We cannot thank the team at Dodford Manor enough for the most magical wedding day!
I was against having a barn venue but my husband insisted we went to a viewing day and I wanted to book it within the first five minutes of arriving. From Abbie showing us round the venue and patiently asking all of our questions and explaining next steps, to Kayleigh arranging our pre-wedding meeting and running everything seamlessly and discreetly on the day, they are flawless. The location is also stunning, our guests kept commenting on it and how nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Thank you for helping us to make such cherished memories x -

Dodford Manor was just wonderful and their team just as amazing. From our initial viewing through to our Wedding day, there was always someone on hand to answer questions, no matter how small. They embraced my ideas to include some Polish traditions which made the day so special. Our friends and family are still telling us what a beautiful venue it was and how wonderfully attentive the staff were. Hannah was our on the day coordinator making sure every element ran smoothly from start to finish. Thank you x -

Wedding Day Bliss! 😍♥️
Dodford are a well oiled, professional and beyond friendly wedding machine!!! They made our day smooth, from start to finish!!
Not only is the venue beautiful and makes your wedding photos look stunning naturally, the team go out of the way to make all aspects of your day perfect!
If I could get married again tomorrow (same husband), I’d choose them every time!
Shout out to Abbie who is just the kindest lady, who really felt like our friend, not just the planner! 😍♥️ -

Sarah C. Sent on 23/04/2024An amazing venue with an Amazing team
We chose to have our wedding at Dodford manor, and we do not regret our decision in the slightest. The venue was incredible, and the team were just as amazing - working hard behind the scenes to ensure our wedding day ran smoothly.
From our initial viewing day to the wedding day itself, we had nothing but great experiences. The Team is very good and quick to reply to any emails, phone calls or any enquiries and we found them very accommodating, informative, professional, and very friendly.
Our wedding co-ordinator for the day was Abbie – she was an absolute superstar; we were very thankful to have her as part of our team. Both me and my husband said how well run and stress free the day felt for us as the bride and groom.
All our guests commented on how amazing the venue was from how beautiful the barns were to how incredible for the food was. If you are looking for a wedding venue – we would highly recommend Dodford Manor.

Words can’t express how much the team made our special day beautiful and so memorable. We had evening guests that turned up during the day and the team were able to make adjustments to accommodate everyone. Our wedding coordinator Kayleigh was amazing! I couldn’t praise her enough. The venue was beautiful, and honestly we would do it all over again at Dodford Manor! I would 100% recommend. -

The best day of our lives
I don’t even know where to start with this review! There are no words to describe how truly incredible Dodford Manor and its staff are.
The whole process from viewing the venue up to collecting our things the day after the big day was seamless. Dodford couldn’t be more helpful at anytime of day any questions got answered so quickly.
Abbie coordinated our day, she was amazing! So talented in what she does, the amount of hard work and effort that goes into the day is unbelievable! We did all the decorations ourselves so Abbie had a big task putting it all together, she did it perfectly exactly how I imagined it.
We had so many comments about how beautiful the venue is, how beautiful the location was, how incredible the day was and so many people said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. We loved being able to organise our own drinks through the no corkage policy, and the way Jenkinsons served them was faultless.
Jenkinsons, the Dodford Manor caterers were also amazing. The brilliant taster day gave you lovely ideas, but the options they offer you are endless! The soup we wanted wasn’t on the menu but they made it for us and it was incredible! They catered so well for every dietary requirement and allergies we had!
I would 100% recommend Dodford Manor to anyone looking for the most magical wedding day. We wish we could do it all over again it was perfect! -

We cannot recommend Dodford Manor enough! We spent a long time looking for venues online and when we found Dodford Manor, it was the first one that ticked all of our boxes. We went to view the venue (the only one we liked enough to go a view!) and immediately knew this was the venue for us. The staff were all so lovely, positive and enthusiastic - you really got the impression they loved their jobs. We felt like they understood our requirements and were accommodating to all of our suggestions. They made the whole process so enjoyable and both my now wife (ahhh!) and I were able to just have fun planning rather than feeling stressed. A real bonus for us was that we were able to drop off all of our wedding stationary and equipment the 2 mornings prior to the wedding (both mornings). They came out to help with transporting all of it and kept it safe in a shed to the side of the venue, ready for them to set up and take down for us, so there was no stress or pressure on us or our loved ones on the morning of the wedding or the day after. We also got married on site so there was never any travel necessary behind venues which we were looking for. Not to mention the venue itself is stunning and the location is perfect for those sunset photos! I had the privilege of using their beauty room on the morning of the wedding which is another unique benefit - it had everything we needed!
Jenkinsons caterering were the caterers that came with the venue and everyone commented on how lovely the food was. We had a food tasting day with other couples which they set up in the way a wedding would flow which was a really nice touch! We ate SO MUCH food (it’s a definite tasting!) and this really helped us picked our menu for the wedding. They were very accommodating of our guests and any dietary advice also!
We would really like to highlight one member of staff in particular: Skye! She was our wedding coordinator on the day and my gosh she absolutely smashed it! Nothing was ever too much, communication was spot on and we seemlessly went through the day without a hitch because of her busy bee-ing behind the scenes! We couldn’t believe she was there from 8am until we left at around 12:30am! It also helped that she was the loveliest person so everyone got on really well.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for anything more from a venue and we so appreciate all of the time and effort that went into making our day so special. Thank you, Dodford! -

My wife and I chose to get married in the beautiful setting of Dodford Manor after finding it online we fell in love with the views and character.
We visited the venue after 2 weeks of being engaged and booked it the same day. This was one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding.
The staff answered all our questions (even at unsociable hours!) from 18 months away to less than 24 hours away. We were able to make the day completely our own; particularly with decorations as we made a lot of our own things and had very specific instructions regarding them. These were followed by Abbie to the exact letter, we couldn't fault a thing. This made our morning a lot less stresfull knowing everything was being looked after and would be exactly as requested.
We had a few somewhat unique special requests, with my wifes family being Polish, and the traditions that come with this. The venue upheld these tradition as far as physcailly possible and this really helped make our day even more special.
Guests came away from the day saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to and one of the most gorgeous venues. As well as remarking how full they were and how good the food was, Jenkinsons Caterers (the in house required caterers) did a fantastic job with our (somewhat complex) food requirements.
Not sure how they do this evey day, but I hope for peoples happiness they never stop 5000/10 :D
This was our dream day, that went off without a hitch, this wouldnt have been possible without the hard work, care and consideration of everyone at Dodford,
Love and thanks,
Mr & Mrs Metcalfe -
