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.

We had guests aging from 12-78 and everyone was smiling and excited about something they learned or saw at Dragonhead Retreat! We did not travel to see other attractions in Tyler, Canton nor Edom. We wanted to just enjoy being unplugged from the City and enjoy no phones, no TV, no job just laughs, conversations and relaxation! Kathy is amazing Owner and was available to answer any questions about local artist or events. She even blessed us with a small concert with morning coffee and conversation! More ppl need to learn about this place! A woman of color, it's important to feel safe and respected. I felt all of that during our 3 day stay!
