[SPOTLIGHT] Dallas Ft.Worth Wedding Venue : The Orchard

The Orchard, Azle TXThe Orchard can be found in a quiet corner of Dallas-Fort Worth area in Azle, TX.  Set in the middle of a 50-acre pecan orchard, this elegant venue sets the perfect Southwestern backdrop for your wedding of any size. The Orchard’s large reception hall can accommodate anywhere from 50 to 400 guests and features a full stage, modern audio / visual equipment, kitchen, bar and many of the other amenities you desire to ensure the most successful wedding event.  The 7,700 square foot venue opens to a beautifully landscaped lawn, offering a great venue for an outdoor wedding.

One of the best features of the venue is in it’s owners.  The venue is owned by Mike and D’Andra Davidson, who opened the venue because of their experiences in planning their oldest daughters wedding. After searching for the perfect wedding and reception venue, they just hadn’t found what they were looking for.  They realized that the over 100 acres of land they had lived on and enjoyed for years was the perfect spot for weddings and receptions.  The owners will do almost anything to help couples design their dream wedding and proudly share this great location with couples and their guests as they celebrate new chapters in their lives.

[VIDEO] Jacey+Jason's CharDans Villa Tyler, TX Wedding

There couldn’t have been a better way for us to be introduced to our first wedding in Tyler,Wedding Reception Video CharDans Villa Resort, Tyler Texas, Lake Palestine Texas than at this gorgeous summer afternoon lakeside ceremony. Jacey and Jason are such a great couple and their love and creativity was visible throughout the ceremony as we looked around. On one side of the ceremony the seats were old church benches painted white, while the other was theater seating! Rich with antique elements, set against an afternoon sky at the CharDans Villa Resort on Lake Palestine, this event left us anxious to do another project out there. The reception was even more evident in its uniqueness with every single chair or couch in the place mismatched without a partner. This truly was a one-of-a-kind wedding!

Kindred Oaks: Texas Hill Country Wedding Venue

Outdoor Wedding Venue: Kindred Oaks

Forever Photography Studios

The thing I love most about Kindred Oaks is not just that it has space for both the wedding ceremony and the reception with a little bed & breakfast attached for a bride-groom overnight stay, but the people who run it. Located in Georgetown in the Texas Hill Country, southern hospitality has never been so prevalent in the whole wedding process as it was demonstrated here. The 11-acre wooded grounds are beautiful, the large pavilion just got a stunning Brazilian Ash wood floor makeover, and the gazebo in the back just got all new elegant chandeleirs. The people who run this place really know what they are doing. The husband and wife duo have 25 years of experience though the place has only been open for 8 (She was a wedding photographer and he ran a chain of nurseries so they know the little nuances that can really set a wedding apart).

Texas Hill Country reception venue: Kindred OaksIn fact, because the weddings here are primarily outdoor, though they’ve only had rain on 5% of their weddings, they have a backup plan, or “Plan B” as they like to call it, so that you never have to cross your fingers and just hope for beautiful weather. They only allow one wedding per day so that the wedding party has all day to relax and hold their event without the added time constraints of regular venues, and they accommodate every season with fans for the summer and early fall, roll down glass walls and space heaters for the winter and early spring, and a fire place for the weather in between so you and your guests can appreciate the beauty of the Hill Country around you without being exposed to the ever changing Texas weather.

As a frequent guest of weddings, one of the most memorable aspects of the occasion is the ceremony location. For those wishing for an intimate, indoor wedding, the Smith Family Chapel in Austin, Texas is one of the most beautiful I have found. It has a capacity of an approximated 350 guests and services a variety of religious ceremonies from Hindu to Lutheran to Quaker weddings. A part of the Riverbend church on Capital of Texas Highway in Austin, the medium-sized chapel is a wedding favorite. That having been said, make sure that if this is the place for you, you book ahead of time: the church requires a reservation 18 months in advance and you must speak with the wedding coordinator, Bren Puryear, in order to confirm everything! The church provides a liaison between the wedding party and the event department, which all but guarantees the event will both run smoothly and be stunningly beautiful. With it’s tall tower, limestone walls and beautiful stained glass windows, this venue is magical and is sure to make your wedding ceremony truly memorable.
