I am being 100% honest when I say that my wedding and experience with Dunham’s Bay Resort was perfect! I thought that it would be so difficult to plan a NY wedding while living in Florida, but Lynn made it so incredibly easy. All I had to do was tell her what I wanted and it was done. We had an outdoor ceremony on the terrace (amazing view, btw) and had the reception under the tent. We were allowed to have our two dogs in the ceremony and we could decorate the tent however we wanted it. The value for this place was also incredible! Lynn also helped me pick the florist, videographer, and officiant, all who have worked with DBR in the past a knew how things worked there. If you want a beautiful, scenic wedding and are working long distance, this is the venue for you.

Dunhams bay was amazing. The moment we met Lynn we knew that this was the place for us. She made sure every thing went perfect and I can't thank her enough for all she did for us. They were able to accommodate all of my food allergies. She even went to get my favorite food brands so I could enjoy my wedding!

Our daughter, Lauren, had the most beautiful wedding at the Resort June 29, 2018. The venue is lovely, right on a secluded bay on Lake George, with a spectacular view. The food was excellent, the accommodations great, and it is a kid-friendly place with indoor heated pool, outdoor games and playground, and access to the beach across the road. The reception tent is roomy, with a solid floor-not grass.
The best aspect of the Resort was the wedding coordinator, Lynn. She impressed us from our first meeting, saying that her aim was to make sure everyone, especially the bridal party and family, enjoy the event. Boy, did she deliver! She took care of everything, from the small details like place cards and table numbers to taking all through the ceremony and putting everyone at ease. If something was needed, she was there to get it. The whole wedding ran smoothly because of her, and we all did enjoy ourselves immensely. She is a valued staff member of the Resort, and we can't recommend her highly enough!
