It’s such a special place

We had a truly magical wedding here in March and couldn’t have asked for more from the staff at Dodford who were so lovely to deal with on every occasion. We both fell in love with the place when we visited and after viewing a few potential venues, it really was the one place we could truly imagine getting married in. It is a beautiful venue but feels less formal than other places which was just what we wanted. On the day, our event manager Kayleigh was awesome.

they fully accommodated with no complaints

We got married at Dodford Manor in October 2023 and it was honestly the perfect venue. The marriage between the modern and the rustic was exactly what we wanted. It was the first venue we viewed, and we booked it immediately. The pricing was also very fair for everything you got. They definitely have their weddings nailed down to a tee, and the events management team are really helpful when it comes to asking all sorts of questions. We asked ridiculous things about the size of the table numbers.

every email feels so personable and friendly

Our wedding isn’t until 2026 but we are so happy we have booked Dodford Manor due to the beautiful venue and fantastic communication! I’ve found that every email feels so personable and friendly despite the venue holding many weddings a month and having many couples to deal with. Every query (to which there have been a few!) is so promptly responded to, despite our wedding being so far away; this is really special especially as you’re trusting a venue with your big day! I’m sure there will be lo

The most amazing wedding venue EVER!!

The most amazing wedding venue EVER!! Myself and my husband got married here June this year and we honestly couldn’t fault Dodford. From the first initial meeting we had, being shown around the venue to the big day everything was taking care of with ease. We had the amazing Kayleigh coordinate our day.. she was faultless.. she ensured everything was ready in time, made our vision for the venue come to life and was on hand all day to ensure everything went smoothly. she made our day perfection!!

Honestly any of the coordinators would be amazing.

We had the absolute best day of our lives getting married at Dodford Manor on 09/11/2024. Having explored numerous venues during our search, Dodford Manor stood out in every way. Initially, their no corkage policy caught our attention, but over time, it became clear that Dodford is exceptional far beyond just that. From their transparent pricing (no hidden charges for fairy lights!), to accepting credit card payments, to their lightning-fast email responses, everything about their service is de

The most amazing venue and people

The most amazing venue and people that you could ever ask for on your special day! From our very first visit in January 2022 to our wedding day Dodford Manor’s team have been incredible. The venue is stunning, the team are friendly, attentive and amazing at what they do making our day run so smoothly with no issues at all. They were always so happy to help, from getting umbrellas when the rain started, guests in the right direction, making sure that my wife and I were well catered for.

All of our guests had an absolute blast

From the moment we drove down the stunning driveway to Dodford Manor we knew that it was our perfect wedding venue. I felt a genuine wave of emotions as we looked around thinking of our wedding day! We booked our wedding for the 30/5/24 and throughout the whole planning process, the team were there to answer all questions and support us. Our tasting day really got us excited for the big day, trying the amazing food from Jenkinsons and speaking to other couples, as well as suppliers.

Super responsive over email and the phone.

We had the best day of our lives here! Such a gorgeous venue, and super responsive over email and the phone. This took a lot of the stress out of planning, knowing we could contact them whenever we needed! The venue is just stunning and I couldn't have asked for a better day 🥹

The best day at the perfect venue

We had the best day from start to finish at Dodford. The team, especially Jess and Jack made our day run seamlessly and helped us to create the most chilled atmosphere for us and our guests. We have had nothing but praise for our day and this is down to Dodford, nothing was too much hassle and they were so organised, could not recommend them enough
