Just. Perfect
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.

Best day of our lives
Where do we start?! Dodford Manor were accommodating and so open and clear with how the day will run. They made sure that everything ran so smoothly, which it did. Our wedding manager Abbie was absolutely fantastic. She was always available if we had any questions and she was so warm and welcoming, we felt so comfortable and calm when she was around before we walked down the aisle. The venue is amazing value for money and it really does sell itself, I don’t know why anyone would get married anywhere else!!! The caterers they worked with, Jenkinsons, were also absolutely incredible. So attentive all evening, professional and the service was fantastic. Dodford truly did give us the best day of our lives and we will remember it forever as a happy, fun, love filled day. No amount of words can be used to thank everyone involved for ensuring our day was perfect.

Perfect day
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.
Couldn’t recommend this venue enough for your special day

Dream come true
We are so grateful to Dodford Manor, the whole team and specifically Kayleigh our wedding coordinator for our magical wedding!
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!
Dodford were incredible! We got married this month and everything about the day was perfect! The day felt like it went smoothly and nothing was too much! Special thanks to Sky for running the venue on the day! It was excellent service and it was so easy to change things on the fly if needed too! Everyone we met with or emailed between show round and the day was so lovely and so attentive!
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!!

Perfection!
Absolutely amazing! 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. If you're looking for a beautiful venue with a team who truly cares, we couldn't recommend Dodford Manor more highly.

Dodford Manor - You Simply are The Best!
The Dodford Manor Team,
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

A beautiful wedding at Dodford Manor
I got married at Dodford Manor in February this year. A great time was had by all and I will be recommending the venue to any friends planning weddings.
The weather was bad on the day so we didn’t get to use the outside area very much, but it didn’t matter as the inside is so lovely.
Sky was really helpful and put me at ease on the day. Questions in the lead up and on the day were answered quickly and I was made to feel like the only bride in the world!

Mr and Mrs Price Wedding
Dodford was the first venue we looked at shortly after we got engaged. The staff were friendly and relaxed when we had a tour, I knew it was the place for us! I think Lydia telling my now husband that we couldn’t have fireworks due to the animals nearby but we could have a fire performer outside, sold the deal for us! I got an amazing fire performer as a surprise for my husband and the guests after we had sparklers, and it just completed an amazing day!
We heard such positive things Dodford about how professional and smooth running weddings have been from our suppliers, and you guys didn’t disappoint. You handled the day so well, we didn’t worry about a thing and just enjoyed ourselves the whole day.
We honestly had so many lovely messages and conversations after our wedding about how the venue was amazing, everything and everyone was catered for, from my 88 year old Nan, to young children who could play and enjoy the outdoors with a scoop of amazing ice cream. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better day, we would do it again in a heartbeat if we could! Thank you for making the day so seamless! We are eternally grateful to everyone at Dodford for making our dreams come true becoming Mr and Mrs Price!

The perfect venue - the perfect team!
It goes without saying that Dodford is a fab venue.... stunning set up, well maintained, clean, perfect grounds etc... but the best thing about Dodford is the team! I had super high expectations of any wedding venue I booked as I used to run a wedding venue myself (potential nightmare client 😂).... from the 1st viewing the team were fantastic. Relaxed, stress free, organised, professional, knowledgeable, flexible but mostly importantly friendly which gave me complete confidence in them delivering my perfect day.
In the run up to the big day the team are super responsive on email and phone We didn't meet our Event Manager, Lydia, until the day but I was always confident that they work as a whole team and therefore having 1 point of contact was not necessary at all.
In the day Lydia was amazing! Still relaxed and professional and the whole day ran so smoothly. Every requirement was perfect, on time, delivered exceptionally.
We had the best day, thank you to the whole team (especially Lydia!)
