At Hidden Creek Events, we’ve crafted all-inclusive packages that bring together every element of your celebration—from venue and catering to coordination and essential amenities. ✨
Dallas Wedding Venues & Packages
Your wedding day launches an amazing new chapter. Modern couples want to focus on the excitement of wedding planning rather than juggling endless vendor details. That’s where all-inclusive wedding packages make all the difference, combining convenience with enchanting settings just beyond the city limits.
Beyond Traditional Reception Venues
The Dallas wedding scene offers incredible variety. From modern downtown venues to rustic retreats, couples can choose from a rich mix of settings. But what if you could have the best of both worlds?
Why All-Inclusive Makes Wedding Planning Simple
Most wedding planning starts with venue tours and booking dates. But experienced coordinators know successful celebrations require managing many moving pieces:
- Wedding vendor selection and coordination
- Tables, chairs, and design elements
- Setup and cleanup teams
- Luxurious getting-ready spaces
- Weather backup planning
- Timeline creation and management
- Bar service coordination
- Day-of execution
All-inclusive wedding packages wrap up these elements into one dreamy bow. Think less time juggling vendor spreadsheets, more time sipping champagne and soaking in engaged life—while a dedicated venue team handles all those tiny (but mighty) details.
Introducing Hidden Creek Events ♡
Just 30 minutes from downtown Dallas, our Heath, Texas barn venue feels worlds away from city life. Our private forest retreat combines natural beauty with modern luxury, offering couples an intimate escape while maintaining downtown convenience.
No need to choose between a secluded wedding venue and easy city access; at Hidden Creek Events, you get both. ✨

Savvy Wedding Planning Tips
Want to maximize your wedding budget while creating an unforgettable celebration? Our Hidden Creek team has gathered some insider wisdom to help you create the wedding of your dreams while keeping some extra sparkle in your savings:

With modern venues offering climate-controlled spaces, winter celebrations can be just as magical as summer soirées!
- Consider a Friday or Sunday SoirĂ©e: These celebrations often come with special pricing, and you’d be surprised how many guests love a weekend-long celebration! Friday nights kick off an amazing weekend, while Sunday afternoons offer a relaxed, brunch-worthy vibe.
- Lean Into Our In-House Catering: Not only is our food absolutely delicious, but booking our catering services often unlocks special package pricing. Our experienced culinary team knows exactly how to make the most of your budget while wowing your guests.
- Partner with Our Trusted Vendors: Our curated vendor list includes amazing professionals who know our venue inside and out. They often offer exclusive pricing for Hidden Creek couples, and their familiarity with our space means smoother planning and seamless execution.
- Embrace Seasonal Beauty: Let us help you work with Mother Nature, not against her! We’ll guide you toward decor choices that complement each season’s natural beauty. Think wildflowers in spring, lush greenery in summer, rich autumn hues, or winter whites with twinkling lights.
- Localize Your Welcome Bags: Skip the expensive pre-made options! We’ll share our favorite local touches that guests actually love – from Rockwall’s best snacks to custom maps of our favorite spots. These thoughtful details often cost less while meaning more.

She made every vision of our wedding come to life and went out of her way over and over again to ensure everything was perfect.
