I was a guest of a wedding over Memorial Day weekend at this spectacular venue…read more It was the second planning of my friends' wedding, the first of which got caught up in a well-documented scandal at a another nearby wedding venue. I'm told they lost all their money in that deal. Making Bella Vista happen for them was a three month money and planning scramble for a young couple that lacked the financial resources to make up for the loss. Luckily, by delaying their event by just one day on the same weekend, they came out the true winners. I'll leave the details at that because I had no involvement in the wedding arrangements other than showing up and enjoying this couple's special day and happy occasion. But I will say this. If you're looking for a scenic wedding or meeting venue with a gorgeous overlook of Lake Palestine, ample parking, and a very genial staff, look no further than Bella Vista. They make lifetime memories at Bella Vista, yours included. They keep their word, honor their commitments, and won't leave you rode hard and put up wet.

I got married at Castle on the Lake on December 5, 2015. From the beginning when we found the venue…read morewe knew it would be perfect, and it didn't disappoint. My husband and I had a Renaissance/Game of Thrones themed wedding, with everyone in costume. Britain (coordinator at the Castle) really got into the theme and was open to all of our ideas, as well as offering some very on-point ideas of her own. Everything from being okay with people wearing swords to planning a feast complete with a whole roasted pig and turkey legs was spot on. Britain made it very easy for us to plan this wedding, and I'm glad because it was still stressful in the last couple months! Cakes, DJ, decor, and catering were all provided by the Castle. All we had to do was share our ideas with Britain and she made them reality. The day of, the venue was beautiful and everything went smoothly. We had absolutely zero stress. The cakes provided by D'anne were gorgeous as well as delicious. Not only did Britain and the Castle's wonderful staff make our wedding day extra special and perfect; the whole thing was surprisingly affordable. Any extras were priced and worked out beforehand, so there were no surprise huge bills the day of. Oh, if you decide to have an event at this awesome place, definitely get the fireworks. They're totally worth it. The guests were speechless, and that really revved up the party!

I got married in October of this year at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club and I do NOT recommend them due…read moreto their greediness, carelessness, lack of professionalism and lack of communication. My family and I tried to resolve this with their event manager first. She refused to give us the owner's info. When we finally got it from another source, we wanted to give the owner a chance to make things right but she did nothing. We cared about our wedding a lot, especially after having to make the heartbreaking decision to reschedule from 2020. If you are planning a wedding I know you care too and so I feel obligated to to warn people to NOT book at Lake Tyler Petroleum Club. They were blatantly greedy throughout the entire process and the for the quality of service provided was poor. LTPC insisting they "had to charge us because of the fees from vendors" was dishonest. I asked every single vender what their fee had been to only be informed there hadn't been a fee. Charging us for changing the date in the first place due to a pandemic that quite literally shut down the world and our state is wrong. The lack of communication amongst their staff is glaring and their unprofessionalism in their emails appalling. (They accidentally forwarded me an email thread where they had clearly been talking badly about me!) DO NOT BOOK HERE!!!

I can't believe no one has written a review for this place yet! LTPC is incredibly beautiful and…read morethe staff was so helpful when I was planning my wedding. Always just a phone call, email, or even text message away to answer all my questions! My hair stylist fell through a week before my wedding but wonderful Abby was quick to share the contact information of her friend (who is SO TALENTED!!!) and take away the stress that can come during wedding week. And the venue itself.... wow! All you see wherever you look is beautiful Lake Tyler. My only regret is not spending more time there!!

You could not see all of the children because of the tall blow ups and there was little to no supervision. After 15 minutes we were rushed into another room for cake and opening presents.

The kids barely got to play on the bouncing area for about an hour before they blew the whistles and shuffled us into the next room for cake and gifts. During gifts, the hostess just stood off to the side awkwardly. We paid for 24 children and had 5 show up. They provide ONE Capri sun to each child, as well as dollar tree plates and forks. My husband asked if he could have a juice, and the hostess told him no. We paid $300 for a party of five children and they couldn't spare a single Capri-Sun. Definitely changed my opinion on the establishment, will never be returning.
