An unforgettable experience with Dover Hall

Having our wedding at Dover Hall was essentially a perfect experience. They are truly experts in the wedding service industry. There was no detail that went unchecked! They quality of the food was exceptional. Our guests spoke so highly of the food and the service. The wine from 7 Lady Vineyards is also exceptional. Not only were the staff that joined us on wedding day very professional, they were all just kind. I was able to chat with some of them during the rehearsal and they made me feel like they were genuinely excited to be a part of the day. Because their team ironed out every single detail with me leading all of the way up to the wedding, the day of was perfect. It was a zero stress day! I was able to focus on the things that really mattered because we knew that everything would all be taken care of. Beyond that, it is a beautiful venue. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that truly has everything that you need on hand, Dover Hall is an exceptional choice.

A dream wedding venue

There aren't enough words to describe how perfect Dover Hall was as both a venue and a caterer. It is truly a fairytale property that happens to be in an extremely convenient location. Their service as well as their food is absolutely top notch. While every member of the staff we met was incredibly nice and helpful, we wanted to give special shout outs to Emily, Sylvia, Charlotte, Jeff, and of course Chef Leah!
