Barnett Estates was the perfect venue for our wedding! The outdoor patio was the highlight of the night, after formal reception the party was a hit outside. It was the perfect atmosphere for our guests and separated the events of dinner, toasts, dances, and the party! Cecily, the venue manager, was so helpful throughout the entire process. We got the best “bang for our buck” by choosing this venue. We used their floral and decor, and added our personal signage and personal bouquets. It really was a beautiful venue and made the most beautiful wedding, perfectly capturing our western theme, while still remaining elegant! We also ended the night with their firework and sparkler show, which was a hit! Our guests loved it and made for the best grand exit and photos! The venue is right outside of Denton so guests traveling could stay in town as well. Overall 10/10.

We had a traditional Nigerian ceremony and our vow exchange on the same day…essentially 2 ceremonies which involved many moving parts and a busy day of schedule. It was absolutely the best day, the entire staff was very helpful and tended to every single detail. The meetings leading up to the wedding were very thorough which made it very easy to enjoy our wedding without any hassle. The wedding package made planning so easy, the venue was beautiful, and most importantly we had the most amazing time! Thank you so much Melissa for pulling everything together and Mariah for handling all the day off matters!
