About

Summerfield at Tate Farms is a rustic wedding venue in Rockwall, Texas. First established in 1962, this working ranch has plenty of pastoral charm for you and your guests to enjoy. The grounds feature over 700 acres of private land, giving couples plenty of backdrop options for their ceremony and reception.

Facilities and Capacity

Tate Farms is one of the last family-owned working ranches in Rockwall County, raising everything from chickens to horses on the lush grounds. The team soon began hosting celebrations as a way to share the beauty of the farm with others. Multiple event spaces are present onsite, hosting elopements and lavish receptions alike. Couples are welcome to host their ceremony in the historic Smirl Chapel, which was first built in 1898 and carefully moved to the ranch. Inside features the original wooden walls and stained glass windows, adding a visually stunning touch to your vows. For an outdoor ceremony, couples can place their arch near the two metal silos and large budding tree for a one-of-a-kind view. After you say "I do," you can make your way to The Party Barn, which offers both indoor and outdoor settings for a versatile experience. String lights, wooden farm tables, and wagon wheel chandeliers decorate the barn, covering your celebration in a warm, welcoming glow. Also present is a spacious patio dance floor for you and your guests to enjoy the music. The venue is 35 minutes from downtown Dallas, giving couples a secluded, private atmosphere while still being near enough to the city. Parking is available onsite, with wheelchair accessibility to help everyone arrive at the venue safely.

Absolutely perfect!

I grew up around horses in stables and the like and my fiance loves historical architecture and old traditional places, so we were looking for a place that fit us both. We were in love with Tate Farms and the chapel they are renovating the moment we saw them. The historic chapel and the rustic charm were everything wanted. Melissa was wonderful and helped with making our vision a reality. It was everything we dreamed it would be! Thank you for everything, Melissa!! Our wedding was wonderful and the whole day was perfect.

I loved everything about this venue. Melissa is exceptional! She helped me and answered any and all questions I had throughout my planning process. She made sure that everything was set up and ready to go. She meet with me whenever I needed her and was always just a text or phone call away. The staff did everything we were told they would and even helped with things we didn't expect them to. If your looking for a beautiful ranch wedding I would highly recommend them. Go check out this beautiful venue and make sure to catch the beautiful sunset's out there. Thank you for everything again!!
