November 2024Getting married at Dovecote was the best decision I've made ! From start to finish we had a magical day and the team thought of everything, our guests had a fabulous time and my wedding day was everything I pictured ! Thank you to you all for making our dreams come true !

November 2024What a perfect wedding venue! After over a year of looking at wedding venues and none quite being right, we stumbled upon Dovecote Events. After visiting on an open day we fell in love with the venue and within a couple of days had put down our deposit. The staff we met on the open day were really friendly and helpful and made us feel confident this was the right place for us. The wedding day itself was the best day ever! The venue was gorgeous and the great weather meant our guests made use of the lovely outdoor space. We had lots of compliments from our guests on the food and so manty guests commented on how nice the venue was. The day flowed really well which meant we could enjoy ourselves as the team were on top of everything. What we really appreciated about Dovecote was the flexibility they allowed us to make the day feel our own and special to us. The no corkage drinks package was great and the chefs made great suggestions in fitting the menu to our tastes. The cocktails were also brilliant and went down really well. We also had our beloved Labrador Olive there for part of the day and the team couldn't have been more accommodating. And last but not least, a massive shoutout to our wedding coordinator Cece who was amazing in making the whole process run smoothly. From the initial conversations through to the day itself, she was incredibly helpful and kind with great ideas to make the day special for us. We were in safe hands on the day which meant we could just soak it all in, she even managed to deal with my stressed out mum’s specific requirements! Thanks so much for making our day so memorable.

September 2024Gorgeous location and excellent staff! They knew how to make the bride and groom feel special on their day and were incredibly helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the party as a bridesmaid and I'm sure many more couples would find this the perfect location for their wedding day.

October 2024We cannot fault a single aspect of our day from the moment we arrived at Dovecote, to the moment we left - in fact, from the moment we walked in to our first Open Day Event 2 years ago!! The team were faultless from start to finish. Not only did we have the most stunning venue, but we were blessed with the best team as well! Dovecote was the only venue we looked at, because right from the first moment we set eyes on it, we knew it was the venue we wanted - from then on we have been on the most magical wedding journey - from our food tasting to our final meeting, the attention to detail was phenomenal. Cece is incredible. We are so very glad that we were lucky enough to have her as our wedding coordinator and to have her there from the beginning of our journey all the way up to the evening of our wedding was very special! On the wedding day Cece was round every corner, ensuring that everything ran smoothly - constantly checking in and making sure we were alright, well fed and always with a drink in our hand! The whole team on the setting up day and the wedding day itself were all amazing. Absolutely everyone was smiling, on hand and nothing was too much - whether I was asking for the heating to be turned down, turned on, for tables to be moved... nothing was too much! It is clear that between them they have created a wonderful working family and it really shows! We are gutted that our wedding journey has come to an end, although VERY excited to start married life - it just means no more visits to Dovecote 🙁 Although we hope to attend someone else's wedding in the future! We cannot recommend Dovecote enough and will continue to sing their praises to anyone and everyone!
