Everything we wished for and more Everything we wished for and more
Thank you for the most amazing wedding day on 24/08/2025. It was everything we had hoped for and so much more. From the first viewing we knew this was the place for us, a few factors stood out like the exclusive use, no corkage fee and the stunning views. The wedding planning was made easy with event staff on the end of an email, recommended suppliers and the wedding planning document I found it all very stress free . The day run so smoothly with everything set up exactly how we wanted so we could relax and enjoy it. Jenkinsons catering were amazing and even going above and beyond for my little brothers birthday that day bringing out a cake and candles. We have had so many compliments on both the food and the venue from guests and are still on cloud nine wanting to do the day all over again.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Dodford Manor! From the very beginning right through to the wedding day, the entire team was professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to making everything feel effortless and stress-free. The venue itself is breathtaking - a truly stunning backdrop that made our special day feel even more magical. Thanks to the impeccable coordination and support from the staff, everything ran seamlessly, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every precious moment. We’re especially grateful to our wonderful wedding coordinator, Abbie, and the entire Dodford Manor team for going above and beyond to help us create a day we will never forget.

WOW WOW WOW We're really struggling to put into words how absolutely perfect our wedding at Dodford Manor was. We honestly cannot thank the team enough, we simply had the best day. From the build-up in the months beforehand, to the drop-off days before, to the wedding itself and even collection the next day, at every step we were blown away by just how well everything works. It’s clear they've got it all down to a fine art, and we were so grateful to be in such capable hands. We had so many compliments on the stunning venue, the catering team (a huge thank you to Will, an absolute superstar!), and all the suppliers we brought in. Everything just clicked seamlessly. Lydia, is simply a diamond and an absolute credit to Dodford Manor. She didn’t miss a beat all day, and we had so many people come up to tell us how fantastic she was. Thank you SO much. From start to finish, the entire Dodford Manor team made it all so easy, calm and enjoyable, and thanks to them all, we’ve got the most incredible memories to hold onto forever.WOW WOW WOW We're really struggling to put into words how absolutely perfect our wedding at Dodford Manor was.

Dodford Manor what an incredible venue, from initial enquiry to booking, Dodford and the staff were so accommodating and well organised. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even if emails were being sent at 11pm. The day itself, wow it was absolutely incredible, as our wedding was on a budget and due to small numbers Dodford were amazing at setting out our decorations, everything was absolutely perfect and a special shout out to Kayleigh who was amazing on our wedding day.Dodford Manor what an incredible venue, from initial enquiry to booking, Dodford and the staff were so accommodating and well organised.

We had the most amazing wedding day at Dodford Manor, if I could give 6 stars I would! Firstly, the venue is absolutely stunning, but Dodford Manor is so much more than just a pretty place for a wedding. The communication from the moment we booked until our wedding day was fantastic, we had really quick responses to all of our questions and nothing was too much trouble. A huge thank you to Kayleigh who went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect and that everyone was looked after.We had the most amazing wedding day at Dodford Manor, if I could give 6 stars I would!

We honestly can’t say thank you enough for how amazing Dodford Manor Barn was, along with all the incredible staff who helped make our day truly unforgettable. From the moment we visited, we fell in love with the beautiful landscapes, open-plan barns, and stunning large windows that flooded the space with natural light. The venue package was one of the best we saw during our search—it felt like everything we could possibly need was covered. The team at Dodford Manor Barn were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the entire planning process. Communication was open and consistent, which made everything feel so much more manageable and stress-free. We were even able to find all of our wonderful vendors through Dodford Manor Barn, which was a huge bonus! As a bride who suffers from anxiety, I was unwell on the morning of the wedding. But I have to give special thanks to Kayleigh and our vendors, who were absolutely amazing and supported me through every step—they helped me feel calm, cared for, and ready to enjoy the day. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was and how lovely the food turned out. We were also lucky enough to have sunshine all day, topped off with a beautiful sunset in the evening—it truly felt magical. Thank you again, Dodford Manor Barn, for being such a perfect place to start our next chapter.

The Wedding of our Dreams - Beyond Perfect! The Wedding of our Dreams - Beyond Perfect!
From the moment we booked our wedding at Dodford Manor, we knew we were in good hands—but nothing could have prepared us for just how extraordinary the experience would be. Every single detail was handled with such precision, care, and genuine warmth that it truly felt like a dream come to life. The venue itself is breathtaking, but what made our day unforgettable was the impeccable service. The entire team operated like a well-oiled machine, making sure everything ran smoothly while keeping the atmosphere joyful and stress-free. Their attention to detail was second to none—no request was too big or too small. We want to give a heartfelt, special shoutout to *Lydia*, our incredible Wedding Manager. From our first meeting to the final dance, she was nothing short of amazing. Lydia went above and beyond at every turn—anticipating needs before we even voiced them, coordinating flawlessly with suppliers, and offering support with a calming confidence that put us completely at ease, (apart from making me cry the second I saw her! 😂). Her passion for what she does shone through in every interaction, and our day would not have been the same without her. Thanks to this amazing venue and its phenomenal team (especially Lydia!), we were able to truly enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing everything was in the best possible hands. If you're considering this venue for your big day—don’t hesitate. It’s everything you hope for, and more. We want to do it over and over! A day we will NEVER forget!!

It’s such a special placeIt’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.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.
