Dixon Gallery and Gardens

ommend to anybody.

er while also enjoying the amazing gardens. Sarah, our contact person for the venue rental, was so helpful and friendly despite our millions of questions and was really an excellent source of information about what would look best in the space. The price is a little steep because you need to purchase a year-long membership as well, but if you live near the Dixon the number of events/parties/exhibits that are included make it worth it. My mom will be renewing her membership next year! Cannot recommend the Dixon enough!

Catmur, offers the most valuable insights and advice! I HIGHLY recommend this venue!

it for you. They were prompt with responding and always willing to let us come and see the venue for certain questions and concerns we had. They kept the grounds looking amazing and of course the mosquitos came out during our rehearsal so they were quick to tell us they were putting down special repellant for the wedding to help keep the mosquitos down. They gave us adequate time and space to carry out all that we needed for our special day. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and pain free, easy to work with venue and staff.

If you're thinking about an indoor/outdoor reception in Memphis, please just go look at Dixon Gallery & Gardens. You'll probably fall in love immediately like I did!

ting of our own (outside of tenting the Terrace, which I highly recommend - it rained briefly during the reception and the tent kept it from being a problem) because the space is already so pretty. We comfortably sat 90 people on the Terrace with room for a dance floor and DJ. Sarah Schiavoni went above and beyond to help us. She arranged for me to drop by the Gardens whenever I needed to for planning purposes, and even met with my caterer and me on the grounds to help design our layout. She always replied promptly, provided documents and receipts whenever I needed them, and remembered details about our wedding even when it had been months since we'd spoken. There were restrictions on what we could and could not bring, and the price tag was a bit higher because they did not provide chairs, but it was worth it for us because the venue was so beautiful and the office was so organized. I had a great experience!

ception in the Hughes Pavillion and it couldn't have been any better. We had 125 guests and that was the perfect number for the space! The space is so gorgeous on its own, I didn't have to do too much with decor and it was so nice to be in Memphis but feel like we were a million miles away from the busy city. It is so peaceful and quiet and the BEST place to have the best day ever!
