About

Marble floors gleam beneath ornate ceilings while a grand staircase descends into a ballroom modeled on European palaces. As a premier Dallas wedding venue in Hickory Creek, Texas, The Olana is a 40-acre European estate inspired by the Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte in Paris.

Set across 40 acres of manicured gardens, The Olana is the breathtaking Dallas mansion venue that dreams are made of. Ceremony options range from the sprawling great lawn to the rear garden and an intimate second-floor space. Cocktail hour can move to the grand terrace, the elegant drawing room, or the two-story wood-accented library. The grand ballroom, with marble floors, ornate ceilings, and crystal chandeliers, hosts up to 250 guests, and amenities include a Chanel-inspired dressing suite, a tea room modeled on Tavern on the Green, an indoor pool, and a private theater.

Your celebration is carried by spacious getting ready suites, dog-friendly ceremony spaces so pets can share the day, flexible vendor packages built around a curated wedding experience, and white glove planning services that manage every detail. Endless photo backdrops across the gardens and grounds round out the estate. Packages are also available with flexible add-ons for catering, bar service, entertainment, florals, and more.

The Chanel-inspired dressing suite sets the tone as your party prepares, while a second suite offers a bowling alley and basketball court. Vows begin on the great lawn, with pristine gardens and marble framing every step. Cocktail hour unfolds on the terrace or in the two-story library, with guests wandering to the tea room along the way. Then the ballroom reception opens on marble floors, crystal chandeliers casting a golden glow.

The Olana has been honored as a 2-time winner of Wedding Wire's Couples' Choice Award, most recently in 2024. For more than 20 years, this team has brought artistry and precision to every wedding. Backed by 80+ reviews from couples across the Dallas area, The Olana has earned its standing among the region's finest estates.

A Fairytale Experience!

Our wedding day at the Olana was absolutely magical! The venue was the most beautiful place I could have ever imagined getting married and each part of our day was amazing. We had so many guests brag to us about the food, venue, and overall experience. We worked with Catherine throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding, and she truly made our experience amazing! She walked through the planning process with us and made me feel so at ease through each step. She was available to answer questions whenever I had them and accommodated any request that I had, no matter how small or silly! On the day of our wedding, Catherine and the rest of the Olana team were there to make sure everything went perfectly and made it their mission to ensure everything was exactly as we envisioned it. Catherine was truly a game changer for our entire wedding experience and I am SO thankful for her! I recommend the Olana (and Catherine) to anyone looking for a fairytale wedding!

My Planner Melissa Austin Is Incredible

I just had my second to last meeting with my Wedding Planer Melissa, she has been my key to an stress-free and incredibly planned out Wedding. Because of her, I have not been stressed out about my Wedding at all! Her expertise leaves me feeling ready and excited! I couldn’t ask for a more perfect Wedding Planner!

Adorable little place

This place is not only your wedding venue. This is a place that will welcome you with open arms and remember you for years to come!

Macie is my favorites at The Olana! She is quite literally a pro! I have never had more fun interacting with an individual in my life, she is not afraid to welcome you with a big smile and a kind heart! We loved our tour and love seeing you at all of The Olana events.

Edit/Addition:
The planning process has been such a breeze! everyone on the team has been so pleasant and have been able to help us with all of our needs from the vision on the floral's to the insights and timelines for how the day is going to go.

Before we got really deep into the planning for our wedding Catherine encouraged us to go to all The Olana showcases to we can start sparking ideas for the wedding, This was the best advice we received. we got to see all of the vendors in action and take time to try out the foods they had to offer!

Such an amazing venue! and we appreciate them so much! Just a few short months to go and I couldn't be more excited!

Smooth planning and stunning venue

Our planning process with The Olana has been smooth and well-organized. Our venue coordinator, Catherine Peck, has been consistently helpful and responsive, making sure all our questions are answered and guiding us through the details. She has shown a commitment to ensuring our day is special that leaves us even more excited after each meeting. We’ve appreciated the team’s professionalism and the ease with which they’ve helped us navigate the planning stages. The venue itself is beautiful, and knowing we have a supportive team behind us gives us confidence that our wedding day will be just as we envisioned. We would recommend The Olana for anyone looking for a well-managed and stunning venue for their big day.

Perfect Venue

Our daughter's wedding is being held at The Olana in October. From the first visit, our daughter, Peyton, knew this was her dream venue. We looked at a few other locations but none had the grand feel that The Olana does. As the MOB, I was looking for the "easy button" of planning and Catherine and others with Walters have made this a reality. The vendors they utilize are great to work with. We look forward to an amazing event in October at this beautiful venue. Angela Montgomery
