Under the Gloucestershire Skies: A Festival Wedding at Oxleaze Barn

The Cotswolds are known for their idyllic charm and Oxleaze Barn, nestled amidst rolling hills and honey-stone villages of Gloucestershire, embodies it perfectly. But this wasn’t your typical barn Wedding. This was a festival themed wedding..

In the morning it was a buzz of activity, the boys busy preparing the ceremony area and barns, the girls enjoying the laughter and excitement of all the preparation. It is always a very special and emotional moment when the father of the bride gets to see his daughter for the first time in her wedding dress.

Imagine festival flags, whistling in a strong breeze, bunting adorning the “WedShed’ nestled in whisky long grass blowing in the breeze. As guests arrived, the air buzzed with laughter and chatter, anticipation for the hand fasting ceremony, wonderfully led by the brilliant Faye The Celebrant..

Aafter the emotional “I do’s”, the bride and groom led their guests back to the barns through a confetti tunnel. Laughter filled the air as friends and family mingled, their laughter echoing through the barns. After all the excitement, a few couple moments away around the wonderful grounds of Oxleaze before heading back to the hilarious wedding speeches (inside & out). The wedding breakfast was set up in a banquet style and the food and merriment flowed in to the late afternoon.

As the sun began to set, the golden light shone and an early evening walk with the couple to get a few more images is always welcome and a chance for the food to settle before the energetic dancing begins. A live band took centre stage, their music drawing everyone to the dance floor. The festival flags still whipping around in the breeze, the fire pit was lit and its warm glow reflecting in happy faces.

The Cotswolds provided the perfect backdrop and Oxleaze Barn served as the heart of the celebration, its warm wooden beams and open spaces echoing with laughter and music long into the night. This wasn’t just a wedding; it was an experience, a celebration of love, friendship, and life, with a touch of rustic charm and a whole lot of festival spirit.
