- OOlivia & Mike13/09/2025Beautiful, rustic, relaxed setting! Beautiful, rustic, relaxed setting!We really loved getting married at The Dodford Inn. Such a beautiful venue and setting, with a rustic, cosy and intimate feel, but with plenty of space for guests to relax and mingle. We had Dee Acoustic play (who were at the Dodford Inn wedding fair) and there was a space for the band on the patio for them to play whilst guests relaxed. Ben, Becky and the team were friendly, accommodating and made us feel well looked after on our wedding day. The running of the day flowed seamlessly from day to evening, thanks to the organised staff members and also the way the venue uses its different spaces for particular parts of the day. This worked really well to give a bit of variety throughout the day. We liked the options of wedding day packages with meals, drinks and decorations included, which meant this was all set up for us on the day and took that worry away from us. Clare who organises the decorations provided beautiful floral displays that tied into our colour scheme. It was nice to be able to choose decorations to suit our style. The food was delicious! And with myself, my husband and a few of our guests having a few differing dietary requirements, the kitchen couldn't have been more flexible with adapting our chosen set meals to suit our needs. We had many compliments on the food from guests too. We really recommend this venue, it was so much more than we imagined with its lovely relaxed and uplifting atmosphere.

The venue is beautiful with ample grounds which are well maintained and look stunning on photos. The food received many compliments, it’s simply delicious.

- LLydia & Stephen23/06/2025Amazing venue, staff and food!Amazing venue, staff and food!The first time we viewed the Dodford Inn, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. The venue itself is set in beautiful countryside with lovely views. The venue has a country pub feel but has been renovated to a really high standard. Ben, Becky and the team were always so welcoming and on hand to answer any questions we had. Communication was always quick, informative and could not be faulted. We chose the Oak Package, meaning we had canapés, 3 course wedding breakfast + wine, reception & toast drinks, venue decorations and resident DJ included. It was great to have so much included in the price and made wedding planning really easy. Although this was a set package, we were still able to customise aspects and have exactly what we wanted. The resident DJ - Lee Dyson - was also amazing, as was the venue decoration supplier - Clare's Weddings. I stayed at the venue the night before with my bridal party and then the night of the wedding with my husband, and the bedrooms were absolutely gorgeous. It was great to be able to get ready at the venue on the wedding morning. There was plenty of space to get ready in, including space for hair and makeup artists. On the day, all the staff worked so hard and everything went incredibly smoothly. They would always check in with us to make sure we were okay, had enough food, drink etc. The food was delicious and we had compliments from guests all evening. Guests also loved the barman - he was fantastic and made cocktails from scratch all day long. The Dodford Inn do not do back to back weddings which makes the experience feel a lot more personal. Ben & Becky always knew what was going on/what we had asked for, and it always felt like a very personalised experience. We had the best day of our lives, and The Dodford Inn will always be a very special place to us.

- RRich and Claire07/06/2025Stunning wedding venueStunning wedding venueWe got married at the Dodford Inn on Saturday 17th May 2025. We genuinely can’t find the words to describe how incredible this venue is and how amazing our special day was. Choosing a venue is so hard, there are so many options but we had a good idea in our heads. When we walked in to the Dodford Inn, we knew immediately in our hearts that this was the perfect venue for us with a rustic feel! We met Becky and she was so lovely and explained all of the options to us. When she said they had a Saturday in May, Claire’s face lit up and the plans began. The way in which their packages work makes life so much easier, so much was included, from reception drinks, canapés and wedding breakfast, decoration, evening food and even a great DJ. This really took the pressure off our planning and we had so much more time to work on the other smaller details. We then met Ben, he sent us details for the portal and again this made life so much easier as we could just upload the details and send it over. Both Becky and Ben are so thoughtful, they helped come up with ideas and were really flexible with dining options and Ben even got us some Donkey wine where the proceeds go to the donkey sanctuary. We don’t believe we could have ever got this service anywhere else. The day itself was perfect, the team were so attentive and we felt they were on hand at all times to help us out. The bridal prep room was so handy and was a lovely space to get ready. The room was set up exactly as we asked and the way they move the room round for the wedding breakfast and evening is seamless! To top this off, the bridal suite was incredible, like a luxury hotel!! The food was out of this world, all guests commented how great it was, high quality and perfect portion sizes. The venue just has everything, not too big that guests are on top of each other, but intimate to allow that romantic feel. The outdoor space is wonderful, a lovey patio and grounds that are perfect for outdoor shots. We could not have dreamt of a venue that was so perfect and Becky, Ben and the team made our day magical from start to finish. The best thing is, they are a restaurant on the weekends when weddings are not taking place so we can go back time and time again to experience their amazing venue and food! You made our dreams come true and will never forget you. Rich and Claire We got married at the Dodford Inn on Saturday 17th May 2025.

- AAlex and Tony08/10/2024Perfect dayPerfect dayDodford Inn hosted our wedding in October and from beginning to end we had a fantastic experience. They were so accomodating of odd requests and incredibly flexible. Our guests had the time of their lives due to the excellent food and well priced drinks. The organisation of the day went without a hitch and the coordinators were on hand should we need anything. He even noticed that my new husband and I hadn't eaten, fixed us two plates and suggested we take it to our room to have 15 mins together. All the staff were incredible on the day and we are so grateful. And a huge plus are the utterly gorgeous bridal suite and guest rooms! I'm just disappointed we don't get to do it all over again.
