Just perfect!

Our wedding at Dodmoor was just how we imagined it would be and so much more! Beth-rai and the team were so responsive via email throughout the whole of the preparations and particularly in those stressful weeks leading up the big day! This definitely made the whole planning process so much easier to the point where my mum couldn’t believe how calm I was on the morning of! We were able to personalise our day in so many different ways including the no corkage fee in the day meaning we could choose our drinks to the decor and photos that we provided and were perfectly put up around the whole venue. Couldn’t recommend Dodmoor House enough for future couples! All of our guests shared how much of an amazing day they had and everyone wants to do it all over again! Also being able to have our four legged friends join us for the day was a bonus!

The most amazing venue!

Do not hesitate to book this venue! They could not have done more for us and really supported us to ensure we had the day of our dreams that represented us! The venue and grounds are stunning and the photos are absolutely dreamy! We got so many compliments. The non corkage package also supports you to ensure the day is tailored to what you want and there was no pressure ever to have it ‘the done way’. We also could not have been more impressed with the staff at Dodmoor. Our wedding coordinator was friendly, enthusiastic and made us feel like we were the only person to ever get married there. From supporting us in the planning process to running around on the day appearing from nowhere like fairies and even being there to sew up a broken dress! Book! Book! Book! You will not be disappointed!

Book the venue!

There's really not the right words that will truly do it justice. Our experience with Dodmoor House was truly perfect. We looked at a couple of venues within the area (prior to Dodmoor) but when stepping foot on the grounds of Dodmoor, we fell in love instantly. From our first visit up until AFTER our special day, the team have been amazing (special shout out to Beth-rai!). No ask was ever too big or small for them - they made the entire experience magical and there's simply not one regret. It's everything we imagined, and more - and this is all down to the fantastic team. The venue is beautiful, and the staff are so accommodating, kind and personable. As I said - no words can truly describe how much we loved our special day. If I have one piece of advice for anyone yet to get married and who may read this - BOOK THIS VENUE. Kindest regards again, Shane & Jessica

Simply Amazing

Right from the start we knew Dodmoor was the venue we wanted to get married at. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and a perfect backdrop for a wedding. But the staff are what we loved. From email communication to the planning meeting, nothing was to much. Carolyn was an amazing wedding coordinator and she made us feel completely at ease. Not only was she so kind but she was thoughtful, considerate and smiled the whole day!!! Which definitely eased the nerves!! The day itself was fantastic and everyone was remarking on how brilliant the staff were and felt so looked after!! Thank you so much to Katie and Robyn who also made our evening outstanding!! Our guests were so impressed with everything Dodmoor had to offer and we were so so pleased we chose them! We had guests with accessibility needs and they were quick to support with that. They were also really excited about the ideas we had for different things which made us more excited! I can't recommend them enough and am very thankful to Carolyn and the rest of the team!!

Even the guests were impressed

We booked Dodmoor for our intimate Muslim religious ceremony and they did a great job. They went above and beyond on the day as well as prior to the event. Even our guests were impressed with their service. They were reasonably priced and offered so many ideas and guidance we found to be very useful. They had all the small details covered from the umbrellas to the confetti baskets. Our wedding day went smoothly because of the exceptional service provided by Dodmoor. As a Muslim couple they made us and our guests very comfortable. We would highly recommend Dodmoor to all couples.

Beautiful & Amazing

The most beautiful venue, perfect for smaller weddings. Our day was just magical! All our guests said how stunning the venue looked during the day and night. Service was outstanding the whole time from pre wedding to after the wedding. A massive shout out to our planner Kara, who completely understood what we wanted for our special day. Thank you Kara! I honestly don’t know what else we can say but thank you and choose team Dodmoor!!

Couldn't have asked for more!!

From looking round the venue to after the most beautiful day, the Dodmoor team were brilliant (especially Chloe). We only viewed one venue, we both knew from looking round that this was where we wanted our special day. It's beautiful, literally every aspect. We had no idea where to start with planning the wedding, however Chloe had everything covered. They had recommended suppliers which we used for photography/videography, food & evening entertainment. The communication from the start was been the best, you were always checked in on, given updates etc. Having a meeting before to go over finer details of the day was such a lovely touch and it meant that you could tell them how you wanted everything. You really do feel at ease with the day after that. The venue is beautiful, the packages are reasonable, the hire items are lovely. The staff were amazing. You really couldn't ask for more from a wedding venue. Thank you Dodmoor House for making it the most special day! xx

The very best choice we could have made

The Dodmoor team really underpromise and overdeliver. When we first booked them we really didn’t appreciate the extent of their inclusive wedding planning service. They seemed to just instinctively know what we were looking for and then took us by the hand and guided us through every decision, without us ever feeling like we were being upsold. The venue has a rustic beauty in a lovely setting and on the day all our guests commented on how attentive the Dodmoor team were and on top of that their pricing was really transparent and represented excellent value for money. The perfect choice for a smaller relaxed wedding.

Happy guests that attended a wedding in August

We just wanted to thank you for your beautiful venue. Please thank the staff on our behalf. They were all excellent, kind, efficient and good humored throughout the day. Louise went above and beyond with great kindness and care and was especially considerate of geriatric state- both in our 80's- ushering us through a short cut into the garden, being attentive without being obtrusive. A really lovely lady. Our kindest regards and thanks

FAQs

Describe the best wedding that happened at Dodmoor House?

It's absolutely impossible to say! We've had so many weddings and each one has their own best parts! We do remember having a ball when a mariachi band came in and played to everyone during dinner, and we threw sombreros to guests from the mezzanine balcony! A petting zoo with the cutest animals ever came and we cuddled rabbits, lambs and baby goats. An English Bride who grew up locally married an American groom, who's family and friends flew across the pond for the big day and were all transported to Dodmoor on a double decker London bus! Every week we experience another "Best Day Ever"!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

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!

What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?

One of our favourite parts of seeing lots of weddings is seeing the personal touches our couples do to put their stamp on Dodmoor House! We love personal photos, it's always lovely to see pictures of our couples throughout the years they have been together.
