What a wonderful review from Jessica Rose who married at Dode earlier this year, I love being paid and paying my bills but this is the best reward for sure, knowing my clients are happy and have a great day is a huge reward.

The winds of change have swept into The Lost Village of Dode (Official) bidding a farewell to Becky Bosman and a huge welcome to Jacobine Van Laar who will be taking over Becky's role, I just know the team will be just as strong as always and offer a fantastic opportunity for those looking for a wedding with a different slant.

🌿 A Week of Farewell & Welcome 🌿

This week we bid a fond farewell to Becky, who has been the heart and guiding hand of so many ceremonies here at Dode. Her care and dedication have left a lasting mark, and she will be dearly missed.

We are delighted to welcome Jacobine, who will be stepping into the role of Guardian and Ceremony Coordinator. Jacobine is no stranger to Dode – she has been closely involved behind the scenes for some time and has played a key role in assisting with our sister church, St Benedict’s at Paddlesworth. She brings with her a deep understanding of our story and a passion for the ceremonies and traditions that make this place so special.

Join us in wishing Becky well as she embarks on her next adventure, and in giving Jacobine the warmest of welcomes as she steps into this new chapter. 💚
