Iron Manor by Walters Wedding Estates provided an incredible space for our wedding day. The venue was elegant and modern, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. While the communication from the venue staff was sometimes great, Jillian, the day-of coordinator, took care of everything seamlessly. From the 4-5 month mark to the day, I didn't have to worry one bit about timing or logistics, as she ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. The value we received for the space was incredible, and we're so grateful to the Iron Manor team for helping make our wedding day truly special.

Hummingbird Hollow deserves every star for their incredible venue and hospitality!! Obsessed is an understatement -- I LOVED having our wedding here!! This venue and the owners are absolutely AMAZING! I loved working with Pam and Michael from Day 1. They were so quick to get back to me about availability when I inquired about their venue -- and they even personally called me to set up a time to check it out that very weekend while my mom was in town from out of state! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and as soon as we stepped on site, my Mom and I knew it was the perfect place for the wedding! Pam instantly understood my vision for the day and was quick to recommend local vendors which was SO incredibly helpful as I am not local to the area! All the vendors Pam recommended were absolutely wonderful!! And Pam was the most incredible chef!! I loved working with her both on the menu and the vision for the day! Having so many family members on both sides come in from out of town, I absolutely LOVED that we were able to host a welcome party on site the night before our wedding which Pam helped us come up with an incredible Menu of Greek food for as a nod to our honeymoon destination! It was so fun getting to spend even more time on such an incredible property with our loved ones. I had also told Pam how important it was to me to get to spend some time with my bridesmaids before the wedding, so I loved being able to stay at the venue the night before the wedding with my gals! It really eased the stress of the weekend to already be onsite and with my sweet friends at such a gorgeous and peaceful place. The wedding was everything I ever dreamed and the Wedding Walk was the perfect spot for our dreamy ceremony. Everything about our weekend at Hummingbird Hollow was perfect and working with Pam and Michael was an absolute joy!! I could not recommend this place enough!! Everything went so smoothly and was so stress free! If you love florals and greenery, this is THE PLACE for you!!! _______ Looking back at this experience, almost a year later, I still dream of this gorgeous, whimsical hideaway! Hummingbird Hollow is the most serene and stunning venue -- I could not be more glad to have found this absolute gem of a venue!

I got married here April 13th 2024! What an amazing and beautiful venue. I truly couldn't have asked for better! Everyone at the venue was super accommodating and I came multiple times to visit and plan my floor plan. At an extra cost I also rented the facility the day before my wedding for set up and rehearsal. I really appreciated the DIY aspect of everything to truly make it my own. The wedding day was absolutely beautiful and perfect. I will forever be grateful for this venue and the people there. Thank you guys over and over!!!!

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!
