We got a great deal for the lowest price around Lindale/Tyler/Mineola area for such a beautiful place. I am sad they are retiring, but they have been hosting a great venue!

Beautiful venue with a lot of potential not being taken advantage of. Fountain that doesn't work at…read moreall. No outlets inside reception building and only one outside reception building. Can't use real candles because of handmade farmhouse tables that aren't even in the best condition and owner has limited LED or battery operated candles. Guests said alot of the chairs didn't look or feel stable. Owners have their children do parts of setup they aren't capable of doing properly. One of the owners told my dad that the bride had a bad attitude when I had barely even seen or spoken to the man. You have the venue until midnight and the owners starting flashing the lights on and off at 1030 because they were trying to get the bartender to start packing up. They hired the bartender for 5-11 but the reception didn't start til 6 and nothing could be served until security showed up at 630. We paid $1000 for the bar. No heat or AC inside reception building. Propane heaters outside that don't do a whole lot of good. Bridal suite is not practical for bigger bridal parties at all. Owner had supposedly just cleaned bridal suite and it was still very dirty minus clean sheets. Light bulbs were out and toilet paper was not stocked. Bathrooms are located completely across the property from the reception building. Apparently they have a sewer system that sprays close by the bridal suite with no signs not to park there. Owners attended the entire reception and just watched everyone making everyone uncomfortable. Their kids were mingling, running serveillance and telling people what to do. Paid $100 for non alcoholic beverage station and it consisted of arizona sweet tea (in TEXAS!) and great value lemonade. A door apparently was left open and a cat ate what was left of the cheesecakes and some of the cake and trailed cake covered paw prints all over the tables. When I visited the venue the pond in the background was green and she said they would have it cleared up by my wedding. It was still the same. The venue is gorgeous but it's not quite functional for big medium sized weddings. It's not great for the winter and I imagine it's not any better during summer either. If it had owners that knew more about the culture where they are located now and weren't so uptight and rude, it wouldn't be a bad place. It needs some work and is definitely not worth the money.

If you are planning to go visit Cedar Creek Lake, it is about an hour south of Dallas. Do plan to…read morehave dinner or brunch at Seasons in Mabank. You need to have reservations because Chris the owner and Chef " invites" you to her house for dinner. She has several tables in three different rooms. We were at a beautifully appointed table in a room by ourselves. I recommend the prix fixed meal on Friday and Saturday nights. Last Friday we started with Gazpacho Soup with garnishes, fresh baked from scratch Crab Tart, a refreshing Green Salad, Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Asparagus and Potatoes and an Orange Soufflé for dessert. All the courses were perfectly prepared and paced so you could enjoy them. Dinner was $30 each and did I tell you it is BYOB? When you make your reservations Chris will tell you what is on this week's menu so you can bring wine to pair with the food. The food is wonderful and it is a great value. Seasons is also open for lunch, week night dinners, Sunday brunch and Sunday afternoon for an English Carvery buffet. She is has a formal Tea monthly.

The space is incredibly well thought out and provides a true opportunity for brides to put their own unique touch given the large space and blank canvas feel. I have never stepped into another venue like The Nightingale Events, I can't recommend this venue enough and hope to be back soon!

Pretty. Had a great at home brunch for four compliments of a silent auction win. Azalea's typically…read moredoes tables for 25+ pax so our small party was not the norm but the set up/ hands off approach is the same. How it works is this, you call, schedule your meal time, give your address and party numbers and that's it. Azalea will arrive in the time needed for you to eat on time ( about an hour for us), and they bring everything, from napkins to glasses there is nothing you need to do, clean or prep for and as you see they make a beautiful table. There is no rush to eat since the catering company departs, you will receive any needed information (ie put all dishes in this basket) and they return at a later time/ date to collect. The food is cute, mini and gives a nice presentation. For taste I'd give 3 stars, it's ok but there is plenty of variety if you like one thing over another. I think the average plate is $25-$75 depending on what you order/ if mimosas are involved etc. it was a fun experience.

I wasn't too impressed with this venue. It comes out looking great in pictures, so if that's all…read morethat matters to you-then put a deposit down! If you're looking into this venue here's some things to note: 1. The getting ready rooms are tiny, and poorly ventilated. If your bridal party is more than 4 it will get stuffy and cramped. 2. The time constraints of arrival and departure are short and stressful. 3. The coordinator can be pushy and unhelpful 4. If you have around 200-it will get cramped. Just some things to consider, but overall I wouldn't recommend it. Cute in pictures, but not practical.

Then a reception to follow in the gorgeous barn with AC & heat. This location is great if your having 200ish guest or less. Rhonda- the owner- is THE SWEETEST! She so great to work with, they always host charity events at SOR, & give back to our community! This is the ONLY place that my fiancé said he'd get married at- he loves the rustic barn. They have everything you need: tables, chairs, bar space, coolers in kitchen, separate bride/ groom dressing rooms, separate area in barn for catering, very clean restrooms, and much more! Book your event early because they book up months in advance!

It's a very nice event venue! Parking may get crowded, since the parking is in the back. But it was already crowded back there, so I had to park in the motel parking lot next door. It also rained by the end of the event (kinda had to be cut short because of a serious thunderstorm), & it would've been easier for everyone to leave if they had some kind of (valet) covering for the entrance. The restrooms are very upscale & well-maintained with multiple stalls. The food was also very nice (it may have been catered by an outside company?). I told our server as soon as I was seated that I was a vegetarian (since I didn't know the planned menu that evening), & he made necessary accommodations. I actually was the first person at my table to get my food, & it was delicious! There was also space inside this event center for a silent action, eating area for nearly 50 tables, & a live band playing on a stage (where there was also a live auction held), & a dance floor. It was neat seeing the variety of things that could be done at this venue. I would definitely attend a future event here!
