Located in Peculiar, Missouri, The Dogwood Gardens is a modern take on a rustic-style wedding event venue. The property is inclusive of eight and a half acres, full of scenic nature and ideal photo backdrops. The main building, a barn-style structure, is a versatile and flexible space, able to support a wide range of arrangements and setups.

Facilities and Capacity

The barn-style event hall at The Dogwood Gardens is approximately 3,000 square feet. Inside, couples will find separate get-ready spaces as well as a staircase tucked under a stunning balcony that leads back to the primary celebration area. Also accessible is a large professional prep area for caterers. This space allows a location for chefs to use, composing food to be served fresh. Fitted with a built-in bar, this venue offers up a dedicated area where couples can serve the drinks of their choice. During the celebration, in the main room, an 85-inch screen may be used for slideshows or presentations. These elements, combined with the charm of a wood-carved hall, provide a cozy setting with modern amenities. Outdoors, there are also plenty of spectacular spots to discover. Woods, water, and a cedar patio all welcome couples' explorations.

Services Offered

Booking at The Dogwood Gardens provides the use of both the barn and the surrounding land. When the time comes to tie the knot, ceremonies may be held outdoors, beside the fountain water feature. Afterward, receptions will be stocked with Chiavari chairs and matching tables, all of which are set up and taken down by staff. Food services during this time can include dessert, servers, a wedding cake, and cake cutting. The celebration does not have to be confined to the barn, and outdoor activities can be arranged to bask in the open air while enjoying festivities with loved ones.

Fantastically Family Owned Venue

My husband and I had our wedding this past October at Dogwood Gardens. Bret and his family were absolutely AMAZING! This truly is a family run business and it shows. They went above and beyond to make the wedding as stress free as possible. Bret was incredibly flexible and kind. I was originally against the idea of going here because of how far it is from where we live, however I could not be happier with how our day turned out. At our wedding we had Bret, his dad and his uncle there to help coordinate, set up and tear down. They were there the entire day and even helped my friend and family decorate our getaway car! With how crazy the drawings were, and me being a teacher, they even went above and beyond to offer services to get my car cleaned before I went back to work. I cannot recommend The Dogwood Gardens enough! It is an absolutely gorgeous venue at an amazing price and with GREAT people.

Couldn’t have been any better

Could not have worked out any better. Even with a last minute wedding added to the reception due to Covid closings. Owners were onsite entire day/night and very responsive. I have absolutely nothing negative. Well worth my money! Thank you both! Excellent experience all around.
