Amazing venue! It’s absolutely beautiful. I have had several guest call after the wedding complementing the venue. Very well priced and the owners are very friendly and helpful. I also did my bridals there as well and it’s just stunning!

ble. It The bridal suite is huge and offers such a stress free morning, the chapel is gorgeous in and of itself, the reception space can really be versatile for your needs, and the staff is so incredibly helpful and kind - they realize it’s your monumentous day. They have a variety of rentals for you to choose even with wedding coordination, table decor, and other large rentals which made me not have to think about anything on my wedding day. Specifically, Alexis and Maddy were amazing and made my wedding awesome. Alexis helped me a lot at the design studio in McKinney for our reception decor and for my bridals and Maddy helped with our FaceTime Tour and on the day of. They will let you bring in any vendors you’d like but do have a preferred list. We used food trucks and mobile bars and they were a hit. I would use them over and over again. Bethel Rock is the place to get married!

athrooms are just incredible. Every detail is so gorgeous. The photo locations are endless and we took our engagements, bridals, and wedding day photos all over the property. There are so many spaces that you can use and every guest at our wedding had amazing things to say about how gorgeous the venue was. Every space at the venue flows well for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We loved how our wedding was an indoor-outdoor concept. Everyone at the venue is so easy to work with as well and very accommodating. They are all so kind and truly care about making your wedding day amazing. They are extremely responsive and organized. We could not recommend the venue more. We had a guest count slightly larger than the venue can accommodate and they were so willing to work with us. We just can’t say enough good things about Bethel Rock and the Bethel Rock team!!

back to me immediately and did everything when they said they would. They are great at communicating, which was such a relief when making sure I had everything in order. And the venue is absolutely stunning. The entire place looks like it belongs in a magazine. The bridal suit is huge and gorgeous, the groom’s area is full of fun things to keep the guys busy while they wait. The ceremony spot is so peaceful and radiant. The courtyard area is spacious and they even have ping pong and corn hole you can use during the reception time. My guests absolutely loved it! The reception area is stylish, and they have a design package where you can rent all the table decide which saved us a lot of money, time, and we didn’t have to figure out what to do with everything after the wedding. It was just so magical there, and I could not be happier with how my day turned out. I highly recommend getting married at Bethel Rock!

dly needs any decorations/decor. They have their own rental catalog that couples can go through to make the planning process easier. We utilized the entire venue space by having an outside cocktail hour and lots of yard games for guests. Although April weather can be “iffy” we ended up with the perfect day (they do have an inside ceremony option as needed)! The boys absolutely loved the groom’s suite and the girls were obsessed with the bridal cottage. So much room to spread out and so many great picture opportunities. 10/10 recommend Bethel Rock.

Taylor Nguyen, Bethel Rocks Wedding Coordinator, was nothing short of AMAZING! She made my wedding vision come to life! I let her take control of the reins for most of of it & she killed it! She may be small-- but she is mighty! She is on top of every little detail and made everything so perfect. Her planning and communication was the best I have ever worked with! Not only did I think her work was the best I have ever seen but she became the crowd favorite with our wedding party, families and even our guest!
If your thinking of planning a wedding-- I HIGHLY recommend booking Taylor! She is everything and more!
The owners of Bethel Rock, John & Jennifer, are some of the sweetest people we have ever met. We actually got to meet them when we took our very first tour-- They have created such a magical venue and they have led such a special team. They captivated our attention the second we step foot on the venue property!
The whole Bethel Rock team was my rock and I could not have done anything without them! I could not have asked for anything better than them!
Tanner and I cannot thank Bethel Rock enough for making our special day so absolutely perfect! xoxo

s well!) are the most helpful and supportive people - they truly stopped at nothing to make our day perfect for us. They cared for our day in the same way that we did in their words & actions, and that meant the world to us. Second, the venue itself was everything we wanted and more. It truly felt like a retreat for our bridal party the night before & morning of. It felt like a destination wedding for our guests while also being close to home. My entire experience with Bethel Rock was seamless - they put my husband and I first, and I was so confident entrusting them with our big day. Thank you to the Bethel Rock team - you made June 25, 2021 so special!

After finally having our wedding we had so many guests comment on how beautiful the venue is and how much they loved our wedding. We can’t thank the Bethel Rock team enough for all they did for our amazing day! Highly highly recommend- it’s an absolute gem of a venue.

Bethel Rock is literally the most beautiful venue I have ever seen, and you wouldn't believe the amount of compliments we received on the venue. Even my vendors were blown away. Bu...
t clearly we all can see how pretty it is, so I'm going to give you all the reasons to choose this venue. The staff is literally amazing. In all the venues we toured, we never felt connected or supported by the staff in the same way we did at Bethel Rock. We were planning from out of state and I needed all the help I could get. Jennifer was beyond amazing in helping me coordinate details and making us feel supported. The staff was also present day of to help move last minute tables, make sure landscape was good, and assist with any issues that may come up. Jennifer even lit all the candles on my tables and made sure things were beautiful for after our ceremony. They also have so many amazing items you can rent for a very reasonable cost, better than most rentals I've seen in the Dallas area. Jennifer's style is ON POINT, and again, we got so many compliments on every piece of decor. Again, this was a huge help in creating a picture perfect venue and having all the tools we needed for the reception. There is also a house on site that you can use for the wedding day, as well as rent the night before! It was perfect for us, as we used it for both our tiny rehearsal dinner space, and it took away so much stress to be able to decorate and relax the day before. It's also so nice to have a large space to get ready in, as opposed to so many other bridal suites I've seen at other venues. Third, the entire property is amazing, ESPECIALLY for a Covid wedding. We were able to spread things out and make sure our guests felt comfortable, which was a huge plus. There is so much you can do with this venue, the sky is literally the limit! It was such an amazing space, great value, great pictures, and great staff. Would recommend this over and over again, above all other venues like it! Please please please schedule a visit! You will not be sorry!

I would 100% recommend checking this venue out in person and having your wedding here!

The owners were the second best selling point. They helped us create an event that not only exceeded our expectations but met our budgetary needs.
I would highly recommend Bethel Rock for any size or style of wedding.
