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.

The venue is not at fault as it was 90F in FEBRUARY. I would recommend this venue to anyone and everyone!! Best wedding ever!

Melanie & Miranda were an awesome team! They answered all our questions & gave suggestions to help us fulfill our dream vision. They were so patient & kind when my daughter had trouble making up her mind. They kept at it until she was satisfied. They really worked hard to help us stay in budget while getting the look we were going for. The buffet food was delicious and moist! Not easy for a buffet! The cake from Jenny Lane exceeded our hopes & expectations. We sent a photo and Nabil did an even better job! The flowers were great & the moon gate was beautiful! It was bigger & grander than we expected. The champagne tree was a big hit with everyone! It was such a pretty sight to see as entering the outdoor ceremony space! We got so many compliments about how pretty the venue was, the cake, the food, & the moon gate. My daughter said it was a perfect day! Thank you! I couldn’t ask for more than that!

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.

Just had our wedding here on 11/3, and it was wonderful. When we first came to the venue, I spoke with a guy named Rob, who seemed very helpful and informative about everything. However, Rob lied to us about a lot of things and made promises that he could not deliver. And of course, I was in a frenzy. But the 2 ppl stepped up. KACI & AMANDA !!! I want to thank yall from th bottom of my heart for everything yall did to make my day amazing. For reassuring me and coming through with everything. They answered every question I had and fulfilled every request I had pertaining to the previous agreement. They responded quickly to every email and text message, regardless of how small the question was. All the way up to before the ceremony. The location is very convenient for any and everything that you'll need. Especially for family that is coming out of town. We had access to everything on site. It rained the first part of the wedding, and they had a side gate that was easily accessible for guest that stayed in a nearby hotel. We were about to control lighting for the photographer. When we first got in, it was a bit humid inside. Of course, it was raining, and with Texas humidity, but my coordinator informed Kaci, and she was right on it. The A/C worked great, not one sweaty picture, lol.
