From the moment we stepped into The Graily, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication with them was quick, personable, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is dreamy with all the character they left in the space. Plus it’s cozy yet spacious. The courtyard was the perfect setting for our intimate ceremony, with the option of a long aisle that added a touch of drama. The owner, Lorinda and her staff, are so sweet and accommodating, helping to make our day absolutely perfect. The space required minimal decor, and the staff ensured everything ran smoothly along with the help of our coordinator. We couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate our special day.

Hera's Haven is such a beautiful venue with a wonderful staff and gorgeous spaces to hold your events. As a wedding planner, I can tell you that the wedding day is always stressful. No matter how organized you are, how big of a team you have, how supportive the people around you are, something can always go wrong. When this happens it's difficult to keep from panicking, but Lauren swooped in and helped me level everything out, knocking my stress level in half. She was so helpful, supportive, and just an all-around delight. I've recommended this wonderful venue to all my brides, my friends, my family, and even strangers in wedding Facebook groups. Bonus for any Greek mythology buffs - The chandeliers are shaped like pomegranates and for our Greek Mythology themed wedding they were PERFECT.

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.
