Beautiful rustic chic wedding venue in historic Kaufman, Texas about 30 minutes from Dallas…read more The building was an old bank from the 1800's so it has lots of old raw brick and cool architecture. Book your wedding at least 8 to 10 months in advance and know that it won't let you down on the most important day of your life. Typically, they perform the wedding, then everyone goes outside and you can serve your beverages while they turn the venue into your wedding reception. It actually works out well; I was surprised but they know what they are doing. Trust it! There are lots of places to take pictures including across the street where there is a vacant lot with a beautiful brick wall and the stairway leading up to the bride and groom dressing rooms and the entire venue inside is so charming. The owner that runs this place does a good job but needs to work on a few things like making sure the restrooms are clean, fixing the hand towel dispenser and cleaning the kitchen prep area. I would have given this place 5 stars had it been clean...:-/

This review is long overdue. I got married at this wonderful and beautiful venue in December 2015…read more The owner, April, is absolutely amazing. Due to some personal reasons, we had to move the date of the wedding and she was very accommodating and understanding. Sheila was our wedding coordinator for the wedding and everything fell perfectly into place. The ability to purchase an all-inclusive wedding relieved so much stress. The cake was so tasty and included in the price. We wanted an outdoor wedding but it was too cold. Due to religious purposes, the chapel was not an option. We were able to hold our small ceremony and reception inside the house. Beautiful and elegant. I cannot say enough about this place, owner and staff.

Cute venue but the responsiveness is ridiculous! We booked this venue for our wedding and paid…read morealmost $2k deposit but then April never provided us with the contract and stopped responding to our emails once she had our money. If you're a bride planning a wedding and going on 2+ weeks to get any answers from your venue, good luck with this place. What a scam! I definitely do not recommend this place at all. Stick to venues that will actually be professional and responsive.

So first I'll say that this venue is beautiful. However, the owner has a hateful personality. I was…read morein a wedding not too long ago and she was hateful. She over stepped when it came to decorating our tables. She was hateful to the brides mother questioning every little thing she did. The mom finally said "I'm doing what the bride wants. This is what she asked for so I'm going to do what she asked." Kim proceeded to say "well then I think it's time for you to go get your dress on...". If anyone had talked to my mama like that on MY wedding day she would have had another thing coming. So inappropriate to be that condescending and hateful to anyone but even more so to the BRIDES MOTHER. They also got upset with us for having the bridal suite door open for fresh cool air while we were getting ready. I was getting my makeup done and had my eyes closed and had no idea that the girls had opened the door up to cool it down. I went downstairs to grab food and was asked how the temp was a said it was great(again didn't realize we had our door open to cool it down). Anyways went back up and continued getting ready. Kim busts into the room saying "what do you need" and closes the back door. The girls said "oh it got a little hot so we opened the door up" she then said "what do you need" again. Not "oh we can lower the temp for y'all". Hateful tone the whole time. OH AND they had a tour going on while we were all getting ready for the wedding... that's super tacky. Also I hope your feet don't hurt when it comes to dancing in your shoes because if you take them off you will get yelled at as well. I know they are new to the business but they really need an attitude adjustment or they will flop. I don't know if they were having an off day or what based upon the reviews. They must have a different attitude when giving tours. I only liked one of the staff members and I really wish I could remember her name because she was extremely sweet. I believe her name is Megan.

Beautiful Venue & Incredible Host!…read more This place is a hidden gem! The owners came out early, helped with everything, and were so kind in doing things they weren't even required to do! The wedding was one of the most enjoyable weddings I've ever been to and this venue was part of making that happen! I have nothing negative to say about the location. They had a beautiful suite for the bridal party and a great spot for the guys to get ready and hang out (play poker) before the wedding. We LOVED it! I highly recommend!

A Thousand Cedars is absolutely beautiful. It is an intimate place to get married with indoor and…read moreoutdoor options. High ceilings and lots of windows with gorgeous wood paneling. Very neat walkway from the parking lot to the ceremony location. Lit at night for an extra special touch. The staff were nice and came and picked us up when we got there and brought us to the front door. It had rained a good bit the day before, so it was pretty muddy, but my truck had no issues getting out of there. The sound was great, and the bartender was great. Bathrooms were clean. There is an amazing balcony over the indoor ballroom and to the outside. I didn't get to see inside of the bride and groom suites, but pictures on their website look nice.

Could a day be more perfect? We just got married on 9.21.24. First impression seeing the venue we…read moreknew we wanted to get married here - such a beautiful, timeless venue. Cassidy - the venue manager was above and beyond - starting with our first meeting and now even after the wedding she's kept in touch. She was always answering my texts - when I thought of a question throughout the wedding planning process. The day of the wedding Cassidy was available all day long at the venue. Not just available - checking in, wanting to help, making sure the bride and groom were taken care of. Cassidy along with her team were able to flip the venue (inside from ceremony to reception) SO quick and efficiently even with our centerpieces. The day was seamless and easy, I never heard of one mishap. Guests seem to love the venue as well - if they weren't dancing with the bride on the dance floor, they were sitting at their tables chatting with friends, outside playing cornhole with the groom, or exploring the grounds the venue. Cassidy worked incredibly well with our photographer, she would find her when we were taking pictures and tagged along to assist - holding the bride's bouquet, fixing positioning, little details. During all of this Cassidy was snapping pictures/videos on her phone for A Thousand Cedars content, which she shared with us. I'm so glad she did this because photography takes a little while to get back, but Cassidy had her pictures ready to send. This was so nice because we were too busy living in the moment and taking it all in. Now we have pictures to look back on. Cassidy is such a sweet, kind, funny person who made us extremely comfortable and excited. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone. We are such a low maintenance couple who had no idea how to plan a wedding - Cassidy was there to help and made it perfect. A gorgeous venue with amazing staff. Please get married here, you won't regret it. Currently writing this review on our honeymoon - that should show you how passionately we feel about it. (Will add pictures once we get them back)

She took our money to quarantine 3 mini donkeys and a mule. They said they were sick. We sent $2,000 for meds. We were told everyone was out of the woods. Happy and chubby I think were her words. There were never pictures even though we repeatedly asked. She went on vacation and the day she comes back says one donkey needed to be euthanized. We asked for pictures. It took a day to get only a head shot of the donkey and another day to get a body shot. We moved our animals as fast as we could. The rest looked better at the kill pen then being on her care for a month. I wish i had checked a little deeper into her business. I only put a star because Yelp wouldn't let me post without
