    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...

    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...

    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!

    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.

    Accommodating

    Lynn and her team at Dunham's Bay were our first pick for our wedding but unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we were forced to cancel our special day at Dunham's Bay. From the first day we met, Lynn made us feel like family and we were heartbroken when we had to cancel our wedding. We would recommend Dunham's Bay not only because the venue is beautiful and the food is delicious, but because Lynn and her team make Dunham's Bay much more than just any other venue. Thank you again Lynn!

    The absolute best!

    I can't even to begin to describe how amazing our wedding at Dunham's was and that can be accredited to Lynn and her staff. I knew from our very first visit with Lynn as we were looking for a venue we found our location. The first question she asked us was "what's most important to you on your wedding day?" It totally took me off guard because organizers at other venues barely spoke to us beyond going through menus and prices. I could tell right then and there that her attention to detail and passion for what she did was what was going to make this the wedding of our dreams.

    When it came to the big...

    Dunhams Bay Bends Over Backwards!

    We were absolutely blown away by our entire experience at Dunhams Bay. From the food to the staff to all of the accommodations, everything was perfect. A huge shout out to Lynn who is absolutely incredible! We could not thank her enough for her attention to detail and making the day run as smoothly as possible. She never missed a beat! I don’t think we could’ve imagined a more perfect weekend. Thank you to everyone involved, we are forever grateful!

    Total package

    Where do I even start... Lynn! That’s where it all began. With a mimosa and coffee during our lake side consultation. She described a wedding by the lake with a sparkler send off and fire pit after party... and she got my husband excited about the details of it all. And that’s when we knew we were in the right place. From the beginning to end, Lynn grew from our coordinator to one of our favorite friends. She never missed a detail, offered me suggestions tailored to my personality, offered me a shot right before the ceremony, danced with me at my wedding, and even assured my brother-in-law with Down Syndrome had an entire pot of gluten free pasta...

    There aren't enough words to describe the appreciation that we have for Lynn and her team at Dunham's Bay. Because of them, our day was perfect, relaxed and so much fun. Lynn was there every step of the way, making sure we had everything we needed. She did not miss one detail and went so far beyond her call of duty. We are fortunate to call Lynn a friend and will always have a special place in our hearts for Dunham's Bay. We cant wait to visit as much as we can to relive memories from our special day.

    My husband and I both knew as soon as we saw Dubhams Bay that we wanted to hold our reception there. We met jack the bar tender who took care of us like we were family. We met Lynn who completely worked with us and helped us keep our day simple and special. She has amazing ideas and worked with us every step of the way. Brad the chef is a God! The food was absolute phenomenal. Our day came off with only a few mishaps, but Lynn and her staff were right there to get us through. We will go back for our anniversaries as the whole staff at Dunhams is wonderful!

    We are so happy that we chose Dunham's Bay for our wedding and reception. Lynn, Dyann, and the rest of the staff is just amazing. They are very knowledgable and genuinely committed to helping you attain your wedding vision. They include a great number of services in their base price that other vendors often charge for, which saved us money. Lynn was great about running the day while also being respectful to our other vendors and considerate of everyone's feelings. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our venue was and how much fun our reception was (not to mention how great the food was!), and Lynn and the Dunham's Bay staff played a vital role in that....

    Dunham's bay resort and thier staff are simply amazing! Lynn is by your side EVERY step of the way. She answers every question you have and I had a lot! She even helped me figure out a way to skype my mom during my wedding because my mother was in the hositpal and coughs not make it! My wedding was MY version and I was able to do this because you aren't given a package to pick from you choose everything from the napkin colors down to food! Lynn is wonderful a and she literally made my day worry free!

    Amazing Venue!! We didn't have to worry about a thing the day of our wedding, Lynn took care of everything & let us enjoy our day without worrying about the "what if's" that can happen. The food was amazing & Jon was great to work with to create our perfect menu for our guests!

    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!

    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)...

    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...

    Exceptional venue!

    Our daughter’s wedding was held at Dunham’s Bay in 9/18/21. Absolutely wonderful from the welcome dinner for our guests to the buffet breakfast the morning after the wedding!
    A huge shoutout thank you to Lynn Clausen, the coordinator! She did an awesome job with every detail! Can’t say enough good about her. Lynn and Dunham’s Bay did an awesome job keeping events safely outside!

    Incredible!!

    We picked this place based on our conversation with Lynn, where she described how our wedding day would go. It was filled with little moments for us, and it was immediately apparent how much she cares for her couples and their big day.

    Our plans changed a couple times (the first due to COVID, the second due to personal circumstances) but they were just as accommodating. We have the most gorgeous photos on the patio, and had the best time. She even recommended some of our vendors, and all of them were just as wonderful. We also utilized the space across the street (you can use it for a $40 fee, and honestly it was worth it)...
