Stretton Manor Barn Full Description
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. We are proud to have an in house team of incredibly talented chef’s. We passionately source fresh and local produce wherever possible and we always provide generous portions of excellent quality food. Our banquets are simple, delicious and reliably fantastic.

We got married on New year's eve, it was just the best day ever and just the most special way to end 2023 and start 2024 with all our amazing family and friends, it was exactly what we had hoped for and much more! ❤️ Stretton manor barn is just beautiful and we loved it from the first time we stepped into it in 2022 on our show round! All the staff were amazing on our day, Amanda and Ellie were just the best! All our guests absolutely loved the day, the venue and the food! We have the most special memories to last a lifetime and we would 100% recommend this stunning venue to all future couples. We wish you all the best for the future. Stace & Rob xx

Simply the best wedding venue
We cant thank the whole team enough for making our day so perfect. Everything went to plan, if not better! From our first visit we knew this was where we wanted to get married, we instantly felt welcome and comfortable. The attention and care all the staff put in is incredible, they are so polite and helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble. The location is perfect, in beautiful surroundings, very quiet and private and makes for brilliant photo opportunities! The food is incredible, we upgraded to the Banquet Trio, and had hog roast for the evening, and well, wow! The amount of food you get on each platter is very generous, but the quality and flavour of everything is insane! Just for food alone everybody should have their wedding here. Simply, Stretton Manor Barn is the perfect wedding venue. Thank you all so much again for making our day so wonderful, we will be forever grateful

Incredible day
Stretton manor barn was the first and only place we viewed for our wedding venue. As soon as we seen it we knew it was the right place for us. Everything about the venue is absolutely stunning. Beth our wedding coordinator could not do enough for us even last minute requests she fulfilled. She was there every step of the way even on the day going above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Our day couldn’t have been any more perfect and that is because of the staff at stretton manor for making that happen. They really couldn’t do enough. Nothing was too much trouble and even our guests complimented how good they were. The food, we had canapés after our ceremony which were out of this world. Every single guest loved them. Especially the pork sausages and mash!! The wedding breakfast itself was again absolutely delicious and the pizza we had at night was so good. Couldn’t have asked for better food. So just a massive thank you to Beth and the team at Stretton manor barn for making our day as special and perfect as it was. Highly recommend this venue to anyone.

A Complete Dream
Wow! Where do I start? I remember finding this amazing venue when we first got engaged. At that point it was still is development.. We only saw concept art but could already tell it was going to be incredible and would have to visit. Fast forward to 2021 we began to plan our wedding. We arranged a visit, and it ended up being the only venue we viewed. Even though there was still a tiny bit more work to be done, and no official weddings as of yet, the place completely took our breath away. We could imagine every little detail for our day, and all our family and friends around us. I remember saying to my partner as soon as we got home that we simply had to reserve our date. From the minute we booked our wedding, even 2 years ahead, the team at Stretton have been nothing short of remarkable. The level of communication and care from Amanda, and everyone was a weight lifted off our shoulders. We couldn’t ask more from anyone. Amanda was our coordinator on the day and she was simply outstanding and couldn’t do enough for the both of us! The day before she was there helping us set up, and on the day of, organising everyone, fluffing my train and helping me walk across the car park a nervous wreck before our ceremony, and just having the most fun with us. We can’t thank her enough for everything she has done to make our day so special. The barn is a lovely mix of contemporary modern and rustic, giving off a really warm atmosphere. I had always dreamed of an autumn, barn style, rustic wedding and here all of my dreams became real. What we love about Stretton Manor Barn is that you are encouraged to style it however you want, and show off your personalities. But in truth it doesn’t need much doing to it at all, it’s just stunning by itself. Table runners with scattered candles and flowers made ours the dream we had visioned for ourselves right from the beginning; we wanted to show off the tables, chairs and beautiful wooden arch that just makes the venue what it is. There are so many extras included with the barn as well that we didn’t realise; the Mr & Mrs sign really added to the vibrancy of the atmosphere. The food is on another planet. Phenomenal. The starter was sublime; light and flavourful with a lovely bruschetta each. Gorgeous humous, olives and a lovely range of breads. We went for the Char-Grilled Chicken for our main and Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert. Both were out of this world and portion sizes were huge for everyone! We got to try the dessert at the Prosecco & canapés night a couple of months prior and knew we were on to a winner! I only wish I’d of had a bigger appetite on the day as everything was just delicious! We went for the pizzas for the evening option which were again just beautiful! I can’t remember going to a wedding, let alone being my own where the food was THIS GOOD.. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it, even days later! From the variety of options available to the portion sizes, there is something for everyone and not to be missed! The day itself was just perfect. Everything just went exactly how we dreamed with little to no stress at all. The weather was gorgeous too which was an added bonus! From the getting ready, photos, food and dancing, everything felt so seamless. We would like to thank everyone involved for helping to make our day so magical, from the coordinators and chefs, to the bartenders, waiting staff and our DJ on the night, you are all absolutely wonderful and really make the barn somewhere truly special.

The most amazing wedding venue!!
Thank you so much for all the teams efforts in planning our wedding and also a special mention to Beth for all her help making our day so perfect. Every email we sent prior our wedding was responded to so quickly and friendly, nothing was too much to ask. We absolutely loved our wedding, the venue is unbelievably stunning in every way. It was exactly what we visioned when planning our wedding. The food was delicious and our guests said it was the nicest food they had ever had at a wedding. The bar and waiting staff were all so helpful and friendly to our guests. We wish we could do it allll again, and will be forever grateful to all!

Flawless from beginning to end!
From the moment we first stepped through the doors for our viewing appointment, we knew we were on to a winner! The venue is absolutely beautiful, the attention to detail and personal touches from all the staff helped it to stand above the rest. Our wedding co-ordinator and the team made us feel special at every opportunity, nothing was ever too much trouble and the communication from the them was always stellar. The big day itself was incredible, everything ran seamlessly and we truly felt like royalty - Stretton certainly know how to make a fuss of their couples! To say the food is gorgeous would be an understatement and there's so much of it, no one could possibly go hungry. We had an absolute blast in the evening too and danced our socks off. We'll forever be grateful for the genuine care and warmth from the team at Stretton, we can't thank them enough. We'd recommend this stunning venue to anyone and everyone.
