We started planning our wedding in August 2020 in the middle of the pandemic and initially met with Lynn. She made us feel like she was genuinely interested in helping us create our day. Lynn helped us with most of the planning and recently left the resort in February. My husband and I called Lynn the night she left and she reassured us that the team would still deliver our expectations. Shortly after Lynn left, we met with Kaitlin, who is now one of the coordinators at the resort and she made us feel as comfortable and confident with our decisions and planning as Lynn had. Our wedding day was phenomenal and Kaitlin worked seamlessly to provide us with a beautiful and amazing day. She worked well with our vendors and made sure the day was about us. We kept hearing that the bride and groom don’t spend much time during the wedding-however, Kaitlin and the team made sure everything was handled perfectly and we were together the whole night. We can’t say enough good things about our day and the care the team put into our day and time together. Dunham’s Bay went well above and beyond any of our expectations and matched our thoughts and ideas for our day perfectly. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Lake George Wedding
After looking endlessly all over lake George for the perfect wedding venue, we chose Dunham’s! It was a roller coaster of emotions but EVERYTHING came together in the most perfect way! A personalized food tasting was one of our best moments, compliments to Chef Michael! Matt, Kaitlin, and Ashley answered every single question we had (and we had a lot lol) and answered promptly and honestly! We are from Long Island so planing a wedding 4 hours away had its challenges! But Dunham’s made it all possible - they made our lake wedding come to life and our guests said it was one of the best weddings they have been to! Thank you to the Dunham’s team! See you again soon!

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!
Dunham’s bay was nothing short of incredible! The whole staff was absolutely amazing, we can’t thank everyone enough.
Our wedding coordinator, Kaitlin, was an absolute rockstar. It started down-pouring during the reception and the water started to pile up in certain areas of the tent roof, but she came with a pole and was fixing all the flooding herself (and getting drenched in the process!) She was constantly checking in on my husband and I throughout the day making sure we were okay. It’s obvious she loves what she does and we can’t thank her enough for all she did for us throughout this whole process.
Our suite was so spacious and perfect for us girls getting ready in the morning. We had plenty of room to have a makeup artist and hair stylist come in and also 6-7 other girls in the room. Everyone at the venue was just super friendly and excited for us, we couldn’t have asked for a better venue.
We heard from several friends and family that the staff was amazing as well. Thank you Dunham’s bay!!!!

Absolutely PERFECT wedding day!! :)
From the moment we met Lynn for our tour, we knew this place was different - in an amazing way. We looked at 12 venues and Dunham's Bay was our last tour. I almost cancelled the tour and I am SO glad that I didn't. Lynn took so much time to get to know us and what we were looking for in a wedding. She is the only host that sat with us like she had all the time in the world to talk to us. And that was all before we decided this was the place for us! Lynn was there every step of the way, guided us through the whole process, and answered all of our (million) questions. When we checked in the day before the wedding - I had a complete anxiety breakdown - as soon as I saw Lynn, she eased all of my stress about our wedding day within minutes. She is a bride whisperer! And of course the wedding day - completely flawless. Shout out to the ENTIRE Dunham's Bay team - just wow. I don't even have words. It was clear how hard they worked and how experienced everyone was. Every piece of food was amazing - special thanks to Chef. Our signature drinks were incredible - thanks Jack! Every moment of the night played out perfectly, from the ceremony to the sparkler send off and it's all thanks to this team. Lynn, I appreciate you so much and everything you did for us. My entire family made comments afterwards about how hard you worked and how wonderful everything turned out. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat to anyone and everyone. Perfect day. We will definitely be returning :)

Dunham’s Bay
There isn’t one detail that was overlooked by Lynn and her team. They even provided us with things we hadn’t thought of. Everything went off without a hitch! I would do it all over again there in a heartbeat. From our very first meeting with Lynn, we knew we weren’t looking anywhere else. Absolutely overjoyed by her and her wonderful teams hard work. It was as if they were doing it for their own family member. We will be spending all of our anniversaries and many vacations there in the future. ❤️

Amazing wedding team
My husband and I had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and we ended up redoing everything. Right from the beginning Lynn had our back and made sure we kept focusing on us and what we wanted for our day. We had a wedding weekend July 4th and all of our friends and family got to stay at the property all weekend which we loved the most. On the wedding day, Lynn and her team were incredible making sure us and our guests had the best time. All of the special touches the last dance alone, appetizers and drinks alone after the ceremony, sparkler exit etc were so amazing for us to have. The food was excellent and our family can’t stop raving still almost 6 months later how wonderful it was. Dunhams Bay is a wonderful wedding venue and can’t beat the lake view!!

The best day!
Dunham’s Bay was the perfect place for our wedding! Our ceremony was overlooking the lake which was exactly what I wanted. From the very beginning Lynn took the time to get to know us and what we wanted for our wedding. Even when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid, Lynn was always there to answer any questions we had. Lynn and her staff are amazing! The set up of the ceremony and reception was exactly what I had envisioned and the food was outstanding! Our wedding our guests still talked about how great the food was and what a great time they had after the wedding. We couldn’t have picked a better place to get married. We cannot thank Lynn and her staff enough for making our day so perfect! Highly recommend Dunham’s Bay Resort!

Perfection on the Lake
We cannot say enough amazing things about this venue and their staff. We knew from the moment we met Lynn that this was where we wanted to hold our wedding. Lynn as a wedding coordinator was fabulous. Lynn and all of her staff went above and beyond to make sure we would remember our wedding day forever. From the start of the planning, Lynn was always available by email and phone to help us find any other vendors we needed, coordinating the outside vendor’s needs all the way through the event, helping us work out all of the small details that come up, and making everything as stress free as possible. The food was delicious and the menu that the staff helped us plan for our wedding day had something everyone to enjoy. Our wedding day ran perfectly all thanks to the staffs well planned coordination and perfect handling of all of our outside vendors needs. This place has amazing views for the wedding ceremony and a first look, if one is scheduled. It is an amazing location to hold a wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Amazing place to have your dream wedding
We had our wedding at Dunham's Bay Resort back in August. Lynn and Dunham's Bay were so flexible and understanding about everything!! We had to postpone our wedding a year due to COVID and everything was transitioned to the new date. We ordered bulk flowers and Lynn and her amazing staff received them and put them in our cabin without issues. Dunham's Bay has multiple locations to choose from for ceremony and reception. This allows for multiple photo locations as well.
As the Bride Lynn was the best in making sure everything went smoothly and efficiently. I knew everything would be great because of Lynn, so I was able to relax. All family and friends could not stop raving about how beautiful and fun our wedding was.

Best day ever
Lynn was absolutely amazing and the venue is just beautiful. Food was so good and my day was just absolutely perfect. I couldn't have done it without Lynn!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
I have officiated several weddings at this venue. It's one of my favorites! The backdrop of Lake George for the ceremony is so beautiful. The grounds are well maintained and the staff is top notch. Lynn, the wedding coordinator, is the best in the biz and a joy to work with.
Lynn and her extraordinary wedding team always do a great job!! As a wedding vendor, I always get feedback from my brides and I have honestly never heard a bad review from a bride. Everyone has such great things to say about Dunhams Bay! I have stayed here several times, just as a hotel guest and all the staff are friendly & helpful.
