About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Cross Key Acres is a country wedding venue situated in Richmond, Texas. Perched on 15 acres of private land, this site allows couples and guests to escape the normalities of everyday life and celebrate in a naturalistic haven. Surrounded by fields, couples can enjoy the natural vistas and the backdrop of a classic traditional Texan house that dates back to 1894. Whether you envision an intimate ceremony or a barn-style reception under the moonlit sky, this site provides endless wedding possibilities.

Facilities and Capacity

The site’s picturesque outdoor events spaces have ample room for ceremonies and receptions of up to 250 guests. The vast lawn areas feature many natural wonders that make for incredible photo sessions and memorable celebrations. Amongst the lawn’s willow trees, couples can design a beautiful ceremony space including a floral arbor, white-washed chairs, and anything their heart desires. Depending on the weather and personal preference, a luxurious tented area can be placed on the lawn. A tented area is ideal for larger receptions that flow between open spaces and the covered area. Furthermore, the beautifully decorated Texan house may be used by couples and their wedding parties. Here, they can relax and get ready before the big moment arrives.

The staff at this venue also offer a variety of wedding packages to help make your planning a less stressful process.

Amazing venue and staff

We had a great experience with this beautiful venue!! Candace goes above and beyond. She communicates well and does way more for you than what you sign up for! My husband and I appreciate her and her staff so much. I cannot say enough good things about this venue to truly express how much I appreciate everything they did for us.

We experienced a rainy wedding day and despite all the last minute changes, our experience was nothing less than perfect thanks Candace and the venue staff!

Amazing Venue

As a military couple, we had to plan our wedding while being out of state. The moment we hopped on a videocall to tour the venue, Candace was amazing. This venue was exactly what we wanted, close to our family/friends, country feel (while close to the city), and Candace provided the flexibility to make the barn "ours". Working with her gave us peace of mind and it all turned out beautifully!
