Tucked away in the Harwood District, Marie Gabrielle Restaurant and Gardens is a hidden European-style oasis that feels worlds away from the urban bustle of Uptown Dallas. The venue’s centerpiece is its 1.5-acre meticulously manicured garden, featuring a stunning 8,000-square-foot reflection pond, mature river birch trees, and lush boxwood hedges. Couples can exchange vows in the Grove, an enchanting outdoor cathedral of trees, or along the polished stone paths that wind through the estate. As the sun sets, the gardens are transformed by thousands of twinkling string lights, creating a "woodland wonderland" atmosphere that seamlessly blends natural beauty with sophisticated architectural design.
The transition from ceremony to celebration is effortless, with expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls in the restaurant offering guests a continuous view of the greenery from the comfort of an elegant, modern interior. Known for its culinary excellence, Marie Gabrielle provides a gourmet, from-scratch catering experience that features everything from refined plated dinners to interactive Southern-inspired stations. Whether you are planning an intimate micro-wedding or a grand gala for up to 400 guests, the venue’s dedicated team ensures a seamless flow between the lush outdoor lawns and the airy, light-filled dining room. It is the perfect destination for those dreaming of a French garden fairytale without ever leaving the heart of the city.
