    I recently attended a wedding at the Lucas Farm and it was so cute! The couple got married in the gorgeous pecan orchard. Afterwards, the reception took place in the barn which was very spacious and picturesque. The owners were very kind and helped make sure the wedding went smoothly and available to answer any guest questions. I would highly recommend the Lucas Farm!
