Texas Wedding Venue Spotlight - Under the Wildwood
Due to the overwhelmingly large amount of people that enjoyed my Best Wedding Venues in Northeast Texas article I wrote a few weeks ago, I thought what better way to showcase these amazing Texas wedding venues than to individually highlight each of them in their own article.

Our facility is located in a country setting that is quiet and wooded. This land has been in the family a long time and after more than 25 years we are still amazed at the natural beauty these old oak trees provide. We have three children of our own. In planning and working with our kids on their weddings we found that we have a passion for creating these events because of the family, love, and friends they represent.

We hope that you choose us to be the place where your family and friends come together to make life-lasting memories.
