Where do I begin, when Kyle and I decided that we were going to start looking for a a venue we looked all over the DFW area. My dream venue was a white chapel with natural lighting, rustic, has a reception hall onsite, a bridal/grooms suite, an...
d have a Texas feel to it! Well, let me just tell you, RGE was all of that plus more. In the DFW area you have tons of options, however for us it is all about the connection we make with the vendors and where we could envision ourselves getting married with our closest families and friends. Well, at our initial tour one of RGE's team members, Toni, completely won me over with her sweet personality. What also won us over was the double doors in the chapel, the beautiful hardwood floors, and being able to stand up on the stairs with my husband and envisioning our friends and family being there. We also loved the silos, the longhorns, hello Texas atmosphere! Of course they had the rustic barn where we held our reception and beautiful bridal suite. To say the least, it felt like the perfect decision for us, RGE was the perfect team. They were responsive any time I needed to see the venue, which was more than a dozen times, they responded quickly, and when it came down to my bridal moments, they also were the best gals to reassure me when needed. To say the least, if you are looking for a beautiful white chapel, rustic barn, basically a traditional Texas wedding, RGE is just that. They also are also affordable and have the best staff. Thank you RGE for helping to make our big day such a dream come true!
We weren’t going to pay for a “real” wedding venue until we saw this one. They were willing to work with us a little to shoehorn it into our budget and we are so glad we did. Rustic Grace is great for a laid-back couple like we were - the place...
is so pretty we honestly didn’t have to dress it up much with decorations, and the office crew was easy to work with and very nice. They’re not super involved day-of, which was only a problem for us insofar as we had to ask friends of ours to help manage trash - not exactly ideal, but I imagine most couples with slightly bigger budgets will have caterers do that. The hands-off thing was otherwise fine by me since I’m naturally very organized and we preferred to save the money and do it all ourselves. Besides that - we really couldn’t have been happier with how easy and beautiful Rustic Grace made our day. And the pictures are STUNNING. Overall, definitely recommend this venue!
Rustic Grace was the first venue we toured, and we fell in love with it! The chapel is absolutely stunning, and the barn was the perfect place for our reception. From the day we booked to our wedding day, the staff was wonderful, answered all o...
ur questions, and was there every step of the way. I'd recommend this venue to anyone!
Any questions?
Rustic Grace Estates was amazing to work with. They responded to emails in a timely matter and worked well with us. Laci, the day of coordinator was so kind and attentive. She communicated very well and was awesome! The owners even called the l...
onghorns to be a part of the pictures. Overall, I was amazed and so happy with the service at Rustic Grace. I am so glad we chose them to be our venue. The place itself is stunning with all the details!
I only wish I could give them another star. Every single thing about this venue and those who run it went PERFECT. This venue its self is so beautiful and was so perfect for my daughters wedding. The owners and staff were so nice and so prof...
essional. Outside of the security cost for those serving alcohol there are no extra cost. It is a complete package.
I owners and staff were over the top accommodating, helpful and a complete delight to work with. As MOB I was also wedding coordinator so I had a lot of questions. Toni was so wonderful and patient with every call and question. She gave me so many suggestions on things I would have never thought of that were so helpful.
I was amazed at the details they have thought through and provide. The chapel, the barn, the silos, the bridal suite...everything was top notch. Thank you to all i worked with.
The venue is breathtaking, from the beautiful chapel to the gorgeous brick silos and vintage barn! The bridal suite is spacious and the lighting is amazing as well as the view! I did all the planning without the help of an even planner. I had a...
lot of questions and the venue was so helpful in pointing me in the right direction. The day of was very stressful for me but our venue attendant (Antonia) went above and beyond in making sure it went smoothly and any questions or concerns I had were answered. Other than being helpful she was so kind which made everything even better. Our day was beautiful and our guests loved the spacious reception area!!!
I could not have asked for a better venue for my wedding day! The service and help was amazing! They gave us a list of vendors that also helped make the planning so much easier!
Let me start off with this Venue is such a beautiful building BUT when booking with this place its all you get. From day one I was under the impression that I would have help "every step of the way" as they put it in the tour that they provided...
. Each time that I had a question I was meet with the same response of see the list of venders we provided. We had reached an agreement that I would be able to place some wine bottles as decorations during the reception moments after they were put out they were picked up by the venue staff. Same staff member who I was told was our day of coordinator that was more of a babysitter didn't do anything to help anyone in any way. I had to ask this employee 3 times to lower the AC as many of my guests were fanning them selves with our wedding programs because of how hot it was. Also note this venue does not have a refrigerator at all, when I asked why I was told one ever had an issue or need for it (find it hard to believe). If we had not rented an Air BnB 5 minutes away my cake would have melted. To top it all off no one could hear the DJ to the point that I had to yell out to get everyone's attention to please sit down so that My Husband and I could be introduced if it wasn't for the DJ himself bringing in his own speaker no one would have heard any other music that night. So many details about this place left me very disappointed as I mentioned its just a beautiful building that you are getting. Shop around there are plenty of venues in this area that provide such a better wedding day experience.
Absolutely stunning venue that I highly suggest if you are going for the rustic look. Antonia and Abby were so helpful through the entire process and answered any questions I had so quickly. The property is just beautiful and loved the separate...
chapel and the reception barn. RGE has hanging lights and chandeliers so I truly only brought a handful of decor because the area is beautiful already. Cannot recommend enough!
We immediately fell in love with this venue. One of the reasons I loved it was because the venue did not require a lot of decor. Its beauty spoke for itself. The staff were amazing and communication with them was a breeze. Don't let this gem pa...

This venue is breath-taking! There are so many ways to accent their already beautiful facility or go with the natural elegance built into the location. The landscape makes for a vibrant background with multiple options. The staff were always ve...

I can't say enough about this venue!! It blew away my other options. From the beautiful chapel to the lovely lake/longhorn view outside. Perfect locations for pictures. Inside the barn is completely updated, with beautiful light fixtures. Commu...

We loved Rustic Grace! They staff were so friendly and helpful from start to finish. Everything at Rustic Grace is so beautiful. This was our dream wedding. As soon as we walked on the property, we knew this was where our wedding had to be. We ...

Rustic Grace is ALL around AMAZING! It was everything I dreamed of and more! Not only was it the perfect magical, romantic, cozy, rustic chique I was looking for, the staff was AMAZING to work with! I am from California and planned my wedding f...
rom afar (in Texas) in a short 6 month period. Joy and Antonia were always SO quick at responding and getting back to me if I ever needed anything. And they recommended so many great vendors on top of it that made my planning even easier. Not to mention, it is such a beautiful area and the chapel is to die for! So many of our guests commented on the venue and how perfect it was. Thank you Rustic Grace and all involved, you are all amazing! I wish I could give you more than 5 stars.
I fell in love with the Rustic Grace about 3 years ago, as soon as my fiancé and I got engaged I knew we had to get married there! The chapel is absolutely breathtaking! The silos are a new addition, which makes for a massive bridal suite! The ...
venue is magical, and the venue staff is amazing as well. They are all very quick to respond and gave me updates through this COVID process. They had all the safety precautions in place, and sent us all the guidelines well in advance. There is no place I would have rather gotten married.
Rustic Grace was everything I was looking for in a wedding venue. The chapel is gorgeous with the wood floors and chandeliers and the barn has that rustic, country feel that my husband and I love. Antonia and Joy were kind and helpful every ste...
p of the way. They were quick to respond to my emails and questions and so kind. The owner was flexible and understanding when we had to move our wedding date. I loved that the venue had longhorns and really wanted pictures of them in the background. The owner came out and brought them closer to us. I cannot say enough good things about Rustic Grace. Everything about the place is wonderful. I would recommend Rustic Grace to anyone.
Love Rustic Grace Estate! It is absolutely the perfect place to get married. Best amount of time for your money, prettiest location, nicest staff, just what I needed. I really loved working with the staff. They always respond to emails quickly,...
and treat you as a priority. Also the bride's getting ready room is GORGEOUS and some of my favorite bridal portraits were in it. 100% recommend this venue!
Such a beautiful location! The staff is so friendly, and amazing at answering emails promptly. Even during COVID and all its restrictions RGE staff was great to work with and our wedding was beautiful. I would highly recommend this venue!
The staff is SO helpful and kind and do whatever it takes to make sure your day is the most special it can be!
We were married at RGE in the peak of COVID-19, and they were beyond helpful in helping us reschedule our reception and even use the venue for a 10 person private ceremony. Beautiful venue and even better people who manage it.
This venue was so perfect! It has everything you need for a great wedding. Great location and options for indoor/out door ceremonies. The vendors they work with made my wedding excellent. Beautiful scenery, great for photos.
My husband, Jeff, and I got married a few weeks ago at Rustic Grace Estate. We absolutely LOVED it. The staff was fantastic. Toni was just the best-- she went above and beyond before, during, and after the wedding. She was so responsive and he...
lpful, and really felt like a friend through this process. The venue is gorgeous and so well kept. We got so many compliments on the buildings and grounds. The chapel reminded us of an intimate little church overlooking a lake. The barn and silos have so many twinkly lights and give off a very romantic feel. The bridal suite is perfect and feels like a Cinderella castle. Groom's suite had an xbox which was great for the guys. We just loved having our wedding here!
We just got married here a few days ago and we had the BEST experience. The brand new Silos are beyond gorgeous, and honestly the bridal suite cannot be beat! The windows in the suite create the perfect lighting for your hair and makeup artists...
to work their magic, the suite is spacious and the bathroom in there is huge and has a big beautiful shower, and my bridesmaids from out of town LOVED watching the longhorns from all of the windows.
Toni was with us all day, and was making sure everything went as planned from the get-go (there were a few instances where she spoke up for me without me knowing, that I found out about after it was all said and done which is what you need on your big day!)
Needless to say, to get such a big beautiful venue for such an affordable rate (ask about the teacher discount!) is basically unheard of nowadays. I HIGHLY recommend RGE!!!
This venue is incredible on so many levels.
I could E-mail them questions and have answers within a day, sometimes within hours. If I was interested in having something different (a coffee/tea bar), they gave me suggestions based on past weddi...
ngs. It was so easy to double-check and confirm what we were planning met their requirements (send off, etc).
*****Everything was in the contract; there was no fine print and zero surprises.****
I could rave about this space for days. The chapel is so simple and elegant, I didn't even bother with decorations (they would detract). The staff helped make sure our rehearsal in the morning went smoothly, including having one of our friends run the sound booth. The staff made our party feel welcome and loved from the moment my fiancé and I stepped on site.
The barn radiates a down-to-earth feel. It made a great back drop for some of our photos. The reception lighting keeps everything vibrant but not overwhelming (holla for dimmable lights!). I'm not sure what else I need to say in this review to tell you this place is LIT. It is the BOMB DOT COM.
Bonus: Our DJ (Loud and Clear) gave us a discount because he has DJed so many events at this location. Just sayin'...

irl. The barn was great- the new Silos provided just the right about of extra space. The brick Silos with the wooden Barn perfectly blended the two styles I love. Our main venue coordinator, Joy, was an absolute joy to work with- no pun intended!! She was sweet, timely with communication, and so incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding. We loved RGE and all the people connected with it!
Rustic Grace Estate is the most beautiful place I could’ve imagined to have our wedding. There is plenty of natural light in the chapel and barn, and the bridal suite is amazing! It was very windy on our wedding day, but there were plenty of pl...

I was just married here February 2019. This venue is incredible! It’s beautiful, the staff are amazing, and my guests loved it! I can’t rave enough about The Rustic Grace. I felt like it was everything I wanted for my wedding day!

This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we know we made the right decision in choosing our forever to start there.

The staff was quick to respond to our questions, had no issues with changing the date, and quick to make adjustments. On the day of, Toni was amazing. She was incredibly helpful and answered all of our questions which helped our day run smoothly and seamlessly. My wedding day exceeded my dreams, and that is in large part thanks to Rustic Grace Estate.
We fell in love with this venue the moment we stepped on to the property. We booked the venue before the silos were added on and trusted that it would turn out beautiful when it was all completed. We were blown away by how much character and ch...
arm the silos added to the venue. Joy was incredible throughout the whole process. She was always patient and willing to answer all of my questions. She allowed my mom and I to come out to the venue several times to take measurements, take photos, and see the progress of the additions. Rustic Grace was the perfect venue for our special day and the staff made it better than we could have imagined.
We LOVED RGE! From the venue itself to the staff, everything was wonderful. They were so friendly, helpful, accommodating, and hardworking. The silos were still under construction at the time of our wedding, but they were so willing to listen t...
o any suggestions or requests we had and we were even able to use the silo for the food area. Kevin, Joy, Katrina and Toni were always very responsive and super easy to work with.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Rustic Grace Estate on 5-11-17. We loved everything about the venue. Initially, I wanted a destination wedding on the beach. I started looking around locally and that's when I found Rustic Grace on the kn...
ot. The pictures of the chapel and barn sold me and I no longer wanted a beach wedding. The property is beautiful! Very rustic and country. The chapel is gorgeous, you will barely need any decor for the chapel. All my guests loved the venue, especially seeing the lorn horns on the property.
The Rustic Grace answers your emails within a timely manner and will always work with any of your concerns. Joy was great to work with. They will allow you to have a 2-hour photo shoot before your wedding. My husband and I did our photo-shoot a couple days before the wedding. We had our first look 2 days before and were able to get a ton of pictures done. This way on the day of the wedding, we were able to enjoy our time with our family and friends.
I can't say enough about the Rustic Grace Estate. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a rustic/ country wedding.
My husband, Andrew and I married at Rustic Grace on March 2nd 2017. I would HIGHLY recommend Rustic Grace. I found the venue on theKnot.com and I loved the pictures. The venue was exactly what I was looking for. Andrew and I drove an hour early...
Saturday morning to get a tour of the venue. I fell in love with the venue even more - seeing it physically. I think the thing that really sold me was the management of the venue. A family owns the property. It was obvious that they care about ALL of their couples and try their best to give them their money worth. I've heard crazy stories about some of the other venues in the DFW area. When I emailed other venue's they didn't email me back right away, they didn't seem to care that I was looking into their venue. With Rustic Grace, I always got a response within 24 hours, sometimes even quicker. Most importantly they were EXTREMELY patient with us. We signed a contract to have a wedding in October 2017, but due to special family members being in the Military and a due date in mid April we had to change the date to March. We changed the date three times and they were extremely gracious and understanding. I didn't have a wedding coordinator, but Toni helped us run through the rehearsal. She was fantastic. If it wasn't for her our wedding would not have run as smoothly as it did. Rustic Grace is a perfect name for the venue because it is very rustic and beautiful and the management is definitely FULL of grace. It's rare to find a venue that is beautiful AND genuinely cares for each couple.
Another plus was that Andrew and I felt like we didn't need to decorate too much because the venue is so beautiful especially with all of the lights hanging up in and outside the barn. For the ceremony we built a cross and had mason jars with flowers down the isle. For the reception we had a PVC pipe photo booth and mainly just decorated the tables. You'll save money with this venue because it's so beautiful it doesn't need much to decorate it.
Absolutely perfect venue for an elegant yet rustic wedding! Kevin and I had an absolutely amazing time at our wedding. The bridal suite is a great size - we had a makeup artist, hair stylist, myself, my mom, and my 6 bridesmaids all in there co...
mfortably with a full bathroom. Kevin and his 6 groomsmen and 2 users as well has both of our fathers got changed in the groom's room. The staff is extremely helpful with planning as well as providing a preferred vendor's list which we planned almost our entire wedding from.
I can not express what a wonderful venue this is and how friendly the staff is. It truly made my wedding planning so much easier with how flexible they are with the vendors you can bring in and not having to use set vendors like most venues req...
uire.
Such a great venue. Antonia helped us with all of our questions. One part that sold us on this venue was that they only hold one wedding a day. You shouldn't spend your wedding day stressed about time.
The only negative factor was the venue ...
didn't allow candles as decorations and were restrictive on what you could do as you exit (no sparklers, no flowers, etc.)
This was a wonderful spot to have our wedding. We both wanted a lovely outdoor fall wedding with seasonal decor and Rustic Grace fit the bill. A few notes:
-They will put up a personalized sign with your name and wedding date that you get to t...
ake home. Not only was this a nice surprise, it fit perfectly with our decor.
-They have several rules which they enforce strictly. No candles, no real flowers outside. The biggest hassle for us was no leaving items overnight. I understand why they do it, but it made coordinating our linen pickup more challenging.
-The staff is a joy to work with and they quickly respond to emails. They definitely go the extra mile to make sure you have a special day.
-The bride's suite may look small, but we had about 10 getting ready in there at one point with all our bags and had room to spare. Plus, there are plenty of outlets all over the room.
-THEY HAVE AN INDOOR OPTION! This is what sold me on Rustic Grace. Though I had dreamed of an outdoor wedding, there's always a risk of inclement weather. Rustic Grace was the only venue I toured where you could seamlessly move your outdoor ceremony indoors if need be. I didn't have to use this option, but I'm so glad it was there.
-We had about 110 attend and it seemed to be just the right amount. If you have 140 or more planning to attend, you should probably look for a larger space.
Overall, I loved having my wedding here. The look of the barn is gorgeous (string lights, chandeliers, weathered wood) and fit perfectly with our desired scheme.
When I was looking into venue's I knew exactly what I wanted,and that was Rustic Grant Estate.

Rustic Grace Estates was everything I dreamed of and so much more! I knew from the moment I saw that venue, it was the ONE. The chapel, barn, streaming lights, and gorgeous land can not be beat. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped cre...

My daughter's wedding was at Rustic Grace Estate a couple of weeks ago. There are no words to express how incredibly happy we are with our experience! The venue is absolutely beautiful and everyone could not have been more supportive and helpfu...
l. Katrina and Kevin helped us get the ball rolling with reserving this beautiful venue. We have worked with Toni on all of the preparation and planning leading up to the big day. She was always there for questions and to make sure we thought about everything from the ceremony through the reception. Joy has also been there as the day approached and for the rehearsal and of course the day of. Joy is a perfect name for her because she is certainly a joy to work with! We had a slight hiccup with the bartender. She immediately stepped in and resolved the problem. That was a huge stress relieve for us! I don't expect to have another wedding to plan, but I will definitely recommend Rustic Grace Estate to anyone that is!
Rustic Grace was really easy to work with & didn't have required vendors you have to leverage so it helped to lower the cost of the wedding. Their chapel & well entire property is also so gorgeous! I did a lot of research on venues before deci...
ding & Rustic Grace definitely gets you more bang for your buck!
This venue was perfect!! The chapel is indescribably beautiful and the renovated barn is amazing! We have received so many complements on our venue selection. I would chose this venue every time. The barn is fully equipped for any weather condi...
tion and has plenty of space to dance while still being the right size for everyone in it to be able to see everything going on.
Toni and Katrina are an absolute pleasure to work with. They seriously think of everything and have continuously helped me coordinate my big day!
My daughter and now son in law were married at Rustic Grace in February. They fell in love with the venue at first sight. They had visited several and this was the first venue that treated them like family and was genuinely excited for their ...
future event. My husband and I were unable to see the venue until a month before the event and I had been extremely nervous. All of that was gone after seeing RG! We both saw exactly what they fell in love with. This was our first face to face with Antonia and she immediately made us feel so comfortable. The staff was amazing and the venue is understated by saying just perfect. The day went off without a hitch. Antonia just made it so easy for me to enjoy this day with my daughter. She and I were oblivious to any glitches that day. This is what every parent dreams of. Guests are still raving about what a great time they had. I think the biggest compliment was my son in laws senior great aunt saying, "I feel like Cinderella and this isn't even my day". We celebrated a beautiful union in the amazing chapel and laughed, ate & danced the night away in the oh so perfect reception barn. The place is so beautiful you barely need to decorate. It just takes away from the perfect lighting and charm. I highly recommend RG for anyone wanting a perfect celebration. It is a must see!
What a wonderful venue! Rustic Grace Estate allowed our ministry, Breaking Free to host a night of worship in their beautufuk chapel.
I can not say enough good things about this venue and the owners. They truly care about whatever event you...
have there, wedding, fundraiser, etc. They are always helpful and available whenever you have questions.
I recommend this venue to any one looking for a beautiful place to host an event.
My son and his wife were married at Rustic Grace and it was everything we could have asked for and more! From the absolutely stunning barn to the beautiful grounds including longhorn cattle looking on, the venue exceeded our expectations! The ...
owners of RGE were so helpful and completely attentive to our needs and went above and beyond in so many ways. I would highly recommend Rustic Grace to any couple!
I had the pleasure of helping with my nephew's wedding at Rustic Grace Estate. It was absolutely beautiful! The outdoor space and barn were the perfect place for the wedding and reception. The chandeliers, lights, lake, longhorns and overall r...
ustic feel all added to the perfect atmosphere. The owners we super helpful and went out of their way to do everything they could to make the day special. I recommend Rustic Grace Estate to every bride that wants a perfect wedding!
Went to my nephew's wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful The barn was a stunning venue with the lights and chandeliers. Very warm and welcoming on a cool day. The owners went out of there way to make sure that everything was running ...
smoothly. Everything was absolutely perfect. What a fabulous wedding venue!
While the look of the venue is exactly what I wanted, BE CAREFUL. On my tour I was promised a lot of thing that didn't end up being true. A lot like a car salesman. Wants to make a sale, so will tell you anything. For example:
-I could pay ...
at any pace as long as it's all paid for a month in advance. When really I got tons of annoying emails telling me my payments were late.
-There would be pretty flowers in the huge planters by the entrance to the barn. When really there were dead ugly stick looking things.
-I would have the whole day because they're "all about the bride and they live out of city limits so we can stay as late as we want." When really I had to pick a time frame (which I was notified of just a couple months before my wedding).
-And more!
As a laid back, nice person, I was stressed and forced to be more assertive than I ever like to be because of all the ways they did NOT keep their word. Additionally the wedding planner they hired halfway through my planning was useless. She just sent tons of annoying emails, she opened the alter doors too early (against MY actually wedding planners request) so everyone saw me standing there before my song even came on. And at the end of the wedding when my family was rushing to get everything cleaned up, she was just standing there looking at her watch to make sure we were out of there in time, or else we would have to pay more.
Overall: not a good experience!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/15/2016
Meagan,
It breaks our hearts that you struggled through so many issues while planning your December wedding. We wish every one of our brides a joyous and magical time on their special day, and that is usually the outcome.
We spoke with you ...
and your mom on numerous occasions in the months and weeks leading up to your wedding day, and we thought any issues were resolved. In multiple conversations, your mom admitted that the misunderstandings were on her side because she had never seen or read the contract.
Regarding payments: Please see below for an excerpt from your signed contract, where you acknowledged and agreed to your exact payment amounts and dates. Additionally, we have at least three emails from you and your mom wherein you explain your repeatedly late payments by stating you chose to pay your caterer instead of us because they offered you a 20% discount for paying up front which made you "a little short on (your) wedding budget," you had a school payment to make (and that was your "priority"), and one where your mom apologized for the late payment and asked for some leniency. You never mentioned that you thought you didn't owe the payments at those times, only excuses as to why the payments were late.
Regarding Timing: Please see below for an excerpt from your contract and note that the number of rental hours is literally the first item on the contract. In addition, the number of hours you are renting the venue for has always been clearly listed on our website, preliminary email info, and on the "wedding day reminders" email. We have never suggested that anyone would have more hours than their contract states without paying a fee. When your mom mentioned that she hadn't read the contract but wanted more time, we did offer to let you purchase up to 2 additional hours at a reasonable rate which you declined to do.
We understand how hectic your day can be from decorating, to hair and make-up to the clean up at the end of the night. Our Venue Manager has certain roles, and those are articulated in your signed contract. While she does often step out of her role of just overseeing the venue and is happy to lend an extra hand, especially when a family friend is running a full wedding day for the first time at our venue, cleaning your personal items up at the end of the night is not a service we offer. Your contracts says, "The coordinator is not responsible for cleaning, decorating, ushering guests, etc." We did send a list of proper vendors to help assist with clean up, which will lessens the burden for the wedding party at the end of the night. We have never suggested to anyone that our venue coordinator will do their cleaning for them, and we have never had anyone, until now, suggest that she was anything less than a complete asset on their wedding day.
It is our hope that despite the misunderstandings, you had the wedding day of your dreams! We do appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback and hope that you and your husband have a blessed and happy marriage!
Excerpts from signed contract: (FUTURE BRIDES, note that RGE now offers different timing and payment requirements).
Timing: Standard time slots will be within the hours of 10:00 AM and 12:00 midnight with 12 hours to be available on Saturday and 10 hours on Sunday and Friday.
Payment Plan: $500.00 on 1/12/2015, 25% of remaining balance due on 2/9/2015, 25 % due 6 months before event, 25% due 4 months before event, 25% due 2 months before event
We utilized both RGE's beautiful renovated red barn and their newly built chapel. Both locations were perfect! Antonia helped us in the days leading up and-more importantly-the day of. She was attentive, incredibly helpful, and always quick to ...
respond to emails. While the services provided were beyond exceptional, the location is what we were there for. It was the perfect size for our party and the ambiance was warm and inviting on our drizzly November evening. The buildings have so much personality and work perfectly for any kind of wedding you'd want, whether it is laid back or high-falootin'! While we ended up having our ceremony in the chapel, we definitely toyed with the idea of having it outside with the longhorn as a witness! It's such a versatile venue with wonderful staff in close proximity to the metroplex without all of the hustle and bustle. Do not overlook Rustic Grace Estate when choosing the location for your event!
We fell in love with Rustic Grace the second we saw i. Even better, they ended up building the chapel right before our wedding! This venue was absolutely stunning and all of our guests just loved it! Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful pla...
ce to have our wedding!
