Aristide, Mansfield was an excellent wedding venue choice for us. The staff, particularly Miranda, communicated effectively with us throughout the planning process and were open to answering any last-minute questions, no matter how "dumb" they may have seemed. The venue itself is beautiful and spacious, requiring minimal additional decor - our guests kept commenting on how lovely the space was. We accidentally left several items behind at the end of the night, and the staff was generous in returning them to us. Overall, Aristide, Mansfield provided a wonderful backdrop for our special day and I would highly recommend them to any couple searching for a beautiful, low-stress wedding venue.

Knotting Hill Place 

5.0

Little Elm, TX
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Knotting Hill Place has the perfect indoor and outdoor ceremony spaces. So many couples love the idea of a beautiful outdoor wedding but what happens if the Texas weather does not cooperate? At KHP we have a 10000 sq. ft. synthetic grass event lawn for the outdoor events and a 300 person dome ceiling cathedral if you would like to move indoors to say I do. Our venue was perfectly designed for weddings. It is all about flow and the guest being able to move from space to space easily and be served quickly so that they all may enjoy their special night. Our bride and grooms suites are the best in Texas. They are large and designed with bridal parties in mind. Complete with a TV screen that can watch the cameras of the rest of the venue, private lockers for the bridesmaids personal items, great lighting and salon style chairs and so on. Let's not forget both bridal and grooms suite have built in blue tooth!

  • Raw space for complete customization
  • Dressing room available
  • Provides a dedicated team on-site

Venue considerations

  • Requires outside catering services
  • Does not allow pets
  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
Knotting Hill Place was truly our dream wedding venue. Timeless, elegant, and absolutely magical, it exceeded our expectations in every way and provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. For years before getting engaged, I had driven past Knotting Hill Place and wondered if it was as grand and stunning on the inside as it appeared from the outside. The moment we stepped inside for our tour, all doubts disappeared. Every corner of the venue is intentionally and thoughtfully designed, making it breathtaking both in person and in photos. It is stunning yet warm and inviting, with a timeless elegance that feels like a French château fit for a princess. Even our very first tour, which took place in pouring rain, felt incredibly magical. One of the things we loved most is how much the venue includes and how beautiful it is on its own. While there are wonderful additional rental options, the space truly doesn’t need much to feel complete. Having a stunning indoor setting was especially important to my husband and me, as we wanted both our ceremony and reception indoors due to unpredictable Texas weather. Every time we returned to the venue, it felt just as special and awe-inspiring as the first visit. The bridal suites are incredible. They are spacious, luxurious, and comfortable, making them the perfect place to spend the day getting ready with my bridesmaids while feeling relaxed and pampered. Knotting Hill Place also hosts seasonal vendor events for couples, which we attended multiple times before our wedding. These events were such a gift during the planning process, allowing us to see the space styled in different ways, explore vendor options, and watch our vision slowly come to life. The entire Knotting Hill Place team was warm, welcoming, and supportive throughout the planning process. They were always responsive, helpful, and available to offer guidance. We also chose to work with the venue’s month-of coordinator, which was one of the best decisions we made. Our coordinator, Megan, was absolutely amazing. She took so much stress off our shoulders in the final month and ensured everything ran smoothly on the wedding day. Thanks to her, we were able to truly relax and enjoy every moment. We also highly recommend some of the venue’s add-ons, especially the custom dance floor, which tied our reception space together and made it feel so personal. The bubble machine was another standout. It added a fun, unique, and magical touch to our first dance and kept the dance floor lively throughout the night. Our guests absolutely loved it. Knotting Hill Place gave us the wedding day of our dreams, and we are so grateful for the memories we made there. We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly.

We went on a wedding tour of the Olana given by Calla and it was an incredible experience. She was very patient and polite and took the time get to know us before giving a grand fabulous tour of this enormous one of a kind property. She also provided very interesting history of the Olana. Every wedding questions we had Calla had a detailed answer to. The videos and photos on social media of this location do not do this place justice. It is a must visit!

The staff with Walters Wedding Estates were amazing to work with all throughout, from the selection of venue, to planning, to the wedding itself. They have a lot of in-house vendors and options. We didn't use all of them, but it was so helpful to not have to search for vendors in areas that my wife and I didn't have strong preferences/thoughts on. Chapel at Ana Villa was an amazing venue. Our guests thought the chapel and reception area were beautiful, and the proximity to some hotels and Grandscape and Stonebriar Mall made it very easy for our out of town guests to find things to do close-by and then get ready and walk over to the venue. The staff on the day of were amazing and kind to our guests. And our coordinator, Beth. Wow, she was an amazing lady to work with. During the planning process, she helped check in on our planning progress, and also was so attentive to any questions we had (and she can tell you we had a lot haha). She was also our day-of coordinator and helped us keep on time and comfortable. We had often heard of things going wrong with weddings and to prepare for it, but other than a couple hiccups in set-up, the wedding was smooth, and we have to credit and thank Beth and her team for so much of that. Maybe one minor feedback is that it was a little confusing to hear Walters and Marriott didn't have some kind of partnership given they're next door to each other.

I first want to say I have worked at this venue a handful of times between both the lodge and the ranch and have had a great experience each time. We've had issues with storage for some vendors and the staff was able to get it handled and assist us pretty quickly. I've loved coordinating at this venue because everything is set up and the staff helps right away the day of. Security is very pleasant to work with as well and they go above and beyond at night. I believe a lot of their services are done in house now and the times I have met their DJ and catering, they're professional. The morning staff does a great job at making sure we know who they are and they check on us throughout. Just want to post this review because reviews from vendors are rare and if you are a bride planning on booking here, as a vendor, they are truly great to work with!
