Faye & Lewis: A Beautiful Summer Wedding at Dodmoor

How you met…

We met through a mutual friend — simple as that!

The proposal…

Faye proposed on their first anniversary, relaxing at home on the sofa, with a watch for Lewis.

Why we chose Dodmoor for our special day…

The venue was absolutely beautiful, and Faye fell in love with it the very first time we visited.

The vision and theme for the day…

Simple but elegant and wanted to use the dusty blue colour as we decided on a summer wedding and envisioned dusty blue as a fresh, light colour.

Food…

Faye had a fitted/mermaid lace wedding dress and Lewis wore a tuxedo and looked very handsome!

The Outfits...

We had Lemon Zest as formal caterer for the day but it was basically a beef roast dinner and chicken wrapped in bacon and we had pizza from The Dough Debt and Caribbean food from Big Mike’s Caribbean in the evening.

Our favourite part of the day…

Sitting on our sweetheart table, laughing and looking at all our lovely guests enjoying themselves.

How Dodmoor as a venue stood out to us…

The essence of multiple open, bright areas that made an intimate but relaxed vibe for our day and evening.

The plan/idea you felt really worked on the day?

The plan our Wedding Coordinator, Kara, put together was followed from start to finish, just as expected. She went above and beyond — we truly couldn’t have asked for more.

The entertainment…

We used Dodmoor’s playlist during the day which was chilled and relaxed and appeared to suit everyone’s taste in music and we had a DJ in the evening.

Personal touches that reflected us as a couple…

On the venue and our outfits, we are very grateful to have had such a beautiful space with such amazing staff who did nothing but cater to our and our guests every needs and I truly felt like a princess with my gorgeous husband in a tux.

Where we felt our budget was well spent…

We catered for every need of the bridal and groom party, we asked them to be a part of a day and they did not need to lift a finger or spend a penny, they supported us and us only and looked amazing.
