We can both honestly say it was the best day ever and most of that was down to Dodmoor House and the staff. The service was second to none from the day we booked the venue. All our guests even commented on how amazing it all was. Well worth the 6 hour round journey from where we actually lived! That’s how much we loved it! would 1000% recommend. AMAZING.
From the moment we contacted Dodmoor House to arrange our first visit, we were more than impressed with how easy and accommodating they were. The venue is beautiful, and we fell in love with it as soon as we pulled up to look around. As soon as we met the staff, we knew that nowhere else could beat it! We always knew that the service would be of a high standard, but we were absolutely blown away by the service received on our wedding day (as were our guests!). Dodmoor exceeded all expectations. They are true professionals, and we are forever grateful to them for helping us create the best day of our lives. Every guest we have spoken to has praised everything about the day – many have said it is by far the best wedding they have ever been to! We could write and write about how perfect everything was, but I’m going to stop now before the tears start again!

We felt very lucky to hold our Wedding Day at Dodmoor House. The venue is stunning, and the team make you feel like your special day is the only one that matters. Our day was so beautiful and everything ran so smoothly. Our guests were full of compliments for the staff and we can’t thank Sophie and team enough for all that they did. From my first email to book a viewing, all the way through planning and after there is always a friendly, helpful response, answering many questions we had promptly. Nothing was ever too big or small, you are looked after so well and the stresses and worries are taken away from the couple. It was a comfort to know that the team always wanted the best for you and planning with them couldn’t have been easier, they really do think of everything! If you’re wondering about whether to have your special day at Dodmoor House – just book it, you won’t regret a thing! Only that you’ll want to relive it again and again because Dodmoor House really do give you your dream day.
The atmosphere of the venue was second to none. It was just gorgeous, cosy and so welcoming. We first came in the evening when all the fairy lights were on, and it just felt so perfect. We had only viewed one venue prior to Dodmoor and didn’t get “the feels”, but it was the exact opposite at Dodmoor, and we didn’t even book to see anywhere else after that. On the wedding day everything went perfectly, smoothly and was absolutely stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Everything we had talked about, plans etc. were set up and carried out perfectly with no issues, and it was exactly how we pictured it all coming together. Wedding planning is quite stressful, but having Dodmoor by our side just reduced that element of stress and worry to a minimum. We always had an answer or response so quickly, and it just made the whole process so easy. Aside from the stunning venue, the staff are all just so lovely, friendly and helpful. Even our guests said how amazing the staff were throughout the day. It was all just so smooth going and stress-free, allowing us to enjoy the day knowing everything was in safe hands!

What can we say about this incredible venue… it was the first and best decision we made when planning our wedding. Vicky and her team went above and beyond in the run up to our day and kept things running smoothly throughout. They were accommodating, friendly, professional and passionate and the venue is simply stunning.
We cannot thank you enough for giving us the most magical wedding day. From start to finish you have been the most supportive team and Sophie, you were just fantastic! We will treasure the memory of our day forever and that is mainly thanks to you all for making sure it was so perfect – you went above and beyond.
The venue is just stunning, everything we dreamed of, there isn’t one thing I’d change. As soon as you drive in, you get the sense of complete love! It just has that “happy ever after” vibe. We cannot thank our wedding coordinator enough, everyone who attended our wedding has mentioned them by name to us, expressing their love for them! The team made our wedding easy, stressless and fun! It was more than a dream come true! We love Dodmoor House and the lovely people who work there!

We loved the feel of Dodmoor, but particularly for me, I wanted a professional, slick day that I fully trusted the venue in delivering. We absolutely cannot sing Dodmoor’s praises enough, and it does not feel like a wedding machine at all. We were made to feel so incredibly special from the very second we visited Dodmoor, and it truly feels like such a special team who run it. From Dodmoor giving us as much time as we needed for our parents to come and visit initially, to the personalised emails that showed they knew us and cared about us, really showed what a tailored approach to each and every couple they give. Our wedding coordinator could not have made our day any better, and she holds a very, very special place in our hearts for ensuring our day ran so beautifully. Every single member of the Dodmoor team is an asset, from the wedding coordinators to the bar staff – always with a smile on their faces, always so professional and ALWAYS willing to go the extra mile. We cannot thank Dodmoor enough for such a beautiful day, and it was absolutely down to the slick attention to detail that meant it could be the success that it was.

Dodmoor House is absolutely exceptional! From start to finish I couldn’t have asked for better service and a better group of people to help us with our wedding. What I love most about you is that you always made us feel like it was the only wedding ever, we always felt special and you were always genuinely excited and happy with us. I can’t thank you enough for everything you’ve done for us. I wish we could re-live it all over again.
Yes, certainly! Dodmoor House is exclusively yours for your special day (with all of our help in planning things!).
Yes! We have a wide range of fabulous recommended suppliers who we think will be able to help you with your wedding day. However, we do welcome outside suppliers, including caterers.
Yes, we have a no-corkage-fee policy that starts after your wedding ceremony (or your arrival from church) and finishes at the end of the meal or speeches, whichever comes last. We will chill everything for you, provide the glassware and ice, and provide the staff to serve it.
We will discuss what you'd like to serve and help you determine quantities closer to the wedding. The paid bar will otherwise be open before a ceremony and after the meal/speeches (it's also available via waitress service in the daytime if your guests want to buy additional drinks).
We like to think that it's the quality of the customer service you receive from our wonderful staff. The venue itself is lovely, with some beautiful Grade II listed barns on stunning grounds, and you also get lots of flexibility here. Still, above all, for your wedding, you want us to care passionately about making your day as special as possible!
We host viewings on Saturday mornings and midweek early evenings, so please contact us to discuss your special day plans!
We have an on-site honeymoon suite for the wedding couple to stay in on the night of the wedding, which is included in the venue hire fee (as well as lots of hotels nearby for guests).
