Wedding rehearsal event (45 guests) hosted at the Heard Craig Center in December 2024.

The Heard Craig Carriage House was perfect for our wedding rehearsal event. There were plenty of tables, chairs and place settings available for our event. We were able to arrange getting in early the day before to decorate. Dr. Karen was amazing answering all of our questions and she was most responsive to our needs. Our celebration was simply fabulous, and we were very happy with the location, rental cost and staff. I would highly recommend this quaint, downtown Mckinney location for a shower or rehearsal event.

The ladies at the Heard Craig Hall were wonderful, very polite and flexible, answered all of our questions quickly with all the details we would need. The venue was perfect and when everything was set up it was beautiful, and the best part we got twice as many hours for less then what everyone in the area wanted to charge! Thank you ladies my day was perfect!
