- SSarah and Matt30/11/2018Fantastic Every Step of The WayFantastic Every Step of The WayWe got married at Dodmoor back in June and i can honestly say we had the most perfect wedding day 💕 Dodmoor House is such a beautiful venue and the staff were fantastic every step of the way, from our very first visit right to the very end of our wedding celebrations 🎉 They really make planning a wedding so much easier! I got ready at Dodmoor with my bridesmaid and Mum, so it was really lovely seeing and hearing guests arriving (although they can't see or hear you) and it takes out the stress of traveling from a wedding venue to a reception. The venue is really lovely and intimate too which gives a wonderful feel to the day. So many of our guests commented on how you could just feel the love from everyone ❤ I really recommend looking at the drinks package and the hog roast and sweet shop although i think they have even more choice for you now too! Also there recommended suppliers list as we found this really helpful when we were first planning our wedding. Don't hesitate to book Dodmoor you'll have an amazing day and the staff are amazing!!

- SSarah and James27/11/2018We Loved DodmoorWe Loved DodmoorWe had the most amazing wedding last weekend at Dodmoor House, it was everything we had hoped it would be and Kathryn and the team worked so hard to make this happen. They were so on the ball with everything and quickly put into place ‘plan b’ when the unforecast rain hit us and yet everything was still so seamless....😍. We loved Dodmoor from the first moment we saw it and it didn’t disappoint in anyway. We will have such fantastic memories of our special day forever and can’t thank you enough for that. We would highly recommend anyone to get married here.

- EElise and Dan06/11/2018Why do i start?! Why do i start?!We arranged a viewing and meet Carolyn on site, she is a delight! so warm welcoming and dedicated. As the wedding got closer we were invited to an in-depth planning meeting, we were greeting by three warm smiles, Kathryn, Jeni and Shona were our wedding planning team. After we went through all the details and finalised numbers I knew we had made the right choice. So many friends asked are you stressed its nearly your big day? I wasn't stressed at all! The amazing staff of Dodmoor had everything in hand! Finally our special day arrived and wow! It was amazing! everything ran smoothly furniture was moved without any disrubtion to guests, everything ran on time, all guests were happy! No one had an empty glass or was left waiting at any point. Everyone who attended the wedding commented on the amazing service provided and attention to detail. Dodmoor really is a wonderful venue! we could not of asked for more! My husband and I had the pleasure of staying on site in the beautiful bridal suite, which myself and 8 women earlier got ready in for the wedding. It was prepared for us to stay in, put back together with food platters left out for us and a wonderful card from the team, we woke to a beautiful breakfast of fresh pastries, bacon rolls, coffee and juice! The perfect start to married life! So all in all we'd highly recommend Dodmoor and all the fantastic staff!

The venue is stunning and the staff are on hand morning, noon & night to ensure everything runs to plan.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs
Describe the best wedding that happened at your venue?
It's absolutely impossible to say! We've had so many weddings and each one has their own best parts! We remember having an actual ball when a mariachi band came in and played to everyone during dinner when we threw sombreros to guests from the mezzanine! A petting zoo with the cutest animals ever came and we cuddled rabbits, lambs and baby goats.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
If someone is willing to help you, take their help! It's so amazing to have people who want to contribute towards your day whether that's helping to make favours, driving your Nan to the venue or doing a reading in the ceremony. Anything that helps take a little stress away from planning really has a huge effect!
What’s your favourite personal touch you’ve seen at a wedding?
One of our favourite parts of seeing lots of weddings is seeing the personal touches our couples do to put their stamp on Dodmoor House! We love a bit of photo bunting up at the bar, it's always lovely to see pictures of our couples throughout the years they have been together.
