The Lost Village of Dode

The feel

Far from being a corporate business Dode is owned and run by Douglas & Mary who love to share their “jewel of our lonely countryside” with a few selected couples. It is small in scale and intimate holding only 42 people.

Lost in the North Downs and approached by a winding lane overhung by trees with breathtaking views of this secluded countryside, ceremonies are held in a building built of flint and oak with the interior lit only by candles and braziers, the floor strewn with straw and sweet smelling herbs.

Voted one of the top 50 Civil Ceremony venues in Kent in The Independant – Civil Ceremonies & Partnerships and receptions if required are held from April until October and the first 3 weeks of December.
