Wonderful find!

We have only positive things to say about the Pines of Alvarado. There was ample parking. With the gazebo, two pergolas and multiple blooming plants, the approach to the building was very attractive. It was 99 degrees when we arrived at the venue, but the room was cool and comfortable. The catering kitchen worked well (our caterer loved it) and included a freezer, which was really nice since we served ice cream for our groom's treat. The kitchen also worked very well as our bar, with a convenient place to put a large frozen margarita machine. We loved having the ability to provide our own alcohol and appreciated the Pines providing the (required) security officers. We did put one row of pipe and drape up so bar goers didn't see the catering work going on behind the drape. The room was large enough to seat 130 guests for a dinner buffet - with adequate space to move about. There was also room for multiple "specialty" tables and a dance floor. There are giant barn doors that were perfect for entrance of the wedding party, as well as for the sparkler send off. A large window at the far end of the building let in ample natural lighting. The building was spotless every time we were there and they had ample tables, chairs, and cloths to meet our needs. The building is rustic in design, but became really pretty with minimal decorations - especially once the strings lights were turned on. Kylie was great to work with. She was flexible, responsive and attentive. Her knowledge and suggestions (when solicited) were invaluable. We are so glad we found the Pines of Alvarado. It was definitely worth the short drive from the metroplex.

Prettiest venue ever

We had our wedding at this venue, our guests loved the decor and they were taking pictures all over the place. Kylie was super helpful and professional from the beginning all the way to the end, she accommodated all our requests and is very responsive. We have a furbaby and they are pet friendly so our dog was able to be part of our wedding.
We highly recommend this venue, even the price was super reasonable and we shopped around for a minute and this was definitely the best option in town.

Best day ever!

We don’t even know where to begin with how fabulous The Pines was for our wedding! It was an absolute dream! Kylie and her team were so easy to work with and communicate with and they helped us to create the best day of our lives!

Not only did Kylie and her team keep a constant open line of communication with us, but she also answered any and all questions our coordinator had as well! We discussed the reception layout at our finalization meeting and when we arrived to the venue it was exactly set and ready for us to decorate! The packages they offer are such a game changer too, they help take some of the stress of the day away and allow you to fully soak up this special time!

The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the bridal suite was every girls dream, and even the guys had a comfortable groom suite to hang out in and watch football! I would highly recommend this hidden gem to literally anyone looking to have a wedding in the DFW area! Thank you again to the Pines for facilitating the best day of our lives!

Exceptional service and amazing value

The Pines of Alvarado is a true gem! The staff was incredibly easy to work with and professional. The venue is stunning with a perfect rustic, chic vibe. Exactly what our daughter wanted for her special day. There are only two public restroom stalls which could be a challenge for a very large group, but it was fine for our medium sized crowd. There is an outside ceremony area and a cocktail area that both are wonderful spots for an outdoor ceremony. Due to the extreme Texas heat, we choose an indoor ceremony in front of the large barn doors and it turned out wonderful. So many of our guest commented on how great it was. I highly recommend this beautiful venue and would definitely use them again if the need arises.
