Dodford Manor

Dodford manor is an amazing wedding venue. From the very beginning when we first stepped into the venue to look around we fell in love. We knew we had to have our wedding there. After booking the venue we had amazing contact with the staff from booking our food tasting session. To a general email to see how our wedding planning was going. The planning meeting was well organised and we were able to talk through exactly what we wanted and no want was too big for the team. When we dropped off all of our decorations and drinks everything was well organised and the staff were happy to help. On the day of the wedding nothing was too big to ask. We were merged by Hannah on arrival and were offered tea and coffee this was as Hannah continued to help my now husband set up all of our decor. The staff helped us both to hold down the nerves as the ceremony grew closer and Hannah was there to support us throughout the whole day from start to finish.

We tied the knot in August 2024 at this absolutely beautiful venue. We kept decorations to a minimum as the venue itself is stunning and can be dressed up or down as much or little as you wish. Great for a tight budget like we had, not that our guests would have known as the service and food was amazing! We had Sky as our events manager for the day who helped keep us to timings and ensure everyone was where they needed to be, probably more so than the designated ushers, all whilst staying fairly well tucked in the background. From viewing and booking the venue for our big day, there was always someone available to answer any questions or worries making planning your day that bit easier.

After 29 years together, we finally took the plunge and had the best day ever, with family and friends at the best venue

We were married at Dodford Manor on the 5th July 2024. We had an amazing day at this fantastic venue, we wanted to source wine from our second home in France, as we lived there for 12 years, the no corkage was just perfect. The whole day ran without a hitch thanks to Sky and her fantastic team. If you are looking for a venue where you are looked after from start to finish, look no further, nothing is too much trouble for anyone you speak to at Dodford. The views across the countryside are stunning, and the whole place is exclusively yours for the whole day. The food from Jenkinsons caterers was amazing. We would recommend Dodford to anyone looking for the perfect venue. Thank you Dodford for making our special day, just perfect. Sandie and Kevin.

Dodford Manor was just wonderful and their team just as amazing. From our initial viewing through to our Wedding day, there was always someone on hand to answer questions, no matter how small. They embraced my ideas to include some Polish traditions which made the day so special. Our friends and family are still telling us what a beautiful venue it was and how wonderfully attentive the staff were. Hannah was our on the day coordinator making sure every element ran smoothly from start to finish. Thank you x

Dodford are a well oiled, professional and beyond friendly wedding machine!!! They made our day smooth, from start to finish!! Not only is the venue beautiful and makes your wedding photos look stunning naturally, the team go out of the way to make all aspects of your day perfect! If I could get married again tomorrow (same husband), I’d choose them every time! Shout out to Abbie who is just the kindest lady, who really felt like our friend, not just the planner! 😍♥️

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, she set everything out exactly as we’d asked for and the venue looked amazing. The food and service in the day from Jenkinsons was fantastic and we couldn’t have asked for anymore. It’s such a special place and we’ll be forever thankful that we chose to get married here. Thank you!

We had a couple of reservations heading into the day, for example how the Dodford team would pull everything together, with decorations, suppliers etc with us not being there to coordinate, but we didn't need to worry about anything on the day. The coordinators - Abbie and Kayleigh - were on top of everything all day, and Will the catering manager from Jenkinsons was an absolute star. The food was amazing, it was served piping hot (one of our reservations) and the portions sizes are spot on. The day went better than we even could have hoped for and both the Dodford and Jenkinsons teams were huge contributors to that. We had so many compliments from our guests on the venue, the food and the service that they deserve huge congratulations.

My husband and I got married here in September 2023 and had the most amazing day, Abbie and the the team did an incredible job of making it as stress-free as possible for us. One of the things that drew us to look at this venue was the no-corkage perk which was perfect as our friends and family are big drinkers, but there was a good selection of drinks at fair prices at the bar for after the wedding breakfast. The barn itself is gorgeous, set in the beautiful countryside in Northamptonshire with sheep and llamas in the fields close by. We were able to get some beautiful wedding photos with the sunset over the fields. The courtyard was ideal for providing games for the kids and ensuring they weren't out of sight. The white company soap and hand cream in the toilets was a lovely touch. Whilst we were provided a PSL to choose a DJ/band from, Dodford were very accommodating when we asked to use a band that wasn't on the list so we were able to enjoy our wedding party as we'd planned. The food was exquisite, we loved that we were able to go for a free meal tasting session before and enjoy some wine along with a taster of many of the dishes where a lot of venues would charge for this. We had lots of compliments at the quality and quantity of the food, guests told us it was the first wedding they've been to where they were stuffed after the meal. Abbie was our coordinator for the day and did an outstanding job of making the whole day run seamlessly, we were really lucky to have her there. A massive thank you to the whole team at Dodford for making our day so special. Friends advised me to expect for something to go wrong on my wedding day but not one thing did and that's largely down to the team for helping us prepare so well and supporting us on the day.

Dodford hosted our wedding on 4th November 2023. The whole experience from when we viewed and booked the venue, to the day itself, was exceptional. The team were so helpful in explaining their terms and conditions, what service we could expect and recommended some fantastic suppliers. We had a pre-wedding day meeting where they ran through the whole running of the day and the tream always responded quickly to our queries via email. Our event manager on the day was Lauren. Lauren was fantastic, she and her team looked after us so well, making sure everything ran smoothly. All our guests commented on how great the service was and how friendly the team were. We were so impressed with the catering service from Jenkinsons. The food was incredible and the team were brilliant. The food on the day surpassed the tasting event, which was also fantastic. The venue was the perfect setting for our wedding. It's elegant, classy and spacious and required very little decor from us. Lauren and the Jenkinsons team set up the barns perfectly. The morning after our wedding everything had been packed up perfectly for us to collect. I would highly recommend booking with Dodford for your wedding.
