oxfordshire wedding venue
Idyllic wedding venue near Banbury
Founded in 2002 by the Harper family, Crockwell is a specialist wedding venue based in Northamptonshire, providing a one of a kindย service with exclusive use over three days. Situated in beautifulย rural surroundings next to the Oxfordshire and Warwickshire borders, and within close distance of the M40 and M1 motorways, it is the perfect location for weddings. Ourย venue includesย a vaulted ceremony barn, permanent marquees and gardens as well as nine largeย bedrooms within farm cottages.
One Location
One Location for your Wedding Ceremony and Reception
There has also been a trend over the past twenty years for couples who are not religious and therefore do not want a church wedding but also donโt relish the thought of a Registry office to look for more atmospheric licensed venues for their ceremony and Barns have really filled this void.
Not only do they offer a slightly formal, often โchapelโ like feel with their high, beamed ceilings and rectangular shape which lends itself perfectly to an aisle, they can also be turned around for evening entertaining if necessary. This means guests are not having to travel between two venues as would have been traditional, but can celebrate the whole day in one place.
โIt really is the little touches that count when planning โจa wedding and Crockwell has thousand of little touches up their sleeve. Just wish we could do it all again now!โ
