    Outstanding!

    Absolutely incredible from start to finish

    We honestly cannot recommend Dodford Manor highly enough. We got married here recently and from the very beginning of the planning process right through to the last dance, the whole team were absolutely exceptional.

    The venue itself is stunning, but what really made the experience for us was the people. Everyone we dealt with was helpful, courteous, friendly and incredibly professional. Everything was delivered to a phenomenal standard, and the feedback we’ve had from our family and friends has been just as enthusiastic. So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the venue was and how brilliant the team were.

    A very special mention has to go to our wedding coordinator, Kayleigh, who was an absolute dream to work with. She was fantastic throughout the planning and completely brilliant on the day. She kept us on track (and occasionally in check! 😂), dealt with everything so calmly and professionally, and gave us the confidence to relax and actually enjoy our wedding day. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for anyone better.

    The food, provided by Jenkinsons, was outstanding and the service throughout the day was fantastic. Our guests are still talking about the food - which is probably the highest compliment we can give! 😂

    Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be and more, and Dodford Manor played a huge part in making that happen.

    If you’re considering Dodford Manor for your wedding, do it. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and would happily do it all over again.

    Thank you to the entire Dodford Manor team for helping give us the most incredible day. ❤️

    Best Day of our Lives

    Prior to getting engaged and starting to look for venues I had never heard of Dodford Manor. After booking the venue and telling people where we got married it appeared that most people seemed to have been to a wedding here - now I know why.

    Dodford was the first venue we visited and as soon as we walked in we knew it was the one. We did visit a couple of others just to check we weren’t getting carried away and over excited by the first thing we had seen but nothing compared to how Dodford made us feel.

    The whole team and systems that they have in place run like clock-work. There was never a second during our wedding day that I even thought about what time it was, what was happening, were things being done as Sky was just seamlessly going about her business in the background. It was even mentioned by family members afterwards how well the day was organised and managed by Sky. Simple but effective which made the whole day completely relaxed and enjoyable for everyone.

    Jenkinsons Caterers were amazing and again we have had many comments about how good the food was.

    Although we are a chilled, laidback couple there is always still an air of anxiety about how the day will go and whether people will enjoy it. We honestly had the best day of our lives and a massive part of that was down to Dodford.

    Thank you all

    Wedding day

    We had our wedding day on Monday and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! The venue is absolutely stunning. Both Kayleigh and Sarah were incredibly helpful on the day! Everything went off without a hitch.

    Our dream wedding come true

    We had our wedding at Dodford Manor in May and can honestly say that every aspect of our day was 5 stars!
    Kayleigh our event manager made sure that everything was set up correctly on the day and that everything ran smoothly. All of our guests said that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
    Thankyou for making our dream wedding come true.

    The best day of our lives 🤍

    We knew Dodford Manor was our dream venue from the first time we saw it.

    The venue is absolutely gorgeous, with well-maintained grounds and stunning barns for both the ceremony and the reception. Everything about the venue was simply beautiful.

    In the lead up to the wedding, the team were always on hand and ready to help with anything we needed. The communication was impeccable and we didn’t feel stressed at any point. The free taster event helped us decide on suppliers and get real ideas for what we wanted in terms of decoration, food, cake etc.

    On the day, the team were exceptional- friendly and professional and always on hand to make sure everything was running smoothly. They made sure that everything happened at the correct time and that everybody was happy and enjoying themselves. The attention to detail and organisation by the team, made the entire process so easy.

    As we both had family travelling from both ends of the country, having access to the Manor House accommodation was super helpful. The booking process was easy and all guests who stayed commented on how great the rooms were and how lovely the staff were. For family who didn’t stay in the onsite accommodation, there was more, lovely and accessible accommodation (Staverton Park Hotel and Golf Course) literally 7 minutes away! Both were very popular with our guests.

    We could not recommend Dodford Manor enough. It is a fantastic venue, that offers a wonderful atmosphere, excellent service and a memorable experience for both us and our guests. This is the most beautiful place for anybody looking to celebrate their special day.

    Thank you for sharing the best day of our lives with us 🤍

    Let's go back to the future wedding!


    Let me take you back in time to the most perfect day at Dodford Manor!

    We had our special day in May, and we cannot thank the whole team over at Dodford enough. Lydia was our Event Manager on the day and she was AMAZING, she is so passionate to get things running perfectly so we didn't have to think about anything.

    From our very first viewing we knew instantly that we wanted our wedding there. We paticularly loved the stunning views and rustic, yet elegant feel of the whole venue. The fact that they have no corkage charge was a bonus, meaning we could bring our own drinks to use right up to the end of the wedding breakfast!

    The team were quick to answer any of our questions and always seemed genuine excited for our day to arrive. Nothing was ever too much for them.

    We would like to thank every single member of the team over at Dodford for making us feel like royalty, not just on the day but the whole lead up too. Everything was perfect. I've lost count of the amount of complements we have received from our guests on finding such a beautiful venue.

    We would absolutely recommend Dodford Manor to any couple looking for a beautiful, well run, countryside venue.

    Thank you for everything,
    Kim and Ant

    Incredible Venue and Staff!

    From the first time we went to view Dodford Manor we knew it was the venue for us and how right were we! The Venue itself is stunning situated around farmland, the barns are light and beautiful, but the staff were incredible throughout the whole 18 months of planning to the day of our wedding. They always responded to our emails efficiently, with a detailed answer and always knew the answer to my many questions that I had. The staff are super friendly, smiley and welcoming. We went to the venue several times before our big day, which was never an issue or a problem. We had Sky as our wedding co-ordinator who helped ensure our day went seamlessly, who was amazing at setting everything up as well as bringing everything back down ready for us to take the next day. Dodford Manor runs like a well-oiled machine everyone knows exactly what they’re doing and are all extremely professional. My guests haven't stopped mentioning how lovely all the staff were. The catering staff are amazing, Becki who is part of Jenkinsons was amazing, we had quite a lot of dietary requirements one being celiac but nothing was an issue, she liaised with my wedding guest and sorted everything out between them so I didn't have to worry about that which was a massive relief and help! as well as being amazing and accommodating for preparing food for my Nan who had Dementia. Everybody at Dodford Manor really did go above and beyond. Everything on the day went perfectly from start to finish which was due to all the hard work and dedication that everyone at Dodford Manor put in.

    A fantastic and beautiful venue with brilliant staff.

    We just want to say a huge THANK YOU for everything that all the staff did to make our day so amazing! 
    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

    We had the most incredible wedding day at Dodford Manor on 28th August 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better venue. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The barns are absolutely beautiful and the setting created the perfect atmosphere for both our ceremony and party.

    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
