One of the most common questions I get as a wedding photographer is: “Do you have any favorite venues in DFW?” The answer is always YES! Over the years, I’ve photographed at some of the best wedding venues in Dallas and Fort Worth, and I wanted to put together a list of my top 10 favorites (plus a bonus spot just outside of DFW).

Whether you’re dreaming of a rustic barn wedding, a chic industrial space, or a romantic estate, this list of top wedding venues in DFW will give you plenty of inspiration. (all images and weddings were taken by Melissa Koss Photography)


If you love sweeping views of the Texas countryside, The Springs Valley View is a dream. With its outdoor ceremony space and spacious reception hall, it’s one of the most scenic North Texas wedding venues. Couples who want nature and elegance all in one will love it here.




The Brooks at Weatherford is one of the most romantic Fort Worth wedding venues. The open chapel open areas with trees feels straight out of a fairytale, and the rustic-yet-elegant reception hall makes it an unforgettable place to celebrate.




The Milestone Mansion is the definition of classic elegance. With its grand white exterior, gorgeous windows, and manicured grounds, it’s one of the best wedding venues in the DFW area for couples looking for timeless Southern charm.




If you’re dreaming of a wedding venue that blends Southern charm with European elegance, The French Farmhouse in DFW is pure magic. With its stunning white barn, timeless architectural details, and picture-perfect landscaping, it’s the kind of backdrop that makes every photo feel like a fairytale. Whether you’re envisioning a romantic outdoor ceremony or a classic indoor celebration, this venue offers both sophistication and warmth. Plus, it photographs beautifully in every season—making it one of my favorite DFW wedding venues for couples who want timeless, elegant images.




If you’re looking for a modern, urban vibe, Hickory Street Annex is one of the most iconic Dallas wedding venues. With exposed brick, tall windows, and tons of natural light, it’s perfect for couples who love that industrial-chic look.





The Orchard Event Venue is tucked away among trees, giving it a private and romantic feel. With an open-air pavilion for ceremonies and a rustic-modern reception hall, it’s one of the most versatile North Texas wedding venues.





The Brik Venue is a historic warehouse with endless charm. Whitewashed brick walls, wooden beams, and oversized windows make it a stunning backdrop for any style of wedding. It’s definitely one of the top wedding venues in Fort Worth for couples who love character-filled spaces.

The Springs in Waxahachie feels like stepping into an Italian fairytale right here in Texas. This Tuscan-inspired villa features a grand, light-filled reception room, romantic stone architecture, and a charming courtyard that transports you straight to the Italian countryside. With both indoor and outdoor ceremony options surrounded by natural beauty, it’s one of the most picturesque wedding venues in DFW for couples dreaming of timeless elegance with a touch of European romance.




Lonestar Mansion is pure luxury. With its sweeping staircase, marble floors, and grand estate feel, it’s one of the most glamorous wedding venues in Dallas–Fort Worth. If you’re looking for sophistication and elegance, this venue delivers.




Brighton Abbey is unlike any other Dallas wedding venue. Its glass chapel, lush gardens, and European-inspired architecture make it ideal for couples who want romance and sophistication wrapped into one stunning space.




Okay, this one’s a little outside the metroplex, but it’s worth the drive. The Barn at Sparrow Creek is rustic-chic perfection. With its cozy barn and beautiful open fields, it’s one of my favorite North Texas wedding venues for couples who love that warm, countryside charm.



Choosing the right venue is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding. The space you choose sets the tone for your entire day and makes a huge difference in how your photos look and feel.

Whether you’re drawn to elegant mansions, rustic barns, or modern industrial spaces, these are truly some of the best wedding venues in Dallas–Fort Worth. Each one offers something special, and I love helping my couples find the perfect fit.


✨ Pro tip: When you tour venues, pay attention to natural light, ceremony and reception flow, and how the spaces make you feel—it all comes through in your photos!
