Congratulations To You Both We would like to congratulate you on your forthcoming wedding.

Your wedding day should be perfect, and here at Manor Farm Barn we recognise that this is one of the most important days of your life.

We will do everything possible to make sure your day is flawless and that you and your guests enjoy every moment of your special day.

Manor Farm Tythe Barn was built in approximately 1592 and was originally used to store the crops from the surrounding farms.

As soon as you step through the door you will feel its warm atmosphere created by exposed beams, beautiful tall ceiling and bespoke chandeliers.

Over the last 50 years or so the barn sadly fell into disrepair.

In 2002 we set about transforming the barn into one of the most beautiful barn wedding venues in Oxfordshire. It was a project that took nearly two years. Following the restoration, in 2005 the family were proud to host their first wedding; for their daughter!

With our beautiful walled garden – perfect for your wedding photos and drinks reception teamed with award winning food, a beautiful oak beamed barn and first class service, Manor Farm Barn will give you the perfect day to remember. Manor Farm Barn is a family run business and the farm has been in the family for 3 generations We absolutely pride ourselves on our warm hospitality, attention to detail and friendly yet professional service. We offer a tailor made service to fit with your individual requirements and a dedicated Wedding Co-ordinator to guide you through and make the whole process as stress free as possible!

THE BARN Manor Farm Barn is a 16th Century barn near Bicester in Oxfordshire. Exclusively yours for the entire day we have everything you need for the most magical day of your life.

Surrounded by gorgeous countryside our barn is conveniently located between Bicester, Buckingham and Aylesbury and within easy reach of the M40 motorway.

At Manor Farm we offer a totally bespoke wedding service, allowing you to tailor your day to your exact requirements.

The barn can comfortably seat from 75 to 120 guests for weddings with plenty of additional space to accommodate your evening guests meaning you can enjoy your wedding surrounded by all of your closest family and friends.

It is also possible to accommodate larger weddings where we can erect a marquee in a nearby field.

You will always remember the look on your guests faces as they enter the stunning building, with its authentic rustic charm and twinkling fairy lights, whether to attend your civil ceremony or to enjoy the delicious food you have selected for them for your Wedding Breakfast!

The barn is fully licensed for civil marriage ceremonies (our local registrar is Bucks County Council 01296 382481).

The barn is completely self contained with a bar and toilets.

THE GARDEN Our beautiful walled garden is tended to all year round and your photographer will be overrun with photo opportunities that will provide the perfect back drop for your memories of your special day!

As part of your wedding day you will have exclusive use of the garden to host your drinks reception and mingle with your guests in the British sunshine, with beautiful trees to shelter from the heat.

During inclement weather there is an adjoining barn where your drinks reception can be held.

WEDDINGS AT MANOR FARM BARN At Manor Farm Barn we pride ourselves on delivering your perfect wedding day with maximum flexibility, tailor made to suit your requirements. As every couple is different we strive to cater for each individual vision and as we don’t hold weddings on consecutive days, you will always have time the day before to personalise the barn.

No matter what you decide is important to you on your wedding day the following are included as standard: • Fairy lights along the beams • The use of the garden for your wedding pictures • Exclusive use of the garden for your drinks reception weather permitting • Cake table and knife • Lectern to display your table plan • Dedicated Wedding Co-ordinator • Tables & Chairs for up to 100 people

Testimonials We do not have words enough to thank Vikki & Tony Heath from Manor Farm Tythe Barn for helping to make our wedding day quite simply perfect! They are exceptionally special people who helped us to realise our vision for our wedding reception. They had so much time for us before the big day and are so talented at the preparation, that our whole experience with them was such a pleasure! Our afternoon started with drinks on the lawn accompanied by a vintage singer, before moving into the exceptionally beautiful Tythe Barn for afternoon tea and then dancing the night away with a ceilidh. However, the beauty of this venue is that you can make the day completely your own; they are utterly flexible and open to your ideas and wishes.

Throughout the day their team were exceptionally professional and hugely friendly with it. Vikki and Tony’s organisation is second-to-none! We genuinely cannot recommend the team and venue at Manor Farm Tythe Barn more highly enough! - Clare & Martin

ENTERTAIN • EXPERIENCE • ENJOY

Thank you for Saturday it was all we had hoped for and more! Your wonderful Manor Farm setting was perfect in every way for our daughter and new son-in-law’s wedding reception, and your dedication and attentiveness to all their guests was superb. Throughout all our planning and the day itself we felt that nothing was too much trouble.

You dealt with all our questions and enquiries with professionalism and always put us at ease.

Many guests have said it was the best wedding they have ever been to, commenting on the fantastic setting of both the drinks reception on the extensive lawns, and the Tythe barn itself.

The catering was also excellent and we all enjoyed the delicious canapés and spit-roast reception meal - superb food and so much of it! All this, combined with the Ceillidh dancing made the most special occasion for us all, especially Sarah and Phil! We would certainly recommend Manor Farm Barn to anyone! - Colin & Angela (Father & Mother of the Bride) A big/huge thank you for being such great hosts for Abi and Harry’s wedding. Not only were you brilliant on the day but also during all the meetings beforehand! Your smiley faces and professionalism kept us all sane knowing that there was at least one person present who knew what was going on! The Barn is a brilliant venue and we will certainly recommend you to anyone who wants to hold a ‘do’! Thank you again! - Jackie Fox (Mother of the Bride) We just want to say a massive thank you for everything! We have loved every minute we have spent with you both and we can’t thank you enough for all you have done! The venue was even more beautiful than we imagined and everyone was commenting on how stunning it is - we literally couldn’t have chosen a more perfect location for our day!

We are so pleased the rain held off so we could have the drinks reception on the lawn, the photos will look stunning with the manor house in the background. Everything ran perfectly on Saturday, all of our guests commented on how well the day was organised and how relaxed and friendly all the staff were. The gin cocktails you are serving were amazing, a great idea from a previous couple! We really can’t thank you enough for everything, you made the whole planning process so much easier and therefore made the whole day completely stress free and very enjoyable for us!

It was a great day and we wish we could repeat it over and over again! We can’t wait to get our photos back so we can relive the day and remember the fantastic memories we were able to make thanks to you guys! Thank you again for everything - it was perfect! - Verity & Richard
