Our entire wedding weekend felt like stepping straight into our own fairytale... except better, because the people behind it made us feel like family. Let me start with Beatriz. She answered every question, calmed every worry, and fixed every hiccup before I could even finish saying, “Uh oh…” Her family is just as incredible—warm, helpful, and genuinely invested in making everything perfect. We stayed at the venue Friday through Sunday, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Having our family fly into town and actually stay with us made the whole weekend feel like a giant celebration instead of a stressful 24-hour sprint. It felt intimate, special, and so much easier for everyone. The venue itself? Absolutely magical. Spacious, clean, thoughtful details everywhere you look. Every corner looks like it was designed to photograph beautifully. We chose the all-inclusive package, and I cannot stress this enough: it saved my sanity. Tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces, cake, DJ, photographer, day-of coordinator—everything was handled. Every vendor showed up ready, professional, and prepared. I actually got to enjoy being a bride instead of acting like the manager of a small event-planning empire. And then… the fireworks. I will never forget that moment. It felt like the whole world paused just for us. Our guests are still talking about it. Adriana Estates gave us beauty, peace of mind, and the kind of memories you replay for the rest of your life. If you’re looking for a venue where the team genuinely cares, where the details shine, and where you can actually breathe and enjoy your wedding day, this is the place!

We toured about 6 other venues around DFW before we visited the Pearl. My husband visited the Pearl at their open house in January 2022 while I was on a work trip and he knew this place was something special. We made an appointment with Connie and Barry for a few days later to go together and as we walked through the venue, we couldn't imagine any place else we wanted our wedding. Barry gave us the best venue tour we had been on and asked us questions about how we wanted our wedding to look to better help us see how our day would be. Throughout the planning process, I probably emailed Connie a dozen times and she was always so quick and happy to help with any suggestions or questions I had. They do a great job of thinking of all the details you need. On our wedding day on March 18, 2023, we couldn't have had a more magical and perfect day. All of our friends and family thought the venue and the wedding were amazing. I can't recommend the Pearl enough and highly encourage you to attend their open house if able or if not then book a tour as soon as you read the review.
