My guests constantly…read moresaid that this was the prettiest wedding they had ever been to, and I couldn't have done it without Kelly! 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.

I was a guest of a wedding over Memorial Day weekend at this spectacular venue…read more It was the second planning of my friends' wedding, the first of which got caught up in a well-documented scandal at a another nearby wedding venue. I'm told they lost all their money in that deal. Making Bella Vista happen for them was a three month money and planning scramble for a young couple that lacked the financial resources to make up for the loss. Luckily, by delaying their event by just one day on the same weekend, they came out the true winners. I'll leave the details at that because I had no involvement in the wedding arrangements other than showing up and enjoying this couple's special day and happy occasion. But I will say this. If you're looking for a scenic wedding or meeting venue with a gorgeous overlook of Lake Palestine, ample parking, and a very genial staff, look no further than Bella Vista. They make lifetime memories at Bella Vista, yours included. They keep their word, honor their commitments, and won't leave you rode hard and put up wet.

I got married in October of this year at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club and I do NOT recommend them due…read moreto their greediness, carelessness, lack of professionalism and lack of communication. My family and I tried to resolve this with their event manager first. She refused to give us the owner's info. When we finally got it from another source, we wanted to give the owner a chance to make things right but she did nothing. We cared about our wedding a lot, especially after having to make the heartbreaking decision to reschedule from 2020. If you are planning a wedding I know you care too and so I feel obligated to to warn people to NOT book at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club. They were blatantly greedy throughout the entire process and the for the quality of service provided was poor. LTPC insisting they "had to charge us because of the fees from vendors" was dishonest. I asked every single vender what their fee had been to only be informed there hadn't been a fee. Charging us for changing the date in the first place due to a pandemic that quite literally shut down the world and our state is wrong. The lack of communication amongst their staff is glaring and their unprofessionalism in their emails appalling. (They accidentally forwarded me an email thread where they had clearly been talking badly about me!) DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!

I can't believe no one has written a review for this place yet! LTPC is incredibly beautiful and…read morethe staff was so helpful when I was planning my wedding.

My hair stylist fell through a week before my wedding but wonderful Abby was quick to share the contact information of her friend (who is SO TALENTED!!!) and take away the stress that can come during wedding week. And the venue itself.... wow! All you see wherever you look is beautiful Lake Tyler. My only regret is not spending more time there!!

You could not see all of the children because of the tall blow ups and there was little to no supervision. After 15 minutes we were rushed into another room for cake and opening presents.

The kids barely got to play on the bouncing area for about an hour before they blew the whistles and shuffled us into the next room for cake and gifts. During gifts, the hostess just stood off to the side awkwardly. We paid for 24 children and had 5 show up. They provide ONE Capri sun to each child, as well as dollar tree plates and forks. My husband asked if he could have a juice, and the hostess told him no. We paid $300 for a party of five children and they couldn't spare a single Capri-Sun. Definitely changed my opinion on the establishment, will never be returning.

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!
