Willowood Ranch

Willowood Ranch is a private countryside venue in Bells, Texas, where organisers can host weddings, ministry retreats and other gatherings across a 400-acre property. The ranch brings its main event spaces, outdoor settings and guest accommodation together in one location, around an hour north of Dallas.

For weddings, couples can choose between a stained-glass chapel seating up to 150 guests and outdoor ceremony locations on the grounds. A nearby event centre provides 4,800 square feet of open space for receptions, rehearsal dinners and other celebrations, with seating arrangements for groups of up to 200. Its flexible layout can be configured for dining, presentations, meetings and dancing. The centre has a commercial kitchen and a guest serving kitchen, while its vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and chandeliers provide a warm backdrop for different styles of event.

The ranch also welcomes ministry retreats and other hosted events. Meeting and dining arrangements can be adapted for smaller groups, company off-sites, conference weekends and larger gatherings. Organisers can enquire about using the grounds and facilities for their particular programme.

On-site accommodation includes private rooms, cabins and larger shared houses, with options suited to wedding parties, families and retreat groups. The lodging is reserved for people attending events at the property and is arranged by request. A venue specialist can discuss availability and help organisers explore the spaces through an appointment-based tour. With ceremony, reception, retreat facilities and overnight stays on the same property, Willowood Ranch offers planners a single location for a multi-part gathering.
