Spent a wonderful afternoon and evening as a guest at a wedding here. The couple couldn't have chosen a better place. Plenty of space both inside and out and great service from the staff. An ideal wedding venue.

Our daughter recently got married at Dodmoor House. We cannot praise them highly enough. The organisation skills of Carolyn are second to none and there was nothing too minor to ask.

Fantastic Every Step of The WayFantastic Every Step of The Way
We 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!!

We Loved DodmoorWe Loved Dodmoor
We 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.

Why 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!

Best day ever!Best day ever!
We had the most perfect Wedding Day at Dodmoor House. The venue is stunning and the staff are on hand morning, noon & night to ensure everything runs to plan. From the moment we booked, Louise & the team were always available for guidance and to answer even the most random of queries. They had a great selection for all sorts of suppliers but also happy for us to find & accommodate our own. Dodmoor House gives you the freedom of having your ceremony & reception all in one place, meaning no need to transport guests around. If you’re looking for a beautiful, exclusive, warm & welcoming venue to celebrate the best day of your lives, I can highly recommend Dodmoor House.We had the most perfect Wedding Day at Dodmoor House.

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.

Describe your venue in 5 adjectives.

Romantic, Exclusive, Friendly, Warm and Happy!

Where’s the best photo spot at your venue?

Being next door to the Grand Union Canal is a treat, we are right next to a lovely bridge which provides such beautiful photos.

Have you had any celebrity guest or wedding at your venue?

Being so close to Northampton, we've had a Saints Rugby player get married here and also a few guests from the Made in Chelsea cast!

What’s your favourite canapé?

We are partial to a little Yorkshire Pudding with beef and gravy!

What’s your favourite midnight treat?

Cake and biscuits - and not just at midnight! We are known for having a constant biscuit supply in the office and for having cake at our weekly meetings (and any other occasion that calls for it)!
