Our experience at Magnolia Creek Ranch for our daughter’s wedding was absolutely wonderful. The venue itself is a stunning, well-maintained property set in a peaceful country setting, just a short drive from McKinney. We were able to enjoy an upscale wedding in a relaxed and beautiful environment, which was everything we could have hoped for. The venue offers full access to the entire property as part of the "all-inclusive" package, which included a gorgeous farmhouse where the wedding party stayed. This was a perfect arrangement and made everything much easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
We held the ceremony outdoors, which was a stunning setting. The venue provided a variety of in-house decor options that worked perfectly with the look the bride and groom wanted. While we had originally planned for the cocktail hour to be held on the large outdoor deck, the wind was a bit much that day. The flexibility to move the cocktail hour into the reception space early was much appreciated, and it worked out beautifully. The reception took place in the charming “barn,” which was also beautifully decorated with selected in-house options. The space worked perfectly for our guests and added to the overall atmosphere of the day.
The venue was exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and accessible. The staff provided a golf cart shuttle service to transport guests from the parking area, which was a fantastic touch, especially given the long gravel drive. This thoughtful service was much appreciated by our guests.
In terms of planning and coordination, we didn’t hire a wedding planner or day-off coordinator, but the communication with the venue owner, Dena, was seamless throughout the planning process. She was always available for questions, made proactive suggestions, and helped us navigate through all the details. On the day of the wedding, the staff was professional, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. The vendors included in the all-inclusive package, such as the florist, bartenders, and caterer, were fantastic. The caterer went out of his way to create a delicious vegan option for our guests with special dietary requirements, and the florist did an incredible job crafting beautiful and unique bouquets and non-floral boutonnieres that perfectly matched the couple’s vision.
One of the highlights of the venue was the beautiful farmhouse. It was updated, spacious, and clean, with plenty of room for the wedding party and their significant others. It even had a hot tub, pool, and a game room that served as the groom's suite. Staying there for the weekend allowed the wedding party to bond and relax. We added on a couple of extra days and it provided a great space for a casual "day after" get-together with family. Christine, our host, was wonderful, always responsive and quick to solve any minor issues we had (which were mostly our own doing).
I would wholeheartedly recommend Magnolia Creek Ranch to anyone planning a wedding or event. The flexibility, professional staff, stunning venue, and all-inclusive package made it an outstanding experience. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect location for our daughter's wedding and are already considering using the venue for future events. The entire weekend (and lead up to) exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful for everything Magnolia Creek...

From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our big day. The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and elegant, well-maintained spaces that made both our ceremony and reception unforgettable.

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Airbnb on the property of Magnolia Creek Ranch for our wedding weekend, and it was nothing short of perfect! The house was stunning—beautifully decorated, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed to feel at home. It was the perfect place to relax and prepare before the big day, offering a peaceful and private retreat just steps away from the venue.
The property itself is gorgeous, with breathtaking views that made our mornings and evenings extra special. We loved spending time on the patio, enjoying the scenery, and taking in the peaceful surroundings. The home was also incredibly well-stocked with essentials, and the thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket and fresh linens, made our stay even more enjoyable.
As a bonus, being so close to the wedding venue made everything so convenient. We were able to easily transition from getting ready in the morning to walking right over for our ceremony without any stress. The hosts were friendly and communicative, ensuring we had everything we needed and that our stay was as comfortable as possible.
If you're looking for a place to stay during a wedding or just a peaceful getaway, this Airbnb is a hidden gem. We couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important moment....
Read moreWe had our wedding and reception at Magnolia Creek Ranch and simply could not be happier with the accommodations, the amenities, the property itself, and Dena, Christine, and Melinda.
Dena and Christine were incredibly responsive from the time I reached out with my initial inquiry to the very end. Both were warm, engaging, and kind, and they bent over backwards to provide initial information, show us the property, and ensure we had a perfect stay at the guesthouse and a perfect wedding ceremony and reception.
We opted to stay at the guesthouse Thursday through Sunday. By the time we arrived, the barn had all tables and décor set out and ready for us, and we found a really lovely snack basket and handwritten note on the wet bar in the house. Being able to just walk across the driveway from the house to the barn to set up was incredibly helpful, and that definitely tempered our stress levels since we didn’t have to drive back and forth for days. The house itself had every possible amenity we could need, including a fully stocked kitchen, washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, soap and shampoo in the showers, and plenty of room for my parents, my sister, her kids, and us. We opted for a home-cooked meal for our rehearsal dinner, and we lacked for nothing in preparing dinner for our guests. Everything we needed to cook for and feed 15 people was right at our fingertips. The house proved comfortable and spacious for all of us.
Melinda is worth her weight in gold and then some. She was so warm and accommodating, went out of her way to take care of us, and far, far exceeded my expectations. She was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t imagine having done this without her help. She was never conspicuous and has an uncanny ability to appear out of nowhere right when you need her.
The property offers a number of really beautiful spaces for pictures, and we received so many compliments on everything about the setting. We fell in love immediately the first time we visited, so we know exactly what our guests thought of and felt about MCR. It truly was perfect, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a single thing.
If you’re considering booking Magnolia Creek Ranch, don’t think too long – just go ahead and do it. You will NOT be sorry. And Dena, Christine, and Melinda, we can’t possibly thank you enough for everything you did to ensure we had an absolutely...
