An hour from home, a world away.
All The Room You Need
Surrounded by sprawling, mature oak trees, a serene pond and open pasture, The Oaks at Williams Creek is a brand new, stunning rustic-modern barn placed perfectly on 100 acres in the East Texas countryside. Whether you are looking for an indoor or outdoor venue for your wedding, corporate retreat, prom, graduation, or family and class reunions, The Oaks at Williams Creeks offers all of the charm of country life conveniently just outside the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
The Building
Accommodating up to 300 guests, our 3,500-square-foot rustic-modern barn features chandeliers hanging from the dramatic cathedral ceilings, whitewashed shiplap and a grand, metal and wood staircase that adds an understated elegance to any event.
The Grounds
With privacy and nature in mind, the venue is situated on the property so that you cannot see a road, house or any of the other reminders of day-to-day life. If you choose to take your venue outdoors, a grand wood and metal pergola frames our peaceful, picturesque pond, serving as the perfect backdrop for your event or photos.
Bride & Groom Suite
Our stunning and large bridal suite features a walk-in shower and vintage clawfoot tub to soak in before your big day. Along with two salon-style chairs, quartz countertops, natural lighting, plenty of mirror space and private balcony, our bridal suite serves as the perfect headquarters for all of your Big Day needs. Our cozy groom’s suite also features its own private bathroom, large leather couch and arm chairs, a flat-screen television, and locker-style storage to help the guys kick back in style.
Outdoor Social Spaces
Whether you’re sipping a libation from our relaxing Adirondack chairs, playing a fun game of cornhole or gathering around the silo bar, our outdoor social spaces serve as the perfect reception or cocktail space for any event.
