Your storybook ending begins at Folktale.

Hospitality is a partnership with clients in celebrating a life well-lived. That’s exactly what we specialize in here at Folktale. The biggest wedding and event trend today is the focus on experience. We help our couples and clients curate extraordinary experiences that they, and their guests, will remember for a lifetime.

You bring the love, we’ll bring the party.

Folktale is a boutique garden venue equipped to accommodate your special occasion. Situated on 14 acres, this historic 1800s farmhouse, gardens, and up-and-coming Glass Hall are sure to enchant.

​The property serves as a refuge to wildlife native to East Texas. During your visit you'll likely befriend one of Folktale's many hummingbirds, butterflies, swallowtails, and on occasion, our white-tailed deer!

We take your budget and vision and curate a timeless experience that brings the most value for your special occasion. The Folktale team is prepared to make it memorable and stress-free.

Your only priority should be celebrating with loved ones.

About Lauren

Lauren founded Folktale Venue in 2022 when it was merely a farmhouse. Initially with 10 acres of blank canvas, she envisioned an event space that embraced the natural beauty of East Texas, one that could also serve as a refuge to native wildlife. The result? A storybook setting that serves as a destination for upscale garden weddings and events.

With over 10 years of experience in project management and event design, Lauren works directly with every client to ensure they’re receiving only the best that Folktale hospitality has to offer. For full-service event design, Lauren works with clients 1:1 to bring their floral and tablescape visions to life. Backed by her phenomenal team, every event is given a level of attention that can’t be found at any other venue.

Your celebration starts here!
