Reviews for Dodford Manor - Barn Wedding Venue
Just. Perfect
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.
The most amazing venue!
If you're considering having your wedding at Dodford Manor then DO IT!!!
We have just celebrated our wedding at Dodford Manor and not only is the venue absolutely beautiful but the staff are just amazing and an absolute credit to Dodford.
Special shoutout to Lydia who completely made our day. Although we provided the decorations, Lydia set them all up on the morning of our wedding and they looked even better than i could ever imagine. This took away so much stress, knowing i didn't have to worry about a thing! Lydia and all the staff at Dodford are always an email away for any questions/queries you may have, however stupid it may be! Nothing is too much with them and i can't thank them enough for helping make our day incredible!
The no-corkage is absolutely amazing which allowed us to supply whatever drinks we wanted for the reception and wedding breakfast. They were all kept chilled by Dodford and were all prepared for us as soon as our ceremony had finished. Jenkinsons caterers are also absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing!!
The facilities are perfect, nice big modern toilets - the bridal suite is another brilliant touch, which allowed some time away from guests if needed and just a nice special area to use.
Everything went so smoothly and we couldn't fault a single thing!
Highly recommend Dodford Manor completely. Thank you so much again ❤️
A fantastic and beautiful venue with brilliant staff.
We had the best day and it could not have gone any better - even the weather was on our side! Everything you all did was fantastic, the day was so well organised, and all staff were so friendly and helpful. Throughout the planning stage, the team were always quick to get back to me with any question I had and we just felt so well looked after. From meeting them at the initial venue viewing to our wedding day, we could not fault anything. Thank you for making our day so perfect!
I would 10000% recommend this wedding venue for your special day, they are amazing.
Amazing Venue and Staff
A huge thank you to Lydia, who was absolutely amazing throughout the process and on the day itself. She was so organised, calm, and genuinely kind, making everything feel effortless for us. Knowing we were in such capable hands allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment especially as I usually like to be in control. The whole Dodford Manor team were fantastic, with incredible attention to detail when setting up all my DIY decor it was exactly how I pictured and imagined it.
Our guests are still talking about how stunning the venue was and how amazing the food was. We’re sharing photos and videos to show just how magical the day truly was. Dodford Manor — and especially Lydia — helped create memories we’ll cherish forever, and we couldn’t recommend the venue highly enough
Fantastic Venue!
Best day of our lives
Perfect day
Couldn’t recommend this venue enough for your special day

Dream come true
This team has been nothing but great answering any question and query in mere minutes. Sending us positive caring notes to celebrate how close the wedding is. Even if any issues did occur they fix them seamlessly and without any problem.
All of our guests couldn’t believe how beautiful the venue was saying it was their favourite they have ever seen. We felt like we were treated like royalty and the entire experience was clash, elegant and stress free. Just to echo again our gratitude to the great staff! You all without exception were such a pleasure to work with!
Excellent service, beautiful venue!
The venue is absolutely stunning, it is the only venue we saw and we just knew it was perfect, we booked straight away and we're so glad we did! Highly recommend booking!
Jenkinsons, the sole caterers, were excellent too. Excellent service and the most incredible food!
We had the most amazing day and so did all our guests! Highly recommend!!
Amazing venue!!
Perfection!
Thank you again for everything,

Dodford Manor - You Simply are The Best!
We just wanted to take this opportunity to express our thanks for making our day so special! From our very first meeting with Abbie where we left feeling that there couldn’t possibly be anywhere else we could get married apart from Dodford Manor to the day itself where Kayleigh made sure it couldn’t have gone any more perfectly than it did. Nothing could have prepared us for simply how amazing our was.
Every single detail was perfected and you simply brought all our hopes and dreams to life. For someone who finds it very difficult to let go and not be in control you made me feel incredibly relaxed and reassured that everything would be fine (which it most definitely was). Kayleigh went above and beyond and ensured the day ran smoothly, coordinating flawlessly with suppliers, offering words of reassurance including making sure my sister felt confident when singing for the Father Daughter dance. There is a clear passion for shown by Kayleigh for her job and it makes all the difference.
When reflecting on our day, words will never be enough to show our appreciation and thanks for the phenomenal team at Dodford. We highly recommend the venue and the team they simply are magical and help make dreams come true.
We wish we could do it all over again and can’t wait to share our photos with you when we receive them.
All our Love and Best Wishes
