Oak + Ivy

ng the whole process and allowed my vision to come to life. You will not be disappointed if you choose to have your wedding here!

f were super friendly, helpful , pleasant and enjoyable! Helped to make the full experience 5 star! This was a great option for bride and grooms wedding! The building is beautiful; outdoor grounds ( pond, running brook, grass, flowers, etc) well maintained; bar space attractive and bathrooms super cute! Grooms room.. great place to spend the day having fun and relaxing! Bridegroom had everything we needed! Great choice! If you are looking for quiet country area with a beautiful building don’t miss seeing this venue!

ecommend, you won’t regret it!

is so popular but is definitely unique, setting itself apart from similar venues. The grand hall and bar area is very spacious, and the patio is beautiful especially at night with the lights and cozy fireplace. We used Lauren Grant as our day of coordinator, and we could not have done it without her! She was so helpful and attentive both during the weeks leading up to the wedding and the whole wedding weekend. We highly recommend this venue and the Oak + Ivy team!

end this venue and Lauren, the manager and our coordinator, enough. Highly recommend!

ozy feel to the venue is hard to find anywhere else in DFW. There are multiple locations at the venue where you can choose to get married, which was a big selling factor for us. Our guests were thrilled with the amount of space how beautiful the venue was. From the moment we first saw the venue to our wedding day, the Oak+Ivy team were extremely helpful, communicative, and made sure we were happy with everything. We used Lauren as our coordinator and she was excellent at making our vision come to life. I could not recommend this venue enough for any couple wanting to have a magical wedding day.

mony area, to the patio with the fireplace, the beautiful indoor venue hall, the getting ready suites, and so much more. Every little detail is absolutely stunning. Not only is the venue stunning, but the owners Brenda and Bud are the absolute best. They make your day feel so special and are so so accommodating. Lauren, the venue manager, is also absolutely amazing. She helped out so much throughout the entire day, answered all my random questions, calmed my nerves, and so much more! I am so thankful that she was there. Brenda, Bud, and Lauren all made my wedding day feel so special!! I cannot recommend Oak + Ivy enough to future brides!! I had my dream day at my dream venue!!

photos. The owners, Bud and Brenda, and the manager, Lauren, are genuine and trustworthy people. The communication between us was clear and we felt at ease knowing they had our best interests in mind. Every detail of the venue has been thoughtfully designed and includes stunning architectural elements. The layout of the facility takes full advantage of the scenic views and spectacular gardens. The venue exudes serenity and that feeling carried over into the emotions of the bride and groom, their families and their guests. We had access to the venue for the entire day and night. This was ideal because it allowed our daughter and her fiancé plenty of time to get ready with their wedding party while enjoying the ambience of Oak + Ivy. The bridal suite is stunning and luxe. Our photographer captured some beautiful pictures of the bride with her bridesmaids here. The groom's oasis is a generously sized man cave outfitted with a pool table, large television, and shower facilities. Lauren, the knowledgeable manager and day of coordinator, was amazing and helpful the entire way through the planning process. She was kind, responsive, and professional. Lauren went above and beyond to attend to every detail of the wedding, including helping with some emergency dress mishaps! I valued her emotional support and calm demeanor. The all-inclusive package option worked well for us since our daughter, her fiancé, and her fiancé’s family lived out of state. It saved us time and much of the planning stress was alleviated due to entrusting the selection of the vendors to Oak + Ivy. Our daughter and her fiancé were still able to customize their wedding and reception by choosing the menu, florals, decor, cake, and other details.

ighly recommend!

over again🥰 having a wonderful bridal suite and a fun grooms suite made for a great day of getting ready for all. Ample space to dance all night long and set the venue up to match your dream vision board

was exactly what we were looking for. When Lauren gave us a tour of the place, we fell in love! We were planning to get married during the summer, so we knew we would need to do a flip of the grand hall during cocktail hour. Lauren assured us that she had done many flips before and we hired Lauren to be our day of coordinator - best decision EVER! Bud, Brenda and Lauren were so patient and helpful throughout the entire process. We went up to the venue many times to try out different ideas and they always made us feel so welcome and at home. On the day of the wedding, Lauren went above and beyond to help our day run smoothly! Her expertise and experience helped make our day stress free. I am so thankful for Lauren, Brenda and Bud for providing us with a beautiful venue to celebrate our love!

ail hour was so much fun for people to walk around, take pictures and play games. Not to mention, the bridal suite is GORGEOUS and the boys loved their giant suite upstairs, including a large shower room. Could not have asked for a better venue ❤️

on is to possibly hire more people to do the switch over so that doesn’t take quite as long. It seemed like once the dancing part finally started it was over! Would still highly recommend this amazing venue.

I wanted my future wedding to be. Fast forward 2 years and it finally happened! Oak + Ivy was the perfect venue to hold our guest count. We loved the openness of the venue, the bride and groom's suites, the bar area, the covered patio, and all the greenery and trees that surround the venue. Lauren, the venue manager, was always quick to answer any questions for us prior to wedding day and always gave us great suggestions. On wedding day, Lauren, Barb and Bud were great help in making sure all things ran smoothly and managing the venue. They stayed until the very end. Oak + Ivy was everything I dreamed it would be and was the perfect ceremony/reception venue for my husband and I. We received so many compliments about the venue! Thank you Oak + Ivy for being apart of our special day!

othly, worked very well with all of our vendors and did whatever she could to make sure it was a perfect day! I highly recommend O+I!!!

ding to help. Lauren runs the venue and was also my month of coordinator and she went above & beyond for me! The venue itself is STUNNING. I wish I could go back and relive my wedding day all over again. The bridal suite is beautiful, and the grooms suite is great for the guys to get ready, relax, watch TV and play some pool. The outside of the venue made for beautiful pictures & getting married inside the venue with the barn doors open was an absolute dream of mine. Thank you Oak + Ivy for everything!!!!

STAFF matters! There is an option to do an outdoor ceremony or indoor and also a covered pavilion with lights and a fireplace for cocktail hour. We have some of the most majestic pictures outside in front of the trees! The bride’s room is spacious and has places for people doing hair and makeup. The groom’s area is the bomb with tv, gaming, pool table, foosball, and a separate entrance so they never come in contact w/ the bride and the guys want to stay there all day! The venue manager, Lauren, went above and beyond prior to the wedding and we hired her for the day of coordination as well. She helped not only coordinate but physically ran around all day helping get things set up and also during the entire evening. It was so it was perfect! She also took care of any little thing that came up and also made sure to confirm w/exit car and transportation that they were on their way and timing. Also owners Brenda and Bud are super nice and care and make you feel like your wedding is the only one that matters! This venue is just the perfect setup and location and I highly recommend it!

ally a bit jealous of cause it’s that awesome! You can’t go wrong with either choice of deciding to do your ceremony Inside or outside as both options are incredible and so beautiful. Myself and my now husband toured many venues and instantly looked at each other when we walked out of this venue and said THIS IS THE ONE! Lauren was also our coordinator and I could not have done this whole process without her and am happy to be able to now call her a friend! You will have the wedding of your dreams when you choose Oak + Ivy, guaranteed!

solutely stunning, but from a planner’s point of view, the people you work with make or break the experience. Brenda is such a kind person who goes out of her way to accomodate her couples and their vendor team. She was there on site during the day to assist in any way possible and even brought her own team to assist me with flipping the room from ceremony to reception. Brenda is a very hands on venue owner and just an overall kind and loving person. Ilove working with her!

ing. Lauren was our point of contact and day of coordinator and she was amazing. She was so helpful from the beginning to the end. The venue also has a sip and see I think twice a year and I highly recommend going to that. They have so many vendors there attending and you get to talk to them and it's a very helpful.

helped with some of the setup, I could have not picked a better venue!! I mostly worked with Lauren (different Lauren) on scheduling time to come visit the venue, schedule a date for my bridals and our rehearsal. Still dreaming about our perfect day!

our wedding there. The facilities and grounds are amazing, and Brenda radiates kindness through her interactions with everyone. Her trustworthiness led us to utilize almost her entire list of recommended vendors, which led us to have such a fantastic day. Thank you!

e Oak and Ivy team. The bridal suite was perfect for my group to get ready in and the bar/kitchen area has everything your vendors need for your day! We had an indoor ceremony and flipped the room to the reception. I was very nervous that the room flip would be complicated and stressful, but I was absolutely proven wrong! Flipping the room was no problem with the Oak and Ivy team and my reception was perfect! I cannot thank Brenda for going above and beyond for my wedding day. She was there for every text and answered every question I could think of! You cannot go wrong if you choose this sweet venue! Make sure you check out the sister venue, Manor 402 for your rehearsal dinner too!!!

has so many accommodations for bridal parties. Highly recommend!!

!!

unicating with us. The venue is BEAUTIFUL!! My family and groom and groomsmen loved the grooms space upstairs. This is a must SEE venue!! You won't regret getting married at this beautiful place!

and her team dealt with us so generously and graciously throughout the entire process. Our whole experience with Oak and Ivy was characterized by joy, peace and so much fun even amidst a pandemic. They get a 10/10 recommendation from us :)

is beautiful and the details, not only aesthetically, but so many details, you just need to experience, like the crushed granite on the walkway outside so the long dresses don't stain. This venue is one of a kind! The wedding party also enjoyed hanging out there all day and not driving from one place to the next. Highly recommend!

g. We got so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommend this venue for your special day. The venue team was amazing too, so nice and flexible!

nd excitement lights up their face when they show you the venue. They are the definition of someone that is doing this to help out their clients' experience and they are always so prompt to help you out if you have any questions. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The details inside and outside are so thought out and it made my wedding vision everything I could've ever imagined. We got married inside with the barn doors open and the light shining in was like a dream. The pictures turned out so incredibly gorgeous and I wish I could go back to that day & do it all again just to take it in one more time. I can promise you that you can not go wrong choosing Oak + Ivy. The venue itself is worth it but what sets it a part from others, are the people that make it all happen. And they alone make the choice even more of the right one! You will not be disappointed.

groom's room, and the grounds would make for some amazing pictures. Now, for the negative, and ultimately why my sister decided to go with a different venue. My mom, sister, and I arrived to our tour and met with Lauren, who was not wearing a mask. Being a year into a pandemic, this in and of itself was a bit shocking, but she then went into a speech about how she doesn't wear a mask and hasn't gotten COVID yet. She then said it would be impossible to do her job with a mask, which I find amusing, considering health care workers wear masks literally all day. It made for an uncomfortable situation, as my family was all wearing masks while Lauren clearly wasn't going to and thought the whole concept was silly. In the end, though the barn was beautiful, we didn't feel welcomed or safe, and there are several other gorgeous Aubrey barns to choose from.

ul farmhouse tables to the tiling on the floor. They truly care about the bride and groom and wedding party's experience, and that is built into the design and the space. The bridal suite and groom's suite are so conducive for spending a huge chunk of time getting ready during the day, for example. Even more special is the way the Bakers look out for their customers. Brenda went above and beyond making sure we were cared for and that the day was perfect. She was so helpful in answering questions quickly and with kindness; she has a genuine heart for her brides that was felt during planning. We are so grateful to have been able to get married there!

e there for me every step of the way through all my questions. They even put up some extra string lights on the patio to accommodate my wedding day vision. We got married on 10/10/2020 (during peak season on a Saturday) and the pricing was a bit more than surrounding venues that we toured, but knowing that this was a family owned venue and the personal level of service that we received made it absolutely worth it, especially while planning a wedding during COVID. You need to see this place in person - it is absolutely gorgeous and they are continuing to improve it and add more beautiful touches. Thank you Bud, Brenda, and Eva for our special day!!

but the best part of our experience was working with Brenda and Bud, the owners of the venue! They went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding ran smoothly! They were easily accessible and answered all of our questions timely, they let us visit the venue multiple times to talk through logistics with our day of coordinator and caterer, and they were present the day of our wedding to give us a hand with anything we needed! It is so evident that Brenda and Bud genuinely care about every couple that chooses their venue. They made us feel comfortable and celebrated along side us! My husband and I love reflecting on our wedding day, it was truly the sweetest and most fun day of our lives; we know that it would not have been possible with out the help and support of Oak + Ivy! You will not regret choosing this venue!!

ace! Thank you, Brenda and the staff at Oak + Ivy!

d it is a fantastic canvas for any kind of decor. Best of all, Brenda and Bud are so helpful in the planning process. From the moment we booked the venue, to the day of the actual wedding, they were so gracious and kind in answering all of the questions we had! Booking our wedding at Oak + Ivy made for the most relaxed, memory filled wedding day we could have possibly had!

o supportive of the entire process and made sure that we did not have to worry about a thing on our wedding day (even the wedding party was blown away by her kindness).

y role, I have a list of things that I look for in a venue: - Location: Just up the highway, and set back in some oaks. Incredibly beautiful location, and easy to get to. -Parking: PLENTY of parking! I hate when you go somewhere and feel like you won’t have anywhere to park. No problem here. -Price: Loved that the price was flat and there were other fees to utilize each of the different spaces/chairs/tables/etc. -Services & Amenities: Many people think that these types of venues are more expensive, but I chose Oak & Ivy because you can use your own vendors. You would be AMAZED at how much alcohol packages at other places will quickly drive up your total cost (seriously, if you think you’re saving by going with a cheaper venue, see how much you’ll pay in liquor/alcohol alone!) Plus, Bud and Brenda are a DREAM to work with. Super kind, accommodating, and solution-oriented. -Layout: So many options and incredibly spacious! They said the layout was created specifically with guests in mind. I wanted a big wedding, and they were able to comfortably accommodate 400+ people! -Ambiance: SO beautiful! Great lighting and beautiful natural light, and you have the gorgeous Texas outdoors all around. I wanted a moody wedding, so this was just perfect. I’ve also seen some gorgeous weddings on their Instagram that did the opposite of me! Also just want to give a shoutout to the groom’s suite. It’s good-looking and PERFECT for all the guys. My husband brought his corn hole set, but they also had pool and all the college football games on all day. Just an all around great place for the guys.

ite was fantastic, as there was ample space to hang out and relax before the wedding took place. The bridal suite was also great for all of the women to prepare for the evening. Even though the day was hot, they had A/C units that are brand new and up to the task, keeping a huge main room of 200+ people comfortable throughout the day and evening. In the days leading up to the wedding, Brenda was always available herself to cater to our requests and offer suggestions. The Oak + Ivy team was very flexible and great to work with! The location is gorgeous, and the ambiance carried over from the summer day in the country to an elegant evening with a Texan charm that can be unmatched anywhere. We highly recommend Oak + Ivy to anyone considering a venue for their family wedding! Thanks, Brenda and Bud, and God Bless!

upportive during a crazy wedding planning season due to Covid.

You will not be disappointed I promise!

hy I gave it 5 stars. First off the lighting inside is a photographers dream. The white walls and windows allow for great natural light photography. Great for videographers as well. The Brides and Grooms quarters are on separate floors and the decor is stunning with great lighting and lots of room for your bridal party. So its very easy to make sure they don't see each other. They are spacious and very well designed The floor plan is open so the ceremony can take place inside and be flipped after for the reception. AMAZING! It was a June wedding and the AC cooled the entire place down amazingly all night! Tons of places to photograph the couple, family and bridal party with different textures. Architectural features or nature this venue has it all! Most importantly this is a FAMILY run business and the owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed in every way. They put so much love and thought in to this venue and it shows. If you are looking for your dream venue with a pond, outdoor options and stunning amenities book this place now. - AL Gawlik Photography

best mirror in the bridal room! Brenda is so responsive, and made my job as the wedding planner such a breeze. I cannot wait to work my next wedding there
