleaze was that it did not feel like a 'cookie cutter' wedding venue. You allow couples to make the venue their own, and inject a level of personalisation that other venues do not - so thank you for that, as it was really important to Alex & I. We have been so impressed with the professionalism, yet personal approach from everyone we have interacted with at Oxleaze!We wanted to drop you an e-mail to say a big, huge, massive THANK YOU for enabling and helping us have the best day of our lives on Saturday.
