Madison S. Sent on 05/31/2024Forever Grateful for The Orchard + Shaina
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

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.

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! -

Rim M. Sent on 05/22/2022It’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. -

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,
Thank you so much for your kind words about our venue. We were so honored to be a part of your beautiful day! Wishing you & Joe a lifetime of love! xoxo -

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.

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 :) -

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.

Brandi Sent on 10/14/2020The 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!!!🤍💍 -

Emily K. Sent on 09/14/2020Covid-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!

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!

Jesse P. Sent on 08/21/2020Our 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!!!

Megan A. Sent on 07/31/2020Perfect 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!!The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat's reply:
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!
