Hayley and Jack’s wedding at Caswell House in Oxfordshire was one of those rare days that felt both effortless and beautifully considered. Every detail, from the flowers to the brass band, fitted perfectly with the calm, timeless setting of this 15th-century barn venue. It’s easy to see why they chose it. Hayley said, “It’s just such a beautiful setting, both inside and out.”
A Relaxed Morning at Caswell House
The day unfolded entirely at Caswell House, which always creates the most seamless, relaxed kind of celebration. Hayley got ready in one of the venue’s charming rooms, surrounded by her closest friends and the soft hum of pre-ceremony excitement.
Her dress, from White Lace and Butterflies in Great Missenden, was classic and romantic. It worked perfectly with the rustic warmth of the barns. Meanwhile, Flowers by Kirsty designed natural, softly textured arrangements that added colour and life to the old stone walls.
A Ceremony Full of Heart
The ceremony took place in Wenmans Barn, which seats up to 140 guests, with space for 200 in the evening. Their beloved Border Terrier, Rudie, proudly trotted down the aisle, and confetti was thrown once they were married.
Celebrating in Style
After the ceremony, drinks flowed in the courtyard while guests soaked up the sunshine. Later, Ross and Ross Events served a feast that had everyone talking. The food was hearty, seasonal, and beautifully presented.
As night fell, the barn transformed into a glowing dancefloor beneath a sparkling disco ball. Count Skylarkin took over as DJ, keeping the dancefloor packed from the first track to the last. It was one of those parties that nobody wanted to end.
Why Caswell House works so well
For a photographer, Caswell House has everything: warm Cotswold stone, soft natural light, loads of fairy lights and sweeping gardens that glow at golden hour. It combines history and modern elegance in a way that feels cinematic in every frame.
The venue is exclusively yours for the day, resulting in a very relaxed day with everything taken care of by their wonderful staff.
