This venue was gorgeous and I have been telling everyone about it since being there. There was room to accommodate everything needed for our event.

Say YES to Plano NRC!

The staff here are incredible. I was lucky to work alongside them for a clients big day. Savannah helped show vendors where to go when they arrived, ensured everything was set up according to our clients vision, and even gave us a hand during clean up. A lot of venues I have been to are hands off but the experience here was totally opposite. I look forward to my next event here!

Micro Wedding

Amazing and beautiful outdoor venue for our wedding. We had to readjust our big wedding plans due to COVID and this was such a perfect venue option to celebrate outdoors with our family and close friends. The venue has the option for outdoor and indoor space and we utilized every inch of it. Our ceremony was outdoors on the lawn with the lake in the background at sunset. The pergola outside was a beautiful setting for a long farm style table setting for our reception. The venue employees were so helpful and really stepped up to make our day as special as possible. Micro Weddings are the new normal and I would highly recommend Oak Point Nature & Retreat Center.

Perfect Setting for Special Occasions

The Oak Point Park Nature & Retreat Center provided the best venue for my son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner. Janna Glass's kindness and consideration in helping us plan the perfect evening for the wedding party was exceptional! Thank you.

Wedding 10-17-20

I had trouble finding a venue due to the pandemic that is going on. Either prices were to high or the my date was not available. I contacted Jana and scheduled a tour and everything was PERFECT. My date was booked but she made so calls and I had a spot for my wedding within 24hrs. Savannah was also amazing she was there to help set up the wedding, sound check, helped during the wedding and so much more. Everything was a breeze did not have any issues at ALL I would recommend this venue to anyone for any event. Thank you guys for making my day wonderful. 🥰

Oak Point Nature Center - Great Value!

For our wedding, we exhaustively searched for a venue with the perfect environment: beautiful, comfortable and affordable. Oak Point Park Nature and Retreat Center had not even opened when a family member told us about it.

From our first contact with Oak Point Staff, we were treated like family. Immediately after our first tour we knew this was “our” place, not only because the venue was beautiful, but also because the staff was so accommodating.

After signing the contract, the staff availed themselves to us, answering our many questions and even offering suggestions. With their input, we determined best placement for our serving line, disc jockey, dance floor and drink station. They assured a facility manager available for set up as well as during the event; they also assisted us in hiring an off-duty police officer.

Our evening was magical! This was largely due to the incredible setting and the amazing staff. The price of the venue provided the ultimate value. Other venues we considered were priced far above what we were charged for a nicer place.

We fondly look back on our perfect night at the perfect location. We’re even considering another event at this location because of our great experience.

Thanks to all who helped us make this a night to remember and to the City of Plano for building fabulous facilities and hiring amazing people to run them!
