About this venue

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!

Exquisitely beautiful

The venue it self was a dream, but the team behind it were fairies. They truly made your vision into reality. So grateful to have found this beautiful gem! It makes every bride feel beautiful and proud to what they have accomplished and be ecstatic about the future. What a great place to seal your vows for lifetime.

So beautiful!

This is the most beautiful venue in DFW! When we toured, I fell in love immediately and am so happy I found The Hillside Estate! My favorite space is the bridal suite.. it’s so light and spacious.
The planning process was smooth and I hired a few vendors from the vendor list. They were all great and the venue team was always responsive and helpful. If you are in search of a venue, I definitely recommend Hillside!

Highly recommend The Hillside Estate to anyone. Great experience with the staff and it is one of the most beautiful venues in DFW.

As the father of the bride for a recent wedding here, I could not have been happier with the venue, staff and service at The Hillside Estate. I found them creative, insightful, an open to offering various options for different budget items. Their professionalism was helpful in making for a stress free ceremony and reception. My recommendation would be to use the vendors from their preferred list. All vendors, (florist, band, caterer, bar, and photographer) used at my daughter's ceremony and reception were from the owner's recommendations. All were superb! It was a special, delightful night and we found it helpful to let the professionals do their job and not worry about it. The Hillside Estate did not disappoint and I would recommend this venue to everyone.

Truly exceptional venue!

We had our daughter's wedding at The Hillside Estate in July of 2021, hosting over 250 guests. The staff and venue are absolutely wonderful! The staff is professional and helpful. The venue is impressive with its design and amenities, along with being impeccably clean. This place truly has a spirit of excellence, it was the perfect venue for our daughter's wedding.

The Hillside Estate - Best DFW Wedding Venue

My name is Shane and I am the FOB. Where do I start. Selecting the wedding venue is probably the biggest decision you and your daughter will make during the planning process. When we first toured The Hillside Estate (THE) it was still under construction and required a little leap of faith. Now that our daughter's dream wedding is over, I can simply say The Hillside Estate was the best decision we made. Brittany and her team were perfect in every way. The venue was perfect in every way and quite simply provided the perfect backdrop for our daughter's dream wedding. My daughter has dreamed of her wedding since she was a little girl and The Hillside Estate brought her dreams to a reality with its elegance and timeless beauty. As a result, I will always look back on my daughter's special day and remember with vivid detail the role The Hillside Estate played in making my daughter's dream a reality. Thank you Brittany and THE! Words cannot express my level of gratitude.

Best venue in dallas!

I got married last month and all I have to say is this is the BEST venue in Dallas! We originally toured with the owner last fall before the venue was officially open and immediately fell in love.. it is just so beautiful and she took the time to answer our questions and walk through every detail to really help us envision what our day could be!

Once we booked, we received a guide that was so helpful as it had ideas, vendors, questions, and anything we really needed to plan our wedding. They also have an event every month that we attended a few times where you get to meet vendors and taste food and cocktails (the best drinks ever), which was great for us to be able to see what we wanted to include for our drinks. We just really loved that we didn't sign a contract and then were forgotten about as I have had a lot of friends experience.

I have been in so many weddings (9 this year already) so having mine was a really big deal for me! I was extremely picky when deciding on a venue and after knowing all that I know now from my friends and family, we hands down made the best decision ever when picking hillside! Matt and I have both seen and been a part of weddings where the venue is unresponsive and not helpful at all, but we had the opposite experience as they were quick to respond, so helpful before and during wedding day and then always considerate of our needs/wants. Matt and I would recommend hillside to absolutely anyone and everyone! You will have the best wedding day!

Stunning Venue

The Hillside Estate is an absolutely stunning venue. From the outside to the inside the venue is the perfect place for a wedding. We booked the venue before the construction was complete, and the final turnout far surpassed any expectations that we had. One of the main reasons we chose this venue was because we were able to have the ceremony and reception at the same location. Our guests could not stop talking about the beautiful chapel and ballroom. The outside courtyard area was perfect for the firework show. Brittney and her staff made sure all of our questions were answered and that we were taken care of every step of the way. We chose many vendors from Hillside Estate’s recommended list and loved all of them. If you’re looking for a venue that will wow your guests and provide gorgeous locations for your wedding photos, this is the venue for you!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
