The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat Reviews

If I could paint a picture of a dream wedding venue, it would undoubtedly resemble The Orchard. From the moment we set foot on its grounds when we started planning, we knew it was where our love story would unfold into forever!!

Booking all the cabins for our cherished family and friends was just the beginning of what would become an unforgettable weekend. The Lodge, where the wedding party stayed, became our sanctuary, a place where nerves turned into laughter and anticipation. We had our Rehearsal Dinner, wedding day, and Sunday Brunch all on property and it was exactly what we wanted plus more!

But what truly sets The Orchard apart isn't just its picturesque setting or amazing accommodations; it's the remarkable team behind it all. From our first inquiry to the final farewell, they weren't just event coordinators—they were family orchestrators.

Their warmth and genuine care transformed mere logistics into heartfelt connections. Their unwavering support and attention to detail made every step of the planning process a joy.

Communication was seamless, like we were never more than a heartbeat away from any question or concern. They anticipated our needs before we even knew them ourselves, ensuring that our focus remained where it should be: on each other and the love we were celebrating.

As we exchanged vows under the beautiful oak trees, we felt not just the presence of loved ones, but of The Orchard team standing with us, their dedication to making our weekend one we, and everyone else will never forget.

To the team at The Orchard, Shaina, we owe a debt of gratitude that words alone cannot express. You didn't just host our wedding; you became an integral part of it, infusing every moment with your passion and professionalism.

Our hearts overflow with thanks for the memories you helped create, for the seamless execution of our dreams, and for the lifelong bonds that were forged at The Orchard.

Forever grateful,
Grayson and Madison Sterrett

My husband and I got married back in March. We fell in love when we first walked in for our visit at the Orchard. We knew immediately that it was our dream wedding place. It was such a BEAUTIFUL venue. They have almost everything you need to plan your dream wedding, from natural scenery to decors to beautiful cabins that you stay after an exciting celebration. Kristi was so helpful in guiding us with all the different vendors and her recommendations we needed to make everything seamless. All the staffs were amazing and so helpful during our big day. Our wedding was just as we imagined it all to be. It was so PERFECT! Most of our guests were amazed with the place and they said, “it’s a hidden gem.” We’re so grateful that god brought us to the Orchard.

The Orchard absolutely blew my expectations out of the water. I had a lot of requests and they worked with every single one of them. Their venue was clean and beautiful. Their staff is SO kind and helpful. And they are so great about responding and being accessible for you and your needs. I am beyond happy with my experience working with them! Thank you for making my day so beautiful.
(String lights in reception were mine, but they kindly let me hang them up)

We couldn't have imagined a better place to get married at!! Everyone with the venue was so helpful! We worked with Kristi most of the time and she was so quick to answer any questions we had! We also used Heidi as our Day of Coordinator and that was one of the best decisions we made! This is by far the best venue in the DFW area!! HIGHLY recommend :)

If you haven't looked into The Orchard, you're missing out! The atmosphere is perfect for any type of wedding. This vendor has so many additional amenities that come with the rental, plus monthly specials including many upgrades, such as "ceiling swag" (which is absolutely breathtaking), cafe lights, outdoor lounge furniture, a portable bar for cocktail hour, etc. Everyone that we hired through the venue (bartenders, security officer, Photo Booth) was extremely professional and exceeded our expectations in all ways. The Orchard provided us with the best service, and all personnel were so helpful in any way possible. We had a couple of questions come up on the day of the wedding, and Ashley was there to fix and solve everything within minutes. Kristi is also amazing, and was our main contact person throughout planning. I, genuinely, believe that having this venue provided such a great atmosphere for our wedding, and would pick this place over and over again.

We loved our wedding at the Orchard. Kristi and Kevin were so helpful and responded to our questions with great expedience! We had a "Covid wedding" here, which changed a lot about our wedding that was out of their control. The Orchard was flexible and helpful during this time. High points: The Orchard is an older venue and thus very good at what they do - they've seen it all, gorgeous property, several different ceremony options so that you don't have to do a room change, can accommodate all sizes of weddings, cabins on site for guests nervous about driving at night/after the wedding. Other Covid brides should know: We had several guests who stated they would not come unless the chairs were "socially distanced from one another." The Orchard's policy on this was that they would set out 30% more chairs so that people could socially distance themselves, but if we wanted the chairs socially distanced, we would have to do it ourselves. This was clearly communicated ahead of time, so there were no surprises when we showed up on the wedding day with the chairs exactly as the venue had communicated they would be. It wasn't ideal for my parents to be socially distancing chairs on the morning of the wedding when they should have been relaxing, but again, this was communicated ahead of time, so we knew it was coming. For brides getting married in a rainy season: Be aware that mosquitoes are a problem and prepare accordingly. Overall, we are so glad we had our wedding at The Orchard, and we will cherish our wedding day, Covid or not, for the rest of our days!

I literally do not have the words to explain how grateful we are to have chosen The Orchard as our venue. Even with planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic, Ashley, Kristi, Kevin, Lacey and the Owners were complete angels! We were originally suppose to get married on May 9th, 2020. At the end of March we decided to postpone to August 14th, 2020 (the hottest day of the year!) Even when everything else was so unsure, The Orchard made sure we would still have our perfect day regardless of the date we chose. Our Family rented the cabins and lodge for Thursday (rehearsal dinner) and for Friday (our wedding). This was such a game charger because we had everything and everyone right there. Since our big day our family and friends have done nothing but rave and praise how great our wedding was. This couldn't have been accomplished with out The Orchard and their team! I wish i could give the venue a million stars! Thank you so much for making our dream become reality!

This venue did everything possible to make sure our wedding day was beautiful and perfect! Kristi was my go-to person throughout my engagement, and she answered any question I had and did so very quickly. There is a lodge and cabins on site that made lodging super easy for us and for guests. We stayed there two nights leading up to the wedding and the wedding night, and it made everything so much less stressful. I felt like we could enjoy all of the wedding festivities stress-free. We had our wedding in the middle of the pandemic, and they were still extremely flexible with any of our requests. They genuinely want the very best for each bride and groom. There are no negative things to say about this venue! Would definitely recommend The Orchard to anyone!!

I couldn’t have picked a more beautiful venue for my wedding day! Every guest raved about how beautiful the venue was and Ashley and all other staff at the Orchard were always so accommodating and helpful even when I needed to add some things on the day of. The venue provides many amenities and options that many others don’t, it was truly the best value and greatest decision we made because of how naturally beautiful the location is.

I’m not sure where to start- there are so many great things about this place! There was always someone to answer my emails or calls when we had questions. They have lots of options for the ceremony- it can be outside, inside, on the patio. The grounds and building are so pretty themselves you do not feel like you have to decorate too much. The staff is great and they work hard to make sure your day goes smoothly. They have a lot of in house rentals at a fair price so deciding on the finishing touches was really easy. There is a lot already included with the rental price as well. There is only one wedding per day and the rental included more than enough time for everything. My family also rented the lodge and made a weekend of it- it was so much fun!

Ashley and Kristi are amazing!
They were always so sweet.
All the questions and issues that arose they helped me take care of them. The venue was absolutely prefect for us!
They even came down a couple time while I was setting up and getting dressed just to check on us.
I really couldn’t have picked a better place and better people to have our wedding at!
They both our considered family to us
Thank you lady’s y’all are awesome
We love you!!

The Orchard itself is absolutely gorgeous. They have 3 options for ceremony location depending on the weather and personal preference which is awesome. They have an outdoor, outdoor covered, and indoor option and each one is beautiful. The venue includes so much decoration that you will need minimal rentals if any. The staff is fantastic and so helpful. They truly care about you and your wedding day. I can't wait for my wedding day.

I love the staff at The Orchard! They are very flexible with tours! We’ve been up several times (with no issue) to bring MOH and MIL as well as to do our engagement photos ! They also honor military which is HUGE! Kristi is WONDERFUL

The cabins and lodge will be so convenient for our out of town guests. And the venue comes with several amazing amenities!

We have not had our wedding yet but I can’t wait for the day!

We had our dream wedding thanks to The Orchard! After looking at many, many venues, I knew that nothing could compare to the beauty of this site! Add in the amazing staff that answered every little question I had by phone call and email, and it really was the whole package! Even though they have more than one wedding throughout the weekend, you really feel like yours is the only one by how attentive they are. My family was able to stay at the lodge and my bridal party stayed at the cabins onsite which really made the weekend perfect. Wish we could do it all again!

They are super amazing. The morning of my wedding was cold so at the last minute they moved everything over to the patio with no complaints. Everyone was so nice and super accommodating. Could not have asked for a better location.

I absolutely loved this venue! It was super helpful to have accommodations on-site since we were from out of town. Their response time was quick and they were super kind and helpful in every way.

My daughter got married at the Orchard in January, and I cannot say enough positive things about the venue. We looked at many places before deciding on that location- and now that it is all done, we can't imagine that our experience elsewhere could have matched our event at the Orchard! They have beautiful buildings in a rustic area complete with nearby livestock and hay bales adding to the ambiance.

The weather cooperated so we were able to hold the ceremony outside on the covered patio area- but one of the great features they offer is the flexibility of environments to handle any weather condition. They have an outside gazebo area, an outside covered patio, and also a separate inside Pecan room if outside conditions are not nice. Between the time that we first visited and then the day of the wedding, they made some major improvements.

They built a beautiful groom's cabin, separate from the main structure, that has flat screen TV, pool table, shower and polished concrete floors. They also doubled the size of the bride's room with plenty of counter space and additional mirrors. I shoot wedding videos and have seen many prep rooms that are often very small, and sometimes don't have the best lighting- but the Orchard really has this aspect figured out. They also built a few very nice cabins on site as well. My daughter and bridesmaids stayed there overnight and it made their arrival the next day much easier.

The ceremony and reception were perfect- all night we had many guests and family members telling us how wonderful everything was. We opted not to use the wedding coordinator option- and that is probably our only regret. There were several transition moments between events that could have been smoother if we had someone who was in charge of all that. (instead of just mom and dad!)

The on-site manager Kevin was wonderful: from the first time we set foot in the building that morning until the end of the evening.

We loved having our wedding here! It went out without a hitch and was a beautiful venue! I have such great memories of this day.

Hedi and Deandra are amazing to work with and so helpful! The venue is stunning and perfect for a chic vintage wedding with a twist of county. They are very reasonable in pricing and have a ton of amenities! If you are a bride on a budget check them out! In their package you can get all your tables, decor, and much more included in the venue price. I have been recommending them to all my girlfriends getting married! Don't pass them up!!! GO CHECK OUT THE ORCHARD!!!!

This is the perfect outdoor venue, and indoor reception area. I fell in love the moment we looked at it, and it wasn't even complete yet. There slogan says it all, Country Elegance at its finest. I wanted that country outdoor rustic feeling, but far from a average country wedding. It was the perfect place for my wedding!! The staff was always quick to respond, and such a pleasure to work with.

I can not even begin to explain the sweetness, the hospitality, the professionalism(while still making you feel like you're the only important thing they're doing) that The Orchard and their entire staff shows you while working with them. From day one I had such a great feeling about the venue and having my wedding there. I had a horrible experience with the first venue we'd booked which resulted in them closing on us four months before our wedding. I stumbled onto The Orchards facebook and fell in love. They offer so many options to make your day amazing!! My family can not stop talking about how gorgeous my wedding was. Ive already talked to two of my friends and they have booked weddings there as well. God bless yall!!

Absolutely wonderful! We couldn't imagine having our big day at a better venue! We loved working with Heidi, she is a joy to be around. There is nothing we would change about our wedding! This venue is the best venue in DFW! 6 stars!

I got married at The Orchard in September. The venue was perfect and the team was amazing to work with. They answered all our questions and were so helpful throughout the planning process. Many of our guests commented on how fantastic the venue was. We rented the Lodge and Cabins and they were AMAZING! I would recommend booking The Orchard for any weddings or events!

The Orchard was our dream wedding venue!
The whole team was such a pleasure to work with and so accommodating to everything that we wanted/needed for our wedding day. Our family and friends loved staying on property at the lodge and cabins. It made for a weekend full of love and celebrating! The pavilion was a perfect spot for our barbecue rehearsal dinner that gave our guest the true Texas summer experience. The ceremony space was a picture perfect lush outdoor space and everything my husband and I dreamed of for our wedding day. The reception area was a perfect size for our 200 person guest count for everyone to dance all night! Shaina, Lacey, and the whole orchard team were so kind and helpful throughout wedding planning and made the whole experience stress free!
