If Southern - English Garden wedding is what you want then look no further! Our June 3 wedding weekend was fabulous. The Dunleith Staff were very helpful especially with all the ...
last minute changes we had to make due to bad weather coming during the ceremony. We had an evening wedding at Dunleith and rented out the property for the weekend. Having all the family and wedding party in the house and other rooms was so much fun and really made the day easier. Our poolside brunch was fun for all the family and children who enjoyed swimming and playing games on the grounds. The food was beyond fabulous and all I have to say is get the Oyster Shooters. We had Package III and the Call Bar package with signature drinks at cocktail hour. My guests have all raved about the fabulous time at Dunleith and have said it was the most memorable and greatest wedding they have been too. All I can say is rain or shine it was phenomenal and I would do it all over again at Dunleith. The one stop shopping makes it so easy as you use their florist for arrangements. Brenda is great to work with and very talented. Edna's cakes were fabulous and I would drive to Natchex to get a cake from Edna. Dunleith and Natchez provided a great destination wedding location that was easy to get too if living in MS, LA or Arkansas. Flying in was easy as well. People could fly to Jackson or Baton Rouge and rent a car. Natchez had lots for people to do during the non wedding time. Family and Friends that were not staying on property stayed at local hotels and BandB's. It was a great relaxing weekend for everyone and the group can't wait to return for a fun couples weekend. Thank you again to Shelley, Lyn, Becky and all of the Dunleith Staff for everything. We are many weeks past the wedding and still getting calls raving about the event, food and venue. The pictures I had taken are like stepping back in time.
