The Food; tacos, fajitas, beef and chicken, and the rice were delicious! The cake Dash strawberry and cake pops brownies were additionally, very delicious.

Being in the winter time, heaters were to be available. Should have been on standby and placed in the area should it get too cold, which was the case! Many of the attendees including myself, were cold! The heaters were not on standby, and everyone were uncomfortably cold throughout the ceremony. Some thing that the wedding coordinator should have taken care of. Other observations were that the food was not ready and attendees had to wait , some of the soft drinks such as Ginger ale ran out, and the bartender had to get someone to acquire more The bartender was great also! Many of our dishes were not clean at our table and had to be replaced. As I understand it, the colors that were promised in the flowers, and table arrangements, and the bouquets were not the colors of the wedding, and had to be remade at the last minute the morning of the wedding! Very stressful For the bride! I do not feel these details were unreasonable, and the wedding coordinator should have taken care of these details at minimum.

I recently attended an event as a guest and it was lovely…read more The bride entered from a staircase within but the wedding party was in the foyer as we entered the bldg. (We weren't late but close. I'm guessing otherwise it wouldn't have been crowded.) The beams and chandelier were beautiful! We were towards the back and viewing the wedding party was almost impossible. It would have been helpful if they were elevated a bit. We waited outside as they transformed the barn to reception ready. It wasn't fast but the weather was great and enjoyed a beautiful view and sunset. We left before the reception so I can't review the service.

First the location is beautiful and the amenities were clean and kept up…read more Service was the problem, as a guest when we asked someone about water we were informed they only did one pour, anything else we had to go to the bar to get. Also the person we asked could barley look up from her phone to answer us. They were serving alcohol but they could have had a water table so guests could at least serve themselves. You always have many older people at weddings and walking and waiting at a bar is not an option for them. I know they had to pivot on the service because of rain but we waited in line for drinks for 30 minutes, while they cut limes and lemons. I know they had to set up the bar but I feel like the garnishes for drinks should have already been cut ahead of time. When you have staff sitting in the front right by the bar and front door in chairs I would only assume that are meant for guests on their phones this does not say professional at all. I don't know what the family paid for the venue and I know they are busy attending to family and friends, so they might not notice, but as a guest it was hard not to notice. Once again the venue is beautiful, but the service did not match the beauty of the venue.

We had our wedding at The Redwood Estate on 10/4/25. We stayed at The Lodge on site for the weekend…read morewhich was super convenient. We were able to have our wedding party stay for the weekend and had our rehearsal dinner at The Lodge. Our ceremony was on the lawn and reception was inside the red barn. The venue went under new ownership before our wedding day, and the new owner has made some very tasteful upgrades since we first toured which was a pleasant surprise! Caroline was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. John the groundskeeper was also very helpful and friendly our entire stay. They made sure that our big day was perfect. My only minor complaint was that the barn was pretty hot during our reception. Overall I would highly recommend this venue!

Do not book!!!!! I made an effort to return your phone call this morning to discuss our wedding and…read moreaccommodations experience. Please review below: I contacted Caroline on August 29 at 10:58 to gain access to the lodging. She informed me of the entry gate code and told me to refer to the document details for the house code. The groundskeepers were still working at the rear of the house as well as at the venue. I was unable to access or utilize the garage space for storing event supplies, necessitating the transport of supplies into the house. The maintenance crew indicated that all of their supplies were present but could not be utilized. I sent Caroline photographs depicting the damage in the basement refrigerator and the old items that had been left behind. There was no toilet paper available in the restrooms. At 5 PM, I texted Caroline to inform her that the showers in the two restrooms were not functioning. Our guests were informed by your maintenance crew that the lodging had not been booked or used for some time. This situation caused an inconvenience that delayed our rehearsal by 30 minutes, as we had only 1.5 hours to rehearse and unpack the ceremony supplies. On August 30, as I was preparing food, I noticed that the kitchen sink was draining slowly and that the ceiling light above the sink was leaking because of the rain. Additionally, the garbage disposal was not functioning. As I was loading my car with supplies to leave the lodging, I found that the gate was stuck. I called Caroline to notify her of the issue. Ultimately, I had to climb over the gate to gain access at the entryway and walk back to my car in the rain. I was informed that you were upset about the grass before what was an extremely stressful day before the wedding ceremony. There was a lack of empathy in waiting until the event concluded or having a side discussion about it. During our conversation 30 days prior, I inquired whether we could bring the golf cart. I was assured that we could, and no guidance or policy was provided. Furthermore, I have never heard of a golf cart damaging grass. The venue's ceiling was leaking at what we refer to as the altar. Considering all of these factors, it is reasonable to conclude that you did not adequately check the lodging to ensure it met the standards necessary for guests to experience and enjoy quality family time. We were also advised that we could check in at midnight on August 29, while we had guests sleeping in their rentals and spread throughout the home. Caroline is a kind person who genuinely tries her best. However, I would not recommend Red Barn to anyone. Lodging should never be offered if it has not been properly prepared and thoroughly checked before guests arrive. Furthermore, I am requesting the complete reimbursement of my deposits for the venue and accommodation, as well as a reduction in the cost of this experience. Thank you

Looking forward to returning for their outdoor concerts in the Fall. We did the tour where we also poured a bottle to take home. Flavor of the month is watermelon.

This came up on my Facebook and since I was planning on going to see the tulips it only made since…read moreto stop here as well since I was I the area. I had reserved a tour for 3 (I highly recommend that you do the tour and if you choose to do a tour that you make reservations in advance as they sell out) and initially I did 2 with bottle fills and one tour. The tours come with a ticket for a drink so that was a nice little extra. As the tour started Ryan & Diego (our fabulous guides) gave us some history of how the company started and as well as the process of how the vodka is made. We got to mix our bottle (as we got the lemon) and fill our bottles. We also got to put the caps on the bottle and see how the line works. At the end of the tour, we also got to taste some vodka. After the tour we decided to go get our drinks and the staff inside were just as kind as the staff taking us on the tour. There are so many drink options that I wasn't sure what I wanted as they have so many flavored vodkas. I was told I could sample the vodkas which I was grateful for as it helped me make a decision. My cousin got the raspberry cobbler and the Bloody Mary - the raspberry was sweet but good and I don't like bloody Mary's but I'd drink this one! I got the blueberry lemon, the prickly pear and the front porch . . . All were good to me. When we were there they had some guys playing music inside which was a little loud but sitting on the porch, it was nice to hear. They also had a pizza food truck outside and my cousin said the pizza was really good. If I could make a suggestion to the establishment I would ask them to PLEASE sell flights! Please please please as there were so many drinks that I wanted to try but unless I was gonna sleep in the parking lot I knew I shouldn't but I guess it's also a reason to come back!

Please read the entire review, as there are both positive and negative comments…read more Ever After Chapel in Aubrey, Texas has charm and unique character. The building is 150 years old with original wood, windows, and flooring. The chapel itself needs little to nothing to have a beautiful ceremony. I would recommend you ONLY rent out only this portion of the venue. If you choose to rent out the entire place for the day please continue to read. Lets begin with the parking, very limited and there are no designated signs where the parking is. It is a grassy field on the southwest side of the chapel.The outside (yard) has great twinkling lights and a firepit (you need to provide your own wood.) You are able to use outside vendors, DJ, and photographers. If you rent a dance floor you must use the one Judy (manages the place) states. With that being said, the floor installers came the day of the wedding and placed the floor down in the area under the lights. Judy did not like it there and had them pull it up and move it over. It was then uneven with many ridges sticking up. We felt the guests would trip and the structural engineer stated it was a hazard too, but Judy wanted it there. Judy is the person we did all our communication and contract with. She made it appear that we would have free range to set up as we saw fit and there would be onsite help.This was absolutely not the case. I will bullet the following things you need to be aware of if you choose to use Ever After Chapel. $3000 for chapel and back yard, plus $150 for rehearsal for 1.5 hours Inside Room(IR) for cake/food/etc, lights worked on only 1/2 of the room. Bride room, no lights, no air AC was not on or did not work IR was very dirty, live and dead bugs present IR no running water IR you are unable to move tables or any furniture. This made thing VERY difficult IR bartenders/caters NOT allowed There are a couple of other items to consider when using this venue. Tables and chairs for reception are very dated and many were held together with gray tape; they need to be replaced. There is no assistance with set up or breakdown. Website states "You make the choices, and we take care of all the details," "Our wedding packages eliminate the stress of putting together your special day and eliminate the added expense of an outside wedding coordinator," Not true. Judy was onsite the entire time and was very intrusive and made setting up very difficult at times. Examples to follow: During rehearsal she wanted everyone to remove their shoes Had the dance floor removed to a less level area Wanted/tried to have the wedding party come in the chapel in the order she suggested Sat in the room, monitoring the IR, made us feel very uncomfortable. Should have been on site if she felt it necessary, but in an office or somewhere, not with wedding guests. Gave our photo booth installer a very difficult time about NOT wanting to move 2 chairs that were not needed in the area of the booth. At the time of the reception, stated why we didn't get security since booze would be on site. This was NEVER mentioned verbally or on the contract. Structural engineer was called out twice. He was at the wedding with his dog. Judy provided some good suggestions to where the DJ should set up, as well as where the guest book should be. Overall, I wish I would have known several of the bullets prior to selecting this venue. The Chapel is quaint and I'd recommend that portion ONLY, if you are willing to pay $1500.
