If I could give this venue 100 stars, I absolutely would! ❤️🥹
Our wedding day was everything we could have dreamed of, and so much of that is thanks to the incredible people at this venue. The property itself is absolutely STUNNING, but what truly makes this place special is the people behind it.
Amanda and her husband, Stacey, are two of the kindest, most wonderful people, and they genuinely go above and beyond for their couples. We had several unexpected personal situations and last-minute things come up on our wedding day, and they were so helpful, understanding, and accommodating. They helped take some of the stress off our shoulders when we needed it most, and we will forever be grateful for that.
One of my favorite things about this venue is the entire shed full of decorations that couples are welcome to use! This was such a HUGE money saver and gave us so many beautiful options without having to purchase or rent everything ourselves. If you’re planning a wedding on a budget, this is such an incredible perk!
I also have to give a special shout-out to Sarah, who deserves recognition all on her own. 🥹❤️ She stayed by my side throughout the entire wedding day, constantly offering to help with anything and everything I needed. She went so far above and beyond her job description that I honestly don’t even have the words to express how much it meant to me. One of the sweetest things she did was secretly take photos of our last dance together after our photographer had already left. I never even asked her to do that, but she thought of it herself, and I am SO incredibly thankful she did. Those are memories I might not have had otherwise, and that small act of kindness meant more to me than she probably realizes.
We traveled almost TWO HOURS from our home on Lake Tawakoni to get married here, and I would make that drive a hundred times over without hesitation. In fact, I genuinely wish I could get married a hundred times just to experience this venue and their amazing staff all over again! 😂❤️
If you’re looking for a beautiful venue with genuinely caring people who will go above and beyond to make your day special, PLEASE look no further. This place is worth every penny, every mile, and every bit of the drive. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Amanda, Stacey, Sarah, and the entire team: THANK YOU for helping make our wedding day so special. We will never forget the kindness you showed us, and we are so grateful we chose you! ❤️💍✨
We were married here on 7/25/26 and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this venue. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff is amazing! Amanda and her staff were on top of everything from the first time we met with them and even after we were married. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a venue.

We both grew up in small town country environments, where life is simple, friendships are life-long and entertainment usually involves a place somewhere down a country road. Amanda has always had a gift for bringing groups together for events, and spares no time in getting the fun and games started. I, on the other hand, am a little more reserved, but have had my share of fun singing and playing my guitar in get togethers or at venues. With all that being said, we love the social setting and enjoy meeting new people and entertaining.
