Dove Hollow Estate is a unique wedding venue located in the East Texas area right outside the Longview city limits. We are conveniently located only 1 hour from Shreveport, LA, but are also only 2 hours from our DFW brides. Our barn can accommodate up to 200 people in both our outdoor ceremony space, and our indoor all black Chapel. We also provide a covered patio that is the full length of our barn, equipped with ambient lighting and oscillating fans. We encourage our brides and their bridal party to get ready in our upstairs bridal suite with a private restroom. There is also a groom's lounge for the men. We happily provide your initial table/chair setup to help free up the workload on your big day. Contact us today to book a tour! We would love to show you around!!

Madlyn and Natalie

Owner

We are sisters who are originally from the East Texas area, but lived in DFW in our college years. We are both recently married and know what it's like to plan a wedding in this day and age. We designed Dove Hollow with the realization of the demand for a new and fresh style that meets the needs of the modern bride, but still accommodates the rustic bride. Dove Hollow is a blank slate where couples with different tastes can make the space their own for their special day, and that truly makes our venue stand apart. We hope you let us show you around Dove Hollow!

The venue was absolutely beautiful. Madlyn went above and beyond for my wife and I for anything that we needed. There is no other place that I would've wanted to get married. We de...

I am still in clinical shock over the perfection that Dove Hollow and MadLove Events created for my wedding day. The venue itself is a dream and the location is perfect. Every det...

ail in the chapel and the barn is stunning. Natalie and Madlyn are incredible. The communication from the day I scheduled our first tour all the way to our wedding day was excellent. They are so personable, kind, and professional. Madlyn, of MadLove Events at Dove, literally created my dream wedding. Leading up to the event, I knew she had planned an iconic wedding, but she literally went so above and beyond, and turned my wedding into literal art. She created, and executed, the most stunning ceremony and reception space. She also hooked me up with the most amazing vendors. Ugh, it was iconic y'all. She was also so supportive and flexible throughout the entire planning process. I genuinely do not have the words to fully describe how incredible Dove Hollow and the Dove Hollow ladies are. I wish I could give way more than 5 stars!!!!!!

Madlyn Lackey of Mad Love Events at Dove Hollow was absolutely the best planner and coordinator imaginable. Hands down. She was thorough in every detail, had gorgeous style, and ...

was a pleasure to work with. When problems came up, she handled them with grace and ease. I didn't have to worry that the event would turn out to be less than perfect. It was. All my guests commented it was the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. Madlyn's communication was perfect and she was always ahead of schedule. I, my wedding party, and family all enjoyed the entire experience with both partners at Mad Love Events planning and coordinating. If you have an event in the East Texas area and you're looking to hire a true professional with amazing style, look no further than Mad Love Events at Dove Hollow.

Madlyn and Natalie are amazing. The environment that they have created at Dove Hollow is so beautiful and peaceful that you hardly need much to decorate the space. Not only is the ...

venue spectacular, but Natalie and Madlyn are too. They truly made our wedding day so special. They care about their brides and are incredibly professional. I highly recommend booking Dove Hollow and MadLove Events (their add-on service for day-of coordinating). You won’t regret it!

There are not enough words to describe the lovely experience we had with Dove Hollow Estate. Madlyn and Natalie definitely build this venue with love, and paid such close attentio...

n to detail. We booked the venue before we were even engaged because we knew nothing else could top what we found with Dove Hollow Estate. Our wedding was beautiful, with Madlyn and Natalie were right there the whole time - from set up to take down! They are wonderful, beautiful people! I highly recommend any couple still looking, to stop by and allow Dove Hollow Estate to be your dream venue as well. It was a dream!

I don’t know where to even begin... I toured Dove Hollow when it was under construction and when I pulled up to the property I instantly had a great and unexplainable feeling about...

this little tucked away special place. I could already envision my wedding day being there. We booked that day and canceled my tour we had scheduled after. Natalie & Madlyn are a powerhouse and have made Dove Hollow truly something beautiful. Something East Texas definitely needed and doesn’t have. My wedding day was something out of a fairytale and it was definitely because of where it took place. I love this venue and love these girls! Best decision I ever made was to marry my best friend right outside the prettiest barn there ever was!
