But, as they say, rain on your wedding day is good luck!

Please call (903)-525-3011 or Contact Us to schedule a private tour. 

Times range from 11am-3pm on weekdays (Monday – Thursday) and 11am-3pm on weekends (Friday & Saturday) depending on availability.

We only schedule tours during the week unless a weekend is available.

For special circumstances, we will try and work with you outside our normal operating hours.

To reserve your date, we generally require a 50% non-refundable retainer along with a signed contract.

The remaining balance is divided into scheduled payments leading up to your event date, and we are happy to customize a payment plan to suit your needs. All payments for wedding dates are due 90 days before the event. Full payment schedules and options are outlined in your proposal so everything is clear and transparent from the beginning.

We accept cash, checks, Zelle, credit cards (with a processing fee), and ACH transfers (with a processing fee).

Your signed contract and retainer officially reserve your date, which means we remove it from availability for other couples. Because of this, retainers are non-refundable.

If a reschedule is needed, we will always do our best to accommodate a new available date within a specified timeframe, depending on availability and contract terms. We understand life happens, and we approach these situations with professionalism and care.

No, we do not offer overnight accommodations, and vehicles may not be left onsite overnight.

However, there are wonderful hotel options in Corsicana and plenty of lake-area vacation rentals nearby for guests who want to turn the celebration into a full weekend experience.
