Questions from Southlake couples
How far is The Gardenia from Southlake?
46 miles, about 45 minutes without traffic. Take TX 114 west to I-35W, then head north through Denton and up I-35. The venue is at 775 S Pecan Creek Trail, Valley View, TX 76272. On a Saturday afternoon, allow about 50 minutes.
How early should Southlake guests leave on the wedding day?
Leaving Southlake at 3pm on a Saturday, the drive takes about 50 minutes. Ask guests to set out about an hour and 15 minutes before the ceremony, which leaves time to park and find a seat.
How do Southlake 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 Southlake at 11pm is about 45 minutes, 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 Southlake guests stay?
A room block in Denton keeps the drive after the send-off to 20 or 25 minutes, a lot easier than heading back to Southlake. Our couples most often choose the Embassy Suites by Hilton Denton Convention Center.
Can our Southlake vendors work at The Gardenia?
Absolutely. Choose any caterer, DJ or florist you like, and bring your own alcohol for the bar. Several teams from around Southlake have worked here already, and they are listed above.
