Absolutely perfect! Our experience was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the breathtaking views and the elegant charm of the venue.

Every detail, from the stunning décor to the seamless coordination of events, was executed flawlessly.
We received endless compliments from our guests about how beautiful and unique the space was. The food was exceptional, and the entire event flowed smoothly, thanks to the Morgan, Kayla, and their incredible team .

From our very first inquiry, the Walters Wedding Estates team at The Olana Design Center impressed us with their exceptional service. We were immediately drawn to the venue's unique aesthetic, a refreshing departure from the typical DFW farmhouse scene, reminiscent of a charming European street. Booking for our April 2025 wedding in June 2024, while the venue was still under construction, was a bit nerve-wracking. However, the team's patience and thorough answers to all our questions were incredibly reassuring.
Our experience only improved when we were paired with our initial wedding coordinator, Kayla. She was phenomenal, consistently going above and beyond to help us bring our vision to life. As first-time wedding planners, her guidance and support were invaluable, making the entire process feel less daunting. We truly appreciated her proactive updates on the venue's construction progress.
Even with Kayla's transition to a new role, the handoff to our new coordinator/ wedding planner, Maddie, was seamless. Maddie has already proven to be just as dedicated and understanding, taking the time to truly grasp our vision and providing further reassurance as we approach our wedding day.
The venue itself is stunning. The Olana Design Center is truly a gem, offering a more accessible option for those who admire the grandeur of The Olana. The attention to detail in its design is remarkable, creating an atmosphere that feels both elegant and intimate.
The only minor point of feedback we have, which we want to emphasize was likely more on our end than anything, is that there were a few instances where we needed clarification on pricing. Some aspects were a bit confusing at first, and we wanted to ensure we had a complete understanding. However, the team was always responsive and helpful in addressing our questions.
With just a few days until our wedding, we are filled with excitement and anticipation. The Olana Design Center and its incredible team have made this journey truly special, and we can't wait to see our vision come to life in this breathtaking space. We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique and memorable wedding experience.
