    Dodford Manor - The Dream Venue

    We just wanted to say another massive thank you to everyone at Dodford Manor for an amazing day. We are beyond grateful for every staff member that worked and made sure our special day run smoothly on our special day.

    We would both like to personally say thank you to Sky, our amazing event manager. Thank you for always being around when a question needed answering or I needed to be hooked away cause I was needed elsewhere. Thank you for your patience and willingness to help answer a question or problem. You are a real credit to the team and Dodford are very lucky to have you! We wish you and your family all the best ❤️.

    We had so many of our guests come up to us to say how beautiful they thought the venue was and we couldn’t agree more! Everything was perfect and we couldn’t be more grateful.

    If you are looking for a venue which holds everything in one place, beautiful scenery and a team who will truly make you feel like the most important people in the world, then Dodford Manor is the venue for you!

    We wish you all the very best, to infinity and beyond!

    Highly Recommend Dodford as a wedding venue. Outstanding in all aspects for us and made our wedding day truly magical.

    We got married at Dodford Manor last year on Monday 4th September 2023. It was the most magical day at the most wonderful venue. After our first viewing we knew this was the perfect venue for us! The staff were so welcoming and informative, quick at responding to emails/ queries in preparation to our big day.

    The venue is stunning. Beautiful rustic buildings surrounded by the wonderful Northamptonshire countryside especially the sheep :) We loved the fact there was two separate venues for the ceremony and wedding reception. We were very fortunate to have hot weather and being at Dodford meant we could enjoy the sun but also be nice and cool indoors as the air con was fab.


    Organisation was excellent. All of our decorations were pre placed before we arrived at the venue, making preparations quick and efficient before our big day kicked off. Our wedding coordinator Abbie was so kind and a delight on the day ensuring everything was in order and to our needs throughout.


    A great perk at Dodford Manor is the no corkage service meaning we had the option to supply our own drinks during the daytime. This was served by their in house catering company Jenkinsons. Jenkinsons were OUTSTANDING! The service was 5 stars, the food was piping hot and our guests received their food in a timely manner. Many of our guests commented ‘it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had’ During each course, the staff would check up on us and how our food was specifically making us feel very special during the wedding breakfast.

    Overall, we cannot recommend Dodford Manor enough. Massive thanks to all of the staff for making our wedding day the best day ever! xx

    Amazing first moments, followed by every step being just as simple and amazingly handled.

    From the moment we walked into Dodford Manor we were in LOVE - it was the first venue we visited and instantly knew we did not need to search any further.
    Driving into the venue was like driving through a painting with sheep milling across the road and pulling up in front of the stunning barns. The interior of the barns was as beautiful as the outside and every member of staff we have had the pleasure of speaking to are truly fantastic. No query is too small and is answered very quickly with helpful advice along the way, we know, we sent quite a few emails for information over the 2 years of planning.
    On the day Lauren & Hannah were incredible, from understanding the vision we had for our setup and executing it perfectly, to supporting and advising us throughout the set up stage in the morning and allowing Sarah and her bridal party to get ready with no disruption whilst being on hand if any of them needed anything. The day went so smoothly with the staff working as a perfectly oiled machine, even when some of our guests could not make it at the last minute and we asked to remove a table for dinner moments before entering.
    Jenkinsons (the dedicated caterers) were equally as incredible from Megan helping us build the perfect menu, and helping ensure we could have a dish that was not on their menu selections, the catering manager and the team on the day served our guests with a meal we still have guests rave about 6 months later! Every course was cooked to perfection, and served so smoothly.
    If you have any doubts about using Dodford Manor, dismiss them, we would recommend the venue and people every day of the week.

    Everything and more!!

    From our first visit, we knew we wanted Dodford Manor as our wedding venue and we weren’t disappointed. Everything including the location, venue itself, food, service and staff was exceptional and our day couldn’t have been more perfect. A particular thankyou goes to Will who was outstanding on the day. He did everything to ensure we were happy and that everything ran smoothly and nothing was too much trouble. A huge thankyou to all at Dodford for though making our day better than we could have expected xx

    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

    Wonderful venue

    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

    An 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.
