Farmers Branch 1890s Church

We rented the 1890s Church and the grounds for our wedding day. It was perfect. Kim was AMAZING and made everything so easy. My girls and I got ready in the Dodson house - climate controlled, tons of space, and only a short walk to the church!

Great experience

This Historic Park in Farmers Branch TX was perfect for our small wedding ceremony. Kim Chapman, the park coordinator, was great at replying to our messages and accommodating to our needs. Definitely recommend.

Best Place to Get Married

We absolutely loved getting married at Farmer's Branch Historical Park. We were married in the historic church by our pastor, and had an outdoor reception in the meadow. The Dodson house worked perfectly for getting ready and for our cocktail hour. They even offered touring two buildings during cocktail hour for guests who wanted to see more of the park. Kim, the manager, is very responsive and accommodating and help to make our wedding planning process a million times easier. There's an industrial kitchen that we use for flowers and for the cake before the wedding which came in really handy. Another convenient thing is because the historic church is not affiliated with a larger church you can play any music you want. Anyone looking for either a garden or church ceremony with an intimate reception indoors or larger tented reception should absolutely consider Farmers Branch Historical Park! I can't imagine getting married anywhere else.

Update: I found out later from family why we were being rushed out before our time was up. The person working that day had the wrong time we were supposed to leave by an hour. My family didn't tell me that day because I was the bride. Just double check with them and your family/planner the end time. It caused a ton of stress and we were rushed out and still had to pay for that 30 min after we left. I would have never changed where we got married, but I would have given my family the contract to be able to push back when we were being rushed out incorrectly.

A Wonderful Hidden Gem

This venue had everything we hoped for. Beautiful outdoors grounds, a lovely chapel and reception hall on site. It was quaint and lovely, perfect for our small wedding. The venue coordinator answered all my questions, even a few last minute ones the week of. Lovely place, so glad we found it.

Perfect wedding venue for a perfect wedding ❤️

Kim was amazing to work with. The intimate wedding was beautiful (at the 1890's church). They were very accommodating and helpful, the venue(s) and park were clean, beautiful, and very picturesque. Everything our bride needed and wanted for her special day. Would highly recommend!

Best Little Wedding Chapel in DFW

If you’re looking to get married in a chapel, then Farmers Branch Historical Park is the place! My daughter got married in the 1890’s church with a reception in the Dodson House. Everything was beautiful and Kim was a pleasure to work with. She was so helpful during the pandemic to make sure my daughter got the wedding she dreamed of. If you want an outdoor wedding the park has several beautiful locations that would work including a gazebo, rose garden, large trees. And best of all, it was very affordable.
