Questions from Dallas couples
How far is The Gardenia from Dallas?
61 miles, about an hour without traffic. Take I-35E north through Lewisville to Denton, where it joins I-35, and keep north to Valley View. Interstate almost the whole way. The venue is at 775 S Pecan Creek Trail, Valley View, TX 76272. On a Saturday afternoon, allow about an hour and 5 minutes.
How early should Dallas guests leave on the wedding day?
Leaving Dallas at 3pm on a Saturday, the drive takes about an hour and 5 minutes. Ask guests to set out about an hour and a half before the ceremony, which leaves time to park and find a seat.
How do Dallas guests get home after the send-off?
Cars can stay at The Gardenia overnight when needed, so anyone who should not drive after the party can leave the car and ride home with a friend, a shuttle or a rideshare. The drive back to Dallas at 11pm is about an hour, so a shuttle between a Denton hotel block and the venue saves your guests the late trip. At 11pm, that shuttle reaches the Embassy Suites in Denton in about 25 minutes.
Where should our Dallas guests stay?
For a late night, book rooms in Denton, 20 to 25 minutes from the venue, so Dallas guests can skip the long drive home. The Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center is our couples' favorite.
Can our Dallas vendors work at The Gardenia?
Yes. The Gardenia is open vendor, so the Dallas photographer, florist or caterer you already trust is welcome. Several teams from around Dallas have worked here already, and they are listed above.
