The Hillside Estate is a French-style wedding venue located in Denton, Dallas. Situated on 16 acres of lush green hills, the venue boasts views of fiery sunsets. The luxury experience begins along the winding driveway as couples enter the secluded world of the estate. Enveloped in light and featuring fine furnishings throughout, the house stands tall with stately pillars and large windows. Cushioned by the surrounding gardens, The Hillside Estate produces a welcoming and romantic atmosphere well suited for couples beginning their life together.

Facilities and Capacity

The venue can accommodate up to 300 guests and boasts several event spaces for the ceremony and the reception. On the morning of the big day, couples and their wedding party can get ready and relax in the glamorous on-site suites. Fully outfitted with hanging hooks, plush textiles, and entertainment options, the suites are designed for comfort. The Chapel overlooks the garden through vaulted ceiling-high windows and is complete with chandeliers and intricate crown molding. This charming space opens onto a second ceremony venue called The Hillside for couples who prefer an outdoor setting. Once vows have concluded, newlyweds and their guests can proceed to the cocktail lounge for celebratory drinks and conversation. A double staircase and a large entryway add a striking element to the spacious parlor. Moving onto the reception, the Great Hall is a beautiful ballroom and features the same elegant ambiance circulating throughout the estate. Including a built-in bar and ample floor space, the hall grants access to an open-air courtyard starring string lights and a waterfall.

Services Offered

The Hillside Estate offers couples a comprehensive package and assistance with wedding planning throughout the process. Following a guided tour, couples can liaise with the estate concierge to arrange bar services and day-of security. Every package comes with a preferred list of vendors for to-be newlyweds to explore their catering, floral, and entertainment options. For added convenience, all tables, chairs, and linens are provided by the estate, along with full setup and teardown.

Best decision ever!

As a bride, you truly don’t know what you should until you’re going through the process and Hillside is the best venue in DFW now that I know what I know. They were so responsive, held fun events like open houses and tastings, kind and helpful by answering all sorts of questions each week that I would call in and really made sure my wedding was perfect on the wedding day. I can’t rave enough about my experience.. especially after both my brother and maid of honor were getting married around the same time at similar venues and seeing how different it was. If you are thinking of booking this venue, do it!

Top Tier Venue!

The Hillside Estate truly was my dream venue. I got married in October 2023 and after hiring my planners, venue was the second thing I secured and after seeing Hillside in person, nothing else really compared. The aesthetics of this venue is superior and very luxe. The Estate alone is just breath taking pulling up to it but when you see the inside of it, the logistics and details are what make it incredible. It is handicap friendly, tons of parking, the chapel and reception areas are just down the hall from each other so it’s easy for your guests. There’s a courtyard where you can have your wedding if you want or make it your cocktail hour area (which we did) and it made for such a great atmosphere for guests to enjoy. The reception area is massive alone and has doors leading out to the courtyard area if you choose to use that space during reception as well. As a bride, the bridal suite is everything you could ever want. So much natural lighting, massive room to get ready in, mirrors and outlets everywhere. I had 9 bridesmaids, 4 HMU people, twins for flower girls and myself and we were never cramped for space in that room. They have speakers built into the room so we could listen to music the entire time. The groom suite is the male equivalent but with entertainment, tv, pool tables and just a place for the guys to hang out. No complaints from the guys at all. Mama’s Medicine cocktails are their vendor that they will have you use for the bar and they are delicious. If you want a special drink that’s not on their menu, they’ll create it for you but with their spin on it, which was unique and turned out great. The Hillside team was amazing to work with, they are on top of their game and will make sure your morning and day goes by smoothly. Could not have asked for an exceptional venue for my dream wedding!
