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!
