This picturesque and romantic venue is the perfect setting for any wedding, and in this article, I’ll take you on a romantic and emotive journey of their special day. From the venue to the surroundings to the opportunities for amazing wedding photos, I’ll cover it all.
The Venue: A Dreamy Cotswold Stone-Built Barn.
Cripps Barn is truly a unique and charming wedding venue. Built as part of the Cripps & Co. brand, the venue boasts a distinctive character that sets it apart from other wedding venues. The rustic Cotswold stone walls give the venue an authentic and timeless feel, while the high ceilings and exposed beams create a spacious and airy atmosphere. The grand fireplace adds a touch of elegance and warmth, making it the perfect setting for a cozy and romantic wedding.
The attention to detail at Cripps Barn is remarkable, from the beautifully crafted wooden doors to the carefully curated decor. Every aspect of the venue has been carefully considered to create a warm and inviting ambiance that will make you and your guests feel right at home. With its traditional Cotswold stone exterior and romantic atmosphere, Cripps Barn provides the perfect setting for an unforgettable wedding.

With multiple rooms and spaces available for use, you can customize the venue to fit your vision and style. From the ceremony to the reception, Cripps Barn provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. What makes the Cotswolds even more special is its strong heritage and abundance of history dating back to Jurassic times. This area is a veritable archeological hotspot, with rock formations and landscapes that have remained unchanged for centuries. The natural beauty of the Cotswolds, coupled with its rich history and culture, makes it the ideal location for a truly memorable wedding.
However, all this was not my reason to visit the incredible Cripps Barn. A wedding venue like no other. Built as part of the Cripps & Co. brand and only a stone’s throw away from the equally as amazing Stone Barn, Cripps Barn has been on my radar for a very long time as one of the venues I wanted to visit.
