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!

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!!!!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Alyssa,
We are so happy that you enjoyed your special day! We hope that you and Kyle make amazing memories and nothing but the absolute best!
We hope you come back to visit us soon! -

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.Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind words not only for myself but for my amazing staff. We together work very hard to ensure that our couples have the best experience ever on their wedding day. Amanda and James I wish for you the best life can offer and hope to see you before your anniversary next year. Congratulations. -

Im still waiting on some pictures but will add more. Thank you for making our wedding the best day of our lives!!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:

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!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Thank you for the kind words. You and Andrew were a pleasure to work with and I'm glad my staff and I could make a day you will always cherish and family will always remember. -

Alyson L. Sent on 12/24/2021Amazing 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!! -

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. ❤️Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
We loved your vision and it was so fun working with you and Hugh. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel like work cause we have so much fun!!! We are looking forward to seeing you back again and again. -

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) to take first loom photos. They were just as romantic and beautiful as I had envisioned for photos!
The food was delicious, too! So much flavor in each dish, and very filling! Everyone raved about their meals. I would also like to shout out the groundskeeper who helped us open a bottle of champagne when we were struggling!
We looked at so many places, but we know without a doubt this was the right place for us!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
What a time to go through planning, I'm glad I was able to make the day so special for you and Drew. You captured all of the resort by having first look in the wedding in the woods, ceremony on the Patio and personal pictures across the street right on the water.
Please come back and see us and bring the wedding photos so I can see them all. -

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!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Thank you Jennie and Pete,
It was so fun planning with you both (we had a lot of laughs at the food tasting). I have to admit I cried after we spoke of cancelling, but totally understand that you want to start your family, so we must do a vow renewal in the future with hopefully your children as the flower girl and/or ring security. Hope to see you soon for dinner.
Love, Lynn -

I couldn’t have asked for a better day! Our wedding was beyond perfect all thanks to the staff at Dunham’s Bay Resort and especially Lynn! She makes sure everything is perfect in every way! The food is amazing and the views are beautiful! I highly recommend Dunham’s Bay!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
So ready to have part II this weekend with all the family and friends. Formal wedding with a Halloween party at the end. It has been such a pleasure planning both weddings with you and the staff is also really looking forward to this weekend. -

Nicole U. Sent on 10/13/2021Amazing 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.Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
What an amazing weekend that you had. It was so great to have a lot of family and friends here all weekend to celebrate. It was a pleasure working with you both. Can't wait to see you back again.

5 Stars!!!!!
Where do I begin?! Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting us on our selection of the venue. Everything from the food to the staff to the decor and ambiance of our entire weekend was perfect. The day went better than we ever could’ve imagined. The patio ceremony is gorgeous, the pool cocktail hour is cozy, the reception under the tent is beautiful and the fire pit is icing on the cake!
Dunhams Bay Resort has tons of space which really helps make your wedding unique. We monopolized the whole place! We had a welcome dinner in the downstairs bar the day before, used 3 different spaces for the day of the wedding and then brunch in the upstairs restaurant the next day. Not to mention that there was something for our guests to do all weekend between swimming, bocci courts and the fire pit.
The service...was...impeccable! I can’t say enough good things about all of the staff. Throughout the year-long wedding process, they were there to help answer any questions and get in touch with people if we needed them too. They made the weekend of our wedding flawless. Our guests literally went out of their way to tell us how fantastic the staff was. Special thank you to Lynn who helped us every step of the way and then some! She really went above and beyond.
I would recommend DBR 100% for your wedding, a hidden gem in Lake George. It’s private, spacious, great ambiance and fantastic staff...they focus on YOU all weekend. Absolutely the best. Couldn’t imagine my wedding anywhere else!
Thanks so much to everyone at Dunhams Bay Resort!!!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Thank you for your kind words, It was such a great day. Hope to see you on your anniversary or sooner, Love Lynn -

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!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
What an EPIC day!!! It was my pleasure to make your wedding day so special, you ladies were super fabulous to work with. Hope to see you soon. -

Stephanie Sent on 11/10/2019The 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 day, Lynn and her team did everything. Checked in during the day as we got ready to make sure her staff had everything set up exactly how I envisioned it, helped the flow of guests from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception to even decorating our room beautifully before we made our way back to our cabin at the end of the night.. literally everything above and beyond. I tend to be a worry wart and was worried that there were going to be hiccups because I didn't think of everything but nope. There was none of that. The only thing I had to worry about was having fun! It was worth every single penny. If you are considering Dunham's Bay, look no further. You will NOT be disappointed in any way. -

Kelly Sent on 10/22/2019Total 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 just to his liking. She didn’t miss a BEAT.
Dunham’s was where we got married, but it became a home to us. We would stop in when we were in town for a drink, and the bartender knew us by name. The whole experience was flawless. You can’t find hospitality, or love, like you can at Dunham’s.Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Kelly and Matty,
It's people like you that make my world a happy place. I'm so happy that I was able to make your wedding EPIC!!! But the best part is the friendship we developed and will have for a lifetime. Love you both! -

Absolutely Perfect 💚
When they say Dunham’s Bay is a hidden gem... they arent kidding! We were looking for a venue that had both of our favorite things, water and woods. Dunham’s Bay was the total package! Beautiful lake front view for our ceremony, great air conditioned reception inside, and ended the night out back relaxing by the fire pit with our family and friends 💚 The atmosphere is completely relaxing and chill, yet beautiful and elegant all at the same time. Lynn (the wedding planner) and all of her staff were incredible! She totally got the vision that I had, and she made it come to life! Every little detail was taken care of, which made our day completely stress free and amazing!
The food there was to die for! We did buffet style which allowed our guests to enjoy many different options from grilled swordfish, Caribbean jerk chicken and a top sirloin carving station! Those were just the ones we chose... so many others for you to pick from! In addition, there was a pasta station with a choice of 3 different sauces! From the appetizers, to entrees and everything in between... perfection!
Like I mentioned before, the staff there is incredible! Super friendly and fun! It was one of the hottest days this year, and the smiles never left their faces! Lynn and some of the ladies even joined us on the dance floor for a bit 🙂 The bartender was great as well! Our guests never had an empty hand!
Lastly, the rooms and cabins. Clean, spacious and cozy as heck! Yes, it’s an older building, but that’s what made it perfect for us! It gives you the “Dirty Dancing” vibe that I loved so much! The staff does a wonderful job with keeping up on the grounds and cleanliness! When we got back to our cabin at the end of the night, Lynn and her staff had set up a nice surprise in our room 😊
We would not have had our perfect wedding anywhere else... this is a truly magical place that we will continue to visit for years to come!Dunham's Bay Resort's reply:
Even when the heat index is over 100 degree's you never complained. We had so much fun planning your wedding and so happy we could put on an epic wedding for you!!! Love you both and hope to see you for your anniversary or even before than. -
