Clark Gardens Reviews

Such a great venue! Loved everything about our experience and how easy it was to work with them!

From the moment we walked into Clark Gardens we knew it was the perfect location for the most beautiful wedding. The gardens, the lawns, the scenery is all immaculate and the east tent is the perfect party tent! The price was reasonable, Molly was an awesome contact and host. 10/10 recommend.

My sister was recently married at Clark Gardens. The venue is absolutely beautiful! I was the day of coordinator for the wedding and was very impressed with the staff. Molly was amazing to work with during the planning process. She and the rest of the staff were also so helpful on the wedding day, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful place to get married!

My wedding turned out amazingly beautiful. Stephanie and Kailey were so great to work with! My only complaint is that the public were still able to enter and walk around my half of the gardens that I spent quite a bit of money on. It was just kinda weird taking pictures and looking up to random people walking around all of my things.

My wedding, like so many others in 2020, was postponed due to COVID. My now-husband and I decided that regardless of our postponement we still wanted to have our own private ceremony and get married. So we started scrambling to find a venue and figure out our back-up plan. We found Clark Gardens and instantly fell in love, the venue is beyond beautiful and everyone was so nice and willing to work with us to create the perfect day for us. When our wedding ceremony was just a week away our hearts broke to see rain in the forecast for our day. Stephanie and her team were so flexible and willing to work with us through our millions of questions and scrambling to find a back-up plan for if it rained (we were planning on the White Garden). On the day of, the Clark Gardens team was so accommodating and set up both areas for us, our spot in White Gardens and our back-up plan in the East Tent. We were fortunate enough that there was not a single raindrop on the day and our ceremony at White Garden was BEYOND beautiful. It was the most beautiful venue and we would choose it over again every time!!!

We had such a great experience having our wedding at clark gardens, Stephanie was so friendly and helpful! The gardens are so beautiful it feel like a dream when you're there!

The setting is beautiful. The staff is helpful and accommodating. Through our planner, KC Cloud Events, we were able to make changes to the layout of the event in order to accommodate rain! We were very happy with our celebration.

Clark Gardens was more than I could've imagined for my venue. The worst thing about this place is that there are too many beautiful spots to choose from for your ceremony! I got married in front of the White Garden and had my reception at the East Tent, and it was straight out of a fairy tale. Stephanie was a delight to work with and I can't recommend this hidden gem enough.

We had the pleasure of having our elopement here at Clark Gardens because our big wedding plans were put on hold. Stephanie and Millie (not sure if that's spelled right, sorry!) were fantastic! Stephanie helped organize the when, where and how then Millie was there the day of the ceremony to help us with everything. The gardens are breath taking so the pictures we got gorgeous and will be cherished forever. We are now thinking of having our big wedding reception here next year!

Clark Garden is absolutely wonderful! Ansley and the team truly care about your special day! I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Clark Gardens help make my vision come to life. Our wedding was everything I could've dreamed of! Stephanie was great and answered any questions I had! The grounds were stunning and the staff were truly fantastic. I would highly recommend this Venue to anyone!

The most amazing experience I’ve had. I was so blessed to have been able to partner with Clark Gardens. So helpful so flexible so caring and kind. All the staff were so helpful to just stop everything and help and guide us through the experience. So grateful and blessed by God for these wonderful people.

Clark Gardens is a beautiful venue! The story of it's origin just adds to its beauty. We toured in February for a July wedding, and although not a lot was blooming it was still such an enchanting place. From the first step in you are greeted by a reflecting pool surrounded by flowers and trees and greenery. Travel through and you will see arbors and a chapel and fountains and ponds and lots and lots of flowers. It is a breathtaking place for an outdoor wedding. July is HOT in Texas, but the venue is well planted and shade was everywhere we would need it.

Ansley and her support team were wonderful and did not stop taking care of us from February to a week after the wedding. A thunderstorm came through just before cocktail hour (of course, right?!) and they sprung into action to soothe the bride, and the bride's mom! All that came out of that storm was some darling pictures with clear umbrellas provided by Clark Gardens.

I would completely recommend this venue, it gave us some beautiful memories that will last a lifetime!

Our experience at Clark Gardens was wonderful! The scenery was beautiful, definitely a place I would recommend!

Our daughter Elizabeth, was married 11-11-17 at Clark Gardens. We are more than elated for the professional guidance and help we received. Their staff and facilities were unforgettable, especially Ansley, the Director of Private Events and Stormi, her assistant, who made sure every concern was addressed. The weather changed and turned cold the morning of the wedding. We made an emergency request for some protective walls on the reception tent. They were installed by Ansley and staff just prior to the wedding. We saw only smiles and heard "we are here for you." Clark Gardens has a chapel, a beautiful home to rent for families, outdoor facilities including large tents and a gazebo with a waterfall. They also provide a preferred vendor list, including food, DJ, flowers and especially first class was the wedding coordinator, Lisa. All the vendors we used from this list were fantastic and professional. We have great memories from our Clark Garden's experience. They really took the stress out of the wedding preparations and we would highly recommend this beautiful hidden treasure!

Clark Gardens is a absolutely beautiful place to have a wedding. Ansley and the team at Clark Gardens are amazing! They are so kind, eager to help, and knowledgeable. They made the wedding planning process and day of so smooth and enjoyable. We cannot thank them enough for such a beautiful, special day!

I wouldn't have gotten married anywhere else! Not only are the gardens gorgeous, but the staff was extremely helpful in planning my amazing wedding day! Ansley and Jaci were both very sweet throughout the entire process! I don't think I would have made it through the day in one piece without Ansley and her crew! Thank y'all for such a great day and experience!

Clark Gardens was the Perfect venue for my wedding day! I pretty much planned the whole thing without fiance's help (which was fine, I am a planner and hes not!) but I did want his input so I asked him to describe what he imagined our wedding day being and he said "Magical and Romantic". Clark Gardens was the Perfect setting for this. I actually did bring him out to help me decide on the venue and we both fell in love with Clark Gardens. There was also the added humor of my maiden name being Clark... One last Hurrah for my maiden name haha

The whole day went super smoothly. I didn't hire a wedding planner, but Clark Gardens provides a day of coordinator to make sure the day runs smoothly. They tell the vendors where to set up and help make sure the ceremony is perfect (even coming out to the rehearsal to help you practice). There were times (before the wedding day) I wished I had hired a planner because all of the planning got super overwhelming and stressful... but when it came down to the day of, the coordinators really helped put me at ease!

Everything was pretty much set up when we arrived an hour and a half before the ceremony. They carted my guests to the ceremony location by golf cart and all of my guests really liked that :)

And the venue itself is just so gorgeous. I could go on and on about that, but if you go out there yourself you will see! I wish I could post photos! :) My photos are so gorgeous and of course the venue is a big part of that!

Also, if worried about weather... they have an onsite adorable chapel in case of rain and a huge permanent tent that's cemented in (not the type that would Ever blow away) for the reception. I cannot tell you how much peace that gave me in the weeks leading up to the wedding... I hardly even checked the weather because I knew we'd be covered either way! I cannot say enough about how amazing Clark Gardens is.

This venue is beautiful and the staff was amazing to work with! I highly recommend you choosing this beautiful place to get married!

Loved this venue. Couldn't of asked for a better place and people to work with. Chelsea was amazing!
I was worried about getting the large deposit back with all kids I had at my wedding, but there was no need to worry!!

Great venue! Everything was beautiful.

We are new Texans from California and our only daughter wanted a beautiful October garden wedding on a lake for her setting. We selected the Lake Pavilion at Clark Gardens where I had previously visited for the National Iris Convention held last April 2013. Settings at Clark Gardens reminded me of Giverny, France. My daughter upon her visit agreed and we both feel it is actually much more lovely than the Monet home in Giverny where Monet's water lily pictures were painted. There are several arched bridges over lily ponds with waterfalls at Clark Gardens. Swans, Canada Geese can be seen gliding through the water. Peacocks visited during our wedding and reception, making for a lovely wedding setting.

All wedding guests were impressed with the Clark Gardens staff who helped them get to/from our venue as well as assistance for the wedding party's rehearsal and wedding preparations and reception

Our wedding and reception went smoothly because of the wonderful facilities and Clark Gardens staff.

Thank you, Chelsea, Elizabeth and staff!

We had an absolutely magical wedding day at Clark Gardens. With Texas facing one of the worst droughts on record, I couldn't believe how lush and stunning the gardens were for our wedding day. To make it extra perfect, the staff even replanted and ordered thousands of extra flowers for our specific area of the gardens at no additional cost. They also updated and replaced the chandeliers in our reception tent the day before the wedding, also at no additional cost.

The wedding party stayed at the Retreat at Clark Gardens (the guest house on the property), which provided an absolutely calm and serene place to gather during the wedding weekend. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated the whole time.

When I needed an internet connection to post to my wedding blog the night before the wedding, the event coordinator picked me up and drove me to her office so I could use her computer. Talk about amazing customer service!

The staff at Clark Gardens went way above and beyond all of our expectations. It is a little far out from the metroplex, but absolutely worth the drive, 100%. I would recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful garden wedding.

Melissa, the coordinator, was amazing to work with! She was very helpful and made the night run so smoothly. The venue was beautiful and the all the guests commented how it was the best place to hold a wedding!
