    Starting with the owners, would be an easy one, they are some of the nicest people to work with. But instead, I’m going to start with the property overall. Every corner you turn every item you see has been handpicked by Jen and Steve to do nothing more than elevate your overall experience at the Dodson Orchard. The bridal quarters are gorgeous, but the grooms quarters just make you feel like you’re supposed to be at this venue. The reception hall, the barn, is the epitome of country chic. With a rustic feel and the beautiful, handcrafted touches, it is some thing that is really set apart from everything else you can imagine. The food is cooked by the owner Steve, who is one of the most excellent chefs I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working with. Sometimes you go to an event, and the food is dried out and over cooked, that never happens here, it is always a highlight of the venue. There’s not much more I can say about the orchard, the owners make you feel like family and add a personal touch to each and every event they put together. Go check this place out you won’t be disappointed!!

    Our daughter chose Dodson Orchards as her wedding venue. Jen was a pleasure to work with! She covered all the details and made our daughters wedding exactly what she envisioned. We appreciated the “one stop shop” experience. Knowing the venue could cater, decorate, clean up, and a arrange DJ lightened our load tremendously. We just had to arrange for flowers and cake. And Dodson Orchards even provided local recommendations for those services too! Highly recommend! 10/10 for us! The scenery is beautiful. And just an hour outside STL!
