When planning your wedding, finding a venue that reflects your unique love story is essential. Whether it’s a second marriage, a celebration of spiritual connection, or simply the desire for a smaller, more intimate ceremony, The Lost Village of Dode offers a magical and meaningful setting for your special day.

For Mature Couples Seeking Timeless Romance

At The Lost Village of Dode, we understand that love doesn’t have an age limit. For older couples, the thought of a large, traditional wedding may not feel right. Instead, our venue provides a quiet, romantic charm that’s perfect for an intimate gathering with close family and friends.

Set in the heart of the Kent countryside, our ancient Norman church offers a sense of history, warmth, and connection that makes every ceremony feel timeless. Imagine saying your vows in a space where centuries of love stories have been celebrated, surrounded by candlelight and the peaceful embrace of nature.

For Couples Embracing a Second Marriage

Your love deserves to be celebrated, no matter how your journey has unfolded. A second marriage is an opportunity to focus on what truly matters—your commitment to each other. At Dode, we specialize in creating ceremonies that feel personal and authentic.

With options to customize every element, you can design a wedding day that reflects your story and priorities, whether it’s a simple, heartfelt exchange of vows or a unique handfasting ceremony to symbolize your union.

For Those Who Seek Spiritual Connection

For couples who find meaning in spirituality, Dode offers more than just a venue—it’s a sacred space. Nestled in a tranquil valley, our ancient church and surrounding landscape exude peace and harmony. We welcome ceremonies that honor spiritual beliefs, from traditional blessings to handfastings and other symbolic rituals.

The beauty of nature is central to weddings at Dode. From the ancient Yew tree on the grounds to the wildflowers that bloom in spring and summer, every element enhances the sense of connection to something greater.

For Nature Lovers

If your idea of the perfect wedding day includes the sound of birdsong and the soft rustle of leaves, Dode is the perfect backdrop. Surrounded by rolling hills and untouched countryside, our venue is a haven for nature lovers.

Whether you choose an outdoor ceremony in the warmer months or enjoy the dramatic beauty of the countryside in winter, your wedding at Dode will be a celebration of the natural world and the love you share.
