Best venue ever!

I can not recommend this venue enough! Dodford Manor is absolutely stunning. We need as soon as we went to view that it was the venue for us. The grounds are beautiful and there is so much space. The staff make this venue even better. They are so helpful and support with everything from recommendations to the set up of the day they really do go above and beyond. The catering is amazing. Our guests couldn’t believe how good the food was. Everything about this venue is incredible.

A perfect experience!

We knew Dodford would be the perfect place for us to get married the moment we saw the venue. The service was at the highest levels of excellence even during this pandemic. They were in constant contact, keeping us up to date with the ever changing guidance, and were very accommodating to any requirements we had, even two days before the wedding.
The day ran like clockwork, making us and our guests feel comfortable and very welcome. Many guests commenting is was the best wedding they've ever been to.
We would highly recommend Dodford Manor to any couple looking to get married in barn. Perfect setting, amazing staff and perfect experience from start to end.

The best venue

We had the best experience as they are all such an attentive team. From our first booking to view the venue until picking up our items after the big day we were so well looked after, no question too small and emails replied to promptly (even during evening and weekends!) Our wedding coordinator on the day was amazing, she ensured the day ran smoothly (they clearly have a good system!) and I fully recommend Dodford Manor to any future couples!

A perfect day

We can’t thank Dodford enough for the most perfect wedding day we could have imagined.
The planning process, tastings and meetings in the lead up were well organised and super helpful.
All the staff, both at Dodford and Jenkinsons were friendly and nothing ever seemed too much trouble.
Our guests were really impressed with the stunning venue and quality of the food and drink.
If you want a beautiful barn wedding, we would totally recommend Dodford Manor- you won’t be disappointed!
