The perfect autumnal wedding day!

Dovecliff went above and beyond to provide us with the perfect day ever. Leading up to the wedding, they were very responsive and flexible with questions and requests, and they never made us feel like we were asking for too much or something silly. On the day, the team was perfect, and in particular, family members and guests noted the astounding job Jordan did coordinating the day, getting stuck in any tasks, and being super friendly and approachable. As even 6 months on now from the wedding day (November 2024), my Grandpa still highly praises Jordan! There was loads of food, a nice selection of drinks, the rooms were super luxurious, they allow dogs, and the whole vibe of the day was perfect. Honestly, I can't think of anything to improve from the day, so I highly recommend you pick this venue for your wedding!

Our Beautiful Wedding Day

Dovecliff went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams a reality. From the thoughtful coordination by Jordan to the flawless service and delicious meals, every detail was handled with care and excellence. It was everything we hoped for—and more. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our day truly unforgettable.

Excellent all round

We can truthfully say that we had the wedding we'd always hoped for. From our first meeting with Jordan, everything went smoothly. She helped to coordinate the different suppliers making it possible to be a much more relaxed bride than I anticipated.
It was obvious that the staff genuinely wanted our wedding to be a success, and they did everything to make it so.
Dovecliff Hall Hotel is a beautiful venue, both for your ceremony and reception, and having the whole place to ourselves made for a relaxed yet extra special day.
10/10 would recommend.

Just had our wedding and we are so, so pleased with how it went at Dovecliff. A little review could never do it full justice! The food and venue were absolutely beautiful. They offer exclusive use and rooms to stay in, with a package tailored perfectly to our needs.

We had a truly wonderful day, made even more special by the staff and by Jordan, the coordinator, whose sharp eye for detail made everything run seamlessly.

If you’re looking for a venue that really knows what they’re doing and offers incredible value for money, look no further!

I cannot thank Dovecliff Hall Hotel enough for everything they did to make our dream wedding! Jordan has been amazing from start to finish! Herself and and Luke made everything run so smoothly on the day! Nothing was too much effort, you were happy to help with everything that was asked and it was like you was there as a friend not just a coordinator. I've had numerous comments from my bridesmaids and guests about how helpful you were and how you made everything stress free! Thankyou so much! And to all the staff at the hotel we've had an amazing experience! Everyone has commented on how lovely the food was too it was just a dream from beginning to end!

The wedding we always wanted

We approached The Dovecliff to host our Vow renewal to celebrate 20 years and from the very first meeting they were extremely professional and open to making the day completely personal and bespoke to us. We had numerous meetings with no time restraints on chatting ideas through. They accommodated our guests very well and welcomed them brilliantly, many coming from overseas, with lots of different arrival and departure dates and time and last minute changes. None of this phased the team there and it was all just handled superbly. They hosted a beautiful meal the evening before our ceremony, making changes to the menu where we asked. On the day of our 'Rewed' they were simply incredible. They liaised with the suppliers, the timings were on point. The staff on the day were simply amazing, so efficient, they found the wavelength of our guests and had a great rapport with all of them. We can not thank them enough. If you are looking for a venue for any occasion then this is the one!

Hakes wedding

We had our wedding back here in June, the day was amazing as was the venue, all our guests and ourselves enjoyed the food, everything was on time with no real waiting. To be 100% honest the original wedding coordinator wasn't brilliant with keeping in touch until last minute, nearer to the time the person changed to Jordan who couldn't have done any more for us if she tried, she was so well organised and brilliant on the day with the planning etc.

Wedding 2024

We had an amazing wedding day at Dovecliff Hall Hotel. On our first visit, we fell in love with the gorgeous staircase as you walk in, the beautiful observatory, the spacious bedrooms and in particular the scenic grounds. It was the perfect size for our wedding party and provided exclusivity which ticked all the boxes for us.

The staff were friendly and attentive, both on the day and throughout the planning process. Bianca, in particular, was incredibly helpful, guiding us every step of the way and always quick to answer any questions we had. On the day, we were made to feel relaxed and comfortable knowing that everything was taken care of by the amazing team.

We would certainly recommend Dovecliff Hall Hotel!
