    Our first tour

    My fiance and I visited Tdg this past Saturday and toured it with Teresa. The tour was really nice, and Teresa did such a wonderful job and answered any questions we had during the tour! Such a beautiful spot! We also went inside the butterfly room and that was pretty fun as well. I like that if you go with the evening package, there is so much space for everybody to enjoy!

    Wonderful!

    Texas Discovery Gardens and Two Sisters Catering or amazing on my special day. The venue facility is great because it has outside ceremony options plus the huge reception space inside. The floor to ceiling windows gift so much natural light. It’s also a blank space so you can make it what you want. The cost for the space was very affordable.

    The food is wonderful! Even from my first tasting, I was so pleased with how the food was prepared and served. Their staffing is wonderful and the price is fantastic as well!

    I would highly recommend the venue space and Two Sisters to anyone looking for a great space and caterer for their wedding or large party.

    Stylish Service with a Southern Flair

    Every time I get the pleasure of working with Teresa at the Texas Discovery Gardens, I am taken back by the hospitality, the beautiful set-up, and the outstanding effort by the staff.

    As a florist, I am able to work with a lot of venues and this one is one of my favorites! It is not only beautiful, but the way the clients are cared for by the staff is top notch. The icing on the cake is the wonderful food provided by Two Sisters. It is always a 4-D experience setting up fragrant florals while smelling the tasty food being prepared for the day, Especially while sipping on a spiced ice tea.

    It is always a treat to work at the Texas Discovery Gardens with Teresa and her crew! Can’t wait to be there again!

    A Hidden Gem

    Texas Discovery Gardens is always a favorite venue for our brides. As a planner, I love to suggest this beautiful hidden garden for the perfect outdoor/ indoor venue that has tons of flexibility and back up plans. It's so unique and special with the bride's house and butterfly garden. Combined with one of the best caterers in Dallas - Two Sisters and Theresa will make your day one to remember. Their food and service all around is unbeatable.

    A Night to Remember

    I can't say enough wonderful things about this venue and their event staffing! Both Abbey with TDG and Monica with Two Sisters worked closely with me to insure my daughter had an absolutely perfect day. They are so hands on and made sure to take care of whatever was needed so I could truly enjoy the day without worry. I couldn't be more pleased :-)

    Enjoyable, professional and on time!

    Teresa and team were amazing to work with throughout the entire process. I have planned events with her directly (Wedding and corporate) and there is such trust and understanding that I know all events will be handled professionally and beautifully. Teresa makes the planning process easy - especially when sending all the back and forth changes when it comes to finalizing details. She's more than happy to email, meet in person or jump on a call to walk through any questions and ensures day of runs smoothly for all vendors and clients!! She's the best and I know when I'm hired by clients and work with her - it's a guarantee success.

    "I cannot even begin to describe the amazing service at Texas discovery Gardens with Carron of Sugar City Sweets! My dream wedding was created in my budget and it was incredible. We got over the top customer service, so much attention and detail with our wedding and I was so pleased with everything. Carson listened to my ideas, my goals and my dreams for the feel of the wedding and then she went above and beyond to make it happen. I wasn't given a cookie cutter package with preset flowers and cake, I was given an amazing customized experience that removed the need for a huge list of vendors and we couldn't have loved it more. This was truly a one stop shop type of experience. I would definitely recommend them for weddings and I know I will most likely work with them for more events in the future too! I think this is the best kept wedding venue in Dallas!

    Texas Discovery Gardens is a hidden gem in Dallas - much like their event planners/coordinators! I could not have asked for a better wedding despite it POURING down rain all day prior to our outdoor ceremony. Carron, Tammy, and their team flawlessly executed my dream of a New Orleans style garden party (including the humidity! haha). They were gracious and supportive throughout the entire day despite the weather, and I couldn't be more grateful! It was just lovely!

    This place has it all! Several Beautiful outdoor ceremony locations in the gardens, as well as inside the magnificent butterfly house. The outdoor locations are incredibly well kept with blooming flowers, stone brides and green lawns. The grand outdoor fountains are very well kept and surrounded by incredible landscaping. Just perfect for a regal and elegant outdoor ceremony. The Grand Hall reception site has wonderful floor to ceiling windows that lets in extraordinary natural light and features the sweetest raised wooden dance floor. The reception site has a wonderful layout with lots of space that can really be tailored to you and your wedding visions. Our wedding guests loved how much there was to explore in the gardens and butterfly house and was perfect for a kid friendly event. In addition to the amazing venue site, Sugar City Sweets party coordinators are located onsite and are run by some of the sweetest people we have ever met! These ladies are extremely talented and made wedding planning and day of coordination so easy and smooth. They took our vision and made it a reality!

    Sugar City was great! I instantly fell in love with the venue and after speaking with Tammy and Carron I knew they would make our wedding day perfect. I was not sure of what I wanted in a wedding and Carron helped me come up with some great ideas. Sugar City coordinated my wedding, did all my flowers, and set up all my decorations. And I had a ton of decorations! I just gave Carron some ideas I had for flowers and she ran with it. The flowers were so beautiful and exactly what I wanted! Everything looked absolutely perfect! On the day of my wedding it was raining and Carron and Sonja came up with some ideas to keep guests busy until the rain stopped and we were able to have the wedding outside and it was beautiful. I loved that Carron customized everything to my needs and budget. I would give her my ideas and budget and she would come back with amazing options for me. I would highly recommend Sugar City Sweets! Everyone is so nice and they really took the stress out of planning our perfect wedding. Even on the day of the wedding while it was pouring rain Carron and Sonja were there to assure me that our wedding was going to be perfect and not to worry about a thing. I did not have to lift a finger on the day of our wedding…. Well only my ring finger. :)

    I had no idea what I wanted in a wedding, except that I wanted a beautiful garden ceremony. I looked at several garden venues, but none were that impressive and all were pricey. After a tour from Tammy with Sugar City and I knew Texas Discovery Gardens was the place! The grounds are huge, gorgeous greenery and flowers, and the butterfly house is a unique touch to a wedding! And the best part-you will be floored at how affordable it is!

    Sugar City works with TDG and set up the venue, provided flowers, decor, and wedding cake.

    The Cake - I highly encourage you to look on Facebook for the next Sugar City open house. I tried Carron's cake after going to several other tastings. My search was over! The cake is moist (sorry for that word), dense (in a good way), and the icing was amazing! We chose champagne and creme brulee, but you honestly can't go wrong. I already knew it was going to taste great, but I was so surprised when I saw it! It was absolutely stunning and our guests raved about how great it tasted!

    Flowers - I showed Carron some pictures from Pinterest, but was again surprised when her creations far surpassed what I had in mind! Seriously like something out of a magazine!

    Decor - The colors and style of the tablecloths/napkins/centerpieces tied in flawlessly with the flowers and cake. Unfortunately, there was a monsoon on our wedding day, but the Sugar City team did an amazing job of setting up inside for the ceremony. They also quickly flipped the room for the reception while the guests toured the butterfly house! It turned out perfect!

    The day was crazy and I didn't get to speak to Sonja much, but she also did a great job in making sure everything ran smoothly. I can't thank Sugar City enough for a perfect day! They truly exceeded all expectations. Carron is so genuine and passionate about what she does. You cannot go wrong with Sugar City & Texas Discovery Gardens!

    This was, for my husband and I, THE best place to get married at! The reception hall was amazing! It rained on my wedding day and the ceremony was supposed to be outside so it was moved inside last minute. I was so impressed with how it turned out! I honestly can say that I am so happy that it was inside. During the ceremony (reception) the garden was visible through the floor to ceiling walls--it was our backdrop/background for our ceremony and was so beautiful!! Tammy along with Sonja were sooooooo helpful--I can not imagine how my day would have gone if they were not there! This is a beautiful place to get married at and the best people to work with!

    We were thrilled with this location. Our guests still haven't stopped raving about how beautiful everything was and how they can't believe they didn't know Texas Discovery Gardens was there. Carron and Tammy both worked really hard with us and went the extra mile to plan the kind of celebration we envisioned, and we got the wedding of our dreams, complete with kids running around and everyone enjoying the butterfly gardens and playing outdoor games on a gorgeous Spring day. Stunning gardens, great indoor space, great people.

    I am so glad we were able to get married at this fantastic venue! Carron and Tammy were both absolutely wonderful to work with. The are both experts in their field and were able to offer advice on any questions we had.

    The venue is absolutely beautiful, and its so special that its right there in the middle of fair park. I highly recommend splurging on renting the butterfly house in addition to your ceremony/reception space. Our guests really enjoyed the opportunity to stroll around it during our cocktail hour.

    Texas Discovery Gardens was an awesome place to have our wedding! I originally did not want an outdoor wedding because I did not want to have to be concerned with weather/bugs, etc, but I changed my mind when I saw the venue because it has a beautiful ballroom where you can have an indoor reception. So only the ceremony was outside and it was gorgeous. We got married in front of a fountain on a long lawn. So many guests told me that they had never been to TDG and were extremely impressed with how nice the venue was. Additionally, you stock your own bar which was important to me because I found the prices of bar packages to be outrageous so being able to stock my own alcohol (and return any unopened bottles as well) seemed like a great way to save. Anyway I think everyone at the venue did a great job and I have no complaints whatsoever.

    I loved having my wedding here! I was a litte worried when I read some of the other not-so-great reviews, but I had only good experiences here.

    The main ballroom is very large and pretty plain at first, but the huge windows looking out onto the gardens are so beautiful that you really don't need that much decoration in the room. My only complaint would be that I wish they still had the wooden floors that are in some of the pictures online, now it is a fairly ugly linoleum.

    We had an afternoon wedding with croquet and lawn games on the circular lawn and this venue was absolutely perfect for it. I got so many compliments on the venue and gardens!!

    Tammy from discovery gardens and Carron from sugar city sweets are amazing to work with! They truly were there to help with everything! I never felt like just another bride, they wanted to make my wedding perfect just as much as I did! Carron went above and beyond her call of duty to make sure everything was the way I wanted! She took all the stress away with our monthly meetings and walk throughout. They even surprised with a wedding gift which was beyond anything we ever expected! I can not thank them enough for making our day so special!
