Richard Sent on 07/06/2025Stunning wedding venue
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

Sophie Sent on 12/04/2025Incredible wedding venue and team ❤️
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. -

Perfection
Dodford Inn hosted our wedding in October and from beginning to end we had a fantastic experience. They were so accomodating of odd requests and incredibly flexible.
Our guests had the time of their lives due to the excellent food and well priced drinks. The organisation of the day went without a hitch and the coordinators were on hand should we need anything. He even noticed that my new husband and I hadn't eaten, fixed us two plates and suggested we take it to our room to have 15 mins together.
All the staff were incredible on the day and we are so grateful.
And a huge plus are the utterly gorgeous bridal suite and guest rooms!
I'm just disappointed we don't get to do it all over again. Thank you so much to Ben, Becca and the whole team for making our wedding day absolutely perfect -

The perfect wedding venue
We recently had our wedding at the Dodford Inn and we are still in awe of our day.
Ben, Becky and the team could have done more for us, they were so accommodating and made sure that our day ran as smoothly as it did. Without them it wouldn't have been possible.
The venue itself is stunning, set in beautiful grounds it is the perfect wedding venue.
We loved the pub as a pub, but now we love it even more as our perfect wedding venue.
We could not recommend The Dodford Inn enough and would have given 6 stars if we could. This place and the people there are spectacular.
Thank you all so much for making us so happy.

Rachael Sent on 23/09/2024An excellent wedding venue!
We had our wedding in August of 2024 and The Dodford Inn was a wonderful wedding venue. They gave us very fair pricing based on quoted received before the updated plans and were happy to accommodate any requests.
The food was lovely and they went out of their way to cater to specific dietary requirements and even put together our self assembled wedding cake (it looked so good)!
I felt very taken care of as a bride and was regularly asked if I needed a drink or wanted food put aside. It was a rainy morning but luckily it stopped for my entrance through the doors and I was helped with my dress to enable the bridesmaids to make their entrances.
The new accommodation is also lovely and there is lots of space for the Bridal party to get ready ❤️
