In the heart of downtown Dallas, there’s a wedding venue that feels like a secret escape from the city. Marie Gabrielle Restaurant & Gardens is a true garden oasis tucked among high-rises, yet wrapped in 1.5 acres of manicured European-style gardens, a serene reflection pond, and tree-lined views in every direction. It’s no surprise that couples across North Texas are drawn to this hidden gem for a wedding day that feels both romantic and relaxed.
But what makes Marie Gabrielle especially memorable is that its beauty doesn’t end at the garden gates. Indoors, this venue offers just as much charm, with elegant, light-filled spaces that complement the surrounding nature and offer year-round flexibility for your celebration.

Natural Beauty Indoors and Out
While many couples fall in love with Marie Gabrielle for its stunning outdoor ceremony spaces, the indoor offerings are just as thoughtfully designed. The main dining room features expansive windows, allowing natural light to flood in while offering garden views creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
The venue also includes a private dining room that’s ideal for more smaller, more intimate rehearsal dinners, bridal brunches, or more intimate gatherings. Both spaces are clean, timeless, and adaptable. Perfect for everything from a black-tie affair to a modern garden party.

A Versatile Space for Every Style
Whether you’re planning an alfresco wedding under the trees or a seated dinner indoors, Marie Gabrielle’s layout makes it easy to host multiple parts of your event in one beautiful setting.

A European-Inspired Garden in the City
One of the most unique features of Marie Gabrielle is its setting: a European-style garden tucked right into the Harwood District. With boxwoods, birch trees, and the iconic reflection pond, the space feels like something out of a destination wedding just steps away from hotels, restaurants, and all the convenience downtown Dallas has to offer.
It’s this balance of nature and city that gives the venue its signature charm. As one recent bride shared, “It truly felt like we were transported somewhere else. The gardens were magical, and the indoor space was just as beautiful. It gave us peace of mind and made everything flow perfectly.”
