- DDanny and Sophie17/05/2026What an amazing venue and team!! What an amazing venue and team!!We recently had our wedding at the The Dodford Inn and honestly could not have asked for a more perfect day. From start to finish, the team were absolutely amazing and helped in every way possible, taking all the stress off our shoulders so we could truly enjoy every moment. Throughout the entire day and evening they constantly checked in on us, offered us drinks, and made sure we were both okay. Nothing was ever too much trouble and you can really tell this is a family-run venue that puts their heart and soul into making your day special. The venue itself is beautiful — our dream come true. We were so lucky with the weather and being able to enjoy the countryside views and the terrace made the day even more magical. The food was also incredible and all of our guests commented on how amazing it was. We honestly couldn’t recommend The Dodford Inn enough to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming venue with a team who genuinely care about making your wedding perfect.

- EErica & Luke17/05/2026The most incredible venue The most incredible venueWe got married in April 2026 at The Dodford Inn and honestly could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day. The space itself is beautiful — large enough for all of our guests whilst still feeling warm, personal and full of lovely homely touches. From the moment we arrived, everything felt relaxed and seamless thanks to the attentiveness of all the staff, who truly went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. A special mention has to go to Amber, who liaised with me throughout the planning and on the day itself — at this point she genuinely felt like a fourth bridesmaid! Nothing was ever too much trouble and she made sure every detail was perfect. The suppliers were also incredible. Clare, who handled the décor, and Lee Dyson, our DJ, really listened to everything we wanted and completely exceeded our expectations. Every detail reflected us perfectly. The food was absolutely incredible and served so efficiently, and every member of staff was accommodating to any request we had. Our guests have since reached out to thank us for such a special day, but so many of them specifically mentioned how fantastic the venue was — the layout, the space, the exclusiveness and overall atmosphere really stood out to everyone. The rooms were excellent and the entire experience from start to finish was flawless. We honestly could not recommend The Dodford Inn highly enough for a wedding venue.We got married in April 2026 at The Dodford Inn and honestly could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our special day.

- KKirstie and Paul16/05/2026Fantastic Wedding Venue Fantastic Wedding VenueBecky, Ben and the team at Dodford are fantastic, the venue is beautiful. We had the Twilight package for our wedding and it was perfect. The team were always on hand for any questions I had in the run up to the wedding and on the day they helped it run so smoothly and seamlessly. Our guests have continued to say how lovely the team were on the day. The venue itself is stunning and was exactly what we wanted for our special day. The venue is cosy and feels homely. The rooms upstairs are outstanding and perfect for getting ready in, the honeymoon suite is stunning. Everyone loved the pizzas that were served. We would 100% recommend The Dodford Inn as a wedding venue, and are looking forward to coming back for a Sunday roast!Becky, Ben and the team at Dodford are fantastic, the venue is beautiful.

- JJonathan and Alison21/04/2026Simply the best!Simply the best!We have known of the Dodford Inn and the team there for a number of years now. We celebrated a big birthday there a few years ago and were so impressed that when we started looking for a wedding venue, we looked again at the Dodford as an option. It didn’t take long for is to decide it was the right venue for us. Ben and Becky (and the whole team) were simply fantastic from the very start. In the early stages they helped us understand whether the venue was right for us, giving us swift answers to many questions without ever being pushy. With a preference to talk things through in person, they were more than happy to meet us face to face to help with the planning and provided clear and pragmatic tools to support us. Nothing is too much trouble for the team and they really did take any stress or last minute flapping away by encouraging us to think about key decisions early. We wanted a wedding day where a lot of the traditions were stripped back so that we could enjoy the day informally as much as possible. The team at the Dodford Inn were more than happy to help us shape this but also offered help and guidance where they could using their vast experience of what generally works and what does not. The day we had could not have been any more perfect. Everything was taken care of and we, and our guests, were treated like royalty. Any guests with alergies or dietry requirements were cared for attentively and every last detail was seamlessly dealt with. Ben, Becky and team have the ability to manage events with an exceptional level of calmness and control. Events management is notoriously fraught with last minutes issues but the team’s meticulous planning appears to avoid any risk of this. If there were any issues, then we would never have known as the team operate with a serene and unrattled professionalism. The venue itself is of course stunning and so many of our guests commented on how beautiful it was. Being hot air balloonists, we were keen to inflate a balloon at dusk. Despite being a very unusual request, Ben did not hesitate to allow us to do this which made our wedding day that bit more unique and bespoke to us. We cannot thank the whole team enough for helping us have the best day ever. Everyone on the team seems to have the same level of care and attention to detail that Becky and Ben showcase.

- OOlivia & Mike13/09/2025Beautiful, rustic, relaxed setting! Beautiful, rustic, relaxed setting!We really loved getting married at The Dodford Inn. Such a beautiful venue and setting, with a rustic, cosy and intimate feel, but with plenty of space for guests to relax and mingle. We had Dee Acoustic play (who were at the Dodford Inn wedding fair) and there was a space for the band on the patio for them to play whilst guests relaxed. Ben, Becky and the team were friendly, accommodating and made us feel well looked after on our wedding day. The running of the day flowed seamlessly from day to evening, thanks to the organised staff members and also the way the venue uses its different spaces for particular parts of the day. This worked really well to give a bit of variety throughout the day. We liked the options of wedding day packages with meals, drinks and decorations included, which meant this was all set up for us on the day and took that worry away from us. Clare who organises the decorations provided beautiful floral displays that tied into our colour scheme. It was nice to be able to choose decorations to suit our style. The food was delicious! And with myself, my husband and a few of our guests having a few differing dietary requirements, the kitchen couldn't have been more flexible with adapting our chosen set meals to suit our needs. We had many compliments on the food from guests too. We really recommend this venue, it was so much more than we imagined with its lovely relaxed and uplifting atmosphere.
