Always one of my favourite places to act as DJ/MC for a wedding. Provides a lovely backdrop for your big day - a really great wedding venue! Even better, it's very well situated and only 20 minutes drive for me! Thanks for having me

Would just like to say a big thank you to Dodmoor House (Vicky in particular) for putting together our amazing wedding day. It was not without its complications having been rearranged three times, however Dodmoor were always on hand to support us and guide us through this tough process. The venue is stunning, the staff are so attentive and welcoming, and this is a testament to the owners. I can see now why this venue wins many awards! Hope to return as a wedding guest one day! Love

We recently had our wedding at Dodmoor House and we still over the moon about our choice in venue. From the first moment we saw Dodmoor, we knew that we had to have our wedding there. Through the whole planning process, Dodmoor were fantastic! The correspondence and updates were constant and gave well informed and well detailed content regarding any changes that had to be made due to Covid. Luckily, our wedding was not affected by this, however we know that if it was, we would have been in good hands. The customer service was and is outstanding! We would like to give a special shout out to Jeni
