Heritage, character and rural beauty all combine in perfect harmony at The Oak Barn. Nestled in an idyllic valley in the heart of Kent's High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, every detail of this exclusive Grade II listed venue has been designed to make the perfect setting for your special day.
When it comes to your wedding, it's not just about finding a venue, it's about discovering somewhere to create memories that will stay with you forever. Frame Farm has a series of stunning buildings dating from 1607, which include three reception barns, The Oak Barn, The Byre and the Pole Barn, as well as six luxurious Weaver's Cottages for you and your guests.
The awe-inspiring Oak Barn has a magnificent high vaulted roof, glass frontage overlooking the courtyard, hidden state-of-the-art technology, underfloor heating and a cosy wood-burning stove; every modern convenience in a breathtaking old threshing barn yet with an intimate feel.
With classic elegance and tranquil views, The Byre offers a graceful space perfectly suited for ceremonies or more intimate receptions, or it can be transformed into an entertainment room for the children. The romantic terrace, waterfall and lily pond are a wildlife haven and perfect for a celebratory toast or photographs.
The Pole Barn, our large open-fronted barn offers a more rustic style and comes complete with fairy lights and power. Used as our wood store and home to a working 1956 Fordson Major tractor, the chopped wood, original oak door from The Oak Barn, and decorative rusted-screens make this another unique location for nuptial vows, photographs and games within our farmyard.
And at the end of your wonderful day, curl up and enjoy a celebratory glass of bubbles with your spouse in our sumptuous Wedding Cottage.

Fabulous venue in a beautiful setting!
From the moment we drove down the drive for the first time, until approximately six months later when we said I do, we knew this was the venue for us. We were blessed to have unexpectedly beautiful weather for April, the presence of the young lambs adding to the atmosphere and just the perfect day from start to finish.
We hired the venue for the weekend, to enable our wider family and guests to be part of our celebration and it really did take a huge amount of stress out of the actual day. The cottages are welcoming, of a high standard, and provide all that you need, although never did get to experience the copper bath!
The whole team are hugely supportive, encouraging, making you believe that anything is possible. Each wedding feels individual and personal, limited only by your imagination. We would whole heartedly recommend the Oak Barn and its recommended suppliers.

Perfect wedding!
It was an absolute joy to have our wedding at the oak barn - we had the most perfect day! The team were so responsive and helpful throughout the process - we loved working with Hayley and Chrystelle!
The spaces were all beautiful and a perfect balance of indoor and outdoor in case of rain! We had so many compliments on the venue throughout the day.
We loved how much we were able to personalise the venue - from setting up the wedding breakfast decorations from scratch to bottling up our own homemade cocktails to serve throughout the day. The onsite accommodation was spotless and felt so luxurious. It was fab for all our nearest and dearest to be so close and turned it from a day to a weekend of celebrations! Thank you so much to the oak barn for making it all so special!

The perfect venue
We recently had our wedding at The Oak Barn and it was the perfect place. The barn and surroundings are absolutely beautiful, the fact you can spend the whole weekend there really makes the wedding feel special with plenty of time to set up and relax.
The team are amazing, really supportive in the run up and during the weekend and ready to help with whatever might arise!
Thank you for the best weekend ever.

Amazing venue
I honestly cannot stress enough how beautiful this venue is and how amazing the staff are. From the day we went to view the venue (and fell in love the second we drive down the drive) to the moment we left the day after our wedding the staff were always on hand for anything we needed. It’s great having the cottages on site as well, being able to stay the night before our wedding and the night of made life so much easier for us meaning we could get everything done the day before the wedding and I didn’t spend the morning stressing if everything was right. This venue is truly stunning and has so many different places for gorgeous photos. Thank you again Tim and Deana for allowing us to get married at your amazing venue. Emma and Elliot

Stunning Venue, fab for weekend hire!
It was great being able to stay from Friday till Sunday which made us all feel way more relaxed than trying to do everything in a day!
The three barns are wonderful each with its own unique charm and thing to offer.
The cottages were beautifully set out and offered us and our wedding party top end accommodation.

The best Wedding Venue EVER!
From the first visit of the Oak Barn, I knew it was where I wanted to get married and it did not disappoint!
The booking process and the final details meeting run so smoothly, all of the staff are extremely helpful throughout they provide you with so much information to make your organising of the wedding so easy!
We booked Oak Barn for two nights along with Weavers Cottages, it was the best thing we did… our guests were able to settle in the day before and we had everyone round for drinks and nibbles the night before making our wedding so much fun! The cottages are so comfortable with every detail thought of… waking up to the sheep in the fields is just perfect!
Chrystelle was the best, she made sure we was happy at all times and made sure everything run so smoothly even appearing during my sons tantrum (toddler) in the middle of the ceremony with cookies to calm him down. After being awake in the middle of the night replanning our ceremony to be outside due to the fact I had both of my brothers giving me away and also how lucky we were with the fantastic weather!
Both members of staff who were there on the evenings to lock up the barns were so helpful and friendly and made it so easy for us!
The Oak Barn really is the most special venue, it is absolutely stunning down to every little touch! The memories we will have from the perfect wedding here will last forever for both us and our guests! Thank you to everyone at Oak Barn for making it so special!

Amazing experience throughout!
I’m not sure where to start! We had our wedding at the Oak Barn in October 2023, from the moment we set foot on the farm and were met with not only a beautiful setting but a wonderfully kind Hayley! The barn and buildings are stunning, we decided within 10 minutes this was going to be our venue…
Hayley was fantastic throughout the whole process, from the day we confirmed our date to the wedding morning I couldn’t have asked for a more lovely, professional, experienced and enthusiastic person to deal with, no question too silly or ask too big, Hayley made the organisation seamless. What an absolute pleasure to work with, we got married in the Byre, reception drinks in the pole barn and wedding breakfast / disco in the Oak Barn, fully utilising the whole venue. We visited the venue 5 times in the run up to talk things through and visualise our day. It was the most perfect day, and I really thank the team at Frame Farm for holding our hands throughout the whole thing! Hayley and Chrystelle were fantastic throughout and really felt there were on the bridal team. I couldn’t recommend the venue enough, beautiful setting, seamless interactions with all of the vendors; Vine & Dine (Caterer), SeeRoseFloral (Florist), Village Vinted (Furniture), Black Saucers (Glassware) and overall a truly amazing day! ❤️❤️❤️

Incredible from start to finish.
The Oak Barn is picture perfect and the ideal space for a relaxed, rustic wedding. It’s so beautiful that minimal decoration is required.
Deana, Tim and their team were fantastic throughout the process, from our initial viewing to the day itself. Their professionalism and expertise is second to none, and they really care about making your day perfect.
Our wedding was on a particularly wet and rainy day, but Deana had advice for us and the other vendors to ensure everything went without a hitch.
We stayed at the cottages from Friday to Sunday. They are lovely in themselves, and it helped us to relax knowing that everything was ready to go on Saturday morning, and meant we could have a big family dinner the night before.
I couldn’t reccomend them highly enough. It is an expensive option, but they are worth every penny.

Beautiful Autumnal Wedding!
We were lucky enough to get married at The Oak Barn and can’t thank the team enough for letting us celebrate in this beautiful barn! We fell in love with the venue when we first visited and so did all our guests at the wedding! The Barn is so beautiful and rustic which is exactly what we wished for, and the Byre was the perfect setting for our ceremony. The grounds are amazing and so lovely to wonder around with plenty of photo opportunities (even in the rain!) It was also a massive help having the cottages on site for our guests to stay in - they are so stylishly finished. A massive thank you to Hayley who was incredibly helpful throughout, and made everything run so seamlessly on the day! We couldn’t have managed the day without you! We had the most perfect day we could have wished for and will always have the best memories of our wedding day. Thank you again for everything xx

Excellence in all areas
We got married at The Oak Barn in July 2023 with 100 guests, two years after we initially visited the farm and booked the venue.
We were rather naive going into it as to how much work is involved in organising a wedding but Tim & Hayley (who alongside Tim & Deana, the owners, is their secret weapon!!!), who we mainly dealt with, were absolutely fantastic throughout the process. They have a superb selection of trusted suppliers and will also happily advise on matters which generally fall outside of their remit. They were patient when we needed time to sort things but also gave us a bit of a kick up the backside when we needed to get on with things! Deana, Tim’s partner, who we didn’t really deal with but met a few times also seemed lovely.
The venue itself is also stunning with multiple areas (3 x very different barns and multiple outside areas) which you can use to keep things interesting for your guests rather than just being stuck in one area the whole day, which in my experience of attending other weddings can be a little bit dull.
We could not of asked for a better day, in fact if I’m honest I didn’t personally expect to enjoy it as much as I did as I thought I’d be stressed out worrying about stuff going wrong, but knowing you have such a fantastic team behind you, it really was stress free and an absolutely amazing day.
Thank you so much Tim, Deana, Hayley and the rest of the team. We’re so pleased you were part of our wedding journey.

What a perfect venue
Amazingly beautiful venue with rustic yet chic charm for anyone who doesn't want a manor house or a castle.
The 2 barns are beautifully renovated, offered accomodation for my whole family and the owners are immensely knowledgeable, kind and thoughtful. We had the best day on 18/03/23

Wedding 25/02/2023
The oak barn was the only venue we viewed when we started looking back in 2021! It honestly took our breath away and after seeing the barn and stage I couldn't imagine saying my vowels anywhere else. The whole team are amazing at the oak barn, they helped finalise the last bits, spoke to my suppliers to make sure the day went as smooth as possible. All of our guests said how beautiful the venue was to. We had the most amazing day and the venue really topped it off. I would really recommend booking the cottages and making a weekend out of it, we did this and it really helped to ease stress on the morning of the wedding.

Magical Place
We had our wedding at the beautiful Oak Barn in July this year. From start to finish Deana & Tim were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Planning a wedding is such a daunting task, but they were incredible in answering any questions I had and kept us informed throughout the process.
The Oak Barn itself is a magical place. I am so pleased that we chose this venue for our wedding day. Everything was perfect, even on one of the hottest days of the year. The barn is absolute perfection and it shows in the love and care that they give the barn. It was the most perfect day and we couldn't thank them enough for making the day so special.

Such a special venue for a wedding!
What an INCREDIBLE venue for a wedding! Both Deana and Tim were amazing hosts and communication was impeccable across the 15 months from our engagement/booking the venue to our wedding day. Absolutely beautiful views across the countryside have made for such special wedding photos and so many of our guests commented on the venue being the most beautiful they have ever seen. Nothing was too much trouble for Deana and Tim and they made us feel so welcomed and comfortable at each and every visit. Everything ran perfectly on the day, including the finest of details and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Deana and Tim and the rest of the team at The Oak Barn, we would recommend you to anyone and hope to attend another wedding as guests with you one day!! Thank you for making our day so special. Zoe and Jonny Barber x

We got married in The Oak Barn on the 28th August and had an absolutely magical day. We and all our guests absolutely loved the stunning setting. Chrystelle, Deana, Tim and all the rest of the team were a pleasure to deal with throughout the entire process and made sure that on the day things went better than we ever could have imagined.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending the Oak Barn!
