Dream wedding

We had our wedding at Doddington Hall in the Coach House and it truly was a fairytale. The setting was absolutely beautiful, with the gardens providing the perfect backdrop for the ceremony. The staff were outstanding – attentive, helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. They made everything run seamlessly so we could just relax and enjoy the moment.

The food was incredible and so many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed it. In fact, we’ve had countless guests tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t have asked for a more magical day.

If you’re looking for a venue that combines stunning surroundings with exceptional service, Doddington Hall is perfect

A perfect venue and wedding experience.

Justine, Andy, Alice and the wider team took on our last minute wedding to fill one of their late availability slots and guided us through the process with so much support. The venue was absolutely beautiful and the food was great. A perfect venue for weddings and a knowledgeable team always on hand.

Absolutely amazing!

Could not recommend Doddington Hall enough! Everything about the venue - the staff, the food, the service, the venue itself - all was 10/10. Everyone commented on how great it was and they just made our whole day and whole planning run so smoothly. They were great at putting us at ease, throughout the whole 2 years of planning, and especially on the lead up to the wedding. On the day they were all just incredible - every staff member and the food was just amazing.

Beautiful Wedding Venue

Fantastic wedding venue. From when we first looked at it Doddington ticked every box for us. Absolutely stunning venue and grounds; great food; professional, friendly and helpful team; and beautiful well-maintained accommodation that allowed us to have our whole family stay on site. Our day ran so smoothly and went so well thanks to the team at Doddington. They planned every detail and put us at ease about everything, and offered really helpful suggestions. Would highly recommend!

The perfect venue for the perfect day

Justine and the team were outstanding from beginning to end. We were well looked after and the staff on the day and in the morning, for breakfast, were nothing short of brilliance. Definitely made me proud to show off to friends and family.

The on-site accommodation is perfect for pre wedding gatherings on the Friday and of course getting ready Saturday morning. I just want to relive the whole day again.
