    Beautiful!

    Working with the team at The Orchard was so nice! They made it so easy to design our dream wedding by providing such a beautiful venue. Shaina was great at answering my questions and everyone was so kind! For everything they provide and the natural beauty of the property, I felt like this venue was a steal!

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Hi Mikayla! Thank you so much for the kind words, and review! Our goal is for every bride to have her vision come to life, and I was so thankful to be a part of yours. We wish you and Victor a lifetime of love, happiness, and wonderful memories of your special day at The Orchard. - Shaina

    The Best Venue in DFW

    I was so impressed with this venue as soon as we entered through the gates. This beautiful venue is tucked behind sprawling pecan trees, and surrounded by open fields which create the perfect backdrop for the pond. There are multiple ceremony and reception spaces on site, as well as a catering kitchen and an ICE MACHINE!! The venue provided so many extras that made our day special. The staff was very easy to work with and everyone was helpful, especially on the day of the wedding. If I were to have my wedding over again, there is no doubt I would pick The Orchard.

    Beautiful location and hospitable staff

    The Orchard is by far the most magical venue you can dream of having on your special day at. From the first time you step on their property you can feel the hospitality this place has to offer. Shaina Davis and their staff are spectacular in every way possible and they will make your special day run according to every detail you plan to make. You will have no regrets having your wedding day here!

    It’s a hidden gem

    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 was wonderful! We had an amazing experience and Lacey was the most helpful. Let’s not forget that there are beautiful cabins and the lodge on property to make the party last!

    In the midst of a Pandemic - Paradise

    The Orchard is beautiful with several different places to choice for a wedding ceremony. Has a large groom & bridal areas, as well as, large kitchen & bar area. However, the best thing about the Orchard was the staff. Their communication even through the COVID changes was superb. Our time in the venue was 12 noon to 12 midnight for our 6PM wedding. No hidden cost or surprises. Kevin with the Orchard was at the venue the whole time. He stayed out of sight, but must of been watching things closely. Because every time something was needed. He appeared and took care of it. Thanks to the outstanding place & staff. Made it a dream wedding.

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Thank you so much Melissa for this great review! You taking the time to share your experience means so much to us and really helps future couples & their families in making that big decision on a venue for their special day. We wish all the best to Hannah & Michael!!!

    Getting married at The Orchard was a dream!

    My husband and I fell in love with this venue when we first toured it. Kristi was so helpful and answered any of the (million) questions I had. Kevin worked behind the scenes to make sure we had everything we needed. The grounds are stunning, the cabins are perfect, and as a bonus they offer tons of beautiful decoration options. I am so happy we booked our wedding at the Orchard. I want to relive it over and over again!

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Heather,

    Amazing!

    The orchard event venue and retreat is the perfect venue!! It was absolutely stunning!! Not only that but Ashley at the venue has got to be the most kindhearted and helpful people that I encountered throughout my wedding journey!!! Day or night she was there to answer her phone and help with questions or concerns, she payed close attention to detail and then went above and beyond to help us make our wedding absolutely perfect!!! Kevin was there the day of the wedding and was so helpful with our setup and made sure we had everything we needed from start to finish. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience and would recommend this venue to everyone!! Thank you Ashley and Kevin you made our special day truly perfect!!

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Ashley, thank you so much for your sweet words & this great review! You are an absolute doll, beautiful inside & out! We loved every second of working with you.

    Beautiful venue with even better staff :)

    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 :)

    Loved our experience!

    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)

    The Orchard

    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.

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Thank you Brandi so much for this sweet review of The Orchard and our staff. We absolutely loved getting to work with you & are honored that we got to be a part of your best day ever! Cheers to your Happily Ever after!!!🤍💍

    The best place to get married!!

    My wife immediately fell in love with this place. It’s literally the best place to get married! They support same sex marriages and did not treat us any different. The venue is beautiful all around. The cabins and lodge were also a hit to our family and friends and it was all so convenient. Kristi was amazing from the beginning to the very end! Every question was answered timely and professionally. All of their staff made our day perfect too. Kevin and the bartenders were just as amazing! We will definitely be lodge guests in the future!!

    Covid-19 Wedding at The Orchard

    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!

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Emily, thank you so very much for this great review! We are so glad that you and Brett chose The Orchard to be the venue for your most special day. We know COVID threw a lot of obstacles your way & we are so happy that it didn't stop you from having the wedding of your dreams! Cheers to your Happily Ever-After, Love The Orchard Team!

    Couldn’t have been better!

    I can not say enough good things about The Orchard! The staff was more than helpful and informative, especially while planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic. There were no hidden fees or surprises. The whole property is gorgeous. Having The Lodge and the cabins made it so convenient for getting ready day of and having all of our family and wedding party stay on site. I can not thank the staff enough for making the weekend go as perfectly as possible.

    Lewallen wedding

    This Venue is Absolutely gorgeous!! On my wedding day the temp reached 107 degrees before the ceremony started and The Orchard made sure everything was perfect and comfortable for the wedding party and guests. I had the pleasure to work with Heidi as my wedding coordinator, she went above and beyond for us and made everything so much easier. We did a wedding package that included all the vendors. All of my vendors were amazing.

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Thank you Kourtney, you are such a sweet fun bride and it was great to work with you! We are so glad that you loved all of the vendors in the One Stop Shop Package we put together for you, they are all pretty amazing! We also agree, Heidi is the best!

    Our wedding was a dream!

    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!

    The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:

    Wow, Jesse!🥰 Thank you SO MUCH for this incredible endorsement of The Orchard & our team!💖 Thank you so much for choosing our venue for this once in a lifetime day! Getting to work with you was a pleasure every step of the way. Amazing Brides like you make our jobs so fun & rewarding. We are so very happy for you & Taylor!!! Cheers to your Happily Ever After!!!

    10/10 would definitely recommend

    We had our wedding on 7.31.20 at The Orchard and it was absolutely perfect! The venue is beautiful and the staff is professional and amazing to work with! Kristi helped me through the planning process and would answer any questions I had almost immediately. My wedding was originally March 27, 2020 but this was right when Texas shut down and Kristi was right there to help me figure out a new date without hesitation which I am very thankful for! The day of our wedding Kevin was there to help us out whenever we needed which was very helpful.
    We rented the lodge for two nights for our rehearsal dinner and for the night of the wedding. It was the perfect place to relax with our family and friends. Our wedding party stayed at the lodge while some of our family stayed in the cabins all of which is on the same property as the venue.
    Overall The Orchard was the perfect choice for my husband and I.

    Perfect for wedding day!

    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!!

    Thank you so much Megan for the great review! Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous and we are so excited for you and Austin!!! You, your family and friends were such nice, genuine people and we really loved getting to work with you all. Cheers to the newlyweds!

    The Best Venue

    Firstly it’s one of the most beautiful places in this part of Texas, our pictures were all gorgeous! Second, the Lodge and Cabins are SO conscientious and so beautiful. It was great because we had family traveling from both sides, so this way the whole wedding party was there the night before and super close by! Also they are so clean and updated! Third, Kristi was my point of co tact, and she was PERFECT! She was helpful, giving inside scoops, and was accessible and kind. Also the other staff was just as kind and helpful!! All in all it was a perfect day and the Orchard team made my ENTIRE process as easy as possible. Please get married here. You won’t ever regret it.

    Gorgeous Venue

    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.
