We absolutely loved having our elopement and later our ceremony celebration at Avalon Legacy Ranch! The entire team there was extremely welcoming and supportive throughout the entire experience from first contact through after the events. The venue is beautiful and very well cared for. Our guest had a wonderful time and loved it as well! Reviewed on 28-11-2023

Beautiful wedding, easy planning, great staffAvalon Legacy Ranch is an absolutely stunning venue that requires minimal work on the coupleās end to create a gorgeous wedding, and whose cost comes in well below its value. There are a ton of great, very fairly priced value adds available like a photo trailer, farmhouse tables, and some great onsite decor. The venue is beautiful enough on its own that we skipped a florist. We were able to go very minimal on external decorations, we did some simple centerpieces with things like vases, bird cages and candleholders Avalon had on hand, we paid maybe one vendor delivery fee for linens setup. The outdoor ceremony space was perfect as-is, and needed nothing more from us. The getting-ready space is massive and well-appointed; we had about 15 women between both of our wedding parties and there was plenty of space for everyone to get ready.Debi took us all over the property during our cocktail hour to make sure we got great photos. The venue was well staffed for a very seamless day. Reviewed on 26-11-2023

I can't say enough good words about this venue and staff. I've actually made life long friends with Alee (onsite coordinator). I still to this day have people telling me our wedding was one of the most beautiful they've been to and I barely used any decorations, I relied on Avalon Legacy Ranch's natural beauty. There were no regrets having our wedding here. We could even bring our dogs!! Reviewed on 22-11-2023

We had our post-elopement celebration here and it was a dream come true. Debi, Alee, and Hannah were all wonderful to work with and really did their best to make sure we had everything we needed and that the day ran smoothly. They are excellent at communicating and will answer any questions youāve got. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue is.

Avalon Legacy Ranch is an amazing venue! We had our wedding in October 2023 and the weather was perfect. The staff is incredible - we highly recommend hiring Alee as your month of coordinator. She will go above and beyond for you. The venue itself is beautiful and requires minimal additional decor to make it look like a million bucks. Reviewed on 24-10-2023

When planning a wedding out of town, an extra layer of nervousness crept in when I was choosing my venue, as I knew I would only have a limited amount of \"hands on\" interactions with my vendors. Avalon Legacy Ranch and their staff made that anxiety fade with every email exchange and phone call. Not only do they have a list of vendors for each component of the wedding, and every one I talked to and used was wonderful. The Team at Avalon was also amazingly accommodating, thorough and expedient. Alee Ladd was my main point of contact as well as the day of coordinator and I couldn't have had a smoother wedding day. I never felt uneasy and all of my questions were answered before I even asked. I never had to wonder about where something was or was going to be. To add an extra cherry on top the venue itself is so beautiful can cut down on costs of decorations, and the selection of in house decor was excellent if you do want to add some pizzaz. I also wanted to give a special thank you and shout out to Heather as she was with me in the dressing room for the final moments before walking out to the ceremony and probably saw me at my most nervous and helped me remain calm enough to walk down the stairs without tripping and for that alone I want to say thank you! Thankfully though I have many things to say thank you for and if they could pack up the experience and travel I would recommend this venue and the wonderful team to every bride I knew! But in leu of that, I will recommend it to anyone that reads this review! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts- The Smiths Reviewed on 17-10-2023

We got married here a few weeks ago on a Friday with around 70 guests and it was truly magical! I never had any concerns that they day would go well especially since we also hired Alee as our month & day-of coordinator, who was all around super nice and easy to work with (highly reco!) Our vision was executed near flawlessly and our overall goal for a relaxed day was absolutely achieved. We DID get rain right before our First Look, but the bridal suite was perfectly suitable as a backupā¦and we got more rain right before our scheduled ceremony time, but Alee, Heather & team were still able to help us get married outside after checking the radar and recommending a short delay. And in the meantime, our guests were kept comfortable inside the main house AND happy since we were allowed to open the bar early! Double win and one of the many benefits of getting married here. We'd be remiss if we didnāt mention how beautiful and lush the garden / surrounding trees looked - shoutout to Debi for planting more flowers that morning, we saw you! Overall, ALR has a ton of value for the cost, have relationships with fantastic vendors (used several of them), and is run by a wonderful, kind, and flexible team of women! Thank you again!

Elizabeth Ashmore(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 17-10-2021 Avalon Legacy Ranch was the perfect location for my big day. Originally we chose this venue based on its outdoor ceremony and reception areas not knowing what would happen with COVID-19. I also wanted something outdoors without leaning too far into the barn/country theme I'd seen at a lot of other venues. Avalon is rustic but its natural beauty goes well with any wedding style or theme you can dream up. Alee and Debi, were both so helpful during the 10-month planning process. Debi sent timely reminders and updates about everything from event insurance to day-of-event reminders. I ended up hiring Alee to help me with month-of/day-of wedding coordination and that was the best money we spent during the entire process - no lie. Alee, already knowing the venue, was a PRO at helping me on my wedding day. She kept me apprised of the time and what was next on the schedule (I was missing my apple watch that day!), she made sure I got something to eat, that I got time to breathe with my new husband, she handled all of the tiny bits of turbulence that comes up on a wedding day. I love her - truly. I wish I could take her home with me! Back to the ranch, the bridal suite had a ton of space and the groomsmen's room was perfect with a tv and couches. I cannot wait to see the photos so I can share how beautiful the venue's grounds were. Immaculate gardens and everything was spotless indoors and out. And would you believe they had a wedding there the night before??? I showed up at 10 am and everything was sparkling clean. Another plus: their preferred vendor list was chock full of rock stars. We found our caterer, DJ, and bartenders from that list. Avalon Legacy Ranch in McKinney is the perfect place to feel like you are having a destination wedding while being only 12 minutes from the highway. Book your wedding here! Reviewed on 26-10-2021

I came to them with little to no ideas for what I wanted to experience. Debi, being who she is, made magic out of NOTHING.My husband knew we wanted to get married but being in the middle of a pandemic and losing our jobs we had nowhere to start. Debi took a huge load off of us in the midst of her own series of wedding cancellations. This is just a small testament to her heart and the REAL work she does each day. You have to see it for yourself. We started with a simple idea and Debi and her staff worked their magic and brought it to life. She made sure we had the most amazing vendors on our special day by providing us with a list of people sheās worked with and some that have been wanting to work with her. If you think you don't need a team of heartfelt people, think again, and if you think you can go with just anyone THINK AGAIN! DEBI LADD IS IT!Debi is a top-notch venue owner and I am incredibly BLESSED to have had her help and by my side throughout the entire planning process. She always made us feel as though she had everything 100% under control. Trust me, you want to get married at this venue!! Debi is a wedding genius! It's like she was reading my mind!!

Ashley Rath(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-11-2018 Avalon Legacy Ranch and the entire team there are absolutely INCREDIBLE! My husband and I got married at ALR in November of 2018 and almost two years later I still would not change a single thing. From our first tour we knew we wanted to get married there but looked at a few other venues just to be sure, and nothing even compared! Every single inch of this venue, both inside and outside, has clearly been given so much love and detailed attention from the staff and it really shines through. The house and deck are gorgeous, the walk down to the outdoor chapel is beautiful, and the outdoor chapel itself is amazing (pictures donāt even do this venue justice)!One of my biggest concerns with having an outdoor wedding in Texas during November was the weather. Would it be 30 degrees or 100 degrees? Would it be sunny and amazing or pouring rain? Luckily at ALR it really doesnāt matter either way. Their ābackupā ceremony location on the deck is equally as gorgeous as the outdoor ceremony site and they have plenty of ways to help you combat the Texas heat or cold! When I say they are prepared to help you with anythingā¦.they really are! They are very flexible with vendors but can also give you great recommendations if you arenāt sure who to use. There was also a lot of flexibility around scheduling times for tours, engagement photos, and rehearsal times, which was extremely helpful since we lived two hours away. As a whole, the venue is run by incredible people who clearly take pride in their work and want to make each wedding as wonderful as possible. Our entire wedding day ended up being so filled with joy and love (with 0% stress) and a huge part of that was because of the venue and the people who run it.We also chose to use Alee as our month of coordinator and WOW she is so sweet and wonderful. Alee is an incredible human and was the reassuring voice that you just sometimes need, especially when youāre trying to figure out how to plan a wedding. She helped us through some last minute planning, rehearsals (both on the deck and at the chapel because I always feel the need to be prepared lol), she handled setting up the decor, she helped keep everyone on track, made sure my stuff got into our getaway car, got us to our exit, sent us off with some leftovers from the caterer, and was just overall so incredibly wonderful!

She was so easy-going and 100% honest and upfront about everything when we spoke with her. When touring the venue, it was nice to have someone who didnāt make me feel like she was so obviously trying to sell the venue, she just presented it to us and let us make our on decision.

The venue is gorgeous and they had a backup plan for rain (which we didn't have to use! Yay!).

The best part about Avalon is no matter what guest count you have it will feel just right. Highly recommended. Our theme was enchanted forest, and the way the tables are set up, you really feel like youāre in the forest. Thatās hard to find in the Dallas area! There are 3 gazebos with glass fire pits for colder evenings, and the interior is air conditioned. If you need one, there is an outdoor chapel thatās really charming.

Kelly Kraft(parent)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-04-2019 As the father of the bride, I was always concerned with the price of things especially when \"wedding\" is attached to its value. Avalon Legacy Ranch was the first place my daughter visited and she knew from the moment she stepped onsite that this was the place. As the \"money man\" I was shocked at the value we were getting compared to some other pricing we had heard from other venues. The venue is absolutely gorgeous! From the outside chapel to the cabana's with fire pits, it was everything my daughter (and me) were looking for. Alee and her staff were professional and on point every time we had contact with them. My daughter wanted to make several trips to the venue after booking to check on miscellaneous items and the were always accommodating. Alee helped us immensely in coordinating vendors and pointing us in the right direction several times to the point she actually saved money. The morning of the wedding was basically a monsoon outside and they made provisions for an indoor ceremony at the reception hall. Luckily 30 minutes prior to the service the rain stopped and the entire staff pivoted back to an outside ceremony without any complaints or hesitation and pulled it off. It was a very special day and at very special place. If I had to do it all over again we would still pick Avalon Legacy Ranch. Reviewed on 16-04-2019

We proceeded to look at about 8 other venues and everything paled in comparison! Alee and the Avalon Legacy crew were absolutely amazing. Any questions I had were answered immediately, I was given all kinds of advice, and I even hired Alee to be my wedding coordinator because she was so awesome. The venue couldn't have been more beautiful and all the ladies at Avalon Legacy had so much to do with making my wedding more beautiful than I had ever imagined. About a week before the wedding I was sent this long list of questions that took me about 3 days to finish (when i say long list, I mean LONG list), but they made sure I had EVERY SINGLE BASE covered for my wedding day.

Absolutely the best day ever and it was better than I had dreamed it would be.

I felt like our vision and desire for the wedding was heard, and that we were not just another number to them.

We worked with Debbie to book our date and we worked with Alee closer to our big day. They are great! My wedding coordinator and I sat down with Alee about a month before the wedding to go over every single detail and Alee was so helpful. They created a packet with questions for brides/grooms to use so you do not miss any detail. I am SO GRATEFUL for that information and those questions. Thanks to ALRās help no detail of our big day was missed. The staff allows you to use any vendors you prefer but they have a vendor list that was SO HELPFUL.

I had 10 bridesmaids and there was plenty of room for us to have our hair and make-up done and also relax and hang out. My husband and the groomsmen enjoyed hanging out downstairs and outside. The grounds are so beautiful for pictures and the chapel area is so sweet and intimate. I also loved using the porch for our reception and the downstairs of the home for our buffet line and bar.

Faye, Alee and Debi went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They treated everyone, including our guest like family. So much behind the scenes things they took care of for us without our knowledge at the time. I would have never known all they did the day of the event if my family and guests hadnāt mentioned it to me later. Reviewed on 18-02-2018
Kris B(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2017 Absolutely loved this place. We wanted an open, comfortable place that was as far from the boring catering calls as possible and this place delivered. It was awesome, as were the owners. Highly recommended. Reviewed on 28-01-2018
Jennifer Rostro(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-03-2019 I always wanted to get married in Colorado but it wasnāt an option for us so my friend told me about Avalon. When we toured I felt like I was at a venue in Colorado- nestled in the woods but we were still in the DFW metroplex! The moment we went I knew this was where I wanted to get married. The house is gorgeous and elegant. Every room is decorated so elegantly and feels extremely inviting and cozy. The patio is spacious yet intimate. The chapel is beautiful and unique. The property is romantic and like you are in a wonderland. Every single thing about this venue is stunning!! One of my favorite parts was having our first look at the lake. It felt intimate and like we were the only two people in the world. Our wedding couldnāt have been more perfect!!! Everything from the wedding planning to the send off was perfect! There isnāt anything I would change! The staff is so nice and helpful. They treated us like we were family. Most of the wedding industry is greedy but the staff and owner here are wanting to help make dreams come true instead of just cashing a check. Alee especially made our wedding day perfect! She was the absolute best and most helpful person during this wedding season! Our wedding was the most magical and special day of our lives and we owe so much of that to Avalon! :))))) Reviewed on 25-01-2018
Kimberly Revie(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-12-2017 My (now) husband and I knew Avalon Legacy Ranch was the place for us the second we drove up! It felt like a getaway from the hustle and bustle of DFW and instead transported us to a beautiful, intimate, ācabin in the woodsā. We worked mostly with Alee, who was an absolute joy! Our day was more than perfect, all of our friends and family were just as enraptured with Avalon Legacy Ranch as we were, and we could not be happier having chosen this venue! Reviewed on 24-01-2018
Hanni Piirto(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 19-10-2017 The absolute best!! Save yourself considerable time and energy...just start (and end) your search here. My husband and I will always feel indebted to the wonderful folks at ALR. :) Reviewed on 25-11-2017
Kendra Kinnan(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 12-11-2017 We had our eye on this venue for awhile and as soon as we went for a tour, our deal was sealed. Alee and Debi were amazing, not only with their hospitality but their speedy communication whenever I had a question. Alee definitely stood out and helped make our day the BEST! She was a presence on the day of and ensured all the setup, tables, and chairs, were laid out like we specified. I went to the venue several times over the course of our engagement (visit with coordinator, to show out-of-town mom, bridal shoot, etc) and each time I was greeted with a smile, warmth, and wonderful professionalism. I highly recommend ALR for your woodland wedding. Reviewed on 21-11-2017
Laura Jamali(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 22-07-2017 When my fiance and I saw pictures of Avalon Legacy Ranch at the Dallas Bridal Show, we knew we had to go visit because it was our dream venue. Alee was so kind and helpful and scheduled a tour for us that same day since we were coming from out of town. When we arrived we knew it was where we would get married. The location is beautiful, and the little details of the ranch make it unique and rustic. The windows and lighting are jaw dropping, and the pergolas captured my heart. I knew it would be perfect for our special day because all I wanted was a place where I could relax and feel at home while getting ready, and where my guests from all over the country could spend time together and have fun. They even said we could play lawn games, so I was hooked! Plus, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We signed our contract that same day because we didn't need to see any other venues. Throughout the planning process they were available to answer questions. There were a few things that caused me to not give 5 stars. One reason is that my mom paid the full amount ahead of schedule and was contacted shortly before the wedding because they couldn't find her payment, so she was in panic mode. Another reason is that less than a week before the wedding, I received an email asking me to complete a huge bridal checklist that I feel I should have received earlier on because wedding week is already hectic enough with picking people up and other tasks, so then I was in panic mode. I feel like there could be an improvement in organization so that brides and family members are not stressed out more. My other issue was that our wedding morning was a complete disaster, and not at all relaxing like I wanted it to be. I had sent my table layout in an email ahead of time, but when we arrived nothing was set up the way I had requested, so I spent my morning sweating while moving all the tables around. My fiance and I ended up seeing each other ahead of time because he didn't want me to have to do all the work. Then, while we were trying to get ready, there were people going on a tour. I thought that was a little unprofessional. Finally, my amazing aunt had to go around and get rid of tons of cobwebs that should have been removed before we arrived. However, the wedding itself still turned out to be beautiful and fun like I wanted, and everyone commented on how amazing the venue is. I just think that some improvements can be made so that the experience is just as wonderful for the bride/bridal party/family as it is for the guests. Reviewed on 18-11-2017
Jill Fleming(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 15-01-2019 Alee and the rest of the Avalon family were AHHHMAZING!! We happened upon the venue when we saw a friend's photos and my groom fell in love with its rustic elegance. He quickly made an appointment to tour and Alee was very accommodating and met us one Monday afternoon...that was the day we put down our deposit without even a second thought. From there planning continued and Avalon helped offer vendors that they had worked with and any other ridiculous question we had. We went out several times for bridals, with our day of planner and dress rehearsal. It was always in beautiful shape, including new outdoor benches. A week before our wedding our daughter became very ill and hospitalized. When they heard she would be unable to attend the wedding they arranged a live feed of the ceremony at NO CHARGE! It was such a sweet and special gesture and we were beyond grateful! Everything on the day of went perfectly. The staff were attentive, flattering...saying everything a bride and couple in total bliss want to hear. The grounds at Avalon are gorgeous and the staff is extremely thoughtful and professional. If you're looking for a venue that truly cares about the couples that profess their love in their sacred outdoor chapel...look no further. You will truly be treated like family at Avalon!

Chesney Bond(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-10-2017 Avalon was the most amazing thing I could have ever dreamed of! I loved the staff so much too, it's like they all became family. If I could do it over I would pick Avalon as my venue EVERY SINGLE TIME. The venue is beautiful, and that made for such perfect pictures. It truly is like a fairy tale. I couldn't be happier with the wedding we had...I am such a happy bride and everyone that came to my wedding could not stop going on about how beautiful it was there. Thank y'all so much for sharing my wedding with me!! Reviewed on 04-11-2017
