I literally do not have the words to explain how grateful we are to have chosen The Orchard as our venue. Even with planning a wedding in the middle of a pandemic, Ashley, Kristi, Kevin, Lacey and the Owners were complete angels! We were origin...
ally suppose to get married on May 9th, 2020. At the end of March we decided to postpone to August 14th, 2020 (the hottest day of the year!) Even when everything else was so unsure, The Orchard made sure we would still have our perfect day regardless of the date we chose. Our Family rented the cabins and lodge for Thursday (rehearsal dinner) and for Friday (our wedding). This was such a game charger because we had everything and everyone right there. Since our big day our family and friends have done nothing but rave and praise how great our wedding was. This couldn't have been accomplished with out The Orchard and their team! I wish i could give the venue a million stars! Thank you so much for making our dream become reality!

The Orchard provided us with the best service, and all personnel were so helpful in any way possible. We had a couple of questions come up on the day of the wedding, and Ashley was there to fix and solve everything within minutes. Kristi is also amazing, and was our main contact person throughout planning. I, genuinely, believe that having this venue provided such a great atmosphere for our wedding, and would pick this place over and over again.

We loved our wedding at the Orchard. Kristi and Kevin were so helpful and responded to our questions with great expedience! We had a "Covid wedding" here, which changed a lot about our wedding that was out of their control. The Orchard was flex...
ible and helpful during this time. High points: The Orchard is an older venue and thus very good at what they do - they've seen it all, gorgeous property, several different ceremony options so that you don't have to do a room change, can accommodate all sizes of weddings, cabins on site for guests nervous about driving at night/after the wedding. Other Covid brides should know: We had several guests who stated they would not come unless the chairs were "socially distanced from one another." The Orchard's policy on this was that they would set out 30% more chairs so that people could socially distance themselves, but if we wanted the chairs socially distanced, we would have to do it ourselves. This was clearly communicated ahead of time, so we were not shocked the morning-of, or anything like that. It wasn't ideal for my parents to be socially distancing chairs on the morning of the wedding when they should have been relaxing, but again, this was communicated ahead of time, so we knew it was coming. For brides getting married in a rainy season: Be aware that mosquitoes are a problem and prepare accordingly. Overall, we are so glad we had our wedding at The Orchard, and we will cherish our wedding day, Covid or not, for the rest of our days!

I wouldn’t chose another venue to have our wedding if I had to do it over again. We loved every minute. We also stayed at the lodge and I highly recommend getting the lodge with your wedding. Emails were always responded too and they went above and beyond to ensure we got what we wanted. Due to Covid our wedding had to be moved from our original date. We already had a weekday wedding, so this was not a difficult process. We were able to seamlessly move our wedding and lodge reservations to accommodate our wedding and remain safe. Our wedding day may have gone by super fast but we loved every second and we are so glad we chose The Orchard and it’s beautiful venue for our special day!

My wedding was originally March 27, 2020 but this was right when Texas shut down and Kristi was right there to help me figure out a new date without hesitation which I am very thankful for! The day of our wedding Kevin was there to help us out whenever we needed which was very helpful. We rented the lodge for two nights for our rehearsal dinner and for the night of the wedding. It was the perfect place to relax with our family and friends. Our wedding party stayed at the lodge while some of our family stayed in the cabins all of which is on the same property as the venue. Overall The Orchard was the perfect choice for my husband and I. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

estions for the entire 18 months of planning, especially the month of the wedding. There are so many options at The Orchard that any couple can make the place their own for what they want their big day to be. The Lodge and cabins were perfect for our families to stay on-site and were a huge bonus for the wedding party to start getting ready in. Our families and the wedding party were able to hang out around the cabins throughout the entire weekend and get to know each other even more, especially since many of them are spread out across the state and country. Kevin and his staff bartended the day-of, and our guests never had to wait in a long line. The furniture and other amenities were perfectly arranged once we arrived, and everyone was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend visiting this venue when you are looking, as it was my favorite of the many we visited and was definitely the most flexible and helpful of all the venues in the area. Plus they can accommodate a large guest count and have plenty of space for everyone. Thank y'all for allowing us to have the best day!

The Orchard Event Venue & Retreat in Azle Texas is a fantastic place to have your retreat, reunion, anniversary, or in our case, our only daughter’s DREAM wedding on January 18, 2020. Happy Bride and Very Happy Mom!! The manager is Ashley Sege...
lquist, and her assistant is Kristi Owen and they are super easy to work with! The main venue building is huge, fantastic, and beautiful with indoor and outdoor facilities, a kitchen, fabulous bridal suite, bar, separate grooms’ cabin, and plenty of tables & chairs. The venue rental includes the tables, chairs and white linens, as well as quite a few decorations. They have all the facilities you may need for a DJ or Band, caterer’s needs, etc. The venue has a gas fireplace on the outside patio and if requested will place heaters in the area to gather around, for those who wish to be outside in the winter. They were SO SO SO SO SO helpful with all the planning and arrangements!!! They answered my gazillion questions very patiently and professionally. We are not from the Ft Worth area, so we had a lot of requests for referrals and they were very helpful with giving us names of companies they have worked with. We used the caterer they recommended (Mama Cuca’s), the cake people (Creative Cakes by Monica) and the Day of Coordinator, who was just amazing (Heidi Nettles). The venue’s winter rates are lower than summer rates, and this worked plan well for all the families travel, because they had plenty of notice, etc. We also rented their Lodge, which is a giant and beautiful 6-bedroom ranch house with a game room, tremendous fully stocked kitchen, dining room, master suite, game room, outdoor patio fireplace, grill, hot tub and phenomenal swimming pool. The Lodge is an extra expense - however our daughter and fiancé/husband REALLY enjoyed getting to spend quality time with their bridesmaids/groomsmen over a two-night stay. All the “kids” expressed their appreciation at getting to stay there vs an area hotel and have group meals, a ton of fun in the hot tub, etc. They all brought snacks and coffee etc and we were very satisfied that they were safe and content. This arrangement was as much safer with no one driving anywhere! We even had the Rehearsal dinner catered at the Lodge, making everything VERY convenient. They also have 15 very nice cabins to rent, competitive with local hotel rooms 20 minutes away in Ft Worth. These sell out fast so if you use them- rent the cabins right away- then you have until 2 months before the event to really decide which ones you need, etc. We had family from the 4 corners of the USA, so we were very appreciative of the cabins. They were well appointed and comfortable. The Cabin area also has a pavilion for gatherings and 2 gas fire pits with chairs for gatherings. We recommend the Orchard Event Venue and Retreat to everyone with any size large party. The property is set on a working ranch, and that just increases the charm so much more. Our event was wonderful, fun, easy and seamless. Thank You Ashley and Kristi for your patience with me!!

As mother of the groom, and not part of the decision-making on the venue, I have to say, this is a beautiful choice, even during the winter months. The accommodations for indoor ceremonies is great for smaller celebrations (the count for son's...
wedding was for 150 people). Lot's of outdoor space with space heaters. The rental of their huge Lodge was perfect for the wedding party, and having cabins to rent on the same property made things so easy for those who had long drives, or traveled from out of state. Although it is removed from the big cities, it is a beautiful venue with very helpful staff (and very prompt in answering questions.) If I have any complaint at all, it would be that I should've rented the cabins for the two nights (rehearsal/wedding eve & day), so that the cabins could not be rented out to "outsiders" the night before. We were unable to get into the cabins as early as we had planned (11 am when lodge was available). So we were having to officially wait till they checked out & cabins were cleaned. HOWEVER, the staff was really helpful with letting us know when one of the cabins was ready (at 2pm), so we could get in sooner and get dressed for photos. They still get 5 stars because partly my fault for not realizing the potential those cabins would be unavailable at the time I planned, but also because they were willing to do their best to help us get in sooner.

le farm animals? We immediately fell in love with The Orchard's outdoor and indoor spaces. We chose to host our ceremony outdoors, cocktail hour on the covered patio, and reception indoors. We found The Orchard to be more reasonably priced than some other venues we explored with many amenities available directly through the venue such as bartending services, furniture rentals, and a Day of Coordinator. Tip: Sign up for their promotional emails when you book, and every month you'll receive discount offers on their rentals! And a caution: Even though the baseline cost to book is reasonable, it can add up when you opt for the extra amenities. Another bonus is the cabins and house on-site that can be rented for your family or guests. This allows you to enjoy the country experience for even longer! A special shout-out to Heidi Nettles for being our wonderful day-of-coordinator! We highly recommend this venue for your special events, and be sure to check out the vendor fair they offer onsite. :)

w venues I found that weren't charging an arm and a leg to celebrate two lives coming together. We rented out the Pavilion venue for our wedding & reception and it was truly a dream. The bigger venue is a more popular choice because it can house more guests, but future brides please please please don't overlook the smaller venue! It was beyond perfect for our intimate celebration. The staff, bartenders, and clean-up crew were so accommodating and friendly. The on-site cabins were so convenient for myself, wedding party, and family. They were actually much nicer than any hotel I've ever stayed in. Overall, this venue is budget friendly and gorgeous beyond words!

ners were in getting us booked, helping us with set up, communicating with us about our wedding weekend needs, and being there for us every step of the way to our big day. We also stayed at the lodge onsite (extra charge of course, but well worth it to be right onsite), and many of our party stayed in cabins. We had an unforgettable weekend. Everything was fully stocked for us, staff was available for our questions, and they made sure we had a great time and had everything we needed for rehearsal dinner as well. The venue itself is beautiful, well kept, and I loved that there was plenty of space for my 140 guests, family, and bridal party. I also loved that there was an indoor option already set up in case weather was bad. They were reasonable, affordable, and you get a lot of bang for your buck as centerpieces are included, and you get the venue for 12 hours! We had a Sunday afternoon wedding in March just for reference, and we stayed at the lodge Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. The Orchard made our day and weekend so special. We will never forget it!

We couldn't have dreamt up a better wedding venue if we tried!!! The Orchard is where it's at and there is no question about it. My husband and I chose The Orchard for so many reasons, including: location, budget, amenities, personnel, planning...
help, options, and of course, its beauty. Majority of our guests were coming from the Waco area, Northeast Louisiana, and California. The Orchard is in a great spot because of its proximity to Fort Worth. It is close to the 2 major Dallas airports and plenty of hotel & dining options for guests making the travel. We had a big handful of guests take advantage of their onsite cabins and they couldn't have been happier with the convenience of their choice. Some said that the cabins were nicer than some hotels they have stayed at. Considering the countless number of amenities both included and available at The Orchard, the venue's rental price was more than fair. This was important to us because I did not want a venue that we had to over decorate ourselves and over pay for. The venue is already a fairytale but the staff took care of setting up the few extras we did rent from them. It was also important to us to choose a venue with a ceremony plan B in case of bad weather. The Pecan Room is as beautiful as the outdoor Pergola, and the indoor reception hall and outdoor Plaza gave us multiple venues in one for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception party. The staff are also like an included amenity! So helpful in answering questions, setting up payment plans, and scheduling tours or sit-down visits. Ashley and Samantha went above and beyond to help me plan the perfect day. Kevin, the facility manager, arrived at The Orchard before we did on wedding day. And he left after everyone else, too! He was incredibly helpful in everything we did that day, from working with our day of event coordinator, to helping vendors move in and out, to last minute floor plan changes, and directing the final clean up after our grand exit. We really couldn't ask for a better wedding experience than the one we had here. The Orchard makes it their passion to help couples have and plan the perfect day that won't break the bank.

The Orchard Event Venue is absolutely stunning. It's so simple, yet so elegant and quiet. My now husband and I had probably seen 8 other venues before seeing The Orchard and not really being sold on any. Once we pulled up and saw the property ...
we knew this was where we wanted to get married. Having our ceremony outside was a must for us, but with that there comes the chance of having bad weather and moving inside. There were two options to choose from if that permitted but luckily for us we got what we wanted and had our ceremony outside. Every time we visited the property for decoration purposes, "open house" etc, I/we would get even more excited just because of how secluded and beautiful it was. The Orchard was about an hour drive from where we live WITHOUT traffic, but it was definitely the worth the drive for us. I've heard some crazy stories from other brides about their venues and not letting them do things that I honestly never thought would be a problem, but not with The Orchard! I felt like I had an insane amount of questions to ask them especially as the days drew closer, but they were so reassuring and answered my question very quickly when emailed. They also have a lodge and several cabins to rent on property, whether it's wedding related or not, and we were very pleased with those as well. To have a quiet getaway, we would come back to the cabins. My husband and I are so incredibly happy with our decision in The Orchard and we would recommend it to anyone and everyone! We could not of left more happier.

eremony room). They also have cabins and housing available if you decide to have guests stay there which is very convenient. Secondly, the reception room itself is a relatively blank slate so you can decorate it to fit your style. Third, the staff is absolutely amazing to work with. They were so helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and were always quick to return any missed phone calls. They have a monthly newsletter that goes out at the beginning of the month that has a different amenity discount that is available. Lastly, the day-of coordinator that works there, Heidi, is incredible. She was so easy to work with and throughout our wedding day, she was on the ball with everything. She brought my husband and I dinner and routinely checked in with us to make sure we didn't need anything. When we ran into a few issues with weather and a vendor, she was quick to let me know and had back up plans ready for me to choose from. She made the day run so incredibly smooth and took so much stress off of me. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that gets married at The Orchard.

nd services to the day itself. The Orchard is quite flexible; they are willing to work with most vendors. They did have a list of preferred vendors that we used to narrow our search for photographers, florists, and DJ services. All of the vendors we booked from that list did a great job, and we appreciated the Orchard's willingness to make these endorsements. Weather in the days leading up to our wedding was pretty unstable, and we ended up having to move our ceremony from the pergola to the Pecan Room in the reception hall. The Orchard's staff made this transition seamlessly, and the Pecan Room worked beautifully for us. Many of our guests complimented us on our choice of venue. The reception hall is spacious, modern, and adaptable; the outdoor area is lovely with a grassy lawn, water features, and livestock grazing nearby. The bridal suite and groom's cabin are both well appointed and served our needs nicely. We were both absolutely pleased with The Orchard and would readily recommend this venue for anybody who wishes to hold a wedding in the DFW area but doesn't want to hold it in the city proper.

I recently got married at The Orchard on October 7th and let me start off by saying this venue is a hidden gem!! Book early and leave the rest in their hands...this is the most amazing place!!! This was the first and last venue we looked at for...
our special day. We could facilitate the entire timeline of the day in one place! (getting ready, pre-ceremony pictures, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) The Bridal suite was spacious enough to fit the whole bridal party (and all our junk lol) The hair/makeup artist & photographers were able to have enough space as well. Several mirrors and outlets, lots of natural light, couches and chairs, connected to the restroom with privacy door, privacy lock on the suite, and a back door privacy exit to sneak away for pics or a breath of fresh air without being seen. The groom and groomsmen had their own Cabin secluded from the Main ballroom/Bridal Suite area. Very rustic and great for the guys to relax and get ready. Restroom/shower accommodations as well as a tv with cable, a pool table, couches and outdoor secret cooler :) The Pergola we were married under was absolutely gorgeous and under a giant pecan tree <3 The cocktail hour was held under the plaza which was lit up by The Orchard as well as the beautiful double sided fire place. It was the perfect area for our guests to grab a small bite and a drink before dinner while we took our group photos. The ballroom/reception area is absolutely gorgeous on its own and when you add the personal touches of your decor and theme it really just feels like a dream. Heidi helped us get booked with the Orchard and answered all our questions , she is so sweet! Terri Elder of TLC Event Staffing was our Day Of Coordinator for The Orchard and she was an absolute treasure!! I do not know what I would have done without her that day! Prior to the wedding she was on the job assuring the various vendors had everything in order for the big day, took care of any requests and questions we had and really eased our minds as the big day approached. The day of not only did Terri keep me worry free, she kept me out of the know when it came to the drama that was going on behind the scenes. Terri made my day go so smooth and words cannot express the gratitude I feel for this amazing woman!! As for the incredible Orchard Staff!! I wish I knew you all by name to show our gratitude personally! Kevin of the Orchard was there when my bridesmaid showed up with the alcohol (about 10 minutes before our scheduled time) He helped her unload and ice down everything he was on his game and so so very helpful!! He truly helped us clueless ones get it together as far as setting up the bar and getting prepared. The staff members that were at the Orchard were so helpful! With the catering and decor running late there were things needed done that couldn't until they arrived so the Orchard staff and the serving staff hired through our catering vendor jumped in and volunteered to help set up votive candles and cut wicks. I cannot thank yall enough for your kindness!! I kept saying thank you thank you as much as I could! The night went so smoothly and each of you helped make our day so so special!!! At the end of the night we had so many people tell us how our wedding was the best they had ever been to! It filled our hearts with so much joy and it wouldn't have been possible without The Orchard, Terri Elder, Kevin, Heidi, and all the amazing staff there at The Orchard!!! Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!

your ceremony- you can get married outside, under a covered patio, or indoors. I liked that there were so many back up plans just incase it happened to rain on our wedding day. The staff there is amazing and Lacey was always very responsive to any questions I had. You basically pay for the venue and it comes with tables, white linen table cloths, shepherds hooks (used for the outdoor ceremony), ice machine, chairs, laterns (we used these for part of our centerpieces), and they have a projector and sound system for slideshows and music. We were able to choose our own vendors and did not have to pay a fee for not using one of their preferred vendors. They also have special amenities each month through their newsletter so you can get discounts on special add on items. The bridal suite is very cute and was big enough to hold 10 of us getting ready without feeling to crammed. The grooms cabin is a huge perk! They have a pool table, gaming systems, corn hole, washers, and coolers for the guys to put drinks in while getting ready. There are numerous places to take pictures inside and outside. The location is a little far of a drive for people coming from Dallas, but there is a Best Western located in Lake Worth that provides a free shuttle bus to your guests if 10 or more rooms are booked on your wedding block.... we highly encouraged our friends to stay here and use this shuttle so they didn't have to drink and drive. All and all we were very pleased with this venue and the entire staff. Our guests were very happy with the venue too and kept ranting and raving about how beautiful it was.

The entire grounds are breath-taking, which includes convenient on-site cabins for overnight guests and plenty of parking for the wedding/reception. If you are considering The Orchard for your wedding, I would highly recommend attending one of their Open Houses. They have several of their preferred vendors attend (many of whom I also used), and you have the opportunity to tour the grounds. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about The Orchard.

The moment your daughter takes you to the side and says "Mom THIS is everything I have every dreamed of!! Thank you!!" The Orchard is really a MUST SEE!!!! The Ballroom, gazebo,groom's cabin, fountain it is ALL truly breathtaking!!!! ...
The staff went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend hiring Heidi as your coordinator. I also hired two other helpers from the Orchard and they were amazing! I never had to worry about anything. All the food was set out perfect! The entire wedding went smooth as silk. The only thing I would recommend is that every person in the wedding party needs to be given a plastic container to have all their belonging placed in . I am talking about clothes , wallets, phones, makeup, shoes and KEYS!!!! I was rather surprised that grown adults could lose so many items. We had to do too many search and rescue moments. I guess they were just excited but it did take it toll on me since all these kids think of me as their mother even though most of them are 26 years old!!! When my son gets married I will hand everyone a plastic container and tell them to do this. If they lose something ( besides a child) they better not let me find out about it. Believe it or not there are still items missing. Don't allow girls to bring brushes and makeup items that if they go missing their world will end!!! Believe it or not when you have a room full of hair & makeup artist there will be several brushes that were given to them as a gift and even if you want to hand them the $150.00 or more to replace each item, you can't because that brush was given to them be someone who is now deceased!!!! This happened more than ONCE!!! Tell all these girls to LEAVE THOSE ITEMS AT HOME!!!! Can you really not fix hair without the brush that Aunt Petunia gave you 10 years ago when you graduated from beauty school? Did those cuff links really come over on the MAYFLOWER??!!!! Other then the wedding party losing items and oh yeah the flower girl throwing her shoe in the fountain I could of not asked for a more perfect day. I will never never forget how beautiful my daughters wedding was!! My beautiful girl walking down the aisle at sunset with all these glowing candles. Standing at the gazebo under the chandelier! The most beautiful fountain! The ballroom all ready for us to feast and dance the night away! Everything was just perfect!! It was truly a fairy tale wedding!!! Thank you Heidi and all the helpers and The Orchard! I will never forget that look on my daughters face. You made all her dreams come true!!! Mine too

She made us feel at ease over every situation, and even went to buy napkins because we over looked that detail! A tip to a future bride: I work in the hotel industry and my recommendation is to use an actual wedding venue that does weddings regularly. They are designed for your perfect day. Although hotels may seem ideal because your guests can stay in the same space as your wedding is being held, I promise a wedding venue (ex: The Orchard) is much better design for what you need on wedding day!

at no additional charge. They have many additional options available - before you know it, you've spent much more than you planned to (the base was $7,000 - we spent almost $8,500)! A negative of the venue is that you must be out of the venue by midnight - no additional time can be purchased. In my culture, wedding last until two in the morning, so this was the only flaw. I hired a coordinator through The Orchard, Terri Elder - she's fantastic! Very friendly, hard working, and help with everything. She even set up all my decorations!!!

let me move my rehearsal date to work for my bridal party, they were very understanding with every question I had, and they made sure my wedding was a success. For example, we got married in January, so we had a lot of plans up in the air but the Orchard were accommodating every step of the way - even allowing us to make changes the week of the wedding because of the weather. The venue itself is beautiful!! I loved the bridal suite for getting ready, the grounds, the reception hall, the Pecan room, everything! My photographer was pleased with the lighting available because it worked out well for the pictures without losing the "mood" of the room. I am still getting compliments from my guests about how gorgeous the place was (and we didn't decorate at anything but the tables - the Orchard doesn't need it!). If I could get married all over again, I would still pick the Orchard. I should also add that if you have your wedding off-season, it's extremely affordable!!

lace. My husband found it online Friday, on Saturday we went to meet DeAndra (the owner), and on Sunday, my parents came out with us again and we were ready to sign a check. You know the feeling you get when you find the perfect dress? I got that feeling walking around this venue. It is so elegant, open and inviting. The inside is huge and was designed specifically for weddings because it has rooms where both the bride and groom can get ready with their respective parties. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with large trees and hay bails in the distance (it's on ranch property - how much more rustic can you get?) My favorite place in the venue was the large covered patio. The patio is flagstone, and it is surrounded on two sides by brick pillars that open to the outside. There are curtains in these openings that are both decorative and useful because they link together and hook to the ground to block heavy rain or storms. We used this space for our cocktail hour but it's the backup location if the weather keeps you from having your wedding outside at the pergola. Hopefully that doesn't happen to you because it is a BEAUTIFUL setting. When the pergola is decorated with the white drapes, flowers, lights, etc. it is truly wonderful to behold. The seating area is paved and they have nice white chairs for the lawn. I'm so happy the weather worked for us because you never know in June. Lastly, DeAndra and Kevin were a pleasure to work with. They were quick to respond to all our questions and were very helpful with day-of activities that sprung up. They both were incredibly professional and I am so thrilled we chose to have the wedding here. The only thing that would have made the experience better would have been if we could have had the venue for the entire day for relatively the same price. We had the venue from 4pm-12am and paid for an extra hour to arrive by 3pm in order to set up all the decorations (I didn't hire a wedding coordinator so this was left to friends and family). It felt a little rushed and it would have been nice to be able to relax just a little more, but overall it was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you to everyone at The Orchard!

We received multiple compliments on how the venue looked, how green everything was, the water fountain behind the alter, and many other great amenities. The only hiccup we had the whole night was miscommunication with the bartender. We were told after our cocktail hour that we were out of beer and since the liquor vendor was done with the deliveries for the day, we had to send family members out and purchase more. After they arrived back to the venue, it turned out we were only out of a specific beer and not all beer, which was an inconvenience for our family members. Overall, we had a great time and our wedding was full of memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to all the staff members at The Orchard!
