About this venue

Bella Woods is a barn wedding venue based in Midlothian, Texas. This family-owned property has been welcoming happy couples for years. Brimming with rustic elegance, this venue is perfect for couples who desire a countryside celebration. Committed to bringing your dream wedding to life, the staff can’t wait to see you say “I do” in the way you have always envisaged.

Facilities and Capacities

Home to a pair of delightful locations, Bella Woods can comfortably receive up to 300 of your nearest and dearest. At the Bella site, the charming Sky Chapel is a wonderful place to host your ceremony. An intimate setting that evokes a sense of nostalgia, the chapel is accented by two painted trees for you to admire as you walk down the aisle. Antique entry doors and pews provide a vintage feel along with other decorative elements from the 19th century. The Bella Barn is ideal for receptions, a rural-meets-refined space defined by its Texan architecture. Creamy tones, a palatial ballroom, a crystal chandelier, and a courtyard area that can double as a ceremony location are a few of its features. The Woods site offers a completely different feel for your wedding. Its Chandler Chapel can host up to 200 guests. The option of holding your ceremony outside the chapel is also available. A historic facility with an industrial-modern feel, the Taylor Barn can set the scene for dining and dancing.

Services Offered

Bella Woods has a number of services available for your big day. The venue offers various event rentals so you can transform your event space into the wedding you've been dreaming of. Owing to their open vendor policy, you have the freedom to bring in your own choice of entertainers, caterers, and photographers. Items including altars, arches, centerpieces, drapery, and other decor can be provided. Additional services consist of access to get-ready rooms, event set-up and clean-up, and planning assistance. As well as hosting weddings, this venue welcomes photography and videography sessions.

A magical place!

Bella Woods is an absolute gift! The location is stunning — two sites with a chapel and a reception hall each. I was married at the Bella site, which is spacious and elegant. Every person raved about how beautiful it was. The option to rent your decor and centerpieces was amazing and so handy not to have to separately buy, put up, or take down on your own!! Unfortunately the decor manager was frustratingly disorganized. But the rest of the staff was world class and fell all over themselves to be helpful. I can’t think of a more perfect place to have a wedding.

Highly recommend bella woods!

GORGEOUS! We were kinda discouraged about finding a wedding venue after looking at multiple sites and not having what we wanted or being too pricey. We found Bella Woods and just said we would give it a shot. As soon as we left the tour we knew and booked the venue that week! The venue was absolutely perfect and everything we wanted. Darrel is wonderful to work with. They have 2 sites on the property; we were in the Bella Site. The chapel and reception area were amazing. You bring in your own catering and alcohol. They have a décor closet that you can choose from (priced per piece) and they had it all ready before the day started! The day was perfect and I did not want it to end. Highly recommend this venue!

Wonderful Setting

As Father of the Bride, I wanted to make sure the setting was beautiful for my daughter and her husband. Bella Woods is family owned and operated, which adds that personal touch and care you look for on your wedding day. Their flexibility within reason is something you cannot find at a corporate-like venue. Our daughter and son-in-law's orginal wedding date was back in April, but due to Covid-19, we had to reschedule the date to August. Bella Woods was very easy to work with in making the changes to the new date, unlike some of the unfortunate stories we had read of other places. The atmosphere was a thing of beauty, as our guests commented on how beautiful the place looked. I would highly recommend Bella Woods as a place to amaze your guests and bring a matching atmosphere of beauty to the bride and groom. Thank you for the shoes Darrel and Kim... I received compliments, a story to tell, and I didnt even realize how popular they were!!

The venue of my dreams

Wow where to start with Bella Woods!
From the moment I got off the phone with Mr. May to set up a walk through of the venue I knew that they would be different from the other 4 venues I visited. When we first got to the venue I was blown away by how beautiful the chapel was. When you first look at their pricing you think it’s a bit pricey but believe me, no other venue will care about your wedding like this family did. They went above and beyond to make sure that it was exactly how I pictured it. I did my floral and decor through Mrs. May and I cannot thank her enough. She saved the day when my garlands didn’t come in in time. When I walked into the venue I wanted to cry at how beautiful she made sure it was. That is what sets them apart from any other venue..not only is their venue layout just perfect, the amount of genuine interest they have in making your day over the top is amazing.
I didn’t have to think twice about where I wanted my wedding To be after visiting this venue.
Thank you Bella Woods for such an amazing experience. Our wedding was a dream come true.

Picturesque!

“Picturesque!” Is how my guest described my wedding on 10.5.19
We booked over a year and a half ago knowing that October is a popular month. The May family has been available for us since that moment! Darell May is seriously a phone call away, always!
We were so blessed to have Kim May do our decor and floral! No one else could have pulled off such a gorgeous task! She truly has a gift! Her humbleness is paired with graceful talent and she makes the most challenging job look like a breeze! I asked so much of her and she would take it on with a smile! She made sure it was what I wanted down to every detail and not just what she had done before. She made my dreams come to life and I will forever be grateful!
They have a warehouse behind the venue which is packed with a plethora of options to decorate vintage/modern/rustic you name it! If they don’t have it they know who does. They are filled with knowledge and are more than willing to share their wedding wisdom!
Even without any decor this place is gorgeous! The chapel holds so much character! It has imported oversized antique doors and all white interior with a ton of natural light! The brides room is well lit with plenty of mirrors and comfortable seating. I had five bridesmaids, my mom, four kids, hair and makeup in there with no problem! The grooms room has a pool table and leather couches! Both rooms have plenty of hooks for dresses and suits as well! The reception barn is full of breathtaking chandeliers, dangling crystals outline the dance floor overhead that have the ability to change colors, and everywhere you turn there is eye catching character!
The location is close to the highway for easy access but tucked away in trees for a secluded feel. The venue and the May family could not be more perfect! They are some of the most genuine people you will ever meet!
You will be in great hands when picking Bella Woods!

Awesome place!

We toured Bella Woods yesterday and knew right away we would be getting married there! Both sites were beautiful and well thought out. From the bride and groom rooms to the available upstairs loft for cocktail hour, the property was built and designed for a purpose - to get MARRIED! Every question I had for the 12 other venues I went to were answered within minutes of stepping foot on the property. We are so excited to start a life together at Bella Woods
