Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Just outside Dallas but feeling worlds away, this private venue has a secluded vibe, pretty wooded grounds, and purpose-built, rustic-modern gathering spaces that transform to fit weddings of all styles.
- You’ll swoon over the sweet, newly built wedding chapel, which is climate controlled and offers sweeping views across the property. For unique outdoor ceremonies, there’s the pretty elevated Overlook deck.
- The reception hall is simply stunning, with multi-hued hardwood flooring, tons of natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows, an attached covered patio, and a soaring vaulted wood-beamed ceiling.
