Beautiful venue, amazing staff

I can't say enough about Melissa Barn! The venue is gorgeous just on its own, making decorating so easy. They also have a ton of rustic decor in storage onsite which saved us money on decor expenses. We also liked that the venue is run by father-son. We liked being able to directly talk with them throughout the planning process rather than go through several people to get our questions answered. They were flexible, easy to get a hold of, and respond quickly. Wedding planning can be stressful, but working with MB was truly the easiest part. Thank you so much for giving us such a memorable day, Darrell and Nate!

Avgerenos / Orioli Wedding

This is a wonderful venue for a smaller wedding of 100 or less. The owners are wonderful to work with and very responsive to special needs. The venue is beautiful and has some very special touches to the layout of the building. The phot opportunities are amazing. We had the wedding on Friday and also got the attached home to use for the wedding party. A wonderful value. The new groomsmen quarters are beautiful. We felt very lucky to find such a wonderful venue in Collin County.

Perfect Venue!

I had my wedding at the Melissa Barn this past weekend and it was perfect! We had to change our wedding plans and original venue 45 days before our planned date due to COVID-19 and I'm so happy we found the Melissa Barn. They made the process so easy and were very accommodating to help make our dream wedding happen. The venue is beautiful and the owner, Darrell, and the venue manager, Hannah, were easy to work with and very helpful. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the barn and the ceremony site were. We also stayed in the house that is on the property with our bridal party. The house is beautiful, we loved sitting outside by the pool and having a BBQ the night before. Having the house on the property was perfect to get ready in the day of the wedding and made everything very convenient. Would definitely recommend the Melissa Barn for a stress free, intimate, beautiful wedding!

Wonderful Wedding

The Melissa Barn at HD Ranch was the PERFECT venue for my elopement! They say that it is the perfect combination of rustic, romantic, and relaxing - and that's EXACTLY what it is! We had an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception. When you walk in the venue, you immediately feel like you are right at home. The owners and the Venue Manager also do a fantastic job at making you feel welcome. I learned that the owner built the venue himself, and you can tell that he put great effort into making every single little detail perfect! Not only were the tables and chairs included in my Micro-Wedding package, but all the decor was included as well - I didn't have to spend a penny on decor! I loved being able to get ready in the Bridal Suite at the house, and my husband absolutely loved spending time in the hidden Grooms Quarters. We wouldn't change anything about our special day - it was absolutely perfect and stress free! I can't wait to go back to The Melissa Barn!

Best day ever

We had the most beautiful and amazing wedding day all thanks to HD Ranch! We can never thank Darrell enough for helping us make our special day absolutely perfect!! He was so easy to work with and accommodating to all of our needs. This brand new venue is GORGEOUS, inside and out! Our guest still talk about how beautiful the venue was. We loved that we got to have our dream outdoor wedding and indoor reception! Our added bonus was being able to have our out of town relatives lodge ON the wedding site! It was very convenient, clean, and cozy. We wanted our wedding to be as stress free as possible and it was just that! Being able to have the venue site for the whole weekend helped make everything go smoothly. We didn’t have to rush to clean or to get everything set up which was so nice to not have that extra worry! We were able to spend the whole weekend with our family all together creating so many special memories that we will hold dear to our hearts! As a bride, you dream of your wedding day and desire for every little detail to be perfect (especially if you’re picky like me). We truly couldn’t have been happier and definitely recommend HD Ranch for all of your wedding needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
