Styled Gallery

Wedding styles often come and go as the years go by, but one thing that stays the same is the love for a classic, elegant, romantic wedding style. While The Cinnamon Barn is being built, we’ve been honored to have some of the best DFW Wedding Professionals visit our property, and share the excitement about the beautiful grounds. We were so grateful for the opportunity to work with these talented wedding pros and wanted to introduce you to them.

The hair and makeup artist, Meghan

Meghan Palla is a hairstylist extraordinaire from the town of Southlake, TX. She was born on May 20th in Romania, where she was eventually adopted from. When she was in the 8th grade, she fell in love with hair styling, coloring, and generally beautifying it. She began working towards her love of hair when she was 15 years old and hasn’t stopped since. Even though her passion is hairstyling, she does so much more than that. Whatever you can think of, she does it body painting, airbrushing, weddings, avant-garde, fashion, and more. Shed beautify the entire world if she could, but as a single 410 person, there’s only so much one pair of hands can do. But don’t think that will stop her from achieving what she believes in! Meghan says it best: When you’re at your lowest, you have to ask yourself how bad you want to have it. For me, I asked how bad I wanted to survive. They’re the same thing for me. This is my passion and career to help create art onto moving canvases. I won’t stop until I’m seeing the view from the top.

COMING SOON!

The Cinnamon Barn wedding venue is currently under construction, with plans to open January 2023. That being said, we are currently accepting tours and bookings and offering a 20% hard hat discount for all weekend rentals.

The Cinnamon Barn started with an idea, how do we create a space that is beautiful and inviting where our guests can celebrate life. The Cinnamon Barn is built from the ground up with you in mind. It sits on 9+ acres and offers a reception hall, wedding couple’s rooms, outdoor veranda, outdoor seating area, a tented option and other amenities you would need to host your wedding, corporate retreats, graduation, birthday or anniversary party.

When you are selecting a wedding venue it’s important to look at the versatility and opportunities to fit your vision. With The Cinnamon Barn, you’ll have more than 9 acres of beautifully and thoughtfully designed grounds to create your dream event. Whether you are looking for a spring wedding near the fountain or courtyard, or a winter wedding under the heaters and warm romantic lights, The Cinnamon Barn has it all. Some of our favorite spaces and most recognizable places at the property are:

The Big Barn

The Big Barn can accommodate up to 300 guests with over 6200 sq. feet. The Big Barn has a 28-foot vaulted ceiling and is set with a neutral white modern timber look. The inspiration for this barn was to take the guests back to Texas’s outdoor COUNTRY roots with a southern touch. The White BARN is inspired to provide you with a natural, styled space with rooftop cupolas and appointed details, with all the modern features for your special events. Some of the features include drapery, band/DJ-specific outlets, natural string, and up lighting, heating and cooling, a full catering prep kitchen, indoor restrooms, and furniture for your guests.

The Patio, Our Courtyard, and The Outdoor Ceremony site

We have multiple outdoor locations for you to choose from.

We have created an outdoor patio area perfect for those golden hours and sunsets. This 1,000 sq. ft space is complete with southern-style outdoor furniture, a movable bar, bistro lighting, space heaters, an available sound system, sun protection with shades, and overhead fans. Our guests can enjoy hosting a small event on the veranda/patio – enjoying the sunset next to our fountain, pasture and ponds.

Next to the patio area is the Courtyard, designed for outdoor events and parties where the sounds from the fountain give your guests an elegant way to celebrate under string lighting. We have tried to create a space that allows your guests to relax and enjoy each other and get a sense of indoors and outdoors. We also offer tented options for guest counts of VARIOUS sizes.

In addition to a beautiful outdoor ceremony space next to a water fountain with ceremony chairs and a beautiful arch, the venue also includes a large white barn with a movable bar that can be set indoors and outdoors with lighting that brings the property to life. The white reception barn is a mix of boho and contemporary texas country barn styles with an indoor bar, drapes, french and wagon wheel lighting and chandelier, and a lush babies’ breath altar with room for up to 300 guests to enjoy. 6 eight-foot farm tables and 300 cross-back chairs with lace cushions are also included in the rental. A prep area for your caterers and a vendor room for your photographers, and videographers are available as well.

Take a look below at a few of the renderings of our beautiful space.

While these are simply renderings of what’s to come, we are making progress on the venue construction every day. We’ll continue to update the website with photos as the space continues to be built, but would invite you to also follow along on Instagram where we’re adding progress pictures regularly.

The Cinnamon Barn can host a variety of wedding-related events including engagement parties, elopements, rehearsal dinners, ceremonies, and receptions. You can bring your own DJ, caterer, or bartender, and use our on-site day-of-event coordinator all to help bring your wedding vision to life.

Located just east of McKinney and minutes from Lake Lavon you will find the property and the rolling landscape tactfully appointed to cater to your needs. Your entire guest list and all honorees will love our beautiful landscapes and tasteful décor, no matter the occasion.  The Cinnamon Barn also gives you the freedom to choose your own vendors.  If you are starting out and need contacts, we have a vendor list you can refer to if you need references for services…photography, catering, coordinators, entertainment, photo booth, etc.

Check back often as we continue to update with progress photos or inquire to set up a time to take a hard hat tour. Call 214.336.2196, or email us at info@thecinnamonbarn.com today to book your event!
