We did not end up booking this venue, but it was a pleasure to speak with the owner. She was very quick to respond, answer all of my questions, and schedule a date for a tour ASAP. The place looks beautiful, and has a lot of great perks!

Wonderful Wedding Venue
We held our wedding at The Barn at Stratford in September 2019. We feel in love with the venue and rustic nature of the barn. It was nice to have the bridal suite in the Meeker House next door and to have to opportunity to have the Museum open during our cocktail hour. We also have so many AMAZING photos form all the outdoor and indoor backdrops.

Beautiful setting
The Barn at Stratford was the perfect setting for my daughters wedding. The venue manager Melissa was on point with her knowledge and communication. She was quick to get back with me with any questions or concerns I had. My daughter and now son in law loved this place from the first time they saw it...needless to say, it didn’t take them long to decide this would be where their wedding/reception would be held. We would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful setting and wonderful staff to work with.
