We had our wedding party at Dunwoody Nature Center (DNC) in the Northwoods Pavilion in the spring. We worked primarily with Abigail, and also Jazmine on the day of the event. Both were great to work with! We had about 60-70 people, including a few kids. We rented the venue for 8 hours, which included set up and take down time. DNC gave us a menu of possible set up arrangements and all of the tables and chairs were set up how we agreed when we arrived. DNC also handled putting away tables and chairs, so we could just leave them at the end of the night. There are a few specific rules around trash that are worth asking about for your event.

Reviews
As an environmental science major it's so wonderful to see a park incorporate so much nature not only is it more enjoyable parks like this can make such a difference in surrounding ecosystems. I love what they're doing here
Nice spot to be able to walk around nature a little bit. The trails seem nice and well maintained, but I wish there were a few more benches as I like to bring my lunch and birdwatch while I eat. And keep in mind it’s right next to an elementary school so if you’re there on a weekday, while very cute, it’s not exactly a peaceful outdoor experience!
