It is your wedding, not ours — we just provide you with a beautiful place to have it.

Plate № 02 — The Land

Found by accident
in the spring of 2007.

Janet and Chris were looking at acreage for a small photography studio — not a wedding venue. They wandered onto a quiet stretch of Onion Creek bottomland in Driftwood, found a 1980 red barn at the back of a stand of trees plagued by oak wilt, and slowly began to clear, replant, and restore.

Almost two decades later, the oak grove is back. The barn has a polished concrete floor and a string of warm-white lights. A second barn — the Meadow — sits down a wildflower path past a vintage travel trailer tucked into a cedar break. The brides came on their own.

Plate № 03 — Two Barns, One Property

Pick the barn. We'll hand you the keys.

Each barn has its own ceremony lawn, its own reception room, its own bridal suite, and its own personality. Walk both. Pick the one that feels right.

"Can we bring our dog down the aisle?"

Yes. Dogs are welcome at The Wildflower Barn — we'll only ask that you're the one walking them.

Question № 11

"Do we have to use your caterer?"

Never. We have an open vendor policy — bring the taco truck, the BBQ pitmaster, or your aunt's enchiladas.
