Lone Star Mansion

hing they want to serve their guests! You can tell the staff takes pride in their venue and keeps the place very well maintained! If you want a quality place for a great price this is the venue to book your special day!

s, the few kids we had there felt they were in a fairy tale for a night. It truly was an amazing experience. I felt lost trying to find something I could do to help get things ready but everything was covered. All I had to do was sit back and watch my beautiful girl marry the man God chose for her.

arah and her team were very responsive to all my emails and phone calls throughout my planning process and were always able to answer all my questions! Unfortunately, I was forced to switch planners a few times I guess due to staffing. Alex got sick the day before my wedding and Sarah stepped in and saved the day but it would have been nice to have some continuity. But, the wedding day still went really well and even when things went wrong, I didn't know about it until after. Sarah kept us running on schedule and made sure everyone had a really fun time!

entire mansion and go where we wanted (we took advantage of the saunas in the man cave). This brings me to my husbands favorite part. The man cave is in the basement and has pool, a poker room, saunas (wet and dry), showers, a bar, and a huge tv, where they could play video games or watch cable tv. Overall, this was the perfect place to get married, and I couldn’t have imagined a better venue.

ngaged he had only three requests and the number one request was the only place we would even look at was the mansion. I could not be more pleased with our choice. Not only is the mansion its self worth every penny but the food was AMAZING. from the lunch provided by the staff to the dinner everything was PERFECT. having the option to be served lunch made for one less thing to worry about and as you get closer to the day that is just not something you need on your plate! we also loved that our friends had a great time. there was no stressing out trying to find room for people or things and our wedding party was able to enjoy this entire day with us! Sara and Alex were ANGELS, SERIOUSLY they were heaven sent. I could not imagine how my wedding day would have gone if it were not for those two! Thank you all so much! -Mr. and Mrs. Davis

e for our date. The months leading up to our wedding were so effortlessly planned with Sarah and Tigi that we felt so at ease during the planning process. The weekend of our wedding went so smoothly and we didn't need to lift a finger to take care of anything. The staff was incredibly friendly to us and our guests, the food was great and the venue itself was absolutely stunning. Our guests are still raving about Lone Star Mansion nearly three months after our wedding. I can't recommend Lone Star Mansion enough!

care they provide is amazing. On the big day everything was coordinated beautifully and throughout the entire night they made sure I was happy and always made sure I had everything I needed. They property is absolutely beautiful, my guests were in love with the mansion and the gorgeous ambiance it provides. And the food is delicious. We chose the Emilia Buffett (itialian) and we still hear about how incredible it was. We had our ceremony outside by the oak tree and our reception in the carriage house. All you need is one tour and you will know this is the perfect place for your big day!

something I would also recommend. From the day we booked Lone Star Mansion, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We got a few opportunities to go to open houses and put together our vision for the wedding. I also emailed Tigi (the event coordinator) many questions that she effortlessly answered (always in a timely manner). Having a day-of coordinator that already came included with Lone Star Mansion was a blessing, and having it be Tigi was just a bonus. Our wedding day ran very smoothly (even despite Tigi having to leave mid way through for a family emergency and passing the duty off to another staff member!) The entire staff is very competent and are experts at what they do. Special shout out to Tigi for climbing a very tall tree to retrieve a crashed drone, they really will do anything to help your day run smoothly!

te so much! These people are the best at providing everything you could ask for in a venue!

e being able to have the mansion all day!

smoothly and stress-free. My now husband and I were frequently out of the area during wedding planning due to job responsibilities, and Tigi made the planning process easy even though we couldn’t always be nearby. They were kind, courteous, professional, and patient with all our questions and requests. When we had an issue with contacting a vendor, Tigi contacted them to resolve the issue on our behalf. We had so many compliments on the food from our guests! My husband is a foodie so I knew we had to make sure our dinner was good, but it exceeded our expectations! We were thoroughly impressed with our experience with Lone Star Mansion and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a wedding venue.

are beautiful and well maintained. The house and grounds were available to us all day and there are even separate quarters for the groomsmen and bridesmaids to get ready which takes the hassle out of shuttling people to and from the facility. Upstairs, where the ladies got ready, there is a large room with mirrors, a tall closet, and plenty of outlets...perfect for hair and makeup. Downstairs in the basement the guys had a full bar, a pool table, big screen tv, poker table and a large sauna/shower room. The venue allows several different options for vendors and even has an in-house chef who thoughtfully prepared our lunch (day of) and delicious reception dinner with our wants in mind. Tigi and the staff are there for you every step of the way, from the big things to minor details, she made sure we did not have to worry about a thing on the big day or the months leading up. Not to mention, Tigi kept me worry-free by making herself readily available via email! Quick and timely responses really helped the coordinating and planning process. There was construction on the carriage house a few weeks before our wedding date and she made sure to keep us posted every step of the way... reassuring us that everything would be finished on time and of course... IT WAS! The day of the wedding everything goes by so fast, but Tigi was there to make sure we enjoyed every special moment we had planned. She kept all events running smoothly, we were actually ahead of schedule which left us extra time for dancing :) After things settled down we were welcomed back to the mansion and had cake served to our room with a bottle of champagne. In the morning we were greeted with breakfast and a couples massage! I honestly wouldn't have changed a thing about the venue or the staff. I have the best memories and pictures because of both, and not to mention EVERYONE who came (almost 200 people) commented on how beautiful the wedding was and how much fun they had. We had an amazing experience at the Lone Star Mansion and are looking for another excuse to go back!

ay of coordination was AMAZING. I felt like I could relax the entire day, never needing to make sure things were on time, etc. We stayed the night in the honeymoon suite and had breakfast in bed and a massage therapist come to our room-that was seriously the best way to end our wedding weekend. All of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was and how beautiful the venue is. It was the perfect place for our wedding and we are so grateful for the entire staff. I would recommend this venue to anyone searching for that perfect venue.

stay in the mansion on our wedding night. It was so nice not having to drive somewhere else. Tigi was the best wedding coordinator I could've asked for. She answered all of my questions, made sure our wedding day ran smoothly, and was always listening to my needs and wants with a smile. After our wedding was over, I was sad that I wouldn't get to talk to Tigi and Sarah on the regular. Our wedding was a fairytale, thanks to Lone Star Mansion, and a day we constantly want to relive!

yone and everyone about this wedding venue! If I could give 100 stars I would!!

solutely peace that the ceremony and reception would run smoothly. Example: I never coordinated who would be passing out the cake after it was cut, and the Lone Star team took it upon themselves to serve the cake. I look back on my wedding SO fondly and cannot think of a single mishap, and this venue is the main reason why. They never overstepped, and only wanted me to have the most perfect day ever and I DID!

ding day was amazing and all of our guests raved about the venue! Lone Star Mansion is amazing and a great decision to make for your wedding!!

rying about it. It was a smooth day! We Loved having access to the mansion for the full day to get ready and pamper ourselves! I would love an excuse to have another event at this place

of pretty spots for our wedding photos which was extremely important to me. You also have to do the catering through their chef and we picked the Italian menu. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how good the food was! The venue has a wow factor to it and they just recently upgraded the carriage house for the reception which turned out so beautiful. They also have a helicopter landing pad which we took advantage of for our exit. The majority of our guests were all from out of state and we wanted them to love our Texas wedding. We got so many compliments and everyone thought the venue had such a wow factor. I am so happy we picked Lone Star Mansion. Thank you so much for making our most important day flawless!

erything was. Thank you to the entire staff at the mansion for making our day a wedding to remember.

ing a stunning backup indoor option made this the perfect venue for planning a spring wedding in Texas. I honestly could not have imagined our day going any smoother. Tigi kept the whole day in line and ensured that we didn't miss a beat. The entire crew and staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Their in house catering was also great. We went with the Italian buffet option, and our guest raved about it! Tigi is also such a blessing to have. I decided to not get a wedding planner, but I didn't even need it because Tigi was so helpful. She was able to give great recommendations, answer all my crazy questions, and also just keep me calm through the whole process. This team really thinks of everything- including champagne and wedding cake waiting in the honeymoon suite! I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who wants a beautiful, elegant, southern wedding.

nsion with picturesque fountain in front, we knew it was the one. If you want a "wow-factor" wedding, this is the place for you. It is classic and traditional, but really just a clean slate to decorate and make your own. And if the beautifully maintained and curated grounds were not enough, the customer service that is provided by Tigi and Sara are TOP NOTCH. I cannot stress this enough. They are the sweetest people to work with but also extremely professional: they answered all of my questions and were an integral part of our wedding day by orchestrating the timeline and details to perfection. Having someone you can trust to make sure everything is going smoothly is a HUGE part of your wedding day as you do not want to be worrying about the tiny details - you want to be focused on getting married and all of those great emotions! If I had to re-plan my wedding, I would choose to get married at Lone Star Mansion again and again as it really is the perfect venue.

eived endless complements from guests on how beautiful the venue was and how good the food was. I also felt like the package that we purchased was very reasonably priced for everything that we got. Sometimes wedding venues that offer packages that include food, drinks, and a day of coordinator can feel restrictive. Almost as if you're picking off a list pre-planned weddings. One of the reasons we chose Lone Star is that they offered packages that made planning convenient but they still allowed for us to customize everything without up charging us. We sat down with the chef and planned our menu from scratch and were allowed to buy our own alcohol resulting in a truly unique food and drink menu. If you're looking for a mansion style venue I absolutely recommend Lone Star!

g! Tigi was so helpful and positive throughout our engagement and the planning process and was the one who kept everything together on our wedding day. She answered all of my questions very quickly (and I had many). She did a great job creating a schedule and reception floorplan for us. She was wonderful day of when she helped guide us through our wedding day schedule. I would not have even thought about cutting the cake or doing toasts if it wasn't for her! She helped gently keep us on track while giving us the opportunity to have a great time. All of the little details were taken care of flawlessly, down to the small things that I would never have thought of. The food at our reception was incredible. We chose Italian, so I can't speak for any of the other meals the chef provides, but ours was fantastic. We had so many compliments on the food, and the groom and I both agreed it was delicious. I was very impressed with the quality of the food considering it was made for 200 people. Our wedding day really could not have been more perfect - looking back there is really nothing I would have changed, and nothing at all went wrong. This was in large part due to the Lonestar Mansion and everything they did for us. I HIGHLY recommend Lonestar Mansion!

anagement promised lots of things that ended up being lies, but Tigi was very upfront about the truth once she took over and did her best to fix things. 1) The reception area did not end up looking the way it was promised to us in pictures and design by the previous management. However, Tigi, our florist, photographer, band and other vendors did an amazing job saving the situation and making it beautiful. Our wedding was even featured on a national blog/magazine recently so they did a great job. I will say though, Tigi and Sara have renovated the carriage house now and it looks gorgeous and exactly how I wanted it on my wedding day. 2) Tigi and Sara are amazing. We still have people telling us (over 1 year later) that our wedding coordinator Tigi was so organized and on top of everything. Given the initial rough start with previous management, Tigi allowed my mom and I to visit the venue multiple times throughout the year (and sometimes even show up unannounced) so we could think about the flow of the wedding day, decorations, etc. In my experience, she returned phone calls, emails and texts quickly and always tried to make me feel better after the rough start. I would highly recommend this venue given the new management and especially with all the renovations. I wish I could relive the day all over again.

ding I have ever attended.

area and I wanted something I hadn't seen yet. I had no idea this venue was in the area! As soon as I emailed I got a response quickly from Sara with availability to visit. Myles and I fell in love. It's a wedding photography dream to say the least. We were looking for a space that 1) had a nice backup rain ceremony area incase of bad weather- check. 2) allowed us to come early and get ready 3) had an amazing ceremony area- oak tree- bing bing bing!! Yep, we changed our venue to LSM. We booked when they had the overnight package so we were able to stay in the bridal suite the night of the wedding. Tigi & Sara were so perfect. They answered any questions we had via email as soon as we emailed. Tigi was the sweetest with our wedding party (of 24 plus some!) and they allowed us to have my brother's great dane as the ring bearer. Outside of course. The whole day was a dream. We were able to spend lots of time in the groomsmen and bridal suite before the wedding just relaxing with our favorite people and soaking up the day. Sara made us breakfast the next morning and helped us load all the last minute things into our cars. They have turned into close friends and that's not the last time I will see them. Thanks Ladies and staff for the best day to remember. Love- Beth & Myles Teteak

in the small details that mattered most. I love The Mansion itself as well as the grounds. Everything is so well maintained and beautiful; it is almost like stepping into a fairy tale land. I will definitely use The Mansion again in the future for any big events I have and I will tell everyone I know about the amazing experience we had. Thank You to all those that were involved with making my event a spectacular event that is still being talked about almost a month later! Ya'll Rock! If your looking for a wonderful venue, The Mansion is the place to be!

ry request. Steven, the chef, does the most amazing job with the catering. We received so many compliments on the food and the overall atmosphere. Our guests felt at home and said there was more than enough space for every guest. The main house is so perfect. The bridal suite has every amenity that you can think of. The groom's suite is a serious man cave. Our wedding party was very well taken care of. If you are looking for a country glam/glamorous/outdoor/indoor/any type of wedding, you need to go look at this venue. It is completely worth the trip.

and the rest of the staff were amazing, they treated us like family. Tigi and Sarah answered any questions I had in such a timely manner. Not only are they great coordinators, they also know the best vendors. Every vendor recommended by Sarah and Tigi were reasonable, professional , and all top rated. The day of the wedding went on without a hitch. Tigi and Sarah made sure the wedding ran timely but also allowed my husband and I to have as much one on one time with each other as we needed. Most of my guest spoke highly about Lonestar Mansion, but so many of our guest gushed about the food. The food was fresh, moist, with plenty of options. It's a great feeling when your guests speak highly about the food. I would recommend all brides and grooms to visit Lonestar Mansion. You will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a venu that focuses on the bride and groom's needs and wants, Lonestar Mansion is the venu for you. I am forever greatful for Sarah and Tigi, they both made me feel like a princess the whole day and both made my special day magical.

t a lot for the amount you pay. The chef did a great job, the food was amazing! It was great to have the venue most of the day and there is so much space to get ready! The mansion really was a perfect venue for our wedding day and our guests loved the venue! I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding day and the mansion played a huge role in making our day perfect!!!

hey would be able to provide long rectangular tables and tablecloths (Harry Potter style with tables going the length of the room and 1 head table perpendicular to the rest). Several months after booking, their management changed and Tigi was my new point of contact. As soon as Tigi found out my expectations she alerted me that they didn't have those tables or tablecloths and hence they weren't able to provide them. For me to get the look I wanted, I either needed to shell out another grand with a rental company or find a new venue with only 6 months left till our date. We opted for working with a rental company but I was very upset. For the cost of this venue, I felt like I had been led to believe that something I was very excited about (the table settings) was going to be included and instead I was forced to spend a pretty penny to get it. To their credit, the venue did set up the rentals at no charge. Another snafu happened when the bartender that the Mansion required you to use stopped returning my calls. I left them several emails and phone calls and alerted the Mansion to this problem twice before the Mansion gave me a secondary vendor that I could use. By using the bartender as a required vendor for a service, you're vouching for them and they were terrible. On the actual day of the wedding, Tigi and Sara, the new General Manager, were there as day of coordinators. They were very helpful although hard to find at times. We had an emergency where the arch rental company claimed they didn't receive payment and weren't sending an arch and the Mansion was able to buy an arch and put it together in time for the florist to decorate it before the ceremony (of course, at an additional cost). I feel like a lot of the add-on costs were nickel-and-diming you but it's your wedding and you're going to shell out to get your dream. They do require you to use their florist and caterer. The florist is her own company so I'll review her there (The Elegant Petal). The catering was good. The food was solid, some dishes better than others. The soup was impeccable (highly recommend the lobster bisque). The wait staff (plated courses) was slow and inaccurate. They didn't know who ordered what ever though there was assigned seating and the Mansion had that information. Many guests complained that they got their food mixed up with someone else's. I heard servers asking guests what they ordered and guests who RSVP'd over a month ago just don't remember that kind of information, especially if they ordered for kids too. All around, I think their wait staff could use improvement. They also threw out 1 tier (my favorite tier) of cake since they didn't have cake boxes and my cake company apparently hadn't provided them. It seems like something they should keep on hand just in case. The Mansion package includes the night there for the bride and grooms, breakfast and a 1 hour massage (divided between the 2 of you) in the morning. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast simple but tasty, and the massage was very good (my husband gave me the hour). They did gift you a large bottle of champagne in the room and they sent up a slice of each kind of cake for us since we requested that. All in all, seemed mediocre for the price.

did a phenomenal job with our menu. For cocktail hour, he created a gorgeous cheese and fruit spread with carved fruit, and our dinner was absolutely delicious. Guests who attended our wedding could not stop raving about how perfect everything was, and I owe it ALL to Tigi, Sarah and Hannah from Lone Star Mansion. Every single detail that I could have wanted was hit by the staff at Lone Star. Throughout the entire planning process, Tigi was available 24/7 and able to calm my nerves and help me feel that everything would run smoothly. She and her team, did just that. I feel like Lone Star Mansion is a hidden gem in the DFW area and I am so happy that we had the privilege to get married and have our reception there. Stunning and over the top wonderful! I would recommend this venue to ANYONE. I can guarantee that you will not find a better staff to assist you in your most important day!

y, and put me at ease. The bridal suite is wonderful and the girls really enjoyed having the space and time to get ready. The Man Cave was fun for the men also. The food was awesome and all the staff was accommodating. I would highly recommend this place.

yee of Lonestar works to make this venue the perfect place for your special day. Book here, and prepare for the delightfully relaxing fairy tale wedding you've always dreamed of.

ng. The staff was wonderful. Planning the wedding was made less stressful simply because the staff answered emails and phone calls in a timely manner. It was a wonderful experience.

rything and the beauty of the place speaks for itself. Lifetime of memories.

rried! :)

vance, and in that time the staff changed quite a few times. This caused things to be extremely chaotic and unorganized. A few of the staff members, Michael and Liz, were extremely rude to me and my family at times. Leading up to the wedding I didn't really know how everything would turn out. I even had to speak to the owner about how I was being treated. However, the last on site coordinator, Sara, helped to make my wedding day go so smoothly. She was absolutely amazing. If it wasn't for her the whole day could have been a disaster. It was more than I ever dreamed of and people went on and on about how gorgeous the venue was. My advice is that you do not book here unless Sara will be apart of your wedding day. If Sara is there, you are in GREAT hands.

fuse to the alarm but there was nothing more he could do because the house didnt have an alarm, so there wasnt a company to call. That same night, we were invaded by a family of racoons (or something) who wanted to run a marathon across the attic. We didnt get any sleep the night before the wedding & the next morning Michael simoly laughed & said, he turned off the fuse & would report the rodent problem. The night after the wedding (our honeymoon) the house was sprayed by skunks. My wedding dress & all of our belongings smelled strongly of skunk. Michael arrived Sunday morning & said "thats country life." When I reported this to upper management, (Jed) although responsive, he offers no remorse. There are excuse, after excuse. I asked for return of our deposit & he is denying we ever paid one, even though our contract states that we did, the person we orginally worked with (Jake) was "fired for fraudulant activity" according to Michael, so now Jed is not honoring our agreement with his employee. Its a Brides NIGHTMARE!! Beautiful, yes...service, HORRIBLE, UNPROFESSIONAL & you are treated as if you did something wrong to them when clearly every bride & groom deserves rest the night before there wedding, a decent honeymoon w/o smelling like skunks & a return on their deposit, regardless of what you THINK was or wasnt done on behalf of a "fraud/termed employee." I DO NOT RECOMMEND simply because if something goes wrong, there is no responsibilty, you are treated very poorly and made to feel as if they owe you nothing to accomodate you. To date, this isnt resolved because managemnent is only willing to accept responsibility for things they assumed happened, yet they were not there & want to believe their staff. They are overlooking the fact that our honeymoon was also ruined by skunks, I was sick after the fact and EVERYTHING we brought with us REEKED of skunk. A wedding is a ONCE IN A LIFETIME event, we cant get our rehersal night or honeymoon back. Thanks...for ruining it & only offering to pay for one nights stay-the night before the wedding. What a JOKE!. (We were married on 3/14/15.)

as looking for either a mansion or a hotel ballroom. When I came across the Lonestar first thing was the location , most venues this high in class are in down town Dallas . The mansion is located in Burlison Texas, I live in Ft worth so I was so glad to find something I wanted That was close and you would never expect to find a venue like this in Burleson .. It's like Burleson Texas hidden secret. I had three venues in mind the Lone Star was one of them and are first stop after the tour of the Manison me and my now husband were sold.. I member him saying.. Will take it lol and of course I was ecstatic. The vendor list they offer are all top notch and if you want a different vendor or take something out of the package completely you're able to I love the flexibility of that. But really you won't need to find a different vendor they are an amazing team and because of that the flow of everything goes extremely well the actually mansion staff is amazing Laurel is the best, she treats you as if you were friends not just someone renting the venue out. The Chef Tom is a awesome cook.... Basically any food you want he can make and it's all high quality. I'm so happy I chose the Lonestar mansion and I think this is the absolute perfect venue if you want a very elegant classy wedding that no guest will forget the beauy of it on your wedding night or day, mansion staff and vendors wouldn't have it any other way. More and more mansion venues are popping up but this one will stand out form the rest. We also got the pleasure of meeting the owners who are husband and wife they were there for our wedding and they were also a huge help on the wedding day I never seen owners of a place like this be so hands on. The wife actually was the one that turned down are bed for the evening and layed out the most beautifl white rose on our bedside. The little touches just make it all the better :) The venues is drop dead gorgeous the staff is amazing the vendors are top notch and they all work together as a team to make the bride and groom have the wedding of there dreams. Thanks you to all the staff and vendors the chef and cooks and the owners of the Lonestar Mansion I had the wedding of my dreams!

professionals and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Lonestar Mansion as a wedding/reception venue!

itself is historic, AMAZINGLY beautiful, comfortable, homey, welcoming, serene, and literally breath-taking. We were married there in 2005, and to this very day, our friends and families talk about the venue, the ceremony, and the reception. Our guests still describe our wedding as "unbelievable", "perfect", "a blast", "the best wedding they have ever been to or even heard about", and so on. We all had the time of our lives! When we think back on the days prior to our wedding, the day of the wedding, and the day following, we can't help but smile and get tears in our eyes. The Lone Star Mansion staff members were very real, honest, professional, friendly, and fun. Our coordinator was spectacular, our planner was brilliant, and our minister was fabulous. Plus, the food was delicious, and the entertainment was phenomenal! We were married at age 27 and had both been to numerous weddings prior to ours and have continued to attend wedding after wedding as guests or as part of the wedding party. And, not even one of these weddings came within shades of ours in terms of overall goodness. As I write this review, I am worried that my words sound boastful, but I cannot take any credit. And, although it may be tempting to assume that Jeff and I are just partial, I can promise you that is not the case. Our wedding was not only incredibly special because of the meaning of the day itself, it was remarkable because of Lone Star Mansion! A GREAT BIG Thank you to Patricia, Sue, Katoya, Marty, Vince, and many other extraordinary professionals for making that day in June so marvelous, so memorable, and so profound! Sincerely, Wendy & Jeff

ver hold a sacred place in my heart. I whispered the most precious vows to my husband, had ALL my family under one roof & just had the most spectacular day of my life.Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Anne & Derick
