The Wedding Lodge - Commerce, TX

This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding in a most awesome, cozy little wedding lodge in Commerce, TX. This was the first time I had ever been to or known about this wedding venue... and I was so impressed... I just wanted to share this new discovery!
This is "The Wedding Lodge", and/or "The Lodge" .. I heard it referred to as either name. It's located on the northern edge of Commerce, TX.... 30 minutes from McKinney and only about an hour from Dallas, and an hour from Sherman/Denison area. Upstairs is the "Bridal Suite". It's warm colors and traditional decorations make you feel right at home.
The large bathroom has this awesome claw-foot bathtub
that makes for some fun pictures!
This is the downstairs dressing area for the guys... with "guy stuff"!
This is one of the guest restrooms downstairs.
This is the area in the back of the lodge where the outdoor wedding was held. The view and over-all feeling was serene.

"The Lodge" also provides their own catering. Very nicely presented and from the comments I heard from the guests... great food!
The staff was terrific... they were everywhere.. yet not to be seen. And of course, if desired, the bar.
The brides cake was set-up in this cozy little corner which made
for a great presentation.
The grooms cake and a punch fountain had a little nook of it's own. I just LOVED this setting. Very romantic!!



There's a great staircase... even for little girls and their wedding dreams!

The room is open with balcony seating all around.

Just one of the table settings upstairs.
Super fireplace!!



The lighting and mirrors in the building make for a very romantic setting.
This is Keith. He was the DJ for the evening. He had a great set-up with all the popular dance music and lighting to go with it. I think he works independently of "The Lodge", but I think he does a lot of "gigs" there.
He can be reached at 903-422-6926.


Great dance floor area, too! Just ask these two dancing queens!!




Overall, I would say if you're looking for a romantic, yet fun wedding venue... check out "The Wedding Lodge"
