Perfect day

Dodford 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. Thank you so much to Ben, Becca and the whole team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect

A wonderful Country Venue

The Dodford Inn is a wonderful country venue which is family run and offers you fantastic customer service. Through all of the planning stages of our wedding, Ben offered us lots of advice and their online portal helps you plan and finalise all of the important details. Their use of the beautiful space available at The Dodford Inn, has been brilliantly thought through and our marriage ceremony, wedding breakfast and evening reception blended into each stage of the day seamlessly. The food was superb throughout the day and we stayed overnight in their stunning accommodation. We would not change a thing about our wedding and would highly recommend The Dodford Inn for your wedding, you won’t regret it!

The Dodford Inn allowed us to have the perfect wedding day. No request was too big or small and they were so accommodating. The day ran so smoothly due to great planning from the venue. The food was also incredible with fantastic portion sizes that every guest loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue that made the day as stress free as possible!

The most perfect day!

We only have wonderful things to say about The Dodford Inn, from the first meeting with Ben we felt so welcome. The Dodford Inn was the first wedding venue we looked at and we instantly loved it, we booked our date and from then nothing was too much trouble. Communication was great, our wishes were listened too and we felt that we were able to have the relaxed wedding we both wanted. Our wedding day was exactly what we had hoped for and more, the venue looked beautiful and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Ben and Becky and the whole team were fantastic, we felt like nothing was too much to ask, the day ran smoothly and the hard work that was put into getting the accommodation finished so that it was ready was really appreciated. The food throughout the day was delicious, so many of our guests commented on the quality of the food. Everything was perfect, we highly recommend The Dodford Inn, we couldn’t have asked for more.

The best day we could have wished for!

After visiting many wedding venues, we stumbled upon the Dodford inn, a former pub in a quiet scenic location. Upon our first visit to the Dodford we we're sold, it is a beautiful venue which can cater for either small or larger events due to the acres of land surrounding the immaculate stunning facilities. Everything from the planning to on the day couldn't of gone better for us. Ben and the team we're on hand for everything we needed or was worried about. They offered a wide range of options for our wedding breakfast, we we're spoilt for choice and they catered for all. The day itself was a magical experience from the ceremony up until midnight. The feedback from the guests was brilliant, the food, the decor and the effort made by the dodford did not go unnoticed. We recommend the dodford to all couples looking for a venue to tie the knot.

The best day of our lives

We honestly cannot recommend this venue enough! Becky and Ben especially could not have done more for us from the start of the process to the very end. No request was too big and they made every single dream come true. The feedback from our guests was absolutely outstanding. Something that stood out to us was Becky and Ben’s willingness to know and learn as much about us as a couple, especially a same sex couple that requires a slightly different approach to the day than a straight couple would.

The perfect wedding venue.

We recently had our wedding at the Dodford Inn and we are still in awe of our day. Ben, Becky and the team could have done more for us, they were so accommodating and made sure that our day ran as smoothly as it did. Without them it wouldn't have been possible. The venue itself is stunning, set in beautiful grounds it is the perfect wedding venue. We loved the pub as a pub, but now we love it even more as our perfect wedding venue. We could not recommend The Dodford Inn enough and would have given 6 stars if we could. This place and the people there are spectacular. Thank you all so much for making us so happy. Eve and Greg
