The property is beautiful and very well maintained. We went on a wagon ride and saw all sorts neat animals and learned about them from the guide. We rented fishing poles ($5) and went fishing in the stocked pond. We played with young antelopes, found turtles, and hunted for frogs and snails. We jumped in a canoe and paddled around the small lake. Stand up boards, kayaks and peddle boats are also available (unfortunately the peddle boats were out of commission today). We played sand volleyball, badminton, shuffleboard and horse shoes. Face painting, bounce houses and snacks all available too. A few more games were up on the deck as well as ducklings to pet. A wonderful way to spend the day with the family. We'll definitely be back!

There was a beautiful chapel back in the woods, a little bit away from the noise of the parking lot, then there was a stage for the DJ or band next to the dance floor and lots of tables in a little pavilion area and restrooms indoors.

My aunt said the venue was great to work with, even as they were figuring out some of the things for the first time, like installing their first permanent dance floor. We all had so much fun! I also got the scoop on the AirBnB from my aunt. Apparently, there's a lovely cabin where you can lower the walls and sleep under the stars in mosquito netting. I want to come back and stay here!

I highly recommend The Backyard Venue for any type of event.

My beautiful friend and bride chose to have her wedding here…read more Pros: Beautiful venue Cons: 1) 1st consultation for booking Katy mentioned she would be available for questions and minor extras if needed - she was no where to be found for questions and when she did arrive, she took no ownership in prior arrangements (tables, wine chillers, lighting, easel, ect were not set up or readily available per prior discussion). 2) Contract requested security onsite for venue; plan for another extra expense (which is kinda tacky)! I'm sure Katy will respond and say that my friend signed a contract agreeing to pay for Security. That is correct - I'm mentioning so that other brides are aware of the expense. 3) Contract also stated to accommodate food for "thier staff 10-15ppl" we did at $90.00pp, but only venue staff onsite were there for shuttling guests to cars 2 to 3 attendants max. That's an excess of $900 that they profited in addition to the $5k already spent. 4) If we had known items would not be available or venue manager would be absent we would have scheduled another hour to not feel rushed or unsettled especially for this type of event.

I am expecting 250 guests and even after 8 emails back and forth, each asking if they could provide space for 250 guests and space for a dance floor, I never received a straight answer. All I got was "you just have to come see it for yourself to understand." That being said, the price would've been right as would've been the location so I was unhappy but gave 3 stars as I can't review on anything other than poor communication.

Some highlights: * I was initially apprehensive about the Texas weather, but the venue is well-equipped to accommodate all weather conditions. Thankfully, it didn't rain, but it was reassuring to know there was plenty of indoor space available. * The indoor venue is spacious enough to comfortably host 200+ guests, with room for a dance floor and even an indoor ceremony if it had rained on us. Round tables, chairs, decor and linens for FREE borrow included. * The outdoor ceremony area was lush, beautiful, shaded, and surprisingly breezy for a 5 PM June Texas wedding. My daughter called it a "Twilight movies vibe with chandeliers in the trees" haha * The bridal suite was large and secure, featuring a coded lock for privacy and amazing lighting for all the bridesmaids makeup vanities. The groom and groomsmen had their own separate space as well with private access to the fishing pond. * Parking was plentiful and convenient for guests. * Outside vendors were welcomed, allowing us to bring in our own caterer, DJ, and photo booth. The photo booth was a huge hit with guests of all ages! * The air conditioning was ice cold inside, which everyone appreciated during a Texas summer wedding!! * The venue was exceptionally clean, spacious, and organized. * One of the best surprises was the huge decor and linen closet available for couples to use at no additional charge. There were countless decor options available. * Having both indoor and outdoor bar areas was a fantastic feature for guests. * Pricing was very reasonable and affordable compared to many other venues. My only suggestion would be to add a few patio swings, benches, or outdoor seating areas for guests who may want a quiet break from the dancing and music inside. Overall, Magnolia Grace Ranch provided a beautiful setting for our daughter's special day, and we would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a wedding venue in North Texas!

Posting here since they keep removing my reviews on G maps…read more Beware of this venue. I had not said anything because I frankly have not had the energy to. I have the energy now. Our experience wasn't absolutely horrible, but it definitely could've been better. Why you shouldn't book here: Lack of communication and not fulfilling contract obligations We booked MGR in Jan of 2023. Got married Oct 2023. Here's proof in case they try saying we weren't a client. We were promised, per the contract, I believe it was 200 lbs of ice. There was maybe 20. We had to ask the "on-site coordinator", which was really just a young adult and her boyfriend who not to mention were asleep when we went to ask, for more ice. We were not told upon signing the venue was being sold to new owners, which we wish we had known. We toured with Charmin Skipper, who like her name suggests, brought all the charm to this place. We were disappointed to find out she would not be the on site coordinator on our wedding day as previously discussed. The grooms suite was INFESTED with crickets. Of course for the time of year and location it is nearly impossible to keep them out completely, but it wasn't just 3-10. It was around 200 in the grooms suite, NO exaggeration. Did they not inspect the area prior to us entering??? The only other negative part of our experience was being extremely rushed to leave the building. I mean lights being turned off by the coordinators before we were even out the door. It felt like we were kicked out, left a sour taste on what's supposed to be a memorable night. Like I said, not horrible, but not great. What motivated me to write this review is because I randomly received this text from Karen, the owner yesterday. I constantly get posts on my Facebook feed regarding MGR because we're both in wedding groups, I simply haven't left the groups and they are looking for clients of course. Nothing wrong with that. In promotional posts they've made, or others posted by other people, I've made comments saying "we got married here, feel free to message me if you have any questions about our experience" or along the lines of this. Nothing negative just offering feedback about our experience! So to receive a threat from the owner to be pressed charges against over MY opinion that I'm ENTITLED to have because of course we paid to have our wedding here, is absurd. No wonder the recent reviews are so bad, and not surprised to hear they're up for sale AGAIN. You cannot silence people for having an opinion, Karen. I didn't even say anything bad, but again she couldn't bother responding when I asked what she was talking about.

After I asked follow-up questions, they even said they were "surprised I was still interested," which felt completely unprofessional.

There was no effort to accommodate or provide helpful information. Overall, the customer service was poor and left me feeling unwelcome.
