Best place
We held our ceremony and reception at Doko Manor and the staff was so attentive. We had a blast. Beautiful place and clean! Easy to work with. Only thing I didn’t like we couldn’t do the walking on the clouds without losing our deposit but outside of that highly recommended -

Wedding Venue
First off, this is a must location! Not only is this place beautiful but the people here guide, help, and take care of every little thing. I, literally, relied on Steve and Johna and their crew. Johna is a charge away from being a wedding planner. Every vendor we hired was from her list and they were all professional. I trusted their judgment and they made my wedding smooth and enjoyable. -

Best experience ever!!
My husband and I rented Doko Manor to host a baby shower for our first grandchild, and our experience was amazing from inception to completion. Johna, Trish, and the entire staff are consummate professionals! The facility is well maintained, the view is picturesque, and our event was simply perfect. I highly recommend Doko Manor for any special event, as I’ll definitely use this venue again!-

Amazing Experience
Johna Sutton makes you feel like family from start to finish!! She gave me recommended vendors and even helped serve at my rehearsal dinner. I could not have asked for a better venue and a better person to have helped facilitate my dream wedding. I highly recommend Doko Manor to any and everyone. It was very affordable and BYOB. We saved so much money choosing our own vendors. I can’t say enough...BOOK HERE! -

Absolutely Amazing
The amount of support and professionalism that we got from Doko was just the best. Throughout the whole process they were understanding and helpful. The venue is inexpensive and the staff there are truly wonderful. I must recognize the hard work of Johna Sutton giving us exactly what we needed on our big day, I can’t thank her and the whole venue staff enough for what they have done. I would highly recommend Doko Manor to anyone wanting to have a wedding or any special event. -

I highly recommend this venue
We recently used Doko Manor to host my parents 43rd anniversary party. This is the 3rd time using the venue since 2014 because we always have a an excellent experience with this venue. Johna, the manager, is an absolute jewel, and she did everything that she could to make sure that our event was a success.
One of the things that I appreciate most about this venue is its flexibility in allowing you to choose your own catering vendors. This helps you manage your cost and get food that you and your guests actually like. The staff the night of the event was very helpful, responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would recommend Doko Manor to others without hesitation because it is truly a beautiful venue that is run by wonderful people. -

Beautiful Venue... wonderful staff
Our wedding was held November 3, 2018.
We were very pleased with Doko Monor and the service provided.
We considered other venues but Doko Manor was by far the best.
The venue staff helped us every step of the way.
The assistant manager Johna is a jewel. -

Perfect Wedding
The staff at Doko Manor is wonderful! They are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and professional. On the walk-through, everything was explained in great detail. All of their expectations were laid out up front. We did not have one issue during our entire wedding process. The venue itself is gorgeous, especially the outside pergola by the water. Everything is kept so clean! The bathrooms are spotless. There is ample parking. It’s the perfect venue. We dealt mostly with Johna and she is exceptional! She is very responsive to questions or concerns. We would definitely use them again! -

Not only is the venue beautiful but the staff there is excellent. I had several last minute changes and through it all they were ready and willing to accommodate. Johna particularly was wonderful, she was there the day of our wedding and she did an awesome job making sure everything ran smoothly. If I had to select a venue again, hands down it would be Doko Manor. -

This venue is by far THE BEST! It is a gorgeous place & has beautiful big rooms and halls. The management team Lisa & Johna are the two most professional & helpful people and will cater to any wish that you have to make your event special! My wedding here was a hit with my husband and I , and also a hit with each and every guest we had. The scenery is beautiful, the pond is beautiful, the whole place is just Beautiful! I will choose Doko Manor for every event in the future! -

This venue is beautiful and the people who work there are amazing. Steve and Johna are excellent and super friendly. After looking around Columbia and not being satisfied with any wedding venues out here, we found Doko Manor on Wedding Wire. We immediately knew this was our venue. The thorough tour we received from Johna and the overwhelming support from Steve on recommendations and options for our venue made us so comfortable. They kept up with us and responded very quickly if we had any questions. On the day of the event, Johna went above and beyond with helping us prepare and make sure the day ran smoothly. If you're looking for an elegant venue where you can choose all of your own vendors to truly make it your day, this is the place for you : ) -

After searching for sooooo long, my fiancé and I have decided to select The Manor at Doko Meadows for our wedding reception and ceremony and couldn't be more thrilled about the wedding experience that awaits us here!! I met with Steve a few weeks ago as a final destination after weeks of venue shopping with no luck in finding "the one" when it came to the perfect venue for our wedding reception and ceremony. Steve was amazing-he was not only very clear about the terms and conditions of using this venue-but he also showed me that this venue would allow my fiancé and I to have more flexibility with the use of our own personal caterers, DJ etc. great value :) -

I got married at Doko Manor in Blythewood. Very beautiful place to have a wedding and reception. Plenty of parking, attendants on site, all the table and chairs set up for us. We were able to use our own decorator, caterer, bartender and DJ. I would highly recommend this for a wedding or any special event. -

Doko is wonderful. The staff is great. The only thing I'd say needed changing is a full kitchen. They have a great full catering kitchen but only with warming ovens, nowhere to cook like a stove or oven. -

First off, the facility is beautiful. We had our wedding reception there and it was perfect. Steve, Johna, and the whole team were very helpful in making sure our wedding day went smoothly and how we wanted. They are pretty strict on the hours and we had a little trouble getting in touch with them a couple times, but overall I would highly recommend Doko Manor. -

Barnes and Harley Wedding
I had my wedding and ceremony at Doko Manor on November 9, 2019. When I say the customer service was on point from the time I booked my date up until the day of. My wedding planner couldn’t stop bragging about them. They went above and beyond. We treated them like family and we all had a good time. I highly recommend this venue! -

Beautiful Venue
Doko Manor is located in a beautiful park and it was not far for either of our families to drive. The facilities are beautiful, very clean, and very well-kept. Our wedding was beautiful and it needed minimal decorations because it’s a fairly new building.
The only thing I don’t like is that they don’t carve out rehearsal time. Being that this building isn’t cheap, you shouldn’t have to scramble for a time and date. They can be hard to get in contact with as well and take a while to get in contact with.
Overall I recommend this place and Jonna is amazing, knowledgeable and very patient.-
