We've had so many weddings and each one has their own best parts! We've had penguins, ferris wheels, champagne towers, singing waiters with guests waving their napkins in their while standing on their seats and SO many cute dogs. But the most memorable weddings are always the most personal, where couples reflect themselves in their special day. Such as the English bride who grew up locally and married an American groom, so when his family and friends flew across for the big day, they were all transported to Dodmoor on a double decker London bus!
If someone is willing to help you, take their help! It's so amazing to have people who want to contribute towards your day whether that's helping to make favours, driving your Nan to the venue or doing a reading in the ceremony. Anything that helps take a little stress away from planning really has a huge effect!
We love personal photos, it's always lovely to see pictures of our couples throughout the years they have been together. There are some great places to hang these in our bar area and they are a great focal point for guests to look at!
Romantic, Exclusive, Friendly, Warm and Fun!
Being next door to the Grand Union Canal is a treat, we are right next to a lovely bridge which provides such beautiful photos both on the bridge and on the towpath.
Being so close to Northampton, we've had a couple of Saints Rugby players get married here, a few guests from the Made in Chelsea cast and Emily Atack from the Inbetweeners loved our cocktails! A roadie for Coldplay and One Direction also got hitched at Dodmoor (but sadly Chris Martin and Harry Styles didn't make the guest list...)
Dodmoor is such a flexible venue, with two inter-connected barns that it can host intimate wedding days as well as much bigger ceremonies and receptions, so it's a truly lovely space for a smaller wedding with your nearest and dearest guests, with special midweek intimate wedding packages available.
Yes dogs are always welcome at Dodmoor weddings (and we really love it when they get dressed up for the big occasion!)
We might be biased, but there are so many beautiful features at Dodmoor. The most unique however might be the "secret garden" gate, which is located by the walled garden area of our main lawn. Absolutely gorgeous for romantic couple portraits.
Our team! We call ourselves the Dodmoor Family and that family spirit is really important to us, we'd love you to be part of our extended family too!
