Supporting this venue is supporting discrimination and homophobia! My partner and I have been looking for wedding venues in the DFW area. We scheduled a tour at Lockheart Gables through TheKnot.com and drove two hours round trip from where we live to see the venue. We were in contact with Kelly from the venue and I emailed her my fiancés information before the tour. She obviously didn’t look at the information I sent her beforehand to realize we are a same-sex couple. Instead, when we got there, we were escorted inside the doorway and then asked if it was a same-sex wedding. When I replied that it was, I was informed that the minister on staff “does not do that”, and there is no option for renting the venue without said minister. There was nothing on the Knot page for this venue or on their website that said it had such strong religious affiliations and opinions on same-sex marriage. If we knew it did, we would not have scheduled a tour out of our respect for the views of some people of faith not to perform same-sex marriages. I left the venue in tears, without a tour, feeling extremely offended and devalued. Any wedding venue asking for thousands of dollars for booking should be up-front about their refusal to serve same-sex couples, and risk the loss of business that this stance might bring. For my fiancé and myself this experience was absolutely horrible. We have never before been made to feel so discriminated against. I would encourage same-sex couples to not schedule any tours with this venue. Also, heterosexual couples who have any gay relatives or friends that will be attending your wedding, or if you consider yourself an ally to the LGBT community in any way, I strongly suggest that you take this venue’s stance into consideration when deciding where to spend your hard-earned money.
A side note: Our venue coordinator at TheKnot.com was also shocked by this behavior, and she will be informing her director of this experience. TheKnot supports same-sex couples in their wedding planning, and I do not consider them to be at fault for this venue’s actions.
Beautiful little place tucked into the hustle of the city. Kelly was awesome. Perfect for small wedding and a great deal to boot. They have a place they can use for larger weddings, but the garden area was just precious. My only suggestion would be to select your own preacher.
My mother in law suggested this place and we could not have been more pleased. With about a month to the wedding date, they were able to get us the day we wanted and Kelly took care of everything from the set up and tear down to the cake and minister! It was truly the best experience that I could have imagined. The food is fantastic and Kelly and her husband do a wonderful job of handling everything and making you feel at home while your a guest.
I chose this place for my reception and ceremony. At first everything seemed great until a new couple took over and ruined it. When my fiance and I went to make the final payment the innkeeper Kelly forgot about our appointment and we waited 30-40 minutes for her. While going through out wedding plans it turns out that she almost rented my already booked chapel out to another bride because she thought i simply had a reception there. She also had the wrong time written down for the ceremony to start. I had been informed that as part of the package I can use the first floor of the b&B and when I expressed that I wanted my cake inside under the chandelier she argued with me saying that too many people would be in there. I finally got her to agree. We set a time for the rehearsal and I let all the key people know. Upon arrival Kelly was not there I called her and she had again forgotten about us. We were left to stand in the heat outside again for about 45 minutes. When she finally got there she did not say anything to us she simply pushed past me and unlocked the door. There was no A/c on at this point. We walked through the ceremony and when I would say how I wanted something she would simply scoff and say that is not how we do things like having the groomsmen walk in with the bridesmaid a pretty standard practice.after more arguing she would accept. Then my maid of honor asked her for her cell number so she can call the next day and ensure that the air would be on and she informed her that it would be and there was no need to call. My MOH still called and was sent to message and then hung up on. She got there a little early to make sure things were right. The air was not on again. The whole chapel felt like we should be melting. When my wedding planner arrived Kelly chose to instantly harass her about making sure we ended on time. Kelly attempted to have my cake placed outside forgetting that we had decided inside. The groomsmen's dressing room was very small and had no fans they were sweating. Me and my girls were also sweating, the air didnt get turned on until about 6 and the ceremony was set to start at 630. It started late not because of me but because the officiant that comes with the B&B and even owns it was 15-20 minutes late. Then his cell phone goes off during the ceremony and he made no attempt to stop it. Finally time for the reception and Kelly is already harassing me about making sure we leave on time. I'm sorry but do not bother the bride when she has a planner there with her talk to the planner. All night she kept coming to me with her assumed problems that could have easily been answered by the planner or my sister. She was extremely rude to my family. The sound system that they required I use crapped out during our first dance which was just great. Kelly seemed to disappear when that one happened. So please any bride looking at this place don't do it. Kelly the innkeeper will make it her absolute goal to ruin your evening. The only thing I can say that is good is my planner made the whole place look absolutely beautiful. And the room we staying that night was very nice with a good breakfast but that can never make up for how we were treated at our wedding.
We decided to plan a last-minute wedding, since all of our family would be in town for Christmas. With less than 2 weeks to plan the wedding, the staff at this beautiful Victorian mansion B&B made my dream wedding come true. We had the ceremony in the parlor of the mansion--it was a beautiful candlelight evening ceremony, and it was perfect. The couple that run the B&B, along with their grown daughter, made the entire planning process painless and worry-free. They handle the cake, the mini-reception, the flowers, and the photography. It all turned out so beautiful, the pictures were beyond belief perfect! On top of that, the wedding package included the wedding-night use of one of their fabulous cottages. I was able to get ready on the big day at the cottage, and then on our wedding night we enjoyed the romantic 3-room cottage with it's gas fireplace, heart-shaped jacuzzi tub for two, and enormous rain shower. Then to top it all off, they delivered a fantastic breakfast in bed that included hot-from-the-oven cinnamon rolls in the shape of a heart! If you are planning a small, intimate wedding (25 guests or less) and want a fairy-tale, then you HAVE to check into this B&B....I promise you won't be disappointed!
Our wedding was beautiful. The innkeepers are great people.
I loved the fact that the Bed and Breakfast we picked was as well a Historic Building it's a building from the 1800s and only had 3 owners. The little hotel was very romantic small but the rooms were big and guests that stayed there received personalized welcome heart shaped cookies and the breakfast was spectacular. The service is provided by the owners so it's warm and welcoming.;The B&B indoors social areas are quite small. We intended to have and outdoors wedding but we got heavy rain the previous day and some rain drops the same day of the wedding so we had to move everything inside. Thankfully it was a small wedding if not the guests would've been all cramped
