II am crying happy tears thinking about my daughter's wedding at Chapel at Palacios. From the time we first walked in the venue, we knew this was the place she would be married to ...
the love of her life. It is beautiful and elegant, while affordable.
Chapel at Palacios is European-style, water front, and romantic. It also has such a fun vibe. Our guests loved it. Everyone had so much fun!
We had an amazing sit down dinner, outside and inside open bars, and awesome, friendly staff. In addition, the outdoor grass area was perfect for cocktail hour with appetizers and our special guest, Highland cow, Hank Williams Jr.
What else makes Chapel at Palacios so special? Kelsye, our coordinator and her team were wonderful. We remained stress free, many thanks to Kelsye. Also Payton and Hector were right there, helping with anything we needed.
If you are looking for a venue that can do everything at an affordable price, I highly recommend Chapel at Palacios. It is centrally located and close to DFW airport, hotels and great restaurants.
As my daughter said, her wedding was everything and more than she had dreamed it would be.
Thank you Chapel at Palacios and Walters Wedding Estates. We are forever grateful for a venue that helped create so many special memories.♥️

Chapel at Palacios was an incredible venue to host our daughter’s wedding. The entire staff which included the planner, photographers, and DJ: Brenda, Hector, Jose, Jesse, Amber ...
and Tocco all did an amazing job. I would very highly recommend to anyone to use these same individuals for your wedding. I believe that your experience will be just as special as ours. Look elsewhere if you like but I seriously doubt you will find a better Team/Venue to host a wedding. Exceptional from start to finish!

Venue Aesthetics: The venue is beautiful. You don’t need to do much décor-wise to have a beautiful wedding here.
CoHost Entertainment: Our DJ knocked it out of the park. CoHost wa...
s the one Walters vendor we interacted with that truly went above and beyond to make our day special.
Jenny Layne Bakery: Our gluten-free/dairy-free cakes and other desserts were delicious. The bakery did everything they promised in terms of design on our cakes. However, all our interaction with the bakery was through our venue coordinator. We never spoke to a direct representative of the bakery, which was troubling to me (it may not be to everyone).
DesignHaus Floral: I cannot recommend against this florist enough. We were in discussions with DesignHaus for about a month. During that time, two separate employees explained we would receive a $1600 floral credit if we chose to book. We thought this sounded too good to be true, so we inquired further about the credit. The same two separate people then explained the credit to us as a “gift card.” So, we were surprised when we were invoiced by the venue for $1600 after deciding to book with DesignHaus. The $1600 credit isn’t a credit at all. The credit is paid to the venue for them to pass through to DesignHaus. Personally, since two separate employees explained the credit to us as a gift card (and since I’ve seen other reviews related to the “credit”), I feel DesignHaus is deceptive toward potential customers.
Emily Chappell Photography: I planned my wedding from start to finish, so it was important to me to carefully research each vendor. When I contacted Emily Chappell Photography to request an initial meeting to discuss a few questions, I was told they don’t schedule calls for “planning and logistics.” I would have the opportunity to meet with my assigned photographer only after booking and paying. This blatant disregard for potential clients’ communication preferences caused me to look elsewhere for my photographer.
Venue Event Coordinator: We were passed through two other event coordinators before finally being assigned to Lainey O’Steen. There was no formal communication at any time about the switches in coordinators. I did not feel Lainey was helpful on our wedding day. We didn’t see her for most of the day, and she didn’t seem to enjoy her interactions with us when we did see her. This caused my family and other assistants I brought in to work overtime to make sure everything went smoothly. Also, we paid $500 (plus a "service fee") to reserve our rehearsal for the day before our wedding. About 2 weeks prior, we were told we had to change our rehearsal time to accommodate a wedding adding extra time to their reservation. To the venue’s credit, they did not charge us for the rehearsal after this change. However, we were asked to leave about 10 to 15 minutes before our rehearsal was scheduled to end. We understand weddings take precedence over rehearsals, but I would have expected more professionalism & efficiency in scheduling given the amount I paid to have my wedding here.
Other Day-Of Mishaps: There were high schoolers taking prom photos around the venue on our wedding day. My husband had to ask venue staff 3 times to remove them. To top it all off, we chose the fajita buffet for dinner - and our guests were told they were only allowed 1 tortilla in the buffet line. This limitation was not mentioned during the planning process, and quite frankly, it was embarrassing to hear about after my wedding.

We had an amazing wedding at the Chapel at Palacios this April! The venue is stunning with amazing places for photography/videography. It really suited us as a couple.
I was a bit...
nervous having our day of coordination through a venue, but our day ran so smoothly!! I was truly able to sit back, relax, and enjoy our day. Lainey was our coordinator and she was FANTASTIC! She did everything - made sure the day was running smoothly, made sure we ate/drank, talked with all my vendors (we did a lot of outside vendors), and even fixed our polaroid camera!
The wedding was absolutely beautiful and we received so many compliments on our wedding!! We are so glad we went with this venue!

It’s been a year since our wedding, and the venue still stands out as one of the most beautiful spaces we’ve seen. The setting alone made planning easier—we didn’t have to do much ...
to make it feel special.
That said, there were a few things that left a sour taste. The in-house vendors were wildly expensive, and the restrictions and fees around third-party vendors felt more like punishments than policies. It added unnecessary stress to the process. Also, while our package included a planner, it honestly felt redundant. The day-of coordinators—Payton and Heather—were the real backbone of our experience. They were incredible. When my wife’s bustle broke right before our first dance, Payton handled it perfectly and kept everything moving without a hitch.
One major issue, though: one of our guests didn’t have a plate. It was incredibly embarrassing as a host and the last thing I wanted to worry about on our wedding day. I’m still not sure where the miscommunication happened, but the venue is that strict on headcount and didn’t offer much grace. For the amount we spent, that kind of rigidity felt disappointing.
Also worth noting—the surrounding construction and exposed dirt areas made the entry experience feel unfinished and uninviting. It took away from the first impression, which is unfortunate given how beautiful the venue itself is.
We loved our day, and we’re grateful for the memories—but just know that Walters Wedding Estates is very much a business, and the pricing and policies reflect that. If you do book, definitely request Payton and Heather—they were the highlight.

e for the easy experience that I've heard of and man oh man was I right. I'm officially 2 weeks out from my own wedding and I've never felt more at peace about the process. I FULLY believe that is because of our day of coordinator Brenda Wilson (she helped with so much leading up to the wedding as well). Payton, Lainey, and Hector are also three people that have dedicated themselves to helping our day be the best that it possibly could be. They're SO organized, SO helpful in letting us know that there are deals going on (like black Friday) and making sure that all of our vendors know when there are any changes in our day. I've felt so stress free and couldn't be more thankful for such a phenomenal team that cares so much about the first day of their customers forever. I couldn't have asked for a better venue and team!

eline!
Hector took such good care of us, and made sure we had everything we needed!
Lexie was an exceptional photographer. She worked seamlessly with our personal videographer and took what we know are the most beautiful shots. Lexie made sure we were always looking our best, and came prepared with a long list of fun shots to take! She even got the shots we felt like getting at the last minute, and all with a big smile and top-notch efficiency.
Miranda was a phenomenal DJ. From MC to music, she had our guests asking about her the next day - everyone was so impressed with her mixing, how she spoke during the event announcements, and even about how much they loved the lighting!
We wanted to directly thank Linda and the team at Lyons Paperie for our beautiful announcement cards, save the dates, invitation suites, and thank you cards. We will continue to use their services for thank you cards after our event!
Jenny Layne Bakery made the most beautiful cake for us - we don't know who to thank specifically, so we wanted to make sure the team got a big thank you from us! Our gluten-free guests felt very well taken care of, and we LOVED the design that the team came up with for our cake. It was everything we wanted and more.
We wanted to take a moment to thank the wonderful woman on security at our event. We didn't catch her name, but she had such a warm personality, and guests came up to us multiple times during the event to mention that she was so wonderful and kind. Her presence made the night even better. Thank you!
Our bartender, Charlie, was loved by all! Our parents all commented on his bubbly demeanor and how quick he was! Thank you, Charlie!
Overall, the event was beautiful. We had a floral snafu, which Lainey immediately fixed and made sure was ready before the ceremony. Thank you, Lainey!
Along the process, there were a few pieces of information that were inconsistent, and things that we were told that ended up not being consistent at a later date, which could have posed to be more frustrating, but we didn't feel like pressing the matter, we had also asked to receive the remaining desserts to pass along to our traveling family at the end of the night, and the last few plates of items that we saw didn't make it home with our family. Life goes on! At the end of the day, it was a beautiful venue and a wonderful ceremony, made better by all of the vendors who worked tirelessly to make sure our event was seamless. We could not have asked for a better wedding day!

She helped my wedding party with the set up and break down of our personal belongings AND she was incredibly attentive the entire time. We really lucked out getting to work with such an awesome coordinator. When you book, make sure to request Lainey to know that you will be taken care of. I felt like my wedding was an absolute dream.

One of the biggest stress-relievers for us was the all-inclusive options offered at the Chapel at Palacios. They made planning so much easier by taking care of everything we needed, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the process. The level of care, effort, and attention to detail was extraordinary, and it made a world of difference in creating a seamless, stress-free experience for us.
Our coordinators, Lainey and Payton, were absolute gems. Their professionalism, organization, and calm demeanor kept everything running smoothly, ensuring that the day flowed perfectly. They were always there to offer guidance, answer questions, and take care of anything that came up, so we could just focus on enjoying the moment. We felt completely supported throughout the entire process!
We also want to give a huge shout-out to the rest of the team who made our day so special: Tyler, our amazing DJ, who kept the energy high and the dance floor packed all night; Lexie, our fantastic photographer, who captured every magical moment beautifully; and Hector, our additional helper, who was always ready with a smile and willing to lend a hand wherever needed.
We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to help bring our dream wedding to life. Every detail was taken care of with such care and precision, and we truly felt that this was a day made just for us. Thank you, Chapel at Palacios, Lainey, Payton, and the entire team for creating memories we will cherish forever!

tire team at Walter’s Wedding Estates went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly. Their support, care, and attention to detail made all the difference, especially when it came to keeping the day stress-free and enjoyable.
The venue itself is absolutely stunning. With its European-inspired architecture and breathtaking elegance, it felt like we were transported to a fairy tale. The sunset view was nothing short of magical and provided the most incredible backdrop for our ceremony and photos. Guests couldn’t stop raving about how picturesque everything was!
While the day-of experience was flawless, we did encounter a little bit of a lack of communication during the planning process, particularly when scheduling meetings and ironing out the finer details. That said, once everything came together, it was clear the team’s commitment to excellence shined through.
If you’re looking for a venue that blends beauty, charm, and a truly unforgettable ambiance, the Chapel at Palacios is it. I’m so grateful to Brenda and her team for helping us create memories we’ll cherish forever!

d out the rest of the complex soon as the open dirt area's look less than inviting, however the wedding facility including the chapel and party area is amazing.
My only negative and this is a big one for me as my family are foodies, is the dinner served was intuitional cuisine at best. I have had better food at my local high school. Most of my guests refused to eat the chicken which was rubbery and the 1/2 of a think cut steak was hard to cut and had no flavor except for the salty and over seasoned peppercorn sauce. The dinner was suppose to have Mac & Cheese on the plate but was replaced with Penne pasta in a cream sauce. The Caesar Salad was a hand full of romaine lettuce on a very small plate, with 2 small croutons, a bit of parmesan cheese and a drizzle of store bought Caesar dressing. Very plain and had no appeal. Toss the salad in a bowl and then plate it.
If I am going to pay as much as I did, I expect a lot more than the food we were served. I know its hard to find good help, but getting a great Chef and not a senior citizen home line cook dishing out the crap we were served.
Our vegetarian meals were even worse. Not only did they come out 20 minutes before anyone else food, it looked like it was dog food. One girl who was anti gluten, and we ordered a gluten meal, never got her special dish.
It would be worth hiring a real Chef, asking maybe a $1,000 more per event and giving a meal worth of the space. Good quality food takes time and cost a bit more and all the sauces in the world can not cover up poor quality choices.

Lainey was an absolute dream to work with. Her attention to detail was unparalleled, and I never once felt overlooked or out of the loop. She was always in constant contact, checking in frequently to make sure everything was on track and to offer her expertise. I could always count on her to answer any questions, address concerns, and offer suggestions that elevated our vision.
The entire team at Walters Wedding Estates, however, truly deserves recognition. Their passion for creating the perfect day was evident in everything they did. Lainey’s kind nature and calm demeanor, combined with the exceptional support and resources of the Walters team, made our wedding day feel like a dream come true. From flawless coordination to the beautiful venue and thoughtful details, the experience was beyond what we could have ever hoped for. The level of care and dedication from everyone involved ensured that our celebration was not only beautiful but also stress-free. If you’re looking for a team that goes above and beyond to bring your dream wedding to life, Walters Wedding Estates is the clear choice!

Walters Wedding and Chapel of Palacios help give us the best wedding! It truly was the best day ever. I loved the "all-inclusive" feel that Walters provided as it streamlined the ...
planning process and relieved a lot of the stress that could have come. Brenda and Laney were AMAZING, our wedding would not have been what it was without them. They were so sincere, genuine and truly cared that everyone enjoyed themselves. Also, they made me and my husband feel so special throughout the whole process. As someone who is very detail oriented and "Type-A", I felt confident that everything would go perfectly because of Brenda and Laney - and it did! From the planning process to the grand exit, they were so organized and had excellent communication and this really helped our wedding go so smooth. And on top of all of that, the whole staff was so kind and accommodating. Thank you for throwing us the best party ever!

uests. The Palacios team took every step to make our day special and perfect. We were fortunate enough to work with Lainey, Payton, Brenda, and Hector. They all cared for us with big, welcoming smiles the entire day and did an awesome job at coordinating and communicating everything. Without their amazing efforts our wedding day would not have been the same. Very thankful that we chose this location and got the team we did.

Truly a dream come true! From an anxious bride like myself, I felt overwhelmed by the daunting task of planning my wedding. Walters Wedding Estates, particularly Audra, Payton, Lai...
ney, and Brenda, have settled my nerves and supported me throughout this journey. Their all inclusive packages, willingness to assist, and bountiful opportunities for customization allowed my fiance and I to plan the wedding we've hoped for. When my fiance and I initially toured Chapel at Palacios, we knew this venue was the perfect fit. From the thoughtful details in the bride/groom suites to the ambiance created by the pond and outdoor area - this venue had our jaws dropped and our hearts giddy. To all future couples: I highly recommend Chapel at Palacios along with Walters Wedding Estates for your chapel/reception venue, vendors, and calm spirited needs!

e to not just us as bride and groom, but all of our guests. It’s been two weeks after our wedding, and we still hear from family and friends how impressed they were with how smooth the day went and how attentive Brenda in particular was through the night- she brought people drinks, passed out our party props and send off props, checked in on our family, fixed my broken bustle and hemmed my dress with pins, and kept everything running on timeline as that was very important to me. Lainey also went above and beyond- she checked on us consistently for food and drinks, packed some of our belongings, and also went out of her way to handle caring for my purse, phone, makeup, shoes, etc throughout the day/night. These two really did an incredible job and I am so grateful for them making our day so memorable and perfect! Thank you Brenda & Lainey!

My daughter had her wedding here on 8-9-2024. I cant say enough wonderful things about this venue. We booked about 8 months out and worked with Audra. She made booking this venue ...
super easy with zero stress. Brenda and Peyton were our planners and "day of " event coordinators. Everything was beyond our expectations. They worked within our budget and came up with solutions to stretch said budget.
On the day of, they were everywhere all at once. They were always checking on us to make sure we lacked nothing. Drinks and appetizers appeared magically!! Brenda even helped me with the French bustle ( she was experienced at this and had lightening speed hands) Towards the end of the evening my daughter said she didn't know what happened to my 40 year old crystal champagne flutes . I asked Brenda and she said , they were already wrapped in tissue and put away for us to take home. They pretty much boxed up everything extra that we brought in and put it all together for us to carry out.
Everything was PERFECT from food , drinks, lighting , DJ, flowers and the guys/girls getting ready suites . Everything was fabulous!! Plus, the venue itself is gorgeous!!
We did tour other venues prior to the Palacios. Nothing compared, we were in love!! We were so happy with this decision and gave our only daughter the" fairy tale" wedding of dreams!!

with the touring and booking process. She worked with us and kept us within our budget. She made us feel like we were her only clients. She alleviated all of our concerns and fears with planning our wedding. Once we booked our date we were paired with the amazing Payton who is our venue coordinator. She made everything so easy, from planning seating charts to meals and everything in between. She is calm and laid back making everything such a breeze. We are absolutely in love with this venue. The Chapel at Palacios is like a little Italian destination wedding in Texas. The pictures are going to be a dream, who would think our wedding is taking place in Texas and not somewhere in Europe!

We’ve had the best experience with Walters Wedding Estates, especially the team at Chapel at Palacios! With such a big wedding company, I was initially nervous we wouldn’t get a pe...
rsonalized experience. That has not been the case for us. The team has been prompt to answer every question and they have been celebrating us the whole way! From the beginning, we toured venues with Samantha Johnson and she helped us book our dream venue, Chapel at Palacios. Samantha was so fun, helpful, and real. She set us at ease as we started the planning process. We then started working with Payton K on details for the wedding day. She has been so thorough and knowledgeable. Payton has understood our vision and made everything work for us. Now as we get closer to the wedding date, we're getting to work with Brenda Wilson, and we're so confident in her ability to make sure our wedding day runs smoothly. She has the personality to keep folks in line and still make sure the party doesn't stop. We're so grateful for these incredible women. Working with them has made this process a breeze!
When I started my venue search, I had a list of things I knew we wanted: glass chapel vibe, two getting ready spaces, and multiple bathroom options. I found a few places that would check one or two things off the list, but we were always sacrificing something. I had already looked at the Walters site in my original search, but I decided to look again - and I’m SO glad I did. Chapel at Palacios had been added since the first time I looked. When I realized this and looked into it, it was gorgeous and I was so hopeful it would be everything we were looking for. It turns out that it was everything and MORE! It checked all of our boxes, plus a few - the beautiful European style, the brand newness meant it would be clean and aesthetic, and the bride’s getting ready space was SHOW STOPPING. If you’re on the fence about this venue, I urge you to take a tour. It made all of our dreams come true!
