Long before Lapstone Barn was a beautiful Cotswold wedding venue, it was part of a thriving farmyard! So it is wonderfully rural, surrounded by beautiful Cotswold countryside and accessed via a private drive.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Lapstone Barn in April 2025, we had the most incredible day! Our wedding coordinator Emily was so organised, friendly and quick to reply and give helpful advice. She did an amazing job at making sure everything went smoothly and seamlessly throughout the day, she reduced my stress infinitely! The location and the barn itself are stunning, I genuinely couldn't fault it! The accomodation at the barn, though a little pricey, was also very helpful to have for guests and the cottage and farmhouse were picture perfect. Waking up the day after to a field of hares and deer felt like a wonderland! Would 100% recommend as a wedding venue, I'm so happy we chose it!

A lovely place to have your wedding. Our day here in April was fantastic, the staff are attentive on the day and work well with vendors recommended or not. The food is unbelievable, we had the Chicken Roast Dinner and the quantity was also excellent!

Lapstone Barn went above and beyond from day one to make our day as special as it was. Every single staff member working there is amazing, so attentive, friendly and just clearly love their jobs.Kat was our wedding coordinator, and she was absolutely phenomenal, we live in Australia and that didn’t stop her helping us create our dream day, she spent time getting to know us as a couple with a long Skype call and then from that gave us advice on things we weren’t sure on, and nailed them all. We can’t thank her enough, for her kindness, thoughtfulness and all round perfectionist throughout the planning and the day. Helen was our front of house in the evening, and she was equally outstanding and thoughtful. She was on top of everything.Lapstone’s grounds are in pristine condition, and all our guests said what a beautiful venue it was. We were also so grateful how there were no hidden costs and no one trying to make us spend more money than our budget. Lapstone barn was a big part in making our wedding day so beautifully perfect, we can’t thank everyone enough.

Fantastic venue for our Daughter’s recent Wedding,set in a beautiful location in Glorious Chipping Camden.The Staff who looked after us throughout the day were superb, friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble.The food was superb and cooked to perfection and the bar was well stocked with a good variety of drinks.A huge thank you to our Wedding Co-ordinator Miley who looked after us throughout the day and ensured everything ran smoothly.We would definitely recommend this venue for anyone looking for somewhere to book for a Wedding venue and stay in the many rooms available in the separate Cottages, etc.Thank you once again for making this a memorable day for all of us.

Attended a wedding at the venue on Easter Saturday. The barn and its surrounding were beautiful, and the food second to none -delicious! However, I have to make a special mention of Claire (Front of House Manager) and her team, who couldn't have been kinder and more helpful all the way through the day. Thank you!

Lapstone barn was absolutely stunning, and the staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. Everything ran smoothly and on time, and that was largely thanks to our incredible wedding coordinator, Kat, who was so organised and attentive. The food was exceptional—many of our guests told us it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! Claire, our evening coordinator, was also brilliant and ensured everything was seamless. We’re so grateful to the entire team for making our wedding so special!

We had the most wonderful wedding at Lapstone Barn.The team could not have been more attentive and Kat in particular did so much to make sure the day ran smoothly. Nothing was too much of an ask.The food was incredible with several guests commenting that it was the best food they’d ever eaten at a wedding.The team did everything for us, we barely had to lift a finger.The venue itself is absolutely immaculate and was the perfect aesthetic. The photos we’ve had back so far are stunning.Lapstone was the first venue we looked at and we booked it the following day. It was all the more special for being dog friendly meaning we could have our little dog with us!The new accommodation on site was a lovely addition as it wasn’t there when we booked! But the rooms are absolutely stunning.Thank you so much to everyone at Lapstone for a magical day, love Becca & Dan

Lapstone is amazing and they gave us a wonderful day, it was just the aftermath which wasn’t quite what we expected.The venue is beautiful, we fell in love with it the moment we saw it! Our coordinator Abi was lovely, had great advice and was so patient with us throughout. Most of the planning process was fantastic and proceeded so smoothly. There were a couple of times where we felt they weren’t being quite as flexible as promised, but all worked out well in the end and they gave us everything we envisaged. The set up (we had A LOT of extra decor!) was chaos but manager Agi was fabulous, carrying on the next day and helping the Groomsmen get ready. Overall, they were great and the whole run up to the day was brilliant.The day itself went very smoothly, and most things were done as expected. We were able to relax as they guided us through it. The food (canapés/ wedding breakfast/ evening food) was amazing and far superior to what we expected and most other weddings we’ve attended. Our guests have since given us fantastic feedback; we can be very satisfied that they left very well fed! You can tell the venue prioritise fresh, quality offerings as we turned away from the tasty canapes to take another photo and turned back to find them gone! The waiting staff were all so lovely, engaging with us and making sure any extra food went to the Groom! In fact, the staff in general were all fantastic and very helpful.The day sailed by wonderfully, but it did unfortunately end on a slightly sour note.A few mix ups were apologised for and compensation provided. It was a shame there was no one around to oversee the get out the next morning. We had to search ourselves for bin bags and extra items of ours left in their stores. We didn’t expect staff to get stuck in, just perhaps give a little more guidance. Belongings left in the Hayloft (fair enough, there was a lot!) we found had been moved downstairs for us, which was helpful but could have been done in perhaps a slightly more delicate manner. One of the cleaners coming to clean the Farmhouse at 11am was incredibly rude. Fair enough, we were late vacating the property, but I don’t think that quite warrants being sworn at. But we were most disappointed to find our leftover cake had been thrown away. We didn’t think to specify for any leftover cake to be saved as we had no clue this would be a specific request. It appears unfortunately it’s not something they do (health & safety etc). The day after a wedding is always sad but we could have done with just a touch more in the way of after-care.In the months after the wedding there were some invoicing errors which required a bit of back and forth. When all has appeared correct, and you’ve paid them what was asked, it’s all a bit confusing and frustrating! It all went on longer than it should, but the venue eventually settled accordingly and very kindly arranged for cupcakes to be delivered to make up for the lost cake, which was a really lovely touch.All in all, it was a wonderful day, I just think the venue should review their after-event practices. Of course, the wedding is the most important thing, but the aftermath did take some of the shine off at one point.For any couples getting married at Lapstone you will have the most wonderful day ❤️ just make sure you specify for leftover cake and don’t forget the bin bags!Just a couple of tips -*The ‘Hayloft’ has just one or two hook to hang dresses, so look at taking some over door hooks or a collapsible rail for the bridesmaid dresses.*We hear the Farmhouse accommodation offers nowhere to hang up clothing, or much in the way of clothing storage so, again, over door hooks!*It’s a shame they don’t provide breakfast (although the Stable rooms have croissants, which is lovely), but Abi suggested alternatives. We eventually arranged with ‘Victors’ tearoom in Chipping Campden to deliver pastries on the wedding morning – highly recommended!

Our wedding at Lapstone was absolutely perfect! I was quite stressed leading up to the day, but I really shouldn't have worried as Emily and the team took care of everything. I did all my own flowers and decorations and Emily set them all up for us exactly as I had imagined. She was so reassuring throughout the day as well because I had no idea what I was doing! It was great to have her help and support, she even put my shoes on for me when time was getting a bit tight.We had a completely vegan wedding, the food was delicious and all our guests raved about it despite none of them being vegan themselves. The menu was adapted for us with no problems at all, including the canapes and evening pizza.The accommodation was stunning, our guests loved the new stables rooms. It was so great to be staying right next door to the venue on the day. And the icing on the cake, it's completely dog friendly! Our dog had a snooze upstairs while our band were playing and then came back down to join our guests.We both just loved the barn as soon as we saw it, and we had the most amazing day there, it all went so smoothly. Thank you so much Lapstone, you were incredible!Mr & Mrs Whiley ❤️

I have had the pleasure of capturing a wedding at Lapstone Barn and it really is perfect. The stone barn, and then the more modern barn for the reception are such lovely spaces, and the courtyard is ideal for the drinks reception hours! There is an abundance of pretty backdrops for photos, and the icing on the cake in my opinion is the stunning Manor House on site that is available for bridal prep and to stay in the night of. I can't wait to come back!

I was recently a chief bridesmaid at Lapstone barn and stayed for 2 nights at the venue in the stables. For £200 a night there was no storage for clothes and importantly for a wedding venue nowhere to hang dresses or suits which I feel for a wedding venue is a massive oversight. It was the same in the Hayloft there was 1 hook in the hayloft ( for the wedding dress) but none for the bridesmaids dresses we ended up hanging them over a door to steam the dresses and to get the picture of all the dresses hung up the bride wanted,Myself and the groom asked a member of staff when the wedding had ended if I needed to clear the hayloft before going to bed, we were told not to worry it could wait until the morning there was no rush to do so as there was no wedding the next day and we could take our time. The next morning at around 9 i came out to find the groom and all the stuff hayloft outside the bridal suite on the floor as he had been told by the morning team it needed to be emptied by the 0900 as they had viewing's, there seems to be a massive communication issue within the teams of Lapstone barn not just with this but with other issues I am aware of during the planning process.The bride and groom had request a fire pit to toast marshmallows, which I know the bride and groom love, but even they were unaware the fire had been lit only reason they knew was they were taking photos, if the bride and groom did not know how on earth were the guests to know and unfortunately it was not utilised.Lapstone barn itself is a beautiful venue and has so much potential but I feel the lack of of communication between the teams, and between them and all the people at the wedding and the lack of attention to detail really let it down.

Agi and team were amazing from start to finish. We had the most gorgeous Christmas in the Cotswolds, the farmhouse is perfect for a family Christmas (plus 3 dogs). We would absolutely return again. Thanks so much!

Lapstone barn is a great wedding venue, the staff were friendly and helpful. The size of the rooms were just right. However the accommodation left a lot to be desired. We stayed in the farmhouse which For £200 a night for a bedroom I would expect a wardrobe or somewhere to hang clothes, the chest of drawers had drawers with no bottoms, there were no towels or places to hang them and the toilet seat would not stay up. We had to ask for the outside lights to be put on so that we could actually see to get to it. Sort of put a dampener on the whole day. Sort it out Lapstone!

The music, for want of a better description, was so loud as to cause hearing damage. This is a health and safety issue. That volume is completely unnecessary and in any event is detrimental to any other social interaction. So, for example, conversation is impossible.Certainly not at all a pleasurable experience.I couldn't wait to get out. Even then we had to run the gauntlet of that damaging noise as the only way out was past the source.

Lapstone Barn was the perfect venue for our wedding. It was the best day of our lives and it wouldn't have been possible without Lapstone. The staff, particularly our coordinator Kat, were all superb through the whole process and particularly on our big day. They helped make the day relaxed and run as smooth as possible. Many of our guests said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding! We are looking forward to coming back to the venue in the near future and staying in the accommodation to try relive some of that magic!

My husband and I couldn't recommend Lapstone Barn highly enough for a wedding. From our first visit through to the event itself, communication with the team was seamless. Our coordinator Emily in particular was an absolute dream and make sure our wedding day ran smoothly. The barn is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of different spaces for guests to enjoy without being too vast. All of the facilities were fantastically well equipped, including the Hayloft and Lapstone's onsite accommodation. From the canapes through to the evening, the food was all delicious, with lots of our guests complimenting it all. We also took a number of our suppliers (photographer Katie Hamilton, hair & makeup team Margot & Lace and photobooth Mad Hat) from Lapstone's recommended lists, and all were wonderful. Thank you Lapstone Barn for the best day ever!

From when we first enquired with Lapstone Barn we were met with such professionalism, help and support. We instantly fell in love with the venue from when we saw it on the day and knew it was the one for us. Katherine was so so great and played such a big part in our day for us making sure everything we wanted and had asked for was there.We had planned for an early September wedding with a hint of autumnal in the air, and it couldn't have been more perfect! Waking up on the morning of the 6th it was so misty and instantly brought a cosy vibe, and then the sun was shining for our reception! The venue was absolutely perfect and worked so well with our 120+ guests throughout the day. All staff were so accommodating and friendly in the lead up, on the day, and after.I wish I could do it all again!!! Highly highly highly recommend for those looking for a venue in the Cotswolds. It would be perfect both in the summer, and beautiful and cosy for a winter wedding too. THANK YOU!!

After waiting 3 weeks for availability for a viewing of this venue, we were left disappointed after travelling for a two hour round trip and being rushed through the viewing which without exaggerating lasted a matter of 10 minutes. The lady showing us round couldn’t be any less interested if she tried, there are much better venues around if you ask me. Wouldn’t recommend here, certainly not within the top 10 in the Cotswolds. Total waste of time.

Lapstone Barn was such an amazing venue to host our vow renewal at. After a wedding (not at Lapstone) where we had so many issues with our wedding planner, having the staff from Lapstone was a dream come true. Kat was our day of coordinator and she was incredible - everyone we worked with was! The food and drink was amazing and it's such a gorgeous location.

Thank you so much to the team at Lapstone especially Emily our co-ordinator, for ensuring we had the most beautiful and magical day that went without a hitch! The catering team were great as I am coeliac and they accommodated by making all food gluten free. Nobody knew it was GF and we had many compliments on how great it was. The venue itself has so many beautiful locations inside and out where photos can be taken. The farmhouse and cottage were great additions, we woke up the next day to a baby deer grazing in our back garden! Thank you again for such a special day! Xxx
