Set in the heart of a working equestrian property just south of Fort Worth, this venue blends rural charm with beautifully designed indoor and outdoor spaces. Couples can choose from a waterfront ceremony lawn with a handcrafted cedar arbor or a woodsy meadow framed by mature trees—each offering a romantic setting for saying “I do.” The Lakeside Atrium is the property's standout: a nearly 6,600-square-foot, climate-controlled space with expansive windows that bring the lake and countryside views inside. Versatile enough for ceremonies, receptions, dinner, and dancing, it's an elegant, year-round option for couples who want breathtaking scenery without worrying about the weather. Getting-ready spaces feel like retreats of their own, with a renovated 1950s farmhouse bridal suite overlooking the water and stylish casitas for the groom's party, complete with ADA-accessible guest restrooms.

From the first tour of the property, we knew that we had to get married here! Especially after seeing the chapel, we were in love! All the windows and natural light are so dreamy! We loved the location as well. Situated on a quiet street and conveniently located near hotels, restaurants, and the airport for our out-of-town guests. We were married in October 2024 and it was truly the best day ever. Seriously! We were truly blown away at the level of service and dedication that the Walters staff showed to us on the wedding day, Faith was a pro and helped to make sure that everything went seamlessly, from the rehearsal to the grand exit. Leading up to the wedding, the planning meetings were super helpful and we had so much fun attending all the venue showcases to taste the catering. Truly so grateful that we booked here and to have such a magical day of memories to look back on for the rest of our lives.

The Meadows at Peninsula Ranch was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the beginning, their communication was seamless, consistent, and very open, which made the planning process a breeze. On the day of, their team worked quietly in the background to ensure everything was perfectly set up - I hardly even noticed them, but they made sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire event. The quality of their work and the value they provided was amazing. The venue itself has a cozy, country vibe with beautiful natural surroundings that made for a wonderful atmosphere.
