Love Begins Beneath the Tree
Rustic Elegance
Old Bison Ranch is more than a venue—it's a love story waiting to be told. Tucked away in the heart of Forreston, Texas, and just a short drive from Dallas-Fort Worth, this hidden gem is nestled within six hundred acres of pure, wooded enchantment. Here, nature whispers through the towering trees, and time seems to pause just long enough for love to unfold.
the tree
Our dreamy ceremony site rests beneath a centuries-old pecan tree, overlooking a serene, winding pond—an idyllic setting where vows feel as timeless as the landscape. With space to welcome up to 300 guests, your celebration can be as grand and soulful as your love.
The venue boasts 6,000 square feet of rustic indoor charm, 3,000 square feet of wraparound outdoor decking, and a grove of pecan trees perfect for candlelit dinners under the stars.
Brides and grooms prepare in thoughtfully appointed cabins, each space infused with warmth, elegance, and a touch of Texas soul.
Whether it’s a cozy evening by the fire pit or dancing beneath the moonlight, every detail is crafted to stir the heart.
the reception
Our newly transformed reception hall is a place where celebration and nature meet in harmony. Designed to host up to 300 guests, this grand yet intimate space is wrapped in 6,000 square feet of rustic refinement, seamlessly blending wood, warmth, and wild beauty. Just beyond its doors, 3,000 square feet of wraparound decking invites guests to take in sweeping views of our lovingly manicured grounds—each blade of grass and curve of land tended with care.
A dedicated catering kitchen with private side access ensures your culinary team can move with ease, while both the indoor and outdoor spaces glow beneath a canopy of soft string lights, casting a golden shimmer over toasts, laughter, and moonlit dances.
It’s not just a venue—it’s a sanctuary for joy, rooted in the land and lit by love.
We proudly welcome couples from across the region—from the vibrant heart of Dallas-Fort Worth to the peaceful pastures of Forreston and beyond.
Tables, chairs, and linens are all included, because every detail matters when you're celebrating something this magical.
the bridal suite & the grooms cabin
At Old Bison Ranch, we believe that every love story deserves a beautiful beginning—and that starts with the perfect place to prepare for the day ahead. Nestled among the trees, our private suites offer a serene and stylish sanctuary for both the bride and her bridal party, as well as the groom and his groomsmen.
The bridal suite is a dreamy blend of rustic charm and refined elegance—a spacious haven where laughter, champagne, and quiet moments unfold before the aisle. Just a short stroll away, the groomsmen’s cabin offers its own rugged charm, complete with a wide wraparound porch and a spiral staircase that leads to a cozy loft with views of the pond and our lovingly kept grounds.
Whether gathered around the outdoor stone firepit or simply soaking in the stillness of the land, these private spaces invite connection, calm, and joy—setting the tone for the magical moments to come.
