This is a bed-and-breakfast cluster in downtown Denton, Texas. We had a gazebo wedding outside. Our wedding package included wedding planning, setup and cleanup, and a stay in the honeymoon suite of our choice (we chose the Magnolia Suite). Donna made planning our ceremony easy and virtually painless. :) She strives to help take the stress out of your wedding planning, and in our case, she delivered. Not that it was stress-free--it's a wedding, after all--but, as my mother put it, "She was worth every dollar we spent!" She's great. Oh, and they only have one wedding per weekend, so you won't have to worry about being rushed or getting pushed out hurriedly.

Another good thing: You can have both your ceremony and your reception here (though they're catered by the Italian restaurant on the bottom floor of one of the inns, so that's actually a separate service and thus a separate review). We chose to do this so that our guests wouldn't have to drive to another location after the ceremony. However, it's not required. You could just have your ceremony at the inn and hold the reception elsewhere.

The only drawbacks that I can think of were very minor. First, the inns are on a one-way street, so your guests can't turn around so easily if they miss it. Worse yet, they could go the wrong way down the street when they leave. This actually happened during my reception--not to one of my guests, but someone dining at the restaurant--and this caused an accident. It was pretty minor. They had just forgotten it was a one-way street.

Secondly, this venue is a bed-and-breakfast, so there will most likely be guests staying there during your wedding. I wasn't really bothered by that, but someone else might be. However, you could just reserve all the rooms. Donna holds all of them for your wedding guests up until a certain deadline, after which she then allows other customers to reserve any remaining rooms. Most of our guest chose to stay elsewhere, so the other rooms in the inn were rented out during our wedding. Like I said, this was really not a problem. The only time we saw them was at breakfast the next morning (which, I have to add, was outstanding).

All in all, I think this was a great place to have our wedding and spend our first night together as a married couple. In fact, we are planning to stay there again for our 1-year anniversary.
