So IMPRESSED by this NATURALLY STUNNING Location! This is a hidden gem that once folks know about…read moreit.. they will beat a path to the door! My daughter only had 6 months to plan a wedding so venue choices were very difficult! We stummbled into this gorgeous place and I had to pinch myself..DONE and DONE! Booked it as soon as I saw it.. Amazing things about this place 1. Daughter wanted all the wedding party to stay on site and basically have a love and Party fest.. Many many bedrooms accomodated EVERYONE and we had a lot in the wedding party! 2. The man cave/ BUNK HOUSE - pool ping pong and bunk beds.. we had several guests that were just a tad to party happy, so we escorted them to the bunkhouse.. The groomsmen played card games and had a wonderful time there.. Its a bunkhous that is just a few yards away from the mail house.. 3. The main house.. DROP dead gorgeous and we had 50 people for the rehersal dinner! Big cozy fireplace and an intimate gathering made everyone toast and tell wonderful stories about the bride and groom.. 4.OMG they have beautiful working hunting doggies! I am not a hunter, but they included a hunt for the groomsmen and their man friends..I enjoyed watching the dogs work..What a beautiful afternoon..and the hunters came home with a LOT of QUAIL! 5. NEW wedding Chapel was just completed and is just so so beautiful.. We had 130 guest and it was plenty of room for dancing and all the tables food and buffet set up! 6. The staff... although I was dubious at first as I only saw one sweetheart of a lady.. She was amazing and was so very accommodating! I just loved her..She was very special and so caring..She is truly a treasure! 7. The nature- not much decor needed here.. this place is on a lot of acreage and the chapel faces sunset.. so the natural beauty is peaceful and just lovely.. All I can say is this place is wonderful and offers so much for the dollar.. Our older guests were comfy sitting by the fire in the main house and drinking wine ,while the young kept the party going on late into the night.My daughter described it as a dream wedding! I NEVER WRITE REVIEWS! This shouild tell you how wonderfull this place is!!

The Little Chapel in the Woods is a hidden gem on the Texas Women's University campus. It is a…read morebeautiful venue, often otherwise known as a wedding Chapel. I toured the place and learned of it's history, which is pretty interesting. The place was built during the Great Depression as part of the National Youth Administration. Over 300 TWU students participated in its building and creation, even making the stained glass windows that adorn this architectural piece. It was named one of Texas' most outstanding architectural achievements. Ironically it was even designed by a Denton resident who is also a nationally recognized architect, O'Neil Ford. Now you ready for the coolest face? This place was dedicated and opened on November 1, 1939 by none other than First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, right here in Denton, Texas!

The Little Wren Chapel was beautiful an it's just the right size for small to medium size wedding…read more They have a beautiful out door area that's set up for guest for a reception. Inside the reception building they have comfortable seating in one area they have an area an inside that can be set up for you to have a meal area also there is a bar section. One downfall is there is only ONE bathroom which to me is an issue. When you have 50-150 people there an there is one bathroom an people have to wait for it that's no go for me. Second downfall for me is that I'm disabled an trying to walk from parking lot to the sidewalk is rough, all the little stones makes walking with a cane difficult. Beside that the staff is polite an are accommodating. Sorry I missed getting pictures of the actual chapel it's super cute.

We went to a lively wedding last night at this venue…read more First the good, aesthetics were beautiful. Grounds were very photogenic and well kept. Parking was plentiful. They chapel was separate from the reception area. Very comfortable. The backdrop for the ceremony was sweet. After the ceremony, the guests walked over to the reception area on a nice paved walkway. The back lawn had turf instead of real grass so walking around that area was easy. We went into the building for cocktails and appetizers. Here's where I had issues. If you are not going to let guests sit down at the dinner tables, for whatever reason, provide seating elsewhere. There was no seating available in the cocktail area or outside. Have some conversation areas. Have a couple of fire pits for February weddings and events. Weddings have elderly guests. Elderly guests need to sit. One bar. When you have 150 people for a wedding, provide more than one bar. Standing in line is not a pleasant experience. Especially when after you get your drink and appetizer, there is nowhere to sit for an hour or so. Now back to the good. The food. I saw one of the servers had Patriot Pig on her shirt so I'm assuming that is where the BBQ came from. It was The Best wedding food we've experienced. The brisket was moist and fabulous. I asked the server in the buffet line for a piece with some fat and he didn't look at me like I was crazy. The green beans were flavorful. Mac and cheese was homemade as were the mashed potatoes. Desserts, little banana puddings, 5 stars. Little apple pies, 1 star, not done at all. I'm not sure where the naked wedding cake came from but it was delicious! The DJ kept things moving but like always in these large barn style venues, the sound was terrible. The staff was all very kind and helpful. The bartenders remained professional even with a constant line all night. Overall a lovely venue with just a couple of misses. Sorry, not many photos.

From a guest perspective its an absolutely stunning backdrop for a romantic and elegant wedding and also provides great space and accommodations for when the party really starts rocking. As a vendor this venue flows so naturally and allows space for all vendors to have their own operating area out of the way of guests and viewing area. The venue is a family owned and operated business and they are so involved and invested in their brides and guests - you simply can't ask for better service! This venue is stunning and any bride or guest lucky enough to get married or attend a wedding at this venue should count their blessings!

Avalon Legacy Ranch is a beautiful venue for a wedding!…read more Came into McKinney for a wedding at this spot and the weather was really showing off this day. We had a shuttle take us from the Downtown McKinney area to the venue and it was a short-ish ride through ranches and open spaces. Once we arrived, the venue was beautifully laid out. We walked through where the reception would be (an indoor and outdoor concept) and went to where the ceremony was held. The wedding was held in the afternoon at the perfect time where it wasn't too hot and had a nice breeze rolling through the trees. The space where the ceremony was in relation to where the reception was isn't too far of a walk and, although not heel friendly, it wasn't too bad. There are many great spots to take photos at and to also hangout in between the ceremony and reception. The staff working the event was super nice and helpful the whole night. The venue itself was such a beautiful space for such a special life event.

Walk back on the compressed gravel trail to the main building and the reception was on the huge covered porch. There were space heaters mounted up above and put out just the right amount of heat on a coolish but beautiful evening. Great lighting on the patio, room for the double sided buffet line, tables and chairs for the reception attendees and just the right amount of room for the DJ and dance floor. I'm not sure how many guests were in attendance but I would guess around 150 or so. The inside powder room was adorable, complete with a pull chain to flush. Outdoors in the patio were more bathrooms for the cowboys and cowgirls in attendance. The overall vibe was comfortable- rustic and romantic, like you were in a beautiful wooded private space. Close enough to the city, but so fun to drive in and see cows in the field right next to the entry road!

I think the population is around 10 people or so. For those booking a hotel for an event here the closest locations are likely around Wylie. Best wishes to you. The venue is pretty and there's a water view as well. Parking is plentiful, some paved, some gravel, some covered and some not. It's a really pretty country setting out there. And the venue is spacious. One slightly unusual set up is that the women's restroom is located right at the entryway, like the second you step inside. It's definitely a gorgeous venue for a wedding.

The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We went on a wagon ride and saw all sorts neat animals and learned about them from the guide. We rented fishing poles ($5) and went fishing in the stocked pond. We played with young antelopes, found turtles, and hunted for frogs and snails. We jumped in a canoe and paddled around the small lake. Stand up boards, kayaks and peddle boats are also available (unfortunately the peddle boats were out of commission today). We played sand volleyball, badminton, shuffleboard and horse shoes. Face painting, bounce houses and snacks all available too. A few more games were up on the deck as well as ducklings to pet. A wonderful way to spend the day with the family. We'll definitely be back!
