The Lost Village of Dode Is undoubtedly one of the most exclusive and sought after Wedding venues in Kent. Its unique marriage room, built over 900 years ago is small in scale and suitable for parties of up to a maximum of only 45 people – people that are truly special to you as a couple. Only one wedding per day is held on Thursdays, Fridays or Saturdays from the 1st April to the 31st October each year. Every wedding ceremony is special and unique to your individual requirements. Christmas weddings on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays may also be held from the 1st until the 23rd of December What the Papers Say: Dode is considered by some to be one of the countries most spiritual ancient sites . … the floor is strewn with straw and herb scented leaves and the building lit with candles …this place of myth and legend. This harmony with nature and with an ancient way of life … is what makes the Couples marry beneath medieval hanging tapestries and wall mounted braziers, it is a rare and magical place … Dode… is one of the areas most sortafter wedding venues. What TV & Radio say: … here I find the things that are external. The buildings simplicity is its strength … it looks almost exactly as it did 900 years ago. A great sense of peace.

Family involvement particularly of the Elders (Grandparents etc) is encouraged and a fully trained Celebrant is on hand to assist, although always in a relatively low key capacity. Renewal of Vows For many couples the renewing of Vows, perhaps taken many years ago is a meaningful and emotional moment. It is an important reminder to family and friends alike, of the importance of companionship and trust. The scared element of the words spoken in such an ancient place is a moving force indeed: again a fully trained Celebrant is available to assist if required. |
