Nice Venue

We had the pleasure of attending a wedding reception at The Dogwood. Completely unassuming from the outside, this space is sure to wow even the most hard to please guest. The main level boasts a spacious dining room with a beautiful bar. It was cozy without feeling overwhelming. The decor was absolutely gorgeous everything has a modern aesthetic. There is a grand staircase leading to the second level. This space is an indoor/outdoor set up. Guests could filter in and out. There were three fire pits and ample seating on the patio. Perfect for a chilly evening. The bar on the second level was a little smaller, but highly functional. The team were so hospitable and friendly. The bartenders made quick work of keeping drinks full and the party going. The food was absolutely delicious! Cocktail hour consisted of a variety of appetizers including toasted ravioli, mini egg rolls, wontons, and chicken bites. Just what you need in your belly while consuming alcohol. Our meal will rate very high on my list of favorite wedding reception meals. The quality of the ingredients was reflected in the execution of each dish. Everything was perfectly done. This was a fantastic experience! Hoping I have more friends getting married soon so we can go back!

The Dogwood was absolutely perfect for our wedding and I can’t say enough good things about the venue and the wonderful people we worked with. We worked with Jules from the beginning and she was incredibly helpful and organized. She answered my questions and emails and was very timely in her responses as we got closer to the wedding. I know she also played a major role in getting everything set up and organizing vendors on the day of. Kelly was the main coordinator during the event and she was incredible. She was everywhere all at once- ensuring everything was getting set up, that things were moving along smoothly, and ensuring that we always had enough food and never an empty glass. She even stayed super calm and eased my worries during the tornado warning lol. I received so many comments from guests on how amazing the staff and bartenders were as well as how AMAZING the food was! The Social Affair is the exclusive caterer for the Dogwood and literally everything was 10/10 delicious. I received so many comments on how fantastic the food was and the variety of options they had was excellent. I could literally go on and on about how amazing The Dogwood was. If you’re considering having your event or wedding there, DO IT. The Dogwood truly was extraordinary, just as they promise!

I was obsessed with the Dogwood since the first step inside. The venue is absolutely beautiful for any modern bride. My personal style is a little midcentury modern, a little art deco, a little glam and the Dogwood fit my wedding vibe perfectly. Kelly and her team go above and beyond to make sure that your needs/wants are met. They are extremely professional, attentive, creative, and overall extraordinary. My questions via email were answered usually within a day. We were able to visit the venue and meet with the team multiple times to help plan our dream wedding. On the day of, The Dogwood team worked closely with all our vendors to ensure the day went smoothly. Although I am sad that the day is over, I am so happy that I chose The Dogwood for my venue!!
