The perfect backdrop!

My (now) husband and I fell in love with Clark Gardens when we saw it for the first time. The East Tent was exactly the vibe we were looking for! Couple a white tent and a garden that is so loved and cared for and you get a pride and prejudice backdrop. So in love with not only the grounds but the care we received once we booked with them! Crystal was our point of contact and she was such a delight to work with! I had sooo many questions for her and she answered them all with promptness. Clark Gardens has a special place in our hearts!
Amazing!

I just had my wedding here on 10/07/2023 and it was absolutely amazing! The venue is breathtaking and was exactly how I’d imagined my “garden party” wedding to look like. Molly was super attentive and responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process. Could not recommend enough!
Natural beauty for your wedding!

I'm a wedding vendor (DJ/lighting/photobooth service) who has worked at Clark Gardens and gotten a chance to know several members of the staff there. Collaborating with these folks has been just as beautiful as the gardens themselves! I definitely take notice when other vendors or venues are staffed with great people, as it makes our job much easier. We actually joined Clark Gardens' preferred vendor list after just one event there because we want to return again and again, it was that good of an experience. If you haven't toured the venue, I highly recommend making the trip. It's one of the most gorgeous in all of North Texas, and you'll get to meet some of the great people on their team. They have several spots where a wedding can take place, and these enormous covered areas that are awesome for your dinner and reception surrounded by natural beauty. There's even room to set up lawn games for your guests, and a million opportunities for great photos. Check them out!!
