Several people have already said it, but let me assure you, Shelly is amazing! Her venue is perfect for big and small weddings. My husband and I got married November 2022 and it was perfect. Hidden Gardens was exactly what we were looking for! ...

We had gone to see several other venues before checking out Hidden Gardens, and as we drove to see Shelly and her beautiful venue we actually talked about eloping instead. As soon as we pulled up, everything changed! Shelly was so friendly, her property and all of its decorations and amenities were exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I wanted a really intimate affair, and all my decorations went well with the décor and it all looked seamless. We made our decision that day to book with her! We got married on a Thursday and Shelly helped make it perfect! She worked well with my wedding coordinator / florist and helped ease some of the confusion with some of my less than perfect vendors. Shelly really helped make our wedding a day to remember she coordinated with our DJ, our caterer and made sure everything was exactly the way we wanted. She requests that you use her bartender, and let me tell you Jimmy is super responsive to phone calls and text messages and everything with him was breeze! Throughout our whole wedding planning process Shelly answered my questions and text messages and offered us lots of advice! If I could do my wedding over again, I would most definitely choose Shelly again and again! Although ,I did not choose to use Shelly as my florist or coordinator those are two services she offers. I do however, wish that I had used her husband as my caterer. If I could offer any advice to any of you on the fence, please go and visit Shelly and her venue. It truly is a special place in the middle of nowhere! Shelly, If you're reading this, Thank you again for helping to make our wedding the dream it was! <3

I knew from my first tour that this was the venue I had to have, it was naturally beautiful, authentic, vintage, full of character and most of all affordable. I love the huge bar, the adorable dressing room, the large restrooms and my groomsmen...

loved the grooms suite! It also felt good to go with a family owned site because you can really tell the difference in the customer service and caring in comparison to a corporate chain. I had a lot of out of town guests and everyone I have talked to after the ceremony and reception has raved about Hidden Gardens. Michelle and her family really love this house and what they do and it shows. I will forever suggest this place for any special occasion.

enue itself was gorgeous - luscious gardens and perfect landscaping. I got so many compliments at my wedding about how beautiful the venue was. And the best part is the gorgeous antique decor that Shelly already has at the venue means you don’t have to add a lot of decor for it to be a beautiful event. The bride/groom rooms upstairs were so lovely the day of to relax and get ready in. I had the perfect wedding day - no hiccups, nothing went wrong, it was everything I dreamed of and more, and it’s all because of this venue and Shelly!!

really enhance the candid shots of everyone. We had some really strong storms and cold front blow through the night before. She reached out to me the morning of the wedding to go over a contingency plan for rain at what was supposed to be an outdoor wedding. She had great ideas for a plan B and it was all running smoothly when we arrived to get dressed etc. Speaking of getting dressed. Make sure you check out her gallery. The bride's dressing room is SO pretty. I definitely recommend Shelly and her lovely venue.

lly becomes your home for the day which is what makes it so special. The upstairs has plenty of room for the family and bridal party to relax and hangout, not to mention the decor and arrangements are spectacular! The vanity room that the bride and bridesmaids are able to get ready in is something out of a movie and truly made our pre-ceremony pictures one of a kind. I also loved all of the corky history stories that the house has with it(ask Shelly about them!)- it truly makes your day feel like its part of something much bigger. Shelly and her family went above and beyond for us every step of the way. They work so hard to make your vision become a reality! She has several options of decorations and signs for you to use on sight if you wish but the great part about this place is that the house already has so much character you don't need to add very much. The large farmhouse tables are beautiful and helped create the 'family-style' atmosphere that we wanted. They even have heaters available to rent if your day gets a little chilly like ours did! I highly recommend this beautiful venue to anyone looking for something that's Fort Worth local but makes you feel like you're in another world!

I absolutely love my job. I am a floral artist by trade & I also manage Hidden Gardens Venue. I have worked in the floral industry along side my mom for the last 22 years. We run a very successful Florist and do a ton of weddings & special events. We brought & old stone mansion back to life, and we love sharing the history with families. I love meeting people & getting to know the families that hold their "Special Day" at our venue. It seems when their day is over & everyone has had a great time - it's hard to say goodbye, after we've connected & made that friendship.
