    Beautiful Wedding Venue. The couple rang a bell in the chapel then we went to a beautiful receptionread more

    My daughter had her wedding at this beautiful venue in China Spring, TX. When we went to visit the…read morevenue we were told it could fit up to 300 people but it would be tight. We had approx 240 guests and we felt it was a tight fit. Their kitchen is small and made for a very tight situation with the caterer and all the supplies needed for the reception. It also has a small commercial fridge which had some of the owners drinks in it but we managed to fill it up with some of our drinks. They do provide ice but we also brought in two huge coolers of ice to pack drinks in, that didn't fit in the kitchen fridge. If you have a large bridal party the bridal suite will be very tight ( we had bride, MOB, 7 bridesmaids, MOG, makeup artist and hairstylist) and no room for all to sit especially with everyone's bags and dresses. Due to the size of the wedding we were required to hire two bartenders and two security guards. One bartender showed up and the second security guard was pulled away due to a family matter. The owners of the venue did step in as bartender and security guard. Our wedding party was the first to use their silo accommodations. They are beautiful rooms and a great outdoor area set up with fire pit and games. If you live in the Waco and surrounding area this is a great place for a wedding. For our out of town guests they either stayed at Airbnbs or at hotels in Waco. We did advise them all to be prepared for a 35-40 minute drive to the venue.

    This is the best place to have a wedding. We had our wedding there on 10/27/18…read more It was the first venue we looked at and we instantly fell in love with it. All of our guests were from out of state and it was a perfect place to have the ceremony (in the gazebo) and the reception hall was right behind it. The gazebo built in seating seats about 60. We rented a few more chairs from a rental company and it was perfect. The hall has giant windows and high ceilings and the lighting was on dimmers do we could customize the look and feel of the lighting. They have tables and chairs for indoor use and you can choose your layout and they set it up for you. They also have a bar top you can use and it comes with the linens for it. They have a bridal suite type of room where my girls and I got ready and has lots of natural light in it. We got soooooo many compliments about how we chose such an amazing venue. The staff we worked with were super nice and answered all questions super quick. You will not be disappointed.

    Truthfully, I wouldn't drive too far to come here. It's small and there's just not a lot to do,…read moreespecially for kids. The kids' area has swings, a merry-go-round, and some games (checkers, connect 4, and a tetherball). And a seasonal splash pad. In addition to the kids' area, there's a short walking trail and a few small gardens. Also, some art -- a couple statues and murals (probably my favorite part). It's not very stroller-friendly. The trail is gravel but large gravel. We had our wagon stroller and it managed but it was much harder to pull. A less rugged stroller won't cut it. Don't get me wrong -- it's wonderful that this place exists and welcomes visitors for free. I always appreciate such spaces. If you're in the area or live within a reasdonable driving distance, definitely swing by. If you're far, I'd skip it as it's just not quite worth the drive.
