November 2024We had the absolute best day of our lives getting married at Dodford Manor on 09/11/2024. Having explored numerous venues during our search, Dodford Manor stood out in every way. Initially, their no corkage policy caught our attention, but over time, it became clear that Dodford is exceptional far beyond just that. From their transparent pricing (no hidden charges for fairy lights!), to accepting credit card payments, to their lightning-fast email responses, everything about their service is designed to make your planning as smooth as possible. Their meticulous pre-planning and support on the big day itself are unmatched. Truly, I feel so lucky to have chosen them! A special mention to Kayleigh, our phenomenal coordinator. She was an absolute dream, going above and beyond at every turn—even chasing after me when I almost left all our presents behind in a post-wedding haze! She anticipated my needs even when I was too overwhelmed to articulate them, making me feel so supported throughout. Honestly, any of the coordinators would be amazing. Over the two years of planning, every email we sent was met with warmth and helpfulness from the entire team. Huge thanks to Jess and Simon for helping us unpack our mountain of decorations and drinks, ensuring everything fit perfectly despite the overflow. And to Hannah, who conducted our wedding meeting with such care and enthusiasm. The whole team clearly loves what they do, and that passion shines through in every detail. I won’t even get started on Jenkinsons (the in-house caterers), as they deserve a review of their own. Just know you’re in the best hands, and you’ll feel like royalty on your big day! If you’re considering booking Dodford Manor, do it—you will never regret it. If I could give 1,000 stars, I would! We’d choose them again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Dodford Manor, for giving us the most magical day imaginable. — Saskia & Patrick

January 2025To 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 x

January 2025We had the best day of our lives here! Such a gorgeous venue, and super responsive over email and the phone. This took a lot of the stress out of planning, knowing we could contact them whenever we needed! The venue is just stunning and I couldn't have asked for a better day 🥹
