The Warwick Melrose - Dallas is an exceptional wedding venue that I highly recommend. From the knowledgeable, responsive, and professional staff, to the high-end, luxurious, and customizable offerings, they truly deliver an exceptional experience. The front desk, valets, and banquet staff are attentive to every detail, even helping to steam linens, which is often overlooked. They served a plated meal to a large guest count with precision and efficiency, and kept bar traffic to a minimum. They even built an extra bar facade upon request - just exceptional service and attention to detail. As a wedding planner, I adore their catering and sales managers because they are such excellent communicators and know the space inside and out.

Venue considerations

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • No on-site guest accommodations
  • Lighting and sound are not included
We were wanting to do more of a “party” than a traditional wedding, and McKinney Flour Mill was one of the few vendors to really understand our vision and work with us on it. They were always very responsive and answered all my questions, and they let us come in on multiple weekends to tour the venue and develop our layout. I also loved that they had a decor room add on option and they had tons of awesome decorations we could use. Everything was going perfectly until the day of. When we got to the venue the day of the wedding, there were ceremony chairs lined up instead of the tables that we needed set up as we were not doing a traditional ceremony (so there must have been some miscommunication within their team on this). However, it wasn’t a huge deal and our wedding party was able to quickly get the room re-organized. The wedding itself was great and went off without a hitch! But then when we were cleaning up afterwards, the owner seemed pretty annoyed and short with us. We brought in some of our own decorations as well as used some of theirs and we had discussed previously that we would give them our decorations we had brought in to use as part of their decor room for future weddings. When we were actually cleaning up, the owner wanted us to take everything of ours and leave nothing in the decor room so we ended up just throwing all of our decorations out. Overall, they were great to work with and we loved the venue, but the ending was just very weird….

Just hosted an event at The Augustus in Downtown McKinney, Texas, and I couldn't wait to share my experience! First things first, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. You could really feel their passion for creating an amazing client experience. Walking into the building, I was totally taken in by the rich history that's all around. It's like each corner has a story to tell, and I loved soaking it all in. The mix of old-world charm and modern comfort in the design really sets the vibe. What I found super cool about The Augustus is how well thought out everything is. Having private access to the kitchen, separate restrooms, and a fully stocked bar makes a huge difference. It's like they're all about making sure you have what you need for any kind of event – big or small. And let's talk tech – it's seriously impressive! The audio-visual setup fits right in with the space, which meant we could have some killer presentations and entertainment. The way they blend history and modern tech is a winner in my book. To wrap it up, hosting my event at The Augustus felt like taking a step back in time, but with all the perks of today. The staff's friendly vibes, the historic setting, and the top-notch amenities make this spot a real hidden treasure. For anyone looking to make their event truly special, I'm shouting from the rooftops: check out The Augustus!

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

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?

Wedding venues in Texas typically cost between $3,000 and $30,000+ depending on what you're looking for.

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.

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?

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.
