We don’t even know where to begin with how fabulous The Pines was for our wedding! It was an absolute dream! Kylie and her team were so easy to work with and communicate with and they helped us to create the best day of our lives! Not only did Kylie and her team keep a constant open line of communication with us, but she also answered any and all questions our coordinator had as well! The venue was absolutely gorgeous, the bridal suite was every girls dream, and even the guys had a comfortable groom suite to hang out in and watch football! I would highly recommend this hidden gem to literally anyone looking to have a wedding in the DFW area! Thank you again to the Pines for facilitating the best day of our lives! Reviewed on 28-10-2023

The venue is stunning and well priced. We did our ceremony and reception in the barn, and all our guests commented on how beautiful it was. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because we had plumbing issues and guests could not use the bathrooms near the end of the night. Reviewed on 06-07-2023

The Pines of Alvarado is a true gem! The staff was incredibly easy to work with and professional. The venue is stunning with a perfect rustic, chic vibe. Exactly what our daughter wanted for her special day. There are only two public restroom stalls which could be a challenge for a very large group, but it was fine for our medium sized crowd. There is an outside ceremony area and a cocktail area that both are wonderful spots for an outdoor ceremony. Due to the extreme Texas heat, we choose an indoor ceremony in front of the large barn doors and it turned out wonderful. So many of our guest commented on how great it was. I highly recommend this beautiful venue and would definitely use them again if the need arises. Reviewed on 26-06-2023

The venue was beautiful. Management wasn't great or helpful. They wanted me to pay $100/hour for about 7hrs for security and for 2 security guards. We were only going to serve alcohol for the toast and that's it! So maybe an hour or 2 they would of been needed. Let them know that was too much then said they can do $60/hr instead. Since we felt forced to hire security we decided to serve alcohol and not just for the toast. They then let me know we would only need the security for the hours the alcohol and not the 7hrs they had said before. Honestly I felt they were just making up prices and didn't really seem to care about my event only cause I got the cheaper package. They wouldn't answer phone calls or messages immediately and nobody was at the venue physically in case we needed help.The AC broke down who knows how long. Was notified by the security guard. He asked me if I wanted to cool off in the groom suite let him know we didn't have access to that area. Didn't want to risk management making it a big deal. He told me not to worry about them and to go cool off. The least they could of done is returned our deposit which I was never notified why we didn't get it. It shouldn't matter what package a customer gets or what kind of event someone is having they're all equally important. Although the venue is very beautiful, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Lauren Knight(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-03-2023 From start to finish I had an amazing experience here. The venue was everything I wanted and so much more. My husband and I are all about the rustic/ Texas county theme this venue offers. Kylie was my day of coordinator and I would have never made it through the wedding day without her. She put my vision to life and made all the “hard” decisions a breeze. She was a superhero at my wedding. I am just so grateful the venue has someone like her working there. Thank you The Pines for making my wedding dreams come to life! Reviewed on 04-04-2023

Kaila Smith(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 04-09-2022 The Pines is the most BEAUTIFUL venue! Everyone that helps run this venue are so sweet and very helpful. I had my wedding here on September 4th, and sadly it rained, but we were able to transition it to have an inside ceremony. It is so easy to decorate because the venue itself is gorgeous, so I really didn’t need a whole lot of decorations! The kitchen is so nice to have and my husband loved the groom’s suite! I loved how spacious the bridal suite was, the only thing was that it would get really warm in there so all of us were sweating at one point, but overall it was an amazing experience and the perfect day!I would definitley recommend this venue for your wedding, special occasions, or any event!
