The staff at Aristide made our wedding planning so easy! Through this venue we were able to book packages that included vendors for our bakery, dj, stationary needs (invitations and signs), flowers, and even a luxury car exit! Each vendor reached out personally to us and helped make our visions come to life. Sydnee took care of us as our event coordinator and was so accommodating the entire time. She helped with all of our questions and was always quick with responding to our emails or text messages.
Our day of coordinator, Kiana helped make the day run so smoothly which we really appreciated. As I was getting ready, I didn’t have to worry about any of the vendors, decorations, or timing because of how well organized she was and it brought so much relief on a day that is usually hectic.
Lastly, but certainly not least, our DJ Aiden was really the star of the show for us and our guests! We got paired up with Aiden through the venue because of his vibe and he provided such a great energy! We got to have a meeting with him about specific songs we wanted and cues and he nailed everything we were looking for from my entrance into the ceremony to the very last song with our guests. He got everyone on the dance floor, it was never empty the entire night. We can’t thank this amazing staff enough!! -

Gigi Sent on 08/18/2024Beautiful Venue
When I started to look for a venue, this venue came first in my mind because I attended a wedding there. So, when I called Calla Hamlin responded and was at my services 100%. She was punctual at our appointment, responded to emails and was so professional. Though we ended with a different venue, we appreciate her services. -

Holly Sent on 11/07/2023Great, easy wedding planning experience
I would highly recommend Walter Weddings plan your event/wedding! We get married in a couple weeks and the process has been so stress-free. We picked this venue because of the All-Inclusive packaging offers and not having to shop around for all our vendors and have been so happy with the services included. Emily our wedding planner has been absolutely FABULOUS, helping me navigate all the decisions from start to finish. All the vendors we used through them (florals, bakery, catering, Suits, photography) have been very easy to work with and I’m really excited to see the finished product in a few weeks. Would highly recommend booking with Walter Weddings if you want an easy wedding planning process! -

Serenity Sent on 07/10/2023Everyone said it was the best wedding they've been to
I just had my wedding this past Saturday and it was wonderful. The staff at the venue were all so wonderful and nice. My planner was Amber and my day of coordinators were Kiana and Josh. They were all very professional, kind, understanding, flexible and accommodating. I've gotten a lot of positive feedback from all my guests and they all said it was the best wedding they've been to. The food was delicious as well and everything was happy. I got the open bar and buffet menu for about 225 guests and it was very affordable and reasonable compared to many other venues I've seen in the DFW metroplex. I would recommend this venue to all. It is a one stop shop and it really made me less stressed than many bride friends I've seen in my adult life. -

Dillon Sent on 03/29/2023AMAZING experience
We have shot for this venue many times now and we love it! As a Wedding photographer in the DFW area we look for a few things when deciding if we want to shoot at a venue. We look for great lighting, colors, and most importantly great staff! The staff at the venue are amazing. This helps your day go smoothly and makes for smiles not frowns. If you are in need of a photographer hit us up on the knot ( That's Amore Photography & Video) or on our website WWW.thatsamorephotography.net -

Could not have dreamed of a more perfect wedding! The venue was so beautiful, great food and drinks. Could not have pieced everything together without the help of Gaby, the manager/ wedding coordinator! She was so helpful and detailed to ensure the day went without hiccups. I am so happy with how everything turned out and thankful to have chosen Aristide Mckinney for our special day. -

The chapel is filled with lots of natural lighting and beautiful chandeliers. There are two receptions areas, both equally beautiful. The venue overlooks a golf course, so rather indoor or outdoor your pictures will all have beautiful backgrounds.
Gabi was an angel during the wedding planning process. Having a wedding during Covid was extremely stressful, but she worked diligently to help in every way that she could.
If you’re looking for a venue in McKinney, you can’t go wrong here. -

Nina Sent on 10/16/2019Beautifully executed my vision
I booked Aristide McKinney when it was formerly Piazza on the Green. I was a little worried about the transition, but my coordinator Donna assured me that my wedding would be just as I envisioned. She and Aristide McKinney delivered on their promise. She was very professional, attentive, and organized leading up to my big day. Donna (and Shelly) worked great with all my vendors to make sure everyone was on time and everything in place the day of. My guests are still talking about my beautiful wedding, weeks later. It was perfect, filled with love and beauty! -

A Complete Dream
Our Wedding was on 9/15/19. It was truly a very beautiful wedding and special day for us. But the day is still be spoken about from our guests. Everyone stated it was the best wedding they have ever attended. It was beautiful, organized, and really fun.
Kelly Scott and staff was the best addition to our day. They cared about every detail and catered to us and our guests both professionally and they were genuinely sweet.
Our bartenders were beyond our expectations. The drinks were amazing.
The food was delicious and the display of it was wonderful.
As a bride, I had worked really hard for a smooth flowing ceremony and reception. With the hard and care shown I was able to just be a bride. And for that I could not ask for more.
Thank you again Kelly, Adam, and the entire crew that made our day the most memorable and adored wedding!!! -

Our DREAM venue!!
If seeing photos of this venue doesn't sell you, seeing it in person will!
I attended one of their open houses and was so impressed with how organized and helpful that was! The staff was knowledgeable, the vendors there raved about working at that site, and it was even more gorgeous than the photos had captured! The bride and groom suite are spacious, there are plenty of bathrooms for the guests, the chapel is breathtaking (look at those chandeliers!!), and the ballrooms are classic yet allow for so much customization!
Once we booked the venue, we continued to be impressed! Working with Debbie and our wedding planner was easy and accommodating-even though we had to go through the management change and name change from Piazza to Aristide! Debbie was responsive and answered all of our questions. On the day of, she worked alongside our planner to ensure nothing was missed and everything went off as expected and on schedule. She was a joy to our families and friends and made sure our day was our dream!
When we had our tasting, the scheduling was the easy part...choosing from their HUGE menu and all the delicious options was the tough part! Plus the fact that they allow you to customize the dishes, it was the BEST menu!!! Debbie was present during the tasting and carefully listened to our reactions and thoughts on every item we tasted. The chef came out and introduced himself at the end of the tasting and discussed with us our thoughts, our changes, and helped us decide with what would be in season how to perfectly curate our offerings!
The rehearsal went off without a hitch, as Debbie was organized and ready to help lead it and answered the many questions of everyone there.
On the wedding day, the venue was perfectly groomed outside and cleaned inside. Aristide worked with our planner and all our vendors to ensure everything was setup on time and correctly. The food and drink tasted identical to our tasting, with all the expectations being met! 7 months later we are still receiving compliments on the food and how the steak was one of the best steaks people have had-anywhere!!
This venue is photogenic, easy to work with, and sets the perfect base for your dream day to grow from! -

Mallorie Sent on 06/09/2026I wish I could go back and have my wedding somewhere else.
My wedding was in May 2026. The venue itself is beautiful. The staff and vendors were horrible. The planning process was so stressful and I cried a lot through it. I felt very uncared for and there was definitely a communication problem. A lot of things are revealed after you sign the contract. For example, you don’t get to keep any leftover food from the buffet YOU pay for. Instead, the staff served the smallest portion possible to my guests and then took all the leftovers for themselves. The security guard carried of bags full of our food at the end of the night. The lighting I paid for was forgot about until the very end of the morning got. The DJ “forgot” to do my bouquet and garder toss so we lost that experience. Some of my guests complained about rude staff. For example, my father in law is a double amputee and asked for a glass of water and was told to walk to the bathroom fountain for water. The photographer ruined my husband seeing me when we did our first touch, he turned the camera around and showed him the pic of me standing behind him. My dress experience was a nightmare. The tux they sent my husband was stained up. I was told that my things would be in the exit vehicle by the coordinator, but when I got to my hotel I find out that I don’t have my cell phone, purse, wallet, ID, or my change of clothes for our after party. Basically I felt like the bare minimum was given by them the whole time. I thought my wedding planning would be fun but it actually caused me some depression. I forgot to mention Kait forgot about my wedding rehearsal so I had to have it the morning of the wedding! If I could go back, I would not of had my wedding here. Not worth the money and the experience left me feeling regretful. I messaged Kait, my wedding coordinator to let her know of all the disasters that happened when she left my reception and never even got a reply. That shows how much I was cared for.
Update: management replied to my google review saying they would call me that day. 2 days later and no call of course.
