Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Set on 50 acres of meadows and its beautiful namesake wildflowers, this East Texas venue offers a pastoral, peaceful vibe but is an easy drive from Dallas and its suburbs. Photo ops abound: snap romantic portraits in a rowboat on the lake, on a "bicycle built for two," or with the sweet resident llamas.
  • Whether you say "I do" at the edge of the pond or beneath the oak and cedar trees, your ceremony will be picture-perfect. Follow with cocktails and games on the lawn, and a reception in the dreamy, barn-inspired event room. Don't forget to book their custom camper photo booth to capture all the fun.
  • Spend the night in one of their custom glamping yurts, which are climate-controlled and comfy with interior restrooms, cute kitchen areas, and inviting boho-chic styling. This is glamping at its finest!

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Your rental at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue in Emory includes 30 round tables with eight wooden chairs each, four farmhouse tables with 40 cross-back chairs, a sweetheart table, a 15-foot serving bar and a bar that serves both inside and out onto the wraparound porch. You also get a bridal suite, a groom's suite, a caterer's kitchen, the décor barn and the photo booth camper, and floor staff handle setup, teardown, trash and table bussing. Plan separately for catering, alcohol, TABC-certified bartenders (paid directly) and security, which is required whenever alcohol is served.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, you can have both at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue, so guests never leave the 50-acre property. Say "I do" outdoors at the edge of the pond or beneath the oak and cedar trees, with tables, chairs and benches set up before you arrive. Afterward, guests can enjoy cocktails and lawn games, then head into the barn-inspired event room for the reception.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue or do we have to use yours?

Catering at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue comes from the venue's preferred list, which includes caterers like Fusion in the Woods, Blazin Pizza Company and Azalea Catering Company. You can bring your own alcohol, but it's served from the venue's bar by TABC-certified bartenders that Wildflower management selects and schedules, and you pay them directly. Security is required whenever alcohol is served, usually for four hours, and any officer not on the preferred list needs approval at least 60 days ahead.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue, and is there a minimum?

At The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue in Emory, the rental is $6,700 on a Saturday, $5,700 on a Friday, $4,700 on a Sunday and $4,000 Monday–Thursday. That covers the tables and chairs, both suites, the décor barn, the photo booth camper and floor staff for setup, cleanup and bussing. Your catering, alcohol, bartenders and security are extra, and you can add day-of coordination for $1,300, a décor setup package for $500 or both for $1,500. Booking venue, photography, coordination and florals together through The Curated Collective saves $1,430, and active military and veterans get 10% off, with $400 off for teachers, first responders and nurses.

How long do we get at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue, and when does the music have to stop?

Friday and Saturday rentals at The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue run from 9am to midnight, with 11pm–midnight set aside for cleanup and vendor strike. Sunday–Thursday rentals end at 11pm, with 10pm–11pm for cleanup. Amplified music is allowed both indoors and outdoors, so the party can spill onto the wraparound porch.

What makes The Wildflower Wedding and Special Event Venue different from the other venues near it?

A photo booth camper with props and an instant-share iPad comes with every wedding booking, and the décor barn is packed with pieces you can use for your ceremony and reception. You can bring your own alcohol, too. The setting is 50 acres of meadows and wildflowers outside Emory, with a stocked pond, a rowboat for portraits and resident llamas.
