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!!!!

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.
