First off, let me say that my mom and I researched hundreds of venues. We wanted something that…read morewould be cost effective and exactly what we were looking for, a rustic-like wedding experience nestled in the country. We found Anding Acres. Lisa Anding was absolutely fantastic. I could not have asked for a better experience at her venue. She, so kindly, decorated the venue with her expansive décor closet. The decorations were elegant and even better than I imagined. She asked me what I was looking for and delivered a beautiful setting. Lisa and Randi were present during my wedding and treated me and my family just like theirs! They were professional and provided exceptional service. The open air chapel is absolutely stunning in pictures. It was a perfect feel for our ceremony. The open air barn was a fantastic setting for our guests. The farmhouse tables, the couples table, where food is served, and the cake table are perfectly placed and perfectly decorated. I LOVED the wooden dance floor framed in twinkly lights. My advice is to go with Lisa's recommendations on whoever she recommended. The DJ and caterer she recommended were both wonderful. If you are looking for a venue that delivers everything you need for a stress free wedding day Anding Acres is your place! Anding Acres will make all of your wedding dreams come true!

I cannot say enough good things about this venue. If you're looking for a rustic and beautiful…read morespace for your wedding that doesn't break the bank....look no further. This place is GORGEOUS. Lisa (owner) is so friendly and helps in any way she can. They have a full room of decor that you can add to your package for a nominal fee and saves tons on having to buy your own expensive decor. Linens, napkins, tables, chairs and dishes are included which is HUGE. For a bride on a smaller budget like myself, this place was a true blessing. The ceremony site is to die for; it's absolutely breathtaking, especially in the evening with the lights up. There are super cool features such as an outdoor dance floor, fire pit with hay bale seating, Texas light up flag on the fence, and a full indoor kitchen. You can bring your own food/caterer in and your own alcohol. Thank you Lisa for making my wedding a dream come true!!!!

I ordered flowers for my daughter's birthday at 10:00 for same day delivery. It stated same day…read moredelivery must be ordered by 2:00 pm. I put the order in by 10:00, 3 o'clock rolls around, I called my daughter to check on how her birthday was going. She did not mention receiving the flowers. I reached out to Starluck to check on the arrangement. I was immediately placed on hold for over 20 minutes. I hung up tried to call back several times to only hear the same music I had listened to for over 20 minutes. My daughter gets off work at 4 o'clock. At this point, I am guessing I will still be on hold with this unprofessional company. DO NOT go through Starluck, I thought this was a locally owned business. There are several great florist in Ellis county. I was in a rush and accidentally picked this company. NEVER AGAIN!!! Whatever you do, do not us Starluck, it outsources to florist. The way this company handles their customers, I do not trust the orders are getting to florist in a timely manner. They charge the same prices if not more, so you are not saving money. Stay clear from any company that cannot answer their customers phone calls or make their deliveries in a timely manner. Starluck is Badluck !!!

Great communication, quality and service. Highly recommend. Speedy service and beautiful work!read more

Want to eat outside in the patio, yep, they got you covered! Creamery in the front with some delicious tilkamok ice cream flavors crush our frosty dreams by being closed. Hoping to find them open next time Wait. I didn't even start with the food at the steakhouse. Yum!. They were so accommodating. I am vegan with a family of omnivores. So thankful they could be flexible and make me a delicious cucumber and tomatoes salad and a plate of veggies. We were all to excited and didn't get a good meal photo. And the desserts too. We had the apple pie egg rolls all around. ( if you ask nicely, they will make it vegan and leave off the whipped cream). My Canadian friend had the cat fish and hush puppies . While the might not have vegetarian or vegan listed in the menu, this spot has got you back... so you be coming back. And if they aren't too busy and you ask *real* nice, maybe Carolyn will consider giving you a bit of a ghost tour. If that ain't you thing, get something delicious to eat and hang with your besties.

It's a very nice event venue! Parking may get crowded, since the parking is in the back. But it was already crowded back there, so I had to park in the motel parking lot next door. It also rained by the end of the event (kinda had to be cut short because of a serious thunderstorm), & it would've been easier for everyone to leave if they had some kind of (valet) covering for the entrance. The restrooms are very upscale & well-maintained with multiple stalls. The food was also very nice (it may have been catered by an outside company?). I told our server as soon as I was seated that I was a vegetarian (since I didn't know the planned menu that evening), & he made necessary accommodations. I actually was the first person at my table to get my food, & it was delicious! There was also space inside this event center for a silent action, eating area for nearly 50 tables, & a live band playing on a stage (where there was also a live auction held), & a dance floor. It was neat seeing the variety of things that could be done at this venue. I would definitely attend a future event here!

I can only speak on the boarding side of things, but you're paying a high price (which was raised…read moreseveral times even after paying your board for that month, they would raise it again and expect you to pay the extra) for a run down facility. The site online does not represent the property in the least. Upon arrival, we walked the property and had to clean it up, pound in and/or remove nails, picked up boards with nails sticking out, blocked off sections with sharp slabs of metal and misc. other unsafe objects. At the time, the site online said hay was included in the monthly price- which it was not. I provided all my own feed with the amounts that were to be fed morning and night- I found that my horses were not getting fed morning and night and they weren't even getting fed what I provided. When we returned after visiting family for the holidays, my horses were out of water- the feed I purchased before we left had hardly been fed- there were signs that the horses had gotten into the tack room and were free feeding themselves (I was praying none of them were going to colic) but the worst part of it was that they were all underweight and acted starved. I could clearly see that they were not cared for. In my opinion, if you're going to charge a competitive rate, your facility needs to be safe. And if they say they will feed your horses- I expect that to happen. 10/10 I would not recommend boarding your horses at this facility.
