girls was so comfortable and we were able to relax and have a great time with so much room. She has three amazing ceremony sites to accommodate a variety of different preferences. We used their new outdoor space for our wedding ceremony and had the reception set up inside the barn. With such a beautiful night, we were able to keep the doors open for people to utilize the outdoor space as well and were able to party all night long! In addition to all of that, they have a room full of items that you are able to rent if needed. I know for sure this came in handy when I needed several items last minute. Since there wasn’t a wedding the day before or the day after, we were able to set everything up and have our rehearsal at the venue the day before our wedding. I can’t say enough high words about this venue, the owners and their staff.

y is a hidden gem and I can’t imagine having my wedding any other place. Our wedding was originally being held at a private home that is on two acres; however, due to the non-stop rain Dallas/Fort Worth had between March and May, we were forced to change our plans about three weeks before our wedding. It was very stressful, as I was convinced places were going to be booked. We also had to find a venue that would allow us to use all of the vendors we had already contracted with – caterer, photographer, musicians, rentals, etc. After doing some research, we found The Establishment Barn in Terrell. The day I went to visit the venue it was pouring rain and Sara still met me at the venue to give me a tour. But even with the downpour, I knew I had found the perfect place for our wedding. The Establishment Barn is a hidden gem just one hour east of Dallas. The property is beautiful and the barn itself is amazing. There is a beautiful and very large bridal suite upstairs and the groom’s suite is downstairs. There is a large kitchen for the caterer and a spacious area for cocktail hour. The main reception area is large with very, very high ceilings. Our wedding was small; only 30 people total. But, the way the room was set up didn’t make it feel like we were in a huge space. But, if you have a large wedding reception, you will have plenty of room. Another thing that we liked about the venue was that there were three places we could have the ceremony, depending on the weather. We were blessed and had perfect weather the week of the wedding, so we were able to have our ceremony outside on the grass. But, if it had rained the day before, there is a place to still get married outside and not be in wet or muddy grass. And, if it was pouring (like it was every weekend leading up to our wedding), we would have it inside. After the ceremony, we took family photos with the barn as the backdrop and then we walked around the property and took pictures with the most beautiful backdrops. Sara was so easy to work with and was very responsive anytime my wedding coordinator or myself had a question. She made herself available on a Sunday afternoon so my wedding coordinator and I could tour the venue together to discuss how everything was going to be setup. She was there during the setup up and our entire wedding, helping our coordinator if needed. She even texted me the day of my wedding saying congratulations and to savor the day because it’s going to be a day we will remember forever.

I have always loved all things wedding! I went to school to originally become a wedding planner. I worked as an intern in Dallas for The Wedding Party Studio during college. Making someone’s dream day come true was such an inspiring goal. I took a turn in my career path and worked in the fashion industry for a while. There was a void and I just could not put my finger on it. My best friend was getting married and it all came flooding back to me. I missed weddings so much. The thought came to mind about opening my own venue so that I could be around weddings all the time. I finally filled the v
