I had the pleasure of DJing at this venue recently, and I was absolutely blown away. It’s such a beautiful space with plenty of room outdoors for guests to mingle, paired with a bright and open reception hall that feels inviting from the moment you walk in. The whole place gives off this wonderful feeling, almost like you’re welcoming everyone into your private haven. Ha, hence the name Hera’s Haven! I just got that, it truly lives up to its name! Lauren, the venue owner and coordinator, was truly incredible to work with. After meeting her for the first time, I remember telling my couple how lucky they were to have her on their team. You can tell that for her, every event is personal. She genuinely cares about making sure every detail comes together seamlessly. Thanks to her, the entire day flowed perfectly, and I can confidently say my couples felt the same way I did. If you’re searching for a wedding or corporate event venue that’s nothing short of phenomenal, you have to check this place out.

Truly working with the Springs Waxahachie was an absolute dream! From the beginning to end, coordinators Addie and her assistants Hannah & Hannah made my wedding day perfect. The communication and execution made my day completely stress free. I HIGHLY recommend hiring day of coordinators, especially at the springs with Addie and her team. The day was absolutely beautiful and I couldn’t have dreamed of anything better. My guests said it was like twilight and I couldn’t agree more, the butterflies were out and the trees gave the most amazing atmosphere. The venue overall was absolutely stunning and all of my guests raved about the catering from our premier selections and bar service, they said it was one of the best weddings they’ve been to. We chose herb crusted tenderloin & pecan crusted chicken and the steak was so tender & chicken cooked to perfection! We didn’t get to do a personal tasting before because I was actually an out of state bride from Las Vegas, but we were so happy with how it turned out. I never felt really stressed about any part of planning because of the in house team. The springs Waxahachie team was SO helpful with every small detail. If I could relive this day again I would!

Pecan Creek Farm was a great choice for our wedding venue. The main form of communication with the venue was through email, which worked well overall, though we did find it a bit hard to get responses sometimes. However, the quality of their work and the beauty of the venue itself were fantastic. Hannah, the venue owner, checked in on us many times throughout the day to ensure everything was going smoothly. The only minor issues we had were some leftover trash from the previous event by the altar, and a couple times the water heater in the bridal cottage sprayed water at us. But overall, we absolutely loved this venue and would highly recommend it to other couples!

The venue is not at fault as it was 90F in FEBRUARY. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!! Best wedding ever!

The Pines of Alvarado

Alvarado, TX
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,300

The Pines of Alvarado offers a unique blend of urban convenience and rustic charm. This versatile venue features both indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing you to create a wedding experience that perfectly reflects your vision.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Provides lighting and sound
  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Pets can join the celebration

Venue considerations

  • Additional event staff required
  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • No venue-provided food services
We have only positive things to say about the Pines of Alvarado. There was ample parking. With the gazebo, two pergolas and multiple blooming plants, the approach to the building was very attractive. It was 99 degrees when we arrived at the venue, but the room was cool and comfortable. The catering kitchen worked well (our caterer loved it) and included a freezer, which was really nice since we served ice cream for our groom's treat. The kitchen also worked very well as our bar, with a convenient place to put a large frozen margarita machine. We loved having the ability to provide our own alcohol and appreciated the Pines providing the (required) security officers. We did put one row of pipe and drape up so bar goers didn't see the catering work going on behind the drape. The room was large enough to seat 130 guests for a dinner buffet - with adequate space to move about. There was also room for multiple "specialty" tables and a dance floor. There are giant barn doors that were perfect for entrance of the wedding party, as well as for the sparkler send off. A large window at the far end of the building let in ample natural lighting. The building was spotless every time we were there and they had ample tables, chairs, and cloths to meet our needs. The building is rustic in design, but became really pretty with minimal decorations - especially once the strings lights were turned on. Kylie was great to work with. She was flexible, responsive and attentive. Her knowledge and suggestions (when solicited) were invaluable. We are so glad we found the Pines of Alvarado. It was definitely worth the short drive from the metroplex.

During the cocktail hour, they seamlessly flipped the room to transform it for our dinner and dancing.

The belle manor was an absolute pleasure to have my wedding. The only takeaway is the overnight stay. They had zero towels, paper towels, soap etc for guests. If you can sleep 8-12 why were only 3 towels available? Other than that they were excellent and accommodating to our needs.

About wedding venues in Bardwell, TX

You'll find everything from romantic Hill Country vineyards to stunning Gulf Coast waterfronts that provide perfect backdrops for your special day.

Think rustic barns where longhorn cattle graze nearby or sophisticated urban venues with dramatic city skyline views that'll impress your guests.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a grand celebration, you'll find Texas venues ready to accommodate your vision.

What's the Average Cost of Wedding Venues in Texas?

Which Wedding Venue Types Are Most Popular in Texas?

Texas couples typically book their wedding venues about 16 months (or 457 days) before their wedding date. November stands out as the most popular month for venue inquiries so planning early is essential if you're considering this timeframe. This advanced booking timeline helps you secure your preferred date since popular venues often fill their calendars far in advance especially for prime weekend dates. Booking early also allows you to lock in current pricing before annual increases that many venues implement. Plus you'll have more time to work with venue coordinators to customize floor plans and discuss details that will make your celebration uniquely yours.

How Can Texas Venues Support Remote Wedding Participation?

For couples wanting to include loved ones who can't attend in person, several Texas venues now offer more than just basic streaming services. Venues like Agave Estates Mara Villa and The Middleton Venue in Katy specialize in creating interactive remote experiences that make distant guests feel truly present. You can work with these venues to design custom interactive elements that go beyond passive viewing. Think virtual guest books where remote attendees can leave video messages remote toasts synchronized with in-person celebrations and even coordinated dance moments. These thoughtful touches ensure everyone feels included in your celebration regardless of where they're located.
