Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Overlooking miles of rolling countryside, this 20-acre event center perched on a hill is rustic yet modern and can host a celebration of almost any size. The elegant lodge-like buildings on the site are made of reclaimed barn wood and retain a timeless patina.
  • A stunning gazebo with panoramic views provides a showstopping ceremony site. Hand-carved cedar pews surround the stone path that leads to the altar. Other outdoor areas include a cozy fire pit carved from an old rock quarry.
  • Glowing chandeliers and exposed ductwork in the impressive reception hall create an exciting balance of vintage charm and industrial chic. Gorgeous cross-backed chairs, a customizable assortment of tables, uplighting, and more are included.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Stone Crest Venue, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Booking Stone Crest Venue gets you 14 hours on a 20-acre hilltop, with a 100-year-old barn wood interior, a 32-foot stone fireplace, a bar with an outside service window and a lounge with a roll-up door. The rental includes cross-back chairs and round, rectangle, square, display and cocktail tables, uplighting, a gobo projector, an 85-inch TV, ice, coolers, a prep kitchen, indoor and outdoor dressing rooms, ceremony speakers with a wireless mic, and paved, lit parking. You'll pay separately for catering, alcohol, a licensed bartender and a required peace officer when alcohol is served, plus add-ons like the $800 Covered Chapel.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Stone Crest Venue, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes. At Stone Crest Venue, you can marry at the gazebo, with hand-carved cedar pews along a stone path, or in the Covered Chapel ($800 add-on), which seats 200 and has a glass wall overlooking the horizon. The reception follows in the barn-wood hall, which seats up to 275, with a fire pit and yard games outside.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Stone Crest Venue or do we have to use yours?

Bring them. Stone Crest Venue has an open vendor policy with no extra fees, as long as vendors are insured and clean up after themselves, and your caterer handles bussing and trash. You can bring your own beer, wine and mixed drinks (no shots), served by a TABC-licensed bartender with $1,000,000 in insurance, and a certified peace officer is required wherever alcohol is served.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Stone Crest Venue, and is there a minimum?

At Stone Crest Venue, a 14-hour rental is $9,000 on Saturdays, $6,900 on Fridays, $6,000 on Sundays and $4,000 Monday–Thursday. January, February, July and August dates save $2,000 on Friday–Sunday and $1,000 on weekdays, and the venue lists no taxes or service fees. A 25% retainer holds your date, with the balance in three payments, the last due 30 days before your wedding.

How long do we get at Stone Crest Venue, and when does the music have to stop?

Friday and Saturday rentals at Stone Crest Venue run 14 hours starting at 10am, with music, alcohol and guests wrapping by 11pm and cleanup until 12am; an extra late hour is $500. Sunday–Thursday rentals start at 9am, with music and guests ending at 10pm and cleanup until 11pm.

If it rains on our wedding day at Stone Crest Venue, what would the backup ceremony actually look like?

If the weather turns at Stone Crest Venue, the team may change the site, setup or preparation, and they'll make the call by 9am on your wedding day and let you know. You're encouraged to prepare a plan B floor plan ahead of time, and the $800 Covered Chapel, which seats 200 with patio heaters and large fans, gives you a covered ceremony option.

What makes Stone Crest Venue different from the other venues near it?

Stone Crest Venue sits on a 20-acre hilltop near McKinney with views of rolling countryside, a 100-year-old barn wood interior and a 32-foot stone fireplace. It has an open vendor policy, so you can bring your own caterer and alcohol, and the rental lists no taxes or service fees. You get 14 hours, a waterfall that drops from the ceremony arbor to a fire pit carved from an old rock quarry, and yard games.

Can we have sparklers, candles, or a sparkler exit at Stone Crest Venue?

Yes, sparklers are allowed at Stone Crest Venue, up to 24 inches long, and the venue provides a metal bucket for disposal; you're responsible for any liability. Candles are fine in containers on tables and in the fireplace, but glitter, rice, birdseed, confetti and silly string aren't allowed.
