From the first visit we knew the Dodford is where we wanted to get married.
From start to finish Ben, Becky and the team went above and beyond in making our wedding day perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble and the communication was spot on.
The venue and grounds are beautiful and well looked after. Everyone commented on how good the food was and generous portions.
The accommodation is stunning and a perfect space for bride/groom parties to get ready.
The bridal suite is unreal!
I can’t recommend the Dodford enough, it’s a lovely venue, the team are incredible and made our day seamless.

We recently celebrated our wedding at The Dodford Inn, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. From the very first visit, we were blown away by the beauty of the venue — the rolling countryside views, the beautifully kept gardens, and the charming barn-style interior created the ideal setting for our special day.
A huge and heartfelt thank you to Ben, Becky, and the entire team for going above and beyond at every stage of the process. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were exceptional. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made us feel completely at ease from start to finish.
Ben and Becky were both incredibly responsive and supportive throughout the planning stages, offering helpful suggestions while always respecting our plans. On the day itself, they ensured everything ran seamlessly — we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. The service was flawless, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was just what we had hoped for: relaxed, joyful, and full of love.
So many of our guests commented on what a stunning venue it was and how well looked-after they felt — a true testament to the team’s dedication and care.
If you're looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty, exceptional service, and a personal touch, The Dodford Inn is it. Thank you again, Ben, Becky, and everyone who helped make our day so unforgettable — we will treasure it forever.

We had the most wonderful wedding at the The Dodford Inn, the venue, staff, food.. everything was really special. The packages really take a lot of stress off you having to organise the day and I knew the team would take care of everything. I wish I could do it all over again! -

We got married at the Dodford Inn on Saturday 17th May 2025. We genuinely can’t find the words to describe how incredible this venue is and how amazing our special day was.
Choosing a venue is so hard, there are so many options but we had a good idea in our heads. When we walked in to the Dodford Inn, we knew immediately in our hearts that this was the perfect venue for us with a rustic feel! We met Becky and she was so lovely and explained all of the options to us. When she said they had a Saturday in May, Claire’s face lit up and the plans began.
The way in which their packages work makes life so much easier, so much was included, from reception drinks, canapés and wedding breakfast, decoration, evening food and even a great DJ. This really took the pressure off our planning and we had so much more time to work on the other smaller details.
We then met Ben, he sent us details for the portal and again this made life so much easier as we could just upload the details and send it over. Both Becky and Ben are so thoughtful, they helped come up with ideas and were really flexible with dining options and Ben even got us some Donkey wine where the proceeds go to the donkey sanctuary. We don’t believe we could have ever got this service anywhere else.
The day itself was perfect, the team were so attentive and we felt they were on hand at all times to help us out. The bridal prep room was so handy and was a lovely space to get ready. The room was set up exactly as we asked and the way they move the room round for the wedding breakfast and evening is seamless! To top this off, the bridal suite was incredible, like a luxury hotel!!
The food was out of this world, all guests commented how great it was, high quality and perfect portion sizes.
The venue just has everything, not too big that guests are on top of each other, but intimate to allow that romantic feel. The outdoor space is wonderful, a lovey patio and grounds that are perfect for outdoor shots.
We could not have dreamt of a venue that was so perfect and Becky, Ben and the team made our day magical from start to finish.
The best thing is, they are a restaurant on the weekends when weddings are not taking place so we can go back time and time again to experience their amazing venue and food!
You made our dreams come true and will never forget you.
Rich and Claire

We got married at The Dodford Inn at the end of March and it was the most perfect day! Ben, Becky and the team at the Dodford are the most amazing group of people you will ever meet. They made our day everything we could have ever imagined and more. Nothing was ever too much for any of the team they really do go above and beyond and make you feel so welcome and go out their way to make sure everything is perfect. Thank you to all the team for making our day everything we could have wished for and for making us feel so welcome and treating us so well we would recommend The Dodford Inn for everyone to get married. No words can say how grateful we are to especially Ben and Becky but all of the team 💗💗💗 -

From start to finish we had an amazing experience with Ben and Beckie. Nothing was too much trouble. They helped us to create the day we wanted in the way we wanted. Guests said it was the nicest. Emir they had been to and the best food they had eaten. Everyone was so relaxed and had such an amazing day. Many said the best wedding they had been to because of the venue and what they did for us. The accommodation is also pretty special. I would highly recommend the Dodford inn to anyone who wants a personal day designed around you. A day we will never forget Thank you xx -

We had our wedding at the Dodford Inn this month and wow the day was perfect! Ben and the team were great, they made everyone feel so welcomed and gave our day such a friendly vibe. They went above and beyond with everything we asked and we never felt anything was too big of an ask. The venue was beautifully styled and the warm fairy lights gave such a cosy atmosphere. We had so many compliments for this hidden gem and couldn’t recommend this venue enough.
