Clark Gardens is a park overflowing with garden areas for a couple’s wedding in the greater Dallas, Texas region. This whimsical and elegant venue has abundant fountains and flowers, as well as pavilions and even a wedding chapel where couples can marry. This venue is located nine minutes from the Lone Star Amphitheater, approximately 75 minutes from downtown Dallas.

Facilities and Capacity
Couples can invite up to 300 guests to their wedding at Clark Gardens. This garden park, stretched out over 35 acres, offers 10 venues for couples’ weddings. The Bowling Green lawn is a classic outdoor grassy space. It is the perfect venue for an outdoor ceremony, with chairs set up right on the grass. A fragrant rose arbor borders this lawn, offering privacy and additional beauty. The Channel Garden is another beautiful garden space. This area features a reflecting pool with a magnificent fountain and tiered walkways. This paved area also includes cherub statues, flowers and shrubbery. It has two covered pavilions for ceremonies, cocktail hours or small receptions. The Chapel is a classic and elegant structure of sandstone, with colorful stained glass windows to let in natural light. Though it is a traditionally designed venue with pews and heavy wooden doors, the Chapel features central heating and air for a couple’s wedding, as well as a sound system. The Chapel Lawn is the perfect space for couples who want the tradition of a wedding chapel with the breezy freedom of the outdoors. This lawn features green grass and a red dirt aisle lined by bricks leading to a garden supported by a retaining wall of gorgeous stone. The East Tent is a permanently tented structure overlooking the Channel Garden. This elegant space is one of the most popular reception locations on the property. It features sides that can be open or closed, and interchangeable light fixtures. The Rose Pavilion is a romantic open-top pavilion and lawn space, perfect for ceremonies or receptions. Like the East Tent, the West Tent is a permanent structure on the grounds of this park, with similar amenities for more intimate wedding receptions. It sits among the iris and rose beds. Sitting in the middle of a lake fed by four waterfalls, couples will find The Lake Pavilion. This cedar facility can be reached by wooden bridge, and features white tables and chairs for a reception or cocktail hour. Oxbow Overlook sits on the banks of Oxbow Lake and is a lighted pavilion supported by rough natural wooden columns.

Absolutely Amazing!

This venue has everything to offer. When we started looking at venues we wanted something that wasn't like other venues and offered versatility and a bonus would be a reception tent. This venue had everything and more! There are numerous ceremony locations and the tent has a versatile and customizable floor plan for the reception. The trees, flowers, and plants are absolutely breathtaking at any time during the year, creating endless photo ops. Our wedding was 9/6/24 and it had been raining a lot so everything was so pretty and green. We received many compliments from our guests that it was the prettiest wedding venue they had been to, not to mention, the guests got some cute pictures themselves! After everything was set up it started pouring and the venue staff moved everything inside, squeegeed the water out of the tent, and set everything back up. One item was accidentally broken and they were gracious enough to cover the cost. They went above and beyond to help, especially, Crystal, make sure that everything went as smoothly as possible.
I truly wish I could do it all over again!

Most Beautiful Venue for Our Perfect Day!

From the moment we walked into Clark Gardens we knew it was the perfect location for the most beautiful wedding. The gardens, the lawns, the scenery is all immaculate and the east tent is the perfect party tent! The price was reasonable, Molly was an awesome contact and host. 10/10 recommend.

Dream come true wedding

My wedding turned out amazingly beautiful. Stephanie and Kailey were so great to work with! My only complaint is that the public were still able to enter and walk around my half of the gardens that I spent quite a bit of money on. It was just kinda weird taking pictures and looking up to random people walking around all of my things.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
