It’s not just a dressing room; it’s a sanctuary where you and your bridal party can revel in those special pre-ceremony moments. The bridal suite at Addison Grove was Claire’s oasis, a place where she and her bridal party gathered to prepare for the big day.

The Addison Grove Ceremony Sites

Claire and Travis chose one of the venue’s gorgeous outdoor ceremony locations, framed by ancient oak trees. However, when it comes to ceremony options, Addison Grove offers an abundance of choices. Imagine saying “I do” with a pond view as your backdrop, or amid a pasture filled with native Texas wildflowers. Picture huge, gnarled oak trees forming a natural cathedral over you and your loved ones. Whether you’re a lover of the great outdoors or seeking something a little more traditional, there’s a ceremony location here that will resonate with you.

Cocktail Hour Space

Post-ceremony, your guests will be led to the cocktail patio. Shaded by more of those magnificent oak trees and adorned with string lights, it’s a space that feels welcoming and festive. The covered porch offers a casual setting where guests can mingle, sip cocktails, and enjoy hors d’oeuvres, all while reveling in the beauty that surrounds them. If you have a wedding planner, you’ll find that this area is ideal for setting up small vignettes or photo booths, perfect for capturing the spirit of your special day.
