This place is everything one could ask for, a beautiful setting bordering Lake Texoma, walking trails, comfortable and lovely motel rooms, each with a view of the lake, And to top all this is the always super food service. The Prothro dining staff creates outstanding meal options, and they are wonderfully caring and conscience of any special dietary needs. We often ask for recipes and they are quick to oblige. We like to think we are a group experiencing special attention, but we know that every group at Prothro UMC Retreat Center has the same idea! We already have our group scheduled for our 2026 retreat!

This cotton mill manufactured the largest amount of denim material in the world at one time. The structure sat abandoned for years until enterprising entrepreneurs repurposed it as office space and venue. I recommend you visit to inspect the " bones" of the original construction.

This is a cute venue. I love the history behind it. Although it's a bit high priced compared to…read moreother places when you look at space, ceiling height, accommodations etc. In the reception area the ceiling is lower than other places and there's a lot of pillars that make the space seem cramped. The lighting where they request you to set up the wedding party table is very dimly lit so you'll need to bring some sort of lighting. There isn't a ton of parking so make sure your guests carpool. You're required to use caterers off their list. I think the list had about 6-7 on it. The room they offer for weddings inside is a hallway. Literally a hallway. It's definitely not worth the $1,500 price tag they put on it. I would recommend using the outdoor space if you can. It's spacious and looks like a spot you'd have a wedding. It's perfect for an October wedding! The woman who showed us the venue spent maybe ten minutes with us. We felt a little rushed. But then again it was 7pm so maybe she was ready to go home. We never did get a follow up call or email from her. I didn't quite get that warm feeling from them. It felt very corporate. They book up pretty quick so you'll want to schedule your date here way in advance. Overall a cute place to have a wedding. Just make sure you hire someone to bring in lighting and you book your wedding not in peak season or you'll have to book two years out. Update: I received a message from the woman who did my tour. 1) She addressed me as Samantha. My name is Stefanie. Therefore she showed a lack of attention to detail 2) She stated she was in a hurry because she was showing 2 groups at the same time. During our tour she told us we were the last group and there was no one here so we were free to wander around wherever. We never saw a second group or couple looking around. 3) She was confused by my comment about lack of parking. Due to her lack of information and not telling us they apparently have a second parking lot, how were we to know there was additional parking elsewhere other than the one small lot we saw when we pulled in? 4) Regarding the head table. During our tour she told us that's where they put the head table. There was no comment about it being able to be elsewhere. She said that's where it will be set up for your event so it didn't even sound negotiable. My review still stands.

With close to 90 people in attendance the food and the atmosphere was to die for. Everything was beautifully presented. First came the Savory course with sandwiches and other Tasties. There were 12 different selections of savories includingfresh baked scones served with fresh Swan Crossing honey and jams. Then there was a short lecture during which time there was a quick change over to the Sweets part of the menu. The selection of dessert items seemed endless. They served over 15 different types of deserts on the buffet . There were little brownies cradled on small plates with Italian maraschino cherries or after dinner mint-chocolate brownies, fresh baked cookies, lemon-raspberry petit-fours and then there were hand pies filled with Swan Crossing's pear mincemeat. That was lovely just the right amount of spice to the fruit. I also always enjoy the flavored waters. This year the big hit was the prickly -pear hibiscus water. Brewed fresh by our hostess That one ran out quick. I loved the photo op which was new this year. All the lovely hats were made by the owner Marian Tworek. There were hats in every color so no matter what someone wore to the event, there was a hat to match. We all enjoyed trying on the hearts and getting our pictures taken. All in all another great event to recommend to my friends.
