Perfect Rainy Day Wedding!

This venue was not only adorable and intimate, but it was extremely accommodating for our hectic, rainy day NYE wedding. The staff was so nice and helpful; they were easy to contact and worked to make sure every detail was set in place. This was the perfect venue for our close-knit wedding ceremony!

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.
