My Daughters fantastic wedding
Our Daughter announced her wedding day 2 years before the date itself, in this 2 year period she applied many personal touches to make the day as special as possible, what was special about the Dovecote venue and especially the staff members there was their adaptability to work with my Daughter and encompass her requirements, a massive shout out to Cece the events Co Ordinator there and Matt, we knew as Parents our Daughter was in safe hands from day 1 of the 2 years. Thank you indeed for making their day a perfect day. -

Having worked in events it's safe to say the standards were set pretty high for our own wedding. And if we could do it all again...we wouldn't change a single moment.
Our special day at this idyllic venue was flawless and perfect from start to finish. The entire Dovecote team were eager to help bring our vision to life to create the most magical day for us, a day we have waited thirteen years for! This dream team went above and beyond for not only us as a couple, but for all of our guests - it's as if we were an extension of the Dovecote family.
To Mel, Lauren, Helen & Tom - you co-ordinated our day in such a way that the entire day felt stress-free and completely relaxed - we were in entirely safe hands with each and every one of you and felt so at ease! We are deeply grateful to you all for ensuring the day ran smoothly, for guiding us in the run-up to the wedding with your sound advice, for coordinating both our grand entrances, and for being genuinely caring and thoughtful to ensure it really was THE most perfect memorable day.
To Tim & Tim, the incredible Chefs - thankyou for creating such delicious dishes that made it incredibly hard to choose at the food tasting! On the day, the level of detail, the flavours and presentation became a hit with the guests, who are still even weeks later talking about the food!
To Sophia, Charis and all of the bar & waiting staff - you were all simply incredible! Thank you for being so attentive to our guests, going above and beyond to make sure they were all well stocked up on their drinks, canapes, food and comfort, all whilst offering a friendly smile.
And finally to the wonderful Matt - thank you for not only being there on the day continuously checking in with us, but helping us with every step providing extra detail to ensure ourselves and our family were comfortable. Anything we asked of you never seemed too big, you provided a warm caring approach and response, and you always went the extra mile. For that, we will always be grateful to you and we appreciate everything you have done for us as a couple!
This is a beautiful setting for a rustic wedding and we wholeheartedly recommend Dovecote Events.

My Husband and I got married here last month, and it was literally one of the best days of our lives! Everything was perfect! From booking the venue 2 years in advance, until the big day, the communication with Lauren was seamless! No question was too big or too small.
The food tasting and final details meeting were perfect timing in the lead up. Absolutely loved the food tasting evening - it felt super personal and what a treat to try different options! Afterwards we were DREAMING about the food and counting down until we could have it again - the food is INCREDIBLE.
The rest of the staff and team we met were lovely and super helpful, and whenever we went to the venue before the big day they always made sure they had time to have a conversation with us and get to know us as a couple which was just so lovely!
The actual venue itself is just so beautiful, and so reasonably priced for what you get! No hidden fees, no paying extra for crockery, or toilets, or lights (other venue do that! Crazy!) - but with Dovecote, what you see is what you get.
On the day itself, when it was time for the next thing, whether it was confetti throw, or cake cut, staff were on hand to let us know but made absolutely sure there was no rush and to do everything at our pace and enjoy the day how we wanted.
Honestly cannot thank the team enough, everything was perfect and we loved every second. Wish we could do it all over again!!Dovecote Events (Barn & Tipi venue)'s reply:

Incredible venue and incredible staff. Nothing was too much to ask for and I can’t thank Lauren and the team enough for making our day go completely perfectly.
Everyone was so attentive and they thought of absolutely everything. Staff got involved in the day and ensured that everyone was enjoying themselves.
All of our guests said how relaxed the whole day was. The food was also INCREDIBLE!! Would highly recommend the barbecue menu.
The venue and surrounding grounds are beautiful and it’s a perfect venue to keep your guests together and happy.
Thank you again guys, you really are the best!Dovecote Events (Barn & Tipi venue)'s reply:

The most magical experience
Could not recommend Dovecote enough!! We chose the venue for our wedding as it provided everything we had hoped for … rural setting, barn ceremony and most importantly a huge tipi. It was an ideal setting for our special day. The beautiful barn was perfect for the ceremony, and the drinks reception afterwards on the patio was relaxed with ample space for guests to sit, the confetti throw and photos. We chose a barbecue meal which was delicious and plentiful. The tipi was perfect with plenty of space for the band and dance floor. The fire pits added an extra touch to make our day special. The weather was also perfect so our day couldn’t have been better! All of the staff we so helpful and friendly from the initial planning stages to the day itself. -

Magical day!
We fell in love with Dovecote immediately. As soon as we got there, the barn, the grounds and the staff showing us around were incredible. We felt so at ease and relaxed we knew from that moment this was our venue. Throughout the whole process the staff were amazing, answered all of our questions, nothing was to much trouble. We had private food tastings, run throughs, and meetings to iron out all the details, Lauren, Cece and the team wee amazing. We chose the barn for our day and it was beautiful, you really didn't need much decor as its got such charm already, the lanterns and candles we chose set of the rustic theme beautifully. We ordered the chargrill sharer menu and the food was just incredible and guests are still talking about how amazing our meal was, you definitely don't go hungry either. If i could redo the whole day i wouldn't change a thing and that really is down to the venue and its staff who make the day run smoothly and go the extra mile whenever its needed, nothing is too much trouble, Lauren, Cece and the team are warm, friendly and attentive and helped make our day so special and memorable. Our wedding was magical, better than we could of dreamed and it's all thanks to Dovecote. I can wholly recommend to any couple who want to celebrate their love, choose Dovecote, thank you so much to Lauren, Cece and the whole team.Dovecote Events (Barn & Tipi venue)'s reply:

Tom W. Sent on 21/06/2024Our Perfect Wedding at Dovecote
From the first time we set foot in Dovecote we knew it was where we wanted to get married. From the warm welcome we had from Melanie, to the beautiful barn, stunning tipi and spectacular grounds, we were blown away. Every step of the way the whole team were so helpful, and left us feeling so excited and stress-free going into the day. The private food tasting with Lauren, Tom and Matthew was a real highlight and our dietary requirements were catered for so thoughtfully - huge thank you to chefs Tim (x2) and team. Setting up the tipi the day before the wedding could not have gone smoother thanks to so many of the team being available to support. And of course, the day itself was perfect and everything that we hoped it would be, special thanks to Lauren for accepting my last minute deliveries and ensuring everything ran so smoothly, with Cece, Tom and co. All of our guests commented on how beautiful our venue was, and we couldn’t be happier that we chose you. We cannot wait to find an excuse to come back and see you all soon! -

We had the most amazing wedding at Dovecote, we used the barn for the ceremony and then the tipi.
The whole process was so seamless, from viewing the venue, to booking, trying the food (which is fantastic), setting the venue up the day before and the main day!
The whole team was so helpful and having Melanie to coordinate on the day meant it was a hands off, stress free wedding.
The venue itself is so beautiful and having everything in one place meant everyone stayed together.
Don’t hesitate to book this venue!!! -
