The Grand Ivory Reviews

This Venue was a dream! From the individual groom and bridal cottages to the removable windows on the chapel, just stunning.

The Grand Ivory speaks for itself with its stunning white beauty! You barely need to decorate it because it is a show stopper! Exactly what I wanted for my bright wedding!

The Grand Ivory is just the most magical place! Plus Parker & Ashley are beyond kind and truly care about their couples and the venue! My husband and I originally planned our wedding for April but had to postpone due to Corona. Tatum, the event coordinator, was extremely helpful and patient with us as we navigated postponing to August. The people behind The Grand Ivory are amazing to work with, and have built a beautiful venue, I immediately knew as I entered the gates for my venue tour that this was THE spot I was going to marry my best friend!

My husband and I keep saying that one of our favorite parts of our wedding day was the venue and it will forever be true! It is truly the most stunning, romantic venue. From the bridal/grooms cottage, to the separate chapel and reception space, getting married here was a dream and the team was so great to work with! Especially during COVID, they made us feel confident and comfortable the whole time!

The Grand Ivory was everything and more that I could’ve wanted in a venue! I loved the beautiful white walls and all of the natural light. Staff was super friendly and accommodating! It was the dream backdrop of my dream day!

Great to work with and stunning location. My daughter found The Grand Ivory on line and would not consider any other venue! Very pleased with service and everything was perfect!

The Grand Ivory is worth the drive to the venue. The open air chapel, outdoor patio and string lights, and reception space are unlike anything in the DFW Metroplex. We are so happy to say we were married at The Grand Ivory. Beautiful!

The Grand Ivory was literally the most PERFECT location for our wedding. I always dreamed of having a wedding backdrop like this, I mean it’s literally out of a pinterest board. There are a lot of white barn wedding venues in the DFW area but I think what really sold my (now) husband and I was the separate chapel overlooking a gorgeous lake (it was also covered and could be adjusted for weather changes). We liked and really valued the idea of having two separate areas where we could actually host the ceremony as our vendors worked to complete setting up the barn for our reception simultaneously. The biggest perk was also getting the venue for the whole day where as many venues require you to pay unreasonable prices for additional hours and try to host 2 weddings per day if possible. We loved the adorable separate groom and bride cottages that are on the property as well. They are gorgeously decorated, extremely spacious and literally dreamy to get ready in. I would say the only negative thing about our whole experience was the fact that some sort of party was going on across the lake where they were playing extremely LOUD music which was audible to guests throughout the whole entire ceremony. I felt that communication through email was pretty prompt, however, there was an instance where I had some urgent questions and could not find a number listed anywhere on their website or any of the emails we have exchanged, which was a little stressful. Overall, we truly LOVED this venue and would recommend to anyone & everyone!

This venue is an absolute dream! From the first time I toured it, I fell in love and knew right away that this was where I wanted to get married at. The property itself is immaculate. You have the arches where you can get some incredible pictures at, the barn where you can host the reception, the open-air chapel for the ceremony, and the bride and groom cottages where you can get ready at. For the day of, there is even a golf cart that is used to shuttle guests from the parking area to the chapel. Parker and Jessica were the gems, they really helped make my wedding so perfect and I will forever be grateful for them.

I do wish they offered a point of contact or a phone number from the get-go. I had to communicate via email until even after I booked the venue and had to ask for a point of contact or a phone number. Furthermore, we did not receive adequate rehearsal time. Since our wedding was on a Saturday, our rehearsal time was supposed to be that preceding Friday. When I reached out to the Grand Ivory to get my rehearsal time booked for Friday, they let me know that they had booked a wedding for that Friday. I’m still confused why they failed to email or call me as soon as that happened. Their solution was to have my rehearsal during that week, either Wednesday or Thursday. Unfortunately, every single person of my wedding party (except for two) did not live in DFW and the ones that did had work so that was not even plausible. After some haggling via email, Parker was able to give me 20 minutes the morning of the wedding for my rehearsal. I am so thankful that he did that for me, BUT, management has to think of a better solution.

At the end of the day, I got to marry my best friend at the most beautiful venue and thats all that matters!

Tatum is quick to respond to emails leading up to the events, but on day of our wedding she was not friendly & seemed bothered when we wanted the sides down at the chapel due to wind. The "cleaning" lady at end of the evening shared that we had to haul our trash bags away, which they did not provide bags. Recommendation- make sure someone has a pick-up truck to take garbage away.
The venue & scenery is gorgeous but lacks friendly, helpful people on the big day.

The Grand Ivory was absolutely the most perfect venue to get married at. The entire property is beautiful and incredibly charming. My bridesmaids and I loved getting ready in the bridal cottage, with it’s perfect lighting and adorable photo ops. The chapel was so so sweet and made for an awesome backdrop. I was more in love with it than I was when I first saw it! Everything from the barn to the stone arches made The Grand Ivory the ideal spot for our big day! Except for some slow communication from the venue coordinator and an unfortunately strict 12 hour policy, the venue was worth it and all of my guests were raving!
