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. -

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
Mr and Mrs Cole

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!)

From the moment we booked our wedding at Dodford Manor, we knew we were in good hands—but nothing could have prepared us for just how extraordinary the experience would be. Every single detail was handled with such precision, care, and genuine warmth that it truly felt like a dream come to life.
The venue itself is breathtaking, but what made our day unforgettable was the impeccable service. The entire team operated like a well-oiled machine, making sure everything ran smoothly while keeping the atmosphere joyful and stress-free. Their attention to detail was second to none—no request was too big or too small.
We want to give a heartfelt, special shoutout to *Lydia*, our incredible Wedding Manager. From our first meeting to the final dance, she was nothing short of amazing. Lydia went above and beyond at every turn—anticipating needs before we even voiced them, coordinating flawlessly with suppliers, and offering support with a calming confidence that put us completely at ease, (apart from making me cry the second I saw her! 😂). Her passion for what she does shone through in every interaction, and our day would not have been the same without her.
Thanks to this amazing venue and its phenomenal team (especially Lydia!), we were able to truly enjoy every moment of our wedding, knowing everything was in the best possible hands. If you're considering this venue for your big day—don’t hesitate. It’s everything you hope for, and more.
We want to do it over and over!
A day we will NEVER forget!!
Thank you again and all our Love,
Mr & Mr Pargeter-Prince

We honestly can’t say thank you enough for how amazing Dodford Manor Barn was, along with all the incredible staff who helped make our day truly unforgettable.
From the moment we visited, we fell in love with the beautiful landscapes, open-plan barns, and stunning large windows that flooded the space with natural light. The venue package was one of the best we saw during our search—it felt like everything we could possibly need was covered.
The team at Dodford Manor Barn were incredibly friendly and supportive throughout the entire planning process. Communication was open and consistent, which made everything feel so much more manageable and stress-free. We were even able to find all of our wonderful vendors through Dodford Manor Barn, which was a huge bonus!
As a bride who suffers from anxiety, I was unwell on the morning of the wedding. But I have to give special thanks to Kayleigh and our vendors, who were absolutely amazing and supported me through every step—they helped me feel calm, cared for, and ready to enjoy the day.
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how stunning the venue was and how lovely the food turned out. We were also lucky enough to have sunshine all day, topped off with a beautiful sunset in the evening—it truly felt magical.
Thank you again, Dodford Manor Barn, for being such a perfect place to start our next chapter.
With love,
Carter & Emmie (24.03.2025) x -

India Sent on 27/04/2025A 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! -

To The Dodford Team, where do we even start. From the multiple viewing sessions with different family and friends, to the trillions of questions I asked, to the service, and support on the day (and day prior). At each stage of our planning process you’ve been out of this world and made our wedding journey a joy.
As someone who loved to plan and do everything I was always a little worried about just dropping things off and leaving it to be arranged. Well if there is one piece of advice I can share with other people considering booking Dodford, or have booked… don’t be worry. Even with only accessing the venue at 11:00, they were hot on EVERYTHING. And I mean everything, from the chairs being moved in the Mortain Barn to make space for cocktail hour, decor being set up, and then moved. You name it, everything was done perfectly. Even a year or more out you’re made to feel like the only couple in the world, let alone on the day.
We’ll be forever grateful to the whole team, but in particular Abbie who has been an absolute gem on the day as well as the rest of the team present.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts. May your success and service continue long into the future. Many thanks The Radburns -
