About this venue

Celebrate your special day at Dunn Gardens, a 1915 Olmsted-designed historic garden located just north of downtown Seattle. Our 7.5 acres of luscious Northwest native plants, meandering paths, and a peek-a-boo view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains never cease to amaze guests. This is truly the most beautiful garden in Seattle! There are many reasons to choose Dunn Gardens for your wedding, but one of the nicest things about celebrating here is that we only do one wedding per week, allowing you and your vendors to begin set-up on Thursday with a final clean-up on Monday. Our weddings range in size from simple elopements to micro weddings of up to 40 guests. We are flexible and always enjoy working with couples to create the wedding of their dreams. Why would you choose Dunn Gardens? Privacy, personalized service, and your choice of location for the ceremony that provides a variety of scenic and natural opportunities for photographs.

The Great Lawn

You and your guests will be mesmerized by the magic of Dunn Gardens -- truly a hidden gem in the heat of NW Seattle.

Dunn Gardens is a 1915 historic garden designed by the Olmsted Brothers. You and your guests will have access to 7.5 acres of towering heritage trees, vast stretches of open lawns, meandering paths, and a peek-a-boo view of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains. Because we are not a wedding venue, there is a great deal of flexibility when planning your event, including your choice of vendors and the ability to have your tent (if you choose to use one) set-up on Thursday with a Monday take down.
