  • Spaces for 150-200 Guests
  • 3 Museums
  • 3 Outdoor Spaces
  • 3 Gardens

  Dixon Gallery & Gardens is a museum and public garden set on seventeen acres in Memphis, Tennessee, built around the home, gardens, and art collection bequeathed by Margaret Oates Dixon and Hugo Norton Dixon. The museum's collection includes more than 2,000 objects, with particular strength in French and American Impressionist paintings alongside notable German and English porcelain, and the Dixon mounts eight to ten exhibitions each year across its galleries. The surrounding gardens combine formal plantings, woodland areas, and cutting gardens, and offer two settings for wedding ceremonies: the sweeping South Lawn and the more intimate, circular Bowlin Stage, each accommodating up to 200 guests. Receptions and rehearsal dinners move indoors to the Hughes Pavilion, a brick building in the Woodland Gardens with large skylights and floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over woodland, lawn, and garden sculpture; surrounding patios, covered by a seasonal tent, let the celebration extend outdoors. The Pavilion accommodates up to 200 guests for a cocktail-style reception or 80 to 150 for a seated meal. For couples who prefer a smaller ceremony, the Dixon also offers a vow-exchange option for fifteen guests or fewer, with a choice of smaller garden backdrops throughout the property. On-site catering is handled in partnership with Park + Cherry by Chef Phillip Dewayne.
