From the reviews
We were looking for a wedding venue that offered an outdoor ceremony site with beautiful greenery and florals and an A/C controlled indoor reception with romantic lighting. Dunaway Gardens delivers on all fronts! An added bonus is the incredible staff that owns and operates the venue - Jennifer, Josh & Zach.
We visited this garden last week. They were closed because of some covid restrictions and I believe they were preparing for an event in a few days. But I spoke to the owner and she let us in.
Absolutely stunning wedding venue, breathtaking views all around, courtesy valet transportation from the parking lot to the wedding site. There's no need for decor, beauty surrounds this place, outstanding service during the reception. Have a Blessed Day.
This is a very great place to work! This venue takes care of everyone from their guests to the vendors. Highly recommend it if you're looking for some thing out of this world!
Getting married at Dunaway Gardens
Dunaway Gardens comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth it. First, see the glass house at the time of day and season you'd actually get married — the light pouring through the panes at golden hour is the whole reason to book one, but a greenhouse at noon in July feels very different from one at dusk in October, so ask about temperature and shade for your date and walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring the questions that only matter for a glass venue: is it heated and air-conditioned (the single most important question), what months do they actually book, is there shade cloth or diffusing glass for midday glare, what's the humidity like in summer, are candles or open flame allowed near the plants, and exactly what's included — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Glass venues are intimate and popular dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Dunaway Gardens
Corporate events, retreats, or private parties come up for Dunaway Gardens — greenhouse venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
