Myers Park & Event Center — Local services in McKinney

When I came to see this place for a potential wedding ceremony/reception venue I was very surprised with the quality of the place for the price. I had contacted Mark Page who is the main contact for brides. He answered all of my emails, texts, and other social media messages. He met with me quite a few times so I could bring my parents, fiancee, and vendors. None of my vendors had ever been here before but it was a beautiful venue. You have to come and see it to see it's potential. All the austin stone, wood work was not very rustic in my opinion. The Landing is where I held my ceremony and reception of 150 people and they had PLENTY of room. I had 20 round tables with 8 chairs per table, two/three rectangular tables for welcome/gifts, then a full dj with speakers, then two rectangle tables for buffet, and two tables for bar. There is a full kitchen which my caterers complimented for. It's a great size and has everything you would need I think which is rare in a venue. I contacted the venue manager the day before the wedding to change my time of when I wanted my "time" to start. He emailed me back very quickly and had it all ready. Basically what happens on your wedding day is the venue will be unlocked for you when you arrive. You will need to bring all your decor with you you cannot come beforehand to store your decor. All tables are set in place, with chairs on top of tables. You are responsible for setting up chairs and all decor. Depending on ceremony is where your chairs will be set up for you. If your reception is inside they ill clear the 24 chairs that are allowed. If you have any more than 24 for inside the rest of your guests sit at tables which is not as awful as some of you think. There was a contact the day of who I had never met until that day he will be your guy to contact about anything. He made sure ceremony set up was what I wanted before leaving to go back to his duties. We quickly realized it was too warm so we contacted him multiple times throughout the evening for him to set the air and he was happy to every time. My hair and makeup stylists had plenty of space for me, and three other people in my bridal party. The officer that they hired was very friendly and had assisted in many events at this venue so he knew how to turn on inside and outside lights, air, where things go, etc. He was a great help! I believe he even took the the trash for us while my family cleaned out the place afterward. You are presented with a card when you first get there of all the duties you are to take care when you leave the venue. The list was shorter than I had expected especially for such a DIY venue. A couple complaints I had were that you may serve alcohol, but beer must be served in cans. Which slims down your choices of beer. There is an extra $100 charge to serve margaritas. But you must provide you own machines. No other liquor is allowed. Second, they do not allow you to take tables and chairs outside other than for ceremony. The weather was perfect on my wedding day so I was disappointed that I couldn't set up a sitting area outside. Third, they do not allow any fire or sparklers outside the venue. I am sure all of my complaints are a county laws so could be out of their control. In conclusion, Myers exceeded my expectations. They were accessible, friendly, very straight forward, and clear about what kind of venue they provided and what was expected of us. Especially for the price it was everything I had hoped for. I would recommend this place to any DIY and...

So I called to scheduled to come for a tour after my mom told me to check it out since several of her costumers told her about this place. Spoke to a gentleman and asked me to come at 9 am. I live in Garland and drove 35-40 minutes. I will say this the place is gorgeous and everything I would have liked in my wedding. I introduce myself and tell him my name and I guess he confused me with someone else until he realized oh your (name). I told him my date is in October and tells me their are no available dates in October or November. My wedding is fall themed so December would have not worked at all for me. I told him why did he not tell me this before hand after driving so long and far. He didn't seem to care and told him I am very disappointed. Still was kind of whatever about it. They also scheduled multiple people to come for tours at the same time which I found odd. I know several people that are also engaged and have been telling them to check venues out at the ones Iv been going to. I will definitely tell them not to waste their time here. So thanks for wasting my time,...

I had my wedding at the landing here and the day of was great. All the chairs and tables were set up just how I had requested, the area was clean, the reception hall is spacious, and the gazebo area is well maintained. The outside area is really quite beautiful and the bridge made for some great pictures. The price of the space really can't be beat for a wedding in the DFW area, especially if you book more than a year in advance. The only bad thing about the space is that there is a big ugly driveway of uneven blacktop close by the gazebo leading up to the reception hall. What bothered me was that the employee I was in contact with during the whole planning process suddenly stopped replying to my emails in the two weeks before the wedding and only confirmed my table arrangement via phone two days before the ceremony. Afterward, they demand sensitive information like SSN just to return your deposit. I would still recommend the space...
