I contacted this venue to ask about availability and pricing, and the experience was very…read moredisappointing. Their responses felt rude and dismissive from the start. After I asked follow-up questions, they even said they were "surprised I was still interested," which felt completely unprofessional. I made it clear that I was flexible with dates, but they simply told me no to the ones I asked about and didn't offer any alternatives. There was no effort to accommodate or provide helpful information. Overall, the customer service was poor and left me feeling unwelcome.

So here's how it works. The Castle at Rockwall is owned by Edible Ideas, and you MUST use their…read moresubsidiary, Beyond the Box Catering for your food. They are based out of Dallas, and you have to go to their office/ commissary in Dallas for your tasting. The onsite operations manager is Alfredo, and he is just fantastic. Helpful, knowledgeable, thoughtful and very responsive. The venue is beautiful, with lots of light, lots of space, and you pretty much have free reign to decorate how you wish. The food on the day of the wedding was delicious. The charcuterie table was like nothing I've seen...beautiful and made you eat with your eyes. But the journey to get there? Aye yi yi. The tasting was a disaster. My sister called me after crying that it was so bad they couldn't serve it to their guests and wanted a different caterer. We were told emphatically we couldn't. Her fiancée asked me if maybe they forgot they were coming and just pulled stuff from the fridge. They didn't feel that they were taken seriously when giving feedback about how bad the food was. The problem is that you have to work with Angela, the "Venue/Catering Manager" of the Castle. This is a problem for many reasons: 1) She has absolutely no understanding of food. Or catering, or pricing, or her venue. (She told us that they serve jumbo shrimp with fajitas, when in fact, they serve BAY shrimp, which is what you get in a 99 cent cocktail in Vegas, among the tons of other nonsensical information) 2) Almost every single question that was asked of her, she had to ask the chef, her boss (the owner, Doug), Alfredo the ops manager. You would think that after 25 years with this company, she would have a better understanding of this company and her venue 2) She will definitively tell you that she is not the wedding coordinator. (Not exactly sure what her role is.). She did NOTHING on the day of the event except hide in her office. 3) There was no follow up after the wedding with an invoice, receipt, "thank you for coming", "how was everything", etc In summary: This is a beautiful venue and the onsite staff are terrific. But if you are not a seasoned catering person, please hire someone who is, to do the planning with Angela.

I attended a wedding here this past weekend. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. No doubt about that…read more There was plenty of room for dancing, conversation, outside activities, buffet line, etc. My only complaint is that I was treated rudely by the staff when I tried to order a drink at the open bar. I did not know that it was past time for the bar to close; if they would have simply pointed that out, it would have been perfectly fine. Instead, I was told by one bartender that she would not serve me. I went to the next one, and the mother of the bride ordered my drink for me. The second bartender started making my drink and the first bartender made him pour it out. So weird. Meanwhile, she's making drinks for another guest. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. It was a strange, negative end to a beautiful day, however.

Market Affair is one of those places that instantly makes you say, "Okay wow... I did NOT expect…read morethis." It's a huge, open space, packed with interesting, creative, and genuinely fun vendor booths. I was there during the annual Farmersville Chocolate Walk, and their participation was spectacular. A beautiful table dedicated to chocolate (see my pics). It was clear they were completely all-in and proof why they're such a staple in the community. Beyond shopping, Market Affair doubles as an event venue, and it's a fantastic one. The space can easily host a bridal shower, baby shower, wedding reception, family reunion, and honestly so much more. It's open, versatile, and thoughtfully designed so it actually feels special .. not like you're renting a random room and hoping for the best. The owner even showed me a sneak peek of what's coming next: a new beer and wine space with a gorgeous, sexy vibe that's going to take this place to another level. Yes... sexy beer and wine vibes in Farmersville lol They host events throughout the year, and you can tell when you talk to the owner, this isn't just a business it's a passion project. Places like this don't exist without heart, vision, and a lot of hard work, and it shows! If you're thinking, I don't live near Farmersville... Google Map it. You'll be surprised how close it really is. Make it an adventure. I recommend that you look up the next Farmersville event and attend. Hidden gem energy! Worth the drive!

Cork & Brew was an unexpected but fun find in Commerce. The layout and atmosphere are fun and…read moremodern but also not over the top. Many bars in college towns become trashy but Cork & Brew is a classy establishment. Hence the name, Cork & Brew offers a wide variety of wines and beers to choose from. Can't decide? Go with a flight. Beer flights are common but the wine flight was fun to try different kinds. They source local beers as well as more established breweries. The good menu isn't extensive but they take standard bar food and make it classier. Upon recommendation we tried the giant pretzel (seriously it was giant! Two people could barely finish it and 3-4 would have a decent snack) which came with tasty mustard and melted cheese sauces for dipping. I thought the food prices were pretty standard but the drink prices were a little more affordable than you'd find in a bigger city. Overall, I'd definitely recommend going to Cork & Brew if you're in Commerce and I hope they succeed.
