About
The Black Oak formerly known as Cedar Canyon is situated among cedars and hardwoods on a hill in the middle of a 200-acre Wildlife Preserve in Sulphur Springs, Texas, which is about 50 miles east of Rockwall. Breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife, and a lovely drive through the woods and over a bridge provide an authentic rustic and country experience. Boasting a 3400 sq. ft. Banquet Hall with dimmable lighting, spruce trusses and cathedral ceilings, wood and masonry walls, and wood flooring, a spectacular 53 ft. glass wall and french doors that open out onto a covered porch, gas log fireplace, and grassed yard right up into the woods. The Overlook, a decked and railed platform over the canyon, is the perfect setting for your outdoor wedding ceremony. Custom lighting in the trees and landscaping creates a moon glow over the entire property, putting the finishing touch on The Black Oak’s magical and enchanted atmosphere.

Reviews of Cedar Canyon Events
Professional Network & Endorsements

We've delivered and served multiple times at this venue. It is always the perfect temperature both at delivery and time of serving. In Northeast Texas, this is important and very valued! The staff is amazing and works with us for smooth transition from caterers serving to my team serving cake. We look forward to working with Mandy and Jennifer at every event!
