We just wanted to say a massive thank you to the whole team at The Lost Village of Dode for making our whole wedding experience so incredibly special and authentic as we had hoped. From start to finish, everything was perfect, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the love and care you all put into our celebration. A special mention must go to Paul, who was absolutely amazing. He performed our handfasting ceremony, which was so meaningful to both of us and something we will treasure forever. His warmth and energy made the moment even more magical. We were also blown away by Matt, who went above and beyond in ways we could never have expected. He wasn’t just our photographer, but also our go-to person throughout the whole day. From the moment we arrived, Matt was there, calm and reassuring, especially before the ceremony. His support helped ease any nerves we had, and he ensured that everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Plus, his friendly, approachable manner made him a real joy to have around—our guests loved him, and we’ve already seen some incredible photos! And of course, we can’t thank Becky enough for all of her hard work and guidance throughout the entire year. From the moment we met her in January, she was a constant support, helping us navigate all the planning and making sure every detail was covered. She was the calm and steady hand we needed throughout the planning process and on the day itself. We truly felt that with Becky and the whole team, we were in the best possible hands. We’re so happy to have celebrated our wedding at The Dode, and we know it will always hold a special place in our hearts. We look forward to returning over the years as we grow older together. Best wishes, Charlie & Mike Strawson x

We got married here on 21st December 2024 and it could not have been more perfect. We had an elopement wedding with six guests and our 3 dogs and stayed in one of the on site cottages . The venue is just stunning and with just one wedding a day it is all yours and the surroundings are beautiful, with lots of wide open space. We worked closely with Becky and it was completely stress free and she guided us through everything we needed to do. We stayed in the two bedroom cottage which had two bathrooms with shower, a kitchen and its own hot tub! It was very clean, cosy and extremely private and the dogs were welcome too. We would highly recommend Dode and we look forward to coming back for a stay in one of the cottages. Without any doubt in my mind this is the perfect place to get married!

if want personal touch this is the place to have your special day so many options lots of choice suppliers in house. the building is stunning full of atmosphere in lovely setting in countryside. the staff go above and beyond we had great day.

The venue with it's rich history is just a beautiful place, visually and spiritually perfect in every aspect The staff are amazing ... We can't recommend this place highly enough xxx

I'm struggling to find the words to express how grateful we are to you all at Dode. From our initial meeting with Paul, and the many emails between you and me to get things right. Your efforts were really appreciated. The retreat was lovely, just perfect. How to describe Dode to people? It has such an ethereal, spiritual and peaceful quality, long may it be so. This small email doesn't seem enough, but thankyou again to you and everyone for making our day one to definitely remember. X

We had the most perfect day, everything was completely seamless and stress free thanks to you and Paul. We couldn't have picked a better place to get married, I wish we could do it all over again!

We also wanted to say a big, big thank you to everyone - especially yourself, Charlotte and Paul who made our big day so special and run like clockwork - please do pass on our gratitude. We really did have a perfect day! Dode is a very special place.(And the weather behaved!)

The day was truly amazing and we couldn’t have asked for it to have gone better ~ even the weather was just perfect! A huge thank you goes out to us both to you and your amazing team who all went the extra mile to make it the happiest day of our lives. Thanks so much again Becky for everything. Very best wishes Aly & Johnny X
